Me too

Guess who colonized whom...

I understand empathy when it comes to harmless remedies like homeopathy and rescue remedy, that kind of thing, but when it gets to not getting your kids vaccinated because you think they're poison or taking homemade colloidal silver instead of your prescribed antibiotics, that's where I have trouble empathising.

My rule is that as long as something isn't replacing some other medical treatment recommended by their doctor (assuming they even saw a doctor), then I don't mind. My dad has gotten into grounding pillows, which don't have good evidence behind them that they work, but he finds he gets better sleep. Could be placebo, I don't care! If it works for him, that's great. But if it's replacing a treatment recommended by a doctor or something then I would have an issue.

I think I'm more worked up about this kind of thing than most people because I have familial connections to conspiracy theories 😂 but I guess that's one or many steps beyond pseudoscience, which is what the article is talking about

I'm not American, and it took me a while to figure out what POTUS, SCOTUS, and GOP were

This is why we now call it the Climate Crisis

(great tit a type of bird)

Fucking sucks for immunocompromised people as well I'm sure

Needless and needle-less 🥁

It's not a field worth getting into. AI will soon make you redundant

I agree that's a great acronym

What does MAP stand for in this context?

EDIT: oh, I read another thread and it stands for "Minor Attracted Person" so it's a pedophilia thing. Yikes

The final scene of Mirror's Edge with that song makes me emotional every time

My favourite one, which isn't on there, is CULTIC. Awesome story and art, gameplay that switched up often enough to stay fresh, cool setpieces, crunchy headshots.

I tried playing DUSK again recently with the HD update and it just felt dull and outdated compared to CULTIC. I still love DUSK tho

I thought we already had Bible 2 (new testament). Where's Bible 3: Retribution??

I always read that as "Shaking My Head"

My work involves a streaming service and we use VOD to refer to normal TV shows. It's not dead!

Is there a way to say OPQRST that isn't just reading each letter? Because if not then that is a mouthful

What does WOMBAT stand for?

I do the same thing. My brain kept misinterpreting ACAB for a while and usually slotted in "cat" for some reason until I figured out what it meant
