One of the claims with acupuncture is that everyone has Meridian Lines and master practitioners find and put needles in them to manipulate the body or something. Those lines are suppose to be constant for the same person. It’s been years, but someone decided to schedule several acupuncture appointments with several different masters and each master put needles in different points.

If any part of acupuncture turns out to have some real deep tissue therapy application, how it’s practiced would end up changing so much, it wouldn’t even be called acupuncture anymore. Shit like reusing needles or Punctured Lungs are not something that has any excuses to happen in real medicine.

Anyway, this group also likes to claim that cupping, reflexology, chiropractic, or any other “eastern medicine” is being kept down by racists in the American Medical Association.

Thailand’s King is something else. Here’s a photo of him being picked up for his coronation.

I don’t know much about the Netherland’s laws other then you can loose or get your driver’s license restricted if you’re diagnosed with Autism

They knew what they were working on.

If you put information out there, don’t be mad when people put counter information back at you. I know far too many people who believe in alt medicine and talk freely about it, that it’s getting harder and harder to bite my tongue. I don’t care if you think Acupuncture works for you. The fruit diet worked for Steve Jobs until it didn’t.

It’s also a lot easier to falsely report the car for a crime with the plate number. Far too many people are bored online and I would be terrified of a couple thousand seeing my truck and plate numbers.

It would be inconvenient for the economy if we started prioritizing people.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

Thailand? Or the UK?

Trump already brought that one back.

Yeah, idiots wear this shit because of the price tag. Not despite it.

A what bag? I thought this was medical stuff before seeing the thumbnail.

I know a frown adult that does that in every election. Local elections, sure, I can understand, but he does that with all of them, Basically a card carrying communist that’s a useful idiot for right wing politicians.

Sounds right. There’s that British family that was caught underpaying their staff do much, they spent more on their dog

The only thing you’re interested in is showing how much of a bigger person you are on the internet. What we’re doing is speaking about all the ways this is fucked up and hypotheticals about how it can go wrong. For a lot of us, this isn’t new. I my political life time alone, I saw 8 years of rights being eroded by the Bush II administration with no real push back and once Obama got in under the promise of fixing things, a whole lot of inaction on rolling back any of the rights violations.

The powers that be are taking advantage of how distributed the responsibilities of government are. If it’s so easy to lose rights, why is it so hard to gain them back. There’s always someone else to point at for why that is the case. In Nazi Germany, that was called The Banality of Evil. I see that everyday when some injustice is hand waved away as being too ingrained to do anything about. Police Reform? Too hard. Effective Climate Action? It would hurt the economy. The SC is eroding our rights? Have to wait for someone to die or retired(lol).

Sure. Why not? It’s not like the next R in office wont do exactly that anyway.

If he went to their homes and strangled them himself?

I was actually think of him pulling a Vlad the Impaler and inviting them over for dinner.

The UCMJ isn’t just guidelines. It’s actual rules. And murder is still illegal.

If there’s anything I learned from the Trump years, hell even the Bush II years, is that there are no rules if no one enforces them.

“If you don’t like it, then don’t look.”, said same demograph that can’t stop obsessing over Disney being “woke”.

To be fair, the VP did organize a coup against him.

Does this mean the President can murder the SC members they don’t like and replace them?

it takes Peter a good long while to learn that lesson

That’s called a Character Arc. He’s a kid in the beginning.
