In Switzerland we don’t even have Amazon. We can order from one of the neighbourhing countries’ Amazon, but they don’t always ship here. There are a lot of alternatives though.
You’re just presenting nuanced conclusions as overwhelming truths to put weight on your opinion, while taking a few shortcuts. You’re entitled to your opinion of course, but that doesn’t mean you get to dismiss any contradicting ones by deciding unilaterally what the words mean.
Chiropractice in the US might be just “cracking joints”, but it’s not true everywhere. If you can’t accept that, then I don’t know what to tell you.
That’s not what you said, you don’t get to lecture me by pretending you said something else.
Anything illegal deserves more yuck than I can count, but expressing your personal taste towards things that are legal and socially accepted (while frown upon) by dismissing a behaviour that you personslly disagree with is… dismissive.
I understand where you’re coming from, but you’re expressing your taste and values in a very dismissive way
Psychoanalysis was invented almost at the same time in Vienna and a lot of freudian concepts have since been critiqued due to his biases. Does it mean Austria forever owns psychoanalysis and anything that could be discovered since? There is a difference between a field of research, a scientific discipline and a paradigm. Debunking a theory that was invented more than a century ago doesn’t disqualify every research done after that. Also, paradigm change often comes from opposing theories from the same field they oppose. If we did like that, there wouldn’t be a lot of research field left standing.
You accept yourself that osteopathy was able to go beyond its suspicious origin, but refuse to imagine that chiropractice could do the same. Which is why I reiterate: chiropractice requiring no medical training is a north american thing.
in the us, again, it doesn’t happen like that in a lot of countries.
That’s just not true, regulations imply healthcare reimbursement, which implies strict control on the treatment and the practicians, because insurance companies hate paying.
…from a north american perspective.
Those definitions are just not true in a lot of countries outside of the us.
This is a very north american opinion, which also happens to be very condescending in tone, while op explicitly dismiss commenters who disagree with them. The practices designated by the various terms, such as chiropractors, osteopath, physical therapists, etc. vary depending on the countries and contexts, especially in some european countries where chiropractors must answer to the same standards and regulations as the other medical professions. This should be taken into account.
Isn’t it because alot of US aid actually goes to arm’s producers in the US who then send weapons to Ukraine, so if Ukraine produced those weapons themselves, this money would go towards ukrainian salaries too?
you’re an idiot, you’re not exchanging anything, you’re confusing agressivity with wit
At least instant coffee makes sense in an economical way: it saves steps and time. what i don’t get are filter coffee machines, the coffee they make is always horrendous.
It is in place because using entirely renewable power means changes have to be made to the country’s electricity grid.
You assumed op were young because that allowed you to display your wisdom, while answering a question they didn’t ask. when someone pointed that out and someone else said that ordering online had advantages because you could find things you otherwise wouldn’t, you got defensive.
you’re mostly being judgy on the internet towards strangers, so there’s that
also, I don’t know where you live (nor do you know where op lives by the way), but as an example I asked the other day in one of the only electronics shop in my town, if they had Thunderbolt 3 cables and they just answered “no”. I have a ton of examples like that: video projectors, canon proprietary cards for their cameras, printer ink for my printer, a case for my phone, a new piece for my turntable, a new battery for my bluetooth speaker, etc.
as a Swiss, it is an issue. our glaciers are metling more and more every year and we rely on hydropower a lot, we need all the rain and water we can get, even if it seems like there is a lot.
you seem confused
It made me think of this video from the rooster teeth podcast, where burnie tells a joke his dad used to tell (and this is the animated version).
It’s funny I litterally just finished an episode of Search Engine, the ‘new’ PJ Vogt podcast, where that’s the actual question. It was the May 3rd episode, and they’re interviewing a researcher on the topic, etc.
