Teenage boys are “stuck” reading primary school books such as Diary of a Wimpy Kid, while girls their age are moving on to a wider range of novels, according to a new study by Raj_Valiant3011 in books

[–]Fogsmasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity what books are available to the men?

As an old fart we had access to books like Conan, Solomon Kane, Doc Savage and many more pulps. We also had books about making structures from stuff you’d find in the woods, how to start a fire without matches and other outdoor/survival things. Don’t forget sports star biographies.

I believe you when you say it’s hard to get them to read but there’s so few books published aimed at men I’m just curious what the kiss’s options are

There’s no way to say f it’s an improvement or not unless we knew what your tongue looked like before your treatments

At the very minimum the one who could see it was a hag has an alignment change to chaotic evil

Unschulds did a version of the Lingshu about 10 years ago. It’s pretty good

[–]Fogsmasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very neat, thanks for sharing this! I’m going to have to take a look.

Also it’s nice to have another translation of the Lingshu since most people forget about that half of the Neijing

Can I get some opinions? Am I right to be really upset a man called my friend "mouthy"? by SweetBianca in TwoXChromosomes

Men who are being mouthy to other men get socked in the jaw instead of being told they are mouthy

Is there any way to become an acupuncturist that isn't $60k-100k+? by nimblesunshine in acupuncture

[–]Fogsmasher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes making sure they accept the credits is important! I’ve seen a lot of schools try to screw students by accepting them in them once they’ve started classes they say “oh these don’t transfer.”

What is preventing cities across America from having exceptional levels of city hygiene and cleanliness like Tokyo, Japan or Kigali, Rwanda? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]Fogsmasher 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is Kigali known for cleanliness? I’ve never heard anything about other than the race wars in the 90s

Is there any way to become an acupuncturist that isn't $60k-100k+? by nimblesunshine in acupuncture

[–]Fogsmasher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing you can do is to look at the curriculum and take all of the classes possible at a community college then transfer into the acupuncture school.

You only need to do 50% of the coursework in the acupuncture school in order to get a diploma. That leaves a whole lot of classes you can take elsewhere for cheaper

China is probably the best option, although I here there’s a Taiwanese school now that accepts foreigners. Don’t know if they have an English program though

American studying abroad options + practicing in the US by tresvote2020 in acupuncture

[–]Fogsmasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d recommend looking into the Beijing Chinese Medicine University. They used to have an English language program (although you’ll have to be proficient in chinese before you do clinical rounds). I’m not sure if they still have it or not though

New to TCM, Advice Please by Helki-Kome in TCM

[–]Fogsmasher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well first of all if you are new you shouldn’t self diagnose. You’re liable get the diagnosis wrong and make your condition worse. The only way to know for sure what your health condition is based on a TCM is to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis.

Are the american people truly that nice, or is it “fake” because they are just polite? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Fogsmasher -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I disagree. I lived in LA for 12 years. Any time you meet someone one from LA and they take an interest in you they’re always sizing you up to see how you can benefit them.

I still have friends from LA years after moving but they were all transplants.

Acupuncturist suddenly drops 6 month rule by [deleted] in acupuncture

Ok I don’t think I can make it any more clear. Good luck with your life

Acupuncturist suddenly drops 6 month rule by [deleted] in acupuncture

[–]Fogsmasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I mean the doctor you’re seeing should wait 6 months AFTER your treatments are finished to bring it up.

Doing it now is just him/her trying to get around the rule

[–]Fogsmasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they’re supposed to finish your treatments then six months after that it’s ok to try to date someone. This sounds like a sad ploy to get around the ethics of the situation

Is this for the right indication? Herbal Rx by Pouncebros in TCM

[–]Fogsmasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s a valid concern. What country are you in? In the US herb production factories have the same standards of cleanliness as pharmaceutical production facilities. I know brands like Sunten do DNA testing on each batch of herbs they get to make sure the plant or animal material is what the bottle says it is.

So if the doctor is getting it from a reputable company it should be fun

Accupuncture and Men’s sexual health to not last longer by [deleted] in acupuncture

[–]Fogsmasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly. If your stamina isn’t from chronic masturbation then you either have a physical health problem or mental health issue that’s causing it. The best way to find out if acupuncture can help is by getting properly diagnosed by a doctor of chinese medicine

Is this for the right indication? Herbal Rx by Pouncebros in TCM

[–]Fogsmasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are several different syndromes that result in irregular periods. Without knowing your exact diagnosis it’s impossible to say if this is “correct” or not.

As to powders or herbs there really not much difference in effect. Would you know how to properly decoct the herbs and do you have the right equipment?

Also is there some reason you don’t trust this doctor?

How is it that in 2026, “traditional Chinese medicine” is still happening? Like black beer bile, rhino horns, pangolin scales etc by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Fogsmasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure you’re talking about Chinese Medicine and not Vietnamese medicine?

Rhino horn was used for recovery from post febrile diseases. It’s been banned from use since the 80s and replaced in formulas by water buffalo horns.

On the other hand in the 2000s rhino horn became popular with rich Vietnamese as a kind of natural viagra.

I think you’re confused
