How would I know? It’s randomized.

I took the list of baby names we like, randomized it, and made a playoff-style tournament bracket to help get a better idea of which names we actually like best. Choosing a baby name is such a strange undertaking.

Fr like it couldn’t have been something clever tying back to the Underground Railroad. Or have the password be randomized every playthrough and you have to find clues through the red line trial.

And as you can probably see, they aren't all nessecarily positive outcomes for him 😅 He thinks the outcomes are fully randomized, but truth is they can be influenced by his thoughts, ergo why he can end up in say...a bunnygirl outfit if he's visiting Casino Night Zone.

A groundbreaking 2022 study published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine tested whether natural fruit enzymes could actually reduce those annoying eye floaters that cloud your vision. Researchers conducted a rigorous randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 224 patients aged 30-60 who had symptomatic vitreous opacities caused by vitreous degeneration or hemorrhage. For three months, participants took capsules containing bromelain from pineapple (190 mg), papain from papaya (95 mg), and ficin from fig (95 mg) at doses of 1-3 capsules daily. These proteolytic enzymes specifically target the protein deposits that create those floating specks and clouds in your visual field. The study design was as rigorous as it gets in medical research, eliminating bias and placebo effects. The results showed genuine potential for oral mixed fruit enzymes to reduce eye floaters naturally. Instead of invasive procedures or just living with impaired vision, this research suggests that concentrated enzymes from common fruits could break down the vitreous opacities that create floaters. The fact that this was published in a peer-reviewed medical journal with proper controls makes it legitimate science, not just another natural health claim. For millions dealing with eye floaters, this represents real hope backed by clinical evidence.

Randomization would be impossible. While there would be plenty of families willing to participate on both arms, I think few to none would be willing to be randomized to either arm. So, a prospective observational trial of non-vaxxers, which has been done many times in smaller scales, would be the next best option. This would satisfy your complaint about reporting bias, but I’m sure you would have other issues. Perhaps the best most natural option is to remove the mandates and let people choose. This is currently playing out in limited areas, and this could give us an answer relatively soon.

me after i talk about randomized flavored menstrual pads and realize how horrible that sounds so i try to act nonchalant and say what's next but deep down i know i'm goated <3

thanks! the exam picks 4 random scenarios, 15 questions each, 60 total. every question is tied to one scenario — you answer as the architect of that system. each sitting is different since the scenarios are randomized.

Researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and collaborators conducted a randomized controlled trial of 61 healthy but sedentary adults aged 45–64. After two years of structured exercise training, participants showed significant improvements in cardiovascular fitness and a reduction in heart stiffness, a key feature of cardiac aging. The results were published in the journal Circulation. What the study actually found VO₂ max (a measure of aerobic fitness) increased by about 18%. The heart's left ventricle became more elastic and less stiff. Heart filling and pumping capacity improved. These changes were not seen in the control group that did yoga, balance, and light strength work. What about the "20 years younger heart" claim? That phrase is widely used in media coverage and by researchers discussing the findings. The study itself did not literally measure a heart becoming exactly 20 years younger. Rather, the improvements in cardiac stiffness and function were estimated to resemble reversing roughly 20 years of age-related cardiac decline in some measures. It's an interpretation of the physiological changes, not a direct age measurement. Important caveats Participants were healthy middle-aged adults, not people with advanced heart disease. The exercise program was substantial: roughly 4–5 sessions per week, including high-intensity intervals and endurance training. Researchers noted that starting before about age 65 appears important because the heart retains more ability to remodel itself at that stage.

Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs): A Tool of Pharmaceutical Monopoly Over Bodily Disease: [For the Salaf and the Sunni Salafi Muslim doctors, centuries of Tajriba (real, lived healing) were enough. Yet today, without an RCT, a finger is not to be moved. A Sharī cure like al-Fātiḥah must be peer-reviewed to be "real."?? This is the madness of modern medicine.] In his explanation of Ibn al-Qayyim’s lofty book Madarij al-Sālikīn, Shaykh Dr. Abū Iyād Amjad Rafīq highlights the false monopoly of medicine created by modern institutions who idolize randomized control trials (RCTs) and discredit lived human experience. “This whole idea that you must have a randomized control study or systematic review... this never existed before.” — Shaykh Dr. @AbuIyaadSP He explains: “So, the third [type of evidence], I said, is: he gives an example from experience, right? So, we said: 1. From the Sunnah, 2. From the qawāʿid of ṭibb (principles of medicine), and 3. From tajribah, personal experience.” “And personal experience is an acceptable, valid method that can be used in medicine. This whole idea where you have to have a randomized control study and systematic review, this is all [new]. This didn’t exist before. How were people healing themselves and curing themselves for thousands of years before the modern idea of peer review, systematic review, and randomized control trials? No, this is the monopoly that has been created—to keep medicine in a monopoly.” He then rightly asks: “There were no such things in the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. Are you going to come and say: ‘Show me a randomized control trial to prove that al-Fātiḥah is a cure’? Who’s going to speak like this? Are you going to speak like this about the Revelation and the Sunnah?” He concludes: “So tajribah (experience) is valid in medicine. Tajribah. This is how people learn. This is how people develop medicine. It is valid.” Then he cites Ibn al-Qayyim directly from Madarij al-Sālikīn: “As for the testimony of experience in this matter, it is too numerous to be counted, and this has been the case in every age.” Ibn al-Qayyim continues: “And I myself have experienced from this, personally and through others, amazing cases. Especially during the time I was residing in Makkah, may Allāh make it mighty.” 6 Madārij As Salikīn By Abu Iyaad 17052025 soundcloud.com/salafi-public… 📜 A profound reminder on The Superiority of Prophetic Medicine: Islamic Prophetic medicine, and centuries of tajribah (expertise) by Muslim Sunni doctors are not dependent on lab coats, funding grants, or pharma-approved journals of disbelievers. Revealed medicine (that which comes from the Qur’ān, the Sunnah) and the insights of the rightly guided scholars, holds a loftier station than the experimental and limited frameworks of modern medicine, especially those produced by disbelievers who do not know Allah. This isn't to deny that worldly treatments can have benefit, but to say: true healing is in what Allah revealed. As Ibn al-Qayyim and others made clear, Prophetic Medicine remedies often surpass physical ones, not only in scope, but in depth and impact. Yet tragically, many Muslims today are blind to this truth. Why? Because of sin, disobedience, and distance from Allah. When the heart is clouded by transgression and heedlessness, it fails to recognize the light of guidance, even when it stands in front of them in the form of Shari cure, like Al-Fātiḥah. This is not just an intellectual failure, it's a sickness of heart. A sickness where we turn to the creation for healing before the Creator. Where we search for cure in chemicals, while neglecting the words of the One who created both the ailment and its remedy. t.me/NoContagion/75
