I think it gets even worse?

Lyme disease and chronic lyme disease are two different things.

Lyme disease is caused by a bacteria and is usually cured in a few weeks.

Chronic Lyme disease has no medical definition in America and has a certain amount of woo and bullshit attached to it. Persistant symptoms after receiving the cure for Lyme disease are correctly called Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS), which has no proven treatment.

Judging by their other posts and mention of a liquid, they're talking about homeopathic "medicine".

So, either these idiots are backing a fake cure for an untreatable disease, backing a fake cure for a disease which doesn't exist, or they love ticks.

Pick your poison.

Yeah, there are chronic residuals of Lyme disease, but it's a bacteria. Once it's treated, it doesn't really progress.

I do sometimes feel like the idea of "chronic Lyme disease" falls under the umbrella of "doctors just don't believe women" such that no one is able or willing to explain their symptoms, so patients end up inventing a "disease" so that they might get treatment. The woo extortion around it is really just another malady from a system that is hesitant to truly treat the ailments of those less than financially capable of paying for treatment.

The fact that you can buy "homeopathic" "medicine" in the US is genuinely grotesque and depraved, they sell that trash next to the real medicine and it's packaged and designed to be difficult to distinguish from real meds. They even sell special formulations for kids.

My cat had kidney disease and for some reason, the big pet stores sold homeopathic kidney supplements. I get that they might work as a placebo on idiot humans, but on cats?

I guess cause the hand goes from darker to black to then very white? Seems like someone just picked 3 stock photos without thinking about it. But one could argue that the instinct to view white hand as inherently cleaner is a racism. I�m not saying that, but I�m guessing that�s the logic?

I kind of took it to imply that cultures that traditionally eat with their hands are inherently unhygienic.

There are literal suburbs with HOAs that won't allow minorities to live in them.

While many HOAs (AKA restrictive covenants) were initially created for this express purpose, U.S. courts have invalidated any sort of racial restrictions for 70 years.

I loving wept reading that article. It's incredibly well written and laid out, but it's a hard read.

The thing that hit me hardest was just the brute objectivity of it. Bad things happen to poor people resulting in punishment, wealthy bad actors perform bad acts and receive minimal to no punishment.

Is the CNN headline about Macron because he is raising the retirement age a considerable amount?

from 62 to 64 I believe. But the article notes that France has a plethora of retirement programs and points out the national ballet company's policy allowing retirement for dancers at 42 which had been tradition since the 18th century.

It's odd how that stuff gets ingrained in our culture. Back in the 90s I had an adult black friend who didn't know what Brazil nuts were supposed to be called. Her entire life she, and everyone she knew, had only ever heard them called by the racist nickname.

All the best Chinese food places in the UK now are almost always 3.2-3.5 stars on any given rating system. Usually not much more than a glazed hole in the wall, you can't see in or out because the inadequate ventilation means the window is constantly steamed. It will probably have a bunch of Chinese students from the local university eating there.

Often the only place to get good pig's ear.

Isn't that like a thing with authentic places? Where white folks will rate based on service, but ethnic chinese will rate based on food, averaging out to around 3/5.

When I had a bunch of drainage tubes in me after a surgery I was curious about the complicated medical procedure they would have to do to take them out.

Turns out they just pull those bad boys out while I was laying in a hospital bed. The one in my neck felt the weirdest coming out.

I had a hip replacement and the only warning I got when removing the drain was "hit the button." The button being my time restricted morphine feed...
