The thing is, placebos can actually be pretty effective. Hell, they’re effective even if you know they’re a placebo. And the more elaborate and similar to what you think would be involved in curing you, the more effective. So people going to chiropractors might actually be getting real results even if the things they’re doing are junk.
You’re the one who set that as the bar.
The idea behind this community should be that you think “wait, really? Is that serious or satire?”
I don’t think anyone at this point would even do a double take to check “is this from a satire news source?” if they happened to see it shared in a context that makes the source not immediately known (e.g. on lemmy). At this point, The Onion headlines involving Trump tend to veer into total ridiculousness (Trump killing Cohen with a pen, bribing people with pb&j, etc). The only way you can do subtlety involving him is things that are totally out of character, like anything with self awareness or acknowledgement of rigging things in his favor.
Did you really wonder if the first was satire? It is 0% surprising when Trump accuses others of what he does.
The list of exemptions is a mile long at this point: https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-29/subtitle-B/chapter-V/subchapter-A/part-541?toc=1
Basically if you’re an office worker who makes more than than 34k/year, you’re probably exempt.
Periods going away or getting lighter is a side affect of hormonal IUDs. Copper IUDs have no mechanism to make them go away, and seem to pretty commonly make cramps and bleeding worse. .
Sounds plausible. The main thing peds worry about for toddlers primarily subsisting off milk is iron deficiency. Potatoes have iron and vitamin c.
If he was hospitalized for the influenza, getting MRSA while there isn’t all that surprising.
On my phone if I hold down on the suggested word in the keyboard area, I can delete it from “learned words.” This is only really helpful if it’s a typo that isn’t also a real word.
“Puppy on the way home from being trained to hunt birds, kills birds.”
Canadians as a dogwhistle for what, dare I ask? Or was that part of what you refused to ask?
In California, that actually sounds extremely useful.
I was so curious how boolean logic was about to play into things haha
This comic is from 1993. So before everyone had cell phones and you were actually calling places instead of people. Probably actually manually dialing all the numbers, too. So you’d dial number, hope you did it right, and you didn’t actually know who would pick up if multiple people were at the place you called.
I think this is why I was taught the polite way to answer the phone was: “Hello. Smith residence, John speaking. May I ask who’s calling?” Besides, most of the time, the person on the other end was someone somebody there actually knew. It wasn’t a goal to try to keep information away from the caller.
The joke is on the phrase “talked with God.” It’s kind of a common phrase and usually used in a metaphorical/spiritual way rather than actually speaking to him. It’s not that deep of a joke. Far side usually isn’t.
At&t lost a bunch of people’s SSNs
Why do they even have SSNs to lose?
To check for terrorism
(Also/but) that doesn’t mean they need to store it.
Be honest. Which word actually makes sense?
“Also” doesn’t make sense in context.
I think this miscommunication is more on you for taking it as an attack towards yourself when it was pretty clearly suspicious towards at&t, not you. In the future, I suggest trying to read things as charitably as possible. It will make forums a much more pleasant place if you don’t immediately assume aggression based on pretty innocuous words.
You know what the plan to store a lot of nuclear waste in America is? Bury it in west nowhere, Texas.
I think it might just be a line of how they used the random object could have reasonably resulted in death. So if you smack someone in the face with a fluffy pillow, it’s not a deadly weapon. If you try to smother them with it, it is.
But if he wasn’t capable of saving himself?
A permit is a learner’s license, and it looks like you can get them starting at 15 in Oregon, which is the case in most states.
Most consumers don’t buy their own routers. The only time I’ve helped people buy routers in the last decade is to get one you could install a vpn on. Looking at the wireless standards never crossed our minds.
