  • they already won by getting a platform to debate in the first place

    They certainly didn’t. The reason why we are in this position in the first place is that the scientific community has ignored these charlatans for so long. Science communicators like Professor Dave actively working to dismantle the talking points of these figures works to at least make it possible for science-minded people to be able to defend their ideas more easily, make it so that people unsure about these topics stop considering conspiratorial views, and just maybe make people deep in the conspiracy theory at least be unable to sleep at night thinking about what they’ve heard. This stuff does actually help people.

    Their ideas do not deserve the respect of being on an equal stage with the scientific consensus.

    Yes, that’s why they should get humiliated publicly in exchanges like this.





  • When you say ban stuff from abroad, you mean they search packages coming from abroad?

    Sorry, it turns out that what I had heard before was exaggerated. It seems that they used to tax stuff you bought from abroad only if it passed 30 euros, but now they’re doing it for anything you buy, even if it costs like a dollar, and the taxation rates are pretty bad (30% for products from the EU, 60% for other countries, and an additional 20% for electronics, personal care products etc.). I could try it I guess but I would really need to save money for it.

    Also in Turkey you can get estradiol over the counter? Without a prescription? That sounds really cool!

    Yup! That is pretty nice c:


  • Androcur is 1800TRY (~40USD) in my country and it would take me some saving up just to spend that much lol. Another reason I can’t get vials is my country has effectively banned getting anything from abroad.

    My current intention is to just test out its effects for a month or so, using OTC estradiol meds which are pretty cheap (Climen is 75TRY but Turkey is seeing a supply shortage of it for some reason, and Cyclo-Progynova is 150TRY but it seems I can only use half a package of it because of norgestrel). I don’t think that monotherapy is possible with these 🙁
