But Clarence Thomas accepted gifts from people who then argued in front of the Supreme Court without recusing himself without facing any consequences, so is there anything to stop it?

I’m sorry, my last knowledge update does not address this area. If you’re looking for specific medical advice, please consult a doctor.

The Guardian reported in 22 on what came out of the investigation.

I would love for this to be false and one nutso nurse, please send me something credible suggesting it’s wrong, if you can. It’s fucking sickening to imagine it’s true, so I’m very happy to change my mind if there’s evidence supporting it.

Right, I agree with you about that, but believe you’re using too broad a brush here, I don’t know if that was clear.

There’s a huge difference between ineffective herbal mixtures that are being predatorily advertised to people with chronic illnesses and this, imo. This is more akin to your dentist telling you to rinse with homemade saline solution if you can’t afford mouthwash- it’s a scientifically well established disinfectant, just made at home.

I think it’s wonderful that Brazil’s researching folk cures, too often they’re unresearched by the academic community, even though they’ve been in some cases (not all) used effectively for centuries. I appreciate you wanting to wait until there’s been rigorous academic testing, and I do think that’s the right thing to do, if it’s something that you can do. If you’re in a situation where you don’t have that option, it’s not as easy, in my opinion. Especially because there’s a huge backlog of traditional remedies to test, and not all governments are so open to testing them at all.

Willow bark was generally used for headaches and body aches, similarly to how it is today. The same could be said for tons of other medications. It’s perfectly fine to choose not to use them, but a home remedy is not inherently unscientific or dangerous.

Aspirin comes from willow bark, which we used to drink in tea. Home remedies aren’t necessarily opposed to science, they’re often a part of it.

Your s/o doesn’t sound like a fit to take care of you right now, can you stay elsewhere?

Jesus Christ, 2013 is too late for that.

The US removed organs from people held in immigration detention centers. I would urge you to look at what your own country is doing in comparison to the worst of what you hear about other countries.

That’s needlessly stressful for prisoners. There are societal roles it would apply better to

our strategic interests and the imperative need to maintain the Western order that has allowed us and our allies to flourish

That’s where you lost me. A lot of awful things have allowed us to flourish, but the ends don’t justify the means.

The gay agenda

I think about cultures that have a focus on same sex sexual contact- most people, if they had been born there would probably participate. If they’re born somewhere where it’s forbidden, most people don’t engage in it.

Some people are hardwired about it in either direction, but the majority are more flexible

I associate his movies with a different kind of human juice

I’m so excited that you get to learn about vermin supreme

It sounds like they’re talking exclusively from the front of the mouth. I used to talk like that when I was trying to conceal a tongue ring. I wonder why that is?

Linguistics nerd stuff below: American English is spoken from the front of the mouth compared to lots of other languages (not this far forward, but still). I wonder if AI voices speaking Arabic would move Arabic forward by the same amount, all the way to the front, or further back (no human anatomy restrictions on AI voices).

Basically, I wonder if this is a consistent artifact of AI voices or whether AI is just exaggerating unique features of a language.

Edit: I found this, which sounds natural enough that I wouldn’t have thought anything of it (aside from the cuts and the actual things said), had I not been watching out for front of the mouth talk

I am fooled by imageai posts about 80% of the time. I don’t know how to not be, but it just makes me distrustful of everything

You see it in discussions about the situation as well. People want to negotiate the Palestinians/ Palestinian supporters down, even if they agree with them, because everyone knows Israel isn’t going to budge. A ceasefire is completely out of the question, obviously

That community doesn’t have any posts, what map is it?
