Killer robot posted:This is only half true. Salicylic acid found in willow bark isn't used as an internal painkiller today. It's mostly used as a topical treatment for skin conditions like warts and psoriasis. The reason is that it has nasty side effects when taken internally, with a significant risk of severe gastric disturbances or intestinal bleeding. You know how aspirin can give you an upset stomach? The original was much worse.

Preaching a lifestyle of exercise, fresh air, and an astounding amount of enemas, Dr. Kellogg pioneered many good ideas utilized in modern health but accompanied them with many other less helpful theories. Among the more memorable were his insistence of removing portions of patients' bowels that he thought aided in spreading disease (due to rotten food overstaying its welcome within a body) and an amusing procedure wherein yogurt was given to both ends of the digestive system simultaneously. An easy theory would be that sex has to be sinful because that way women are easily branded as property, and the only not-Devil-approved sex is between man and his wife. That was the moral of the Onan and widow story, too, sort of, she can't inherit but a baby boy could. Rappaport fucked around with this message at 10:39 on Aug 17, 2023 |

BiggerBoat posted:For the anti abortion crowd, especially the hardcore ones with the graphic images of fetuses and poo poo, how do they rationalize things like contraception and the morning after pill that 100% involve no "butchery" or "murder" in any way whatsoever? Is the idea that loving should always result in a baby and, if so, why didn't God make it so that that always happens? From a catholic perspective, you can skip a bunch of Thomas Aquinas recapitulating Aristotelian teleology and say that the medieval church decided that you're sinning if you're not following god's purpose for you, which for humans is to make babies. (The medieval church devoted a lot of careful study and impeccable logic to There have been critiques of this reasoning. On top of that, the anti-abortion movement continues a very long religious tradition of not understanding science at all, so there is a widespread belief that various form of contraception are abortifacients, which is to say their mechanism of action is actually an itty bitty abortion, ie butchery and murder! This isn't actually how most of them (the pill, IUDs, Plan B) work, but it also didn't change anything back when masturbation scientists realized every load shot isn't a holocaust of homunculi, either.

Crunch Buttsteak posted:I've been falling down a Tradcath rabbit hole for the past few months (please send help) and, yeah, "sex that doesn't result in a baby is not God's plan for us" is a pretty common sentiment with them, and they're one of the major players in the movement. Not every pro-lifer follows that exact reasoning, of course, but the ones who do are pretty explicit that their main gripe is that sex should have consequences. Babies are simultaneously a precious gift from God and a terrible punishment that drag you down for the rest of your life.

The Maui fires were caused by orbital lasers, apparently: https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/08/how-a-5-year-old-spacex-photo-fueled-maui-wildfire-conspiracy-theorists/ Maui truthers are so dumb they’re using a Falcon 9 photo as wildfire evidence There were some time-lapse photos of a Falcon launch at Vandenberg a few years ago that admittedly do look like a scifi laser, so of course people are running with it despite Vandenberg being in California, not Hawaii. I'm not sure why you'd use a giant space laser instead of a can of gas and a lighter, but then again I'm not in the Illuminati.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:The best example being decoction of willow bark. It's a traditional natural herbal remedy made from trees that humans used for thousands of years for all kinds of problems. Then we refined it and super concentrated it and turned it into a little pill you could easily swallow instead of a bunch of nasty gross brown liquid. It works! The biggest problem with natural remedies, even if they work, is that you have no control over the quality of the product. To go back to willow bark, the amount of salicin in willow bark varies from tree to tree and from year to year on the same tree. Even different parts of the same tree, harvested on the same day. You never know what dose you are going to get - ineffective, mild, therapeutic or toxic. Remember, the first rule of toxicology: dose makes the poison. Not only does modern medicine give you consistent doses of what you need, it also purifies it and removes all the useless or harmful poo poo that you might otherwise be exposed to from boiling chunks of bark in a pot on the stove for a few hours.

People should be put in facilities that comport with their personal gender expression. Even setting aside the ethics of it, it's a safety issue. But I do get the bafflement at marginalized populations joining movements that want to eradicate them.

I empathize with her because I am pretty sure that regardless of crimes-status, what transfem hasn't worried about going to guy prison? Triply so if they have been on hormones for any period of time. But still, like what the gently caress did you expect, girl? You did a terrorism. I have empathy but no sympathy.

Women shouldn't be in men's prisons no matter what crime they did. But MTG, Jim Jordan, and Matt Gaetz all disagree on that one. She should at least be asking some of the trans ally representatives "yeah I hosed up and did crimes, but still have the right to protection from cruel and unusual punishments, can you help?"
