It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Placebo works though. That is why we named the effect.

Going to mosqu with your homies and helping eachother feel better in culturally relevant ways is better organizing than most of us in the west get up to.

no, placebo does not work. literally the point of using one as a control is that it doesn't have any therapeutic effect.

You are thinking of the null group. Placebo works, that is why you have to controll for it so you don't wrongly think the improvements is due to your treatment. Although, this really isn't really relevant to the conversation about how making sad people less sad is a good thing.
