Reply to Asians were the First People in Europe According to Recent Genetic Studies. by KottjornGoad

Not sure how genetic studies could determine if they were people or not. Or that they were first.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in For The First Time, Less Than Half Of UK's Population Is Christian: Report by khushraho

I was making a joke about "Christian" being something that you are, as opposed to being an adherent.

This relies on self-reporting, of course. There could be Christians who have no idea they are "that way". Or are in denial of it, and only secretly Christian, perhaps even publicly anti-christian. Of course you could also have false Christians who are just using Jesus as a beard.

Reply to IBD Patients Report Fewer ER Visits with Medical Cannabis by BoundariesAreFun

So IBD has a protective effect versus medical cannabis. I'm not sure it's a worthwhile trade-off.

Reply to The interplay between adolescents’ Internet addiction and family-related factors: researchers identified three common patterns, and in no one the adolescents’ addiction was below minimal risk, we advocate the need to train parents along with adolescents on healthy technology use by giuliomagnifico

> Internet addiction, also known as “compulsive Internet use,’ ‘problematic Internet use,’ and ‘pathological Internet use’ (Zhao et al., 2022), is not officially recognized as a mental disorder by the American Psychiatric Association (APA; Kuss & Lopez-Fernandez, 2016). However, Internet gaming, a subcategory of Internet addiction, is formally included in the 11th version of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) by WHO in 2018 (Poznyak, 2018). Internet addiction is defined as the excessive or uncontrollable use of the Internet leading to symptoms of withdrawal and tolerance (Young, 1998). Although there are no official diagnostic criteria for Internet addiction, Young (1998) based the diagnostic criteria for Internet addiction (IA) on the extreme gambling criteria as suggested in DSM-IV. The four characteristics of addictive behaviours: excessive use, withdrawal, tolerance, and adverse psychological consequences are often found present in Internet-addicted individuals (Fumero et al., 2018).

That's a problem, because the extreme gambling criteria is irrelevant to "internet addiction"...which is not a recognized disorder. They are making it one by using the criteria that fits their need for internet addiction to exist.
