Eh, I feel kind of bad for them to be honest. I think they've already been through at least two different auditions to get to that point, so it's pretty obvious that the producers are putting them through on purpose.

It's the fact that they don't seem to have a clue just how bad they are. Watch the early auditions for American Idol, it's always the most terrible singers who seem to have the biggest egos. I learnt the term 'Dunning-Kruger Effect' from watching that show.

Kansas City is the city of fountains, and they're often dyed with various festive colors (usually blue for the Royals when baseball season gets going, but also pink, purple, green...they all look terrible). Unlike most of them, the Northland Fountain runs all year long and turns into an ice sculpture when it gets cold. The city decided to dye it red for the Chiefs and I bet you they won't be doing that again.

The even better part is six weeks after that lady was mauled, some drunk teens tried to crawl into Binky's enclosure to go swimming. They got mauled too, of course. They never confirmed it was Binky who did it, since no one witnessed the attack and he had a buddy in his enclosure named Nuka, but he was found with blood on his face, so there you go.

Binky was a celebrity up here in Alaska for chewing up stupid people. I had stuffed animals named after him and Nuka when I was a kid. :3:

Oh my loving god this is the stupidest thing I have ever seen on the internet. Like the poster above me said, in the photo she posts of the original skin issue. It's the tiniest loving dot on her nose that a doctor could have sorted out in a small amount of time.

She went the other route and now her entire loving nose looks necrotic. Oh my god. I mean sure she wanted to save a bit of money, but to be honest I would so much rather spend the money going to a doctor than turning my face into a loving zombie. Jesus christ I don't even know what to say.

Oh that's terrible. This sort of thing is why I rail against alternative medicine.

There are two videos of scaffolds hitting overhead high voltage lines on YouTube. In the video I am linking to, it looks like (miraculously) at least the guy on the left seems to run away, and at the very least the guy on the right didn't get "hung up" on the scaffold and appeared to jump clear. Note that the arc actually blew apart the concrete pad that the scaffold was moving on. The guys are both very lucky and very foolish. (Surviving that without debilitating burn/shock injuries.)

Holy poo poo

quote:

I did some research on zinc chloride. It's described as "corrosive" but further examination turned up something interesting. Not to human cells, but to PLANT cells--it will break down cellulose. Cancer has been described as very similar to fungus, which is a form of plant life. So, if cancer cell walls likewise contain cellulose like fungal cell walls, then what the zinc chloride does is to break down the cellulose walls of cancer cells so that bloodroot can penetrate the interior of the cell.


With cancer, you never know how much surrounding tissue is affected, even if it hasn't turned cancerous, it could be precancerous or otherwise abnormal.

HOLY gently caress. I actually yelled out loud when I saw it in the stage where it was beginning to come off. :stonk: This isn't schadenfreude, this is pity.

edit: I kept reading down the thread and now I'm watching these idiots echo-chamber and backpat about how safe and effective this compound is in removing cancer... as far as I can tell, the success stories are from people successfully chemically burning off the offending cell clusters along with whatever skin is around it, and they'd get about the same results from just cutting the drat things off. Pity turned back into rock hard schadenfreude. Except for that one girl. Nobody deserves to have their nose fall off. It's kinda cool how her nostrils healed though!

Some guy on that forum posted:

I have BCC on my chest. I am male. I went to the dermatologist, who "suggested" (meaning decided on) surgery. I accepted, thinking "Iow hard could it be? It's on my chest, there's tons of skin around it, she'll just remove an entire skin patch with a large, say 1 inch wide, safety zone around it, and then zip it up with stitches", because, well, that's the sensible approach. But no, no, no. She had to just scratch at it, removing it very incompletely.

It is a known fact that cancers grow faster once they've been cut and not completely excised. Well guess what. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

I've been using the Black Salve successfully on my lesions, which are now much larger than just before the dermatologist's surgery, but I am getting rid of it, quite unlike conventional medicine did.

After seeing Hoxsey's photos and according to my own experience, ONLY diseased tissue is affected by Black Salve, which means it creates the MINIMUM scarring you can possibly have. Surgical tools will NEVER, EVER achieve such precision.

Here's my video series, currently running 12 videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLd5ZAHbQyq3OyZY7Jt-OAQmjTiSHGjyJi

This stuff is the real deal and you so-called "quack busters" can go back to living under a rock, where you belong.

Hmmm, yes, slather it all over. Gosh, look at all this cancer being drawn out exactly where he applied the corrosive salve! Hoo boy, those useless doctors!!

Yes, criminal is a word I'd use in this context, but it's not to describe the doctors...

quote:

I believed the Black Salve I used was the Herbal Plus Brand; however, after checking with the company recently I was told it was most likely their previous product name Can-X. There is no label on the container.

Anyone who puts unlabeled goop on their face that causes them intense pain and still recommends it as a "treatment" for anything deserves everything they get. Jesus gently caress.

She's not the only person stupid enough to try it. I can't really laugh over it though because those pictures are just so nasty. It baffles me that someone would rather burn their flesh off than take chemotherapy.

I also remember seeing the Binky incident on some old Spike TV show and the woman who got mauled was interviewed in her hospital bed. She said something like "The bear looked so innocent. It didn't occur to me that it'd be vicious." You'd think someone who lived in a country full of dangerous animals would have some goddamn common sense around them.

The thing that blows my mind in this blog is that at the end of the post she says she ended up going with surgery. So after a month of using black salve, and doing God knows what to her skin and body, she had a 3! hour surgery that removed the tumor and said the next day she didn't even feel like she had surgery and was off her pain meds because the was very little pain. I just don't understand how someone can have the choice of months of burning your skin and anything nearby or a 3 hour surgery and choose the months of pain and other medical complications.

And miles to go before I sleep,

What really gets me is that when I googled "black salve" I got: a ton of pictures of people burning off pieces of their faces, one image calling for the decriminalization of black salve in Australia, one band flyer, and three pictures of people smearing this poo poo on their pets!

I cannot loving handle that. It's one thing to gently caress yourself up, but to inflict it on something that has no say, let alone understanding. "Join a good online Black Salve support group. Your neighbors aren't going to be much help to you with this so you will probably need to look further afield for answers to your questions." Just gently caress right off.
