We should treat people who say "Iran did 10-7" the way they did us for saying "Israel did 9-11"
@Deplorable_Degenerate @Sovereign @TrevorGoodchild Trump did 10/7 by fucking up the entire diplomatic balance of the region. I'm gay btw.
> I'm gay btw
Yeah, we can tell
Yeah, we can tell
4/5 fag flags was a bit much
@TrevorGoodchild @Deplorable_Degenerate @Sovereign @KekistaniWanderer Which White country of the 5 do you not hate?
@technolyze @Deplorable_Degenerate @KekistaniWanderer @Sovereign @TrevorGoodchild I love England I should add it.
@AngelCelt @Deplorable_Degenerate @KekistaniWanderer @Sovereign @TrevorGoodchild oi have me an English breakfast
We doing British food horrors now?
where’s that video that flashes the words “famine” and ”pestilence” over pictures of British foods? 😆
If I wasn't sick I could go for beans and chips rn
I could always eat fish n chips. It’s my go to Friday meal when not eating at home. But still the memes are worth laughing at
Im game for haggis, Scotland redeems the Britcuck cringe as usual
I would probably like a haggis
But Haggis is like the horror movie version of food tho?
I actually really like haggis, but liver and onions was a staple meal when we could afford liver at our house as a child. It’s just poor people food with the marginal bits (that’s not a criticism) 🤷🏼♀️
@katereads @Deplorable_Degenerate @Sovereign @BowsacNoodle @Escoffier @KekistaniWanderer @TrevorGoodchild @eee @AngelCelt is liver and onions really that cheap? I like liver and onions myself
Organ meats are usually the second cheapest meat you can get behind ground trimmings.
Organ meat has the most micronutrients though. Liver supposedly has testosterone precursors in it
It does. We should be eating it on occasion. Not too often that's how you get gout
Im super skeptical on the gout claims. I think processed carbs are a much likelier cause than rich meats.
I'd have gout all the time then because I am a starch boy.
Allegedly the organ meat raises your uric acid levels.

I did a pretty deep dive on that question and what I found was they just blamed everything kings ate. Because back in the day pretty much only royalty got gout.
Jared Leto needed to gain a bunch of weight for a role so he gorged himself on carbs and got gout. When he cut out the carbs the gout went away.

Yeah, part of why I thought it held water is medieval medical texts discuss that. Given how long the assumption had been around it seemed solid.
You'd be amazed when you dig deep how often theyre just wild ass guesses.
You got ghosts in your blood your Majesty! You should smoke opium about it!
Now that's medicine I can get behind
Dude I've been slowly reading through the last 100 years of medicine and its insane how much of medicine before the 80s was just "Take these narcotics and if that doesn't work we've got no idea". They were giving people laudanum and hoping for the best
"The art of medicine consists in amusing the patient while nature cures the disease."
IDK where this comes from but it's old: "With allopathy (modern medicine) the patient dies from the cure, with homeopathy he dies from the disease"
I joke but the issue with modern medicine is that the massive groundbreaking humane advancements (antibiotics, safe general anesthesia making all types of surgery possible, MRI/CT/angiography revolutionizing radiology, typed and crossmatched blood transfusions) are always overshadowed by infinite quackery
It’s important to do research on your own. Doctors are also people and half ass things at their job.

Most doctors are basically ChatGPT but worse.
The whole field has been proceduralized to the point that you're not actually supposed to bring any unique knowledge, just match description to what's written in books. That's something which an AI is insanely good at.

I put a lot of blame on insurance companies for this. Infectious disease specialists have to regularly fight to get non-standard treatments done. I’ve heard stories where doctors will have to say to insurance companies reps stuff like this:
>So this js a recorded line, right? Okay good. Since you’re denying the life saving care that my patient needs, I just want to hear you say that you are the one making the medical decisions and functionally practicing medicine, so that when the wrongful death lawsuit hits it comes to you. Oh really? You won’t say that? You won’t practice medicine without a license? Okay, let’s talk to your boss then!”
on and on for two hours until they finally get approval. It’s insane.

Well that's part of it too, you can't wave the right to sue a doctor - and in a lot of cases, suing them is basically just second-guessing their decision.
So doctors can't make any decision that doesn't have the support of The Scientific Community, and they always have to recommend more tests, more specialists and more drugs at all times.
If they say "you're fine" and then you die, your family is gonna take their house - but if they say "oh you really need this pill" and you take it and die, then as long as their diagnosis was at least plausible, it's on the drug company, and suing the drug company is lolimpossible so the doctor is protected.
