  • Placebo is a powerful misunderstood effect!

    For these products they LITERALLY have to have no effect on the body to be sold over the counter. Any meaningful absorption through the skin into the body means they will be regulated and sold behind the counter, usually with prescription.

    If they do more than moisturise, dry, clean, or add a scent they’re regulated.










  • That’s a conservative thought. The main feature of conservatism is a social hierarchy where the law is meant to bind and punish those at the bottom.

    Even though conservative ideology is poison which should be eliminated through education and a clamp down on “opinion” news networks like Fox, and conservative leaders have committed endless crimes they should be punished for them. However the average conservative voter is no different than you and I except for the fact they’re massive scared gullible little idiots and that’s not a crime.

    The second we start to group people and decide to treat different groups differently then we’re succumbing to conservatism ourselves.


  • Songs are made from repeating patterns of beats and melody. The time signature tells you what that pattern looks like. If you just memorise all the notes I suppose it matters less. But if you wanted to improvise like with a guitar solo or whatever that’s the rhythm you can use to improvise with.

    It’s the rhythm equivalent of the key/chord progression for the melody. If you know the chord and when/how it changes through a song, and you know the basic rhythm building block you can just make up notes that are guaranteed to sound great with the other instruments playing.


  • That’s some good fucking journalism right there. What a piece of shit DA blatantly lying about the transcript.

    The transcript said "Jane Doe added, according to the transcript, “And then, of course, I was being hit at the same time. Physically hit very, very hard.”

    But then the fucking DA’s “legal analysis” says:

    The facts provided by Jane Doe’s statement do not allege that any person used physical force to compel Jane Doe to engage in sexual conduct.

    I had suspected that the DA was as ass when they said “I have asked a senior prosecutor from my office to prepare the case for Grand Jury presentation”

    Grand jury deliberations are secret and there is no legal requirement to provide any or all evidence to the grand jury. Neither the victim nor the accused get to present evidence or have lawyers review or present anything. They can also arbitrarily select the members from a random draw. This is probably one of those DA throwing the case and shrugging “we did our best” the grand jury wouldn’t indite.

    I’ll amend my initial link to add this article.

    Bring critical IS aggressive. You’re neither providing constructive criticism nor did they request criticism. So you’re just kind of being an asshole. Was op behaving in the best way? No. There clearly very disregulated, dealing with something complicated but aware they’re making bad choices.

    Nobody needs to have their lives picked apart by strangers who probably have at least as many problems we can’t see because they’re not being vulnerable about them.





  • I mean you’re 100% right. Downvoters are just haters. This comic isn’t about the husband making her a social pariah through competence, it’s that she’s bad at socializing and reading the room.

    Mostly the women complaining are just looking at having their feelings validated, you don’t need to share your own story to do that. If you’re asked to share a story you pick one that fits the theme. That’s just basic socializing.

    I mean it’s also just a comic. Like it’s supposed to be a joke so it’s going to take liberties, but this conversation about it is weird lol.
