First house we looked at buying was on the market for about 4 hours, and was back on the market a week later at a $2800/mo rental

I firmly believe in ACAB but I don't support gunning them down from a sniper's perch from several hundred yards away. Especially if they have a legit reason to be coming for your rear end like being/protecting a kiddie diddler. They should have done more than bust that fuckers nose.

My room mate has gone soft chud since the election, what with the listening to Jordan Peterson and that group of weirdos. His argument against "PC Culture" is, "words can't hurt you so why should you be punished for saying hurtful things?".:cripes:

edit: on a side note, we get into political discussions sometimes and I don't think he's a horrible rear end person. He's decently educated and doesn't hold much more than center right positions on things, but when it comes to foreign policy stuff he may as well be some weirdo far right chud who doesn't understand that literally sending in the troops for every foreign policy decision is dumb as hell.

Ask him how long he thinks that its going to remain words, especially as his buddy Trump openly praised a man who physically assaulted a reporter last night, or how the groups who follow Trump are openly calling for violence against Leftists and Democrats.

Ask him where he draws the line?

acupuncture and chiropractors have been proven to help with chronic pain and are probably better avenues to explore than just giving people handfuls of opiods as a first step. :ssh:

Acupuncture has no supporting evidence whatsoever, so I don't know what you are talking about at all. https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/acupuncture-doesnt-work/

quote:

“Is there really any need for more studies? Ernst et al.18 point out that the positive studies conclude that acupuncture relieves pain in some conditions but not in other very similar conditions. What would you think if a new pain pill was shown to relieve musculoskeletal pain in the arms but not in the legs? The most parsimonious explanation is that the positive studies are false positives. In his seminal article on why most published research findings are false, Ioannidis32 points out that when a popular but ineffective treatment is studied, false positive results are common for multiple reasons, including bias and low prior probability.”

And a chiropractor is just as likely to relieve your pain as he is to cause you to have a stroke or become paralyzed due to poor spinal manipulation.

Your spine is the home if your central nervous system, do NOT encourage someone to twist/bend it who isn't a neurosurgeon or a qualified medical massage artists (who isn't going to try to 'manipulate' your spinal column anyways.)

https://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/chirostroke.html

quote:

I have been doing a vascular surgery rotation for the past month, which is part of my postgraduate medical education. During my chiropractic training, when the subject of manipulation-induced stroke was brought up, we were reassured that "millions of chiropractic adjustments are made each year and only a few incidents of stroke have been reported following neck manipulation." I recently found that two of the patients on my vascular service that suffered a cerebrovascular accident (stroke) had undergone neck manipulation by a chiropractor, one the day that symptoms had begun and the other four days afterward. If indeed the incidence of stroke is rare, one M.D. would see a case of manipulation-induced CVA about every 10 years. But I believe I have seen two in the past month! I therefore urge my medical colleagues to question their patients regarding recent visits to a chiropractor/neck manipulation when confronted with patients that present with the neurologic symptoms of stroke. I also urge potential chiropractic patients to not allow their necks to be manipulated in any way. The risk-to-benefit ratio is much too high to warrant such a procedure.
