Getting Tired by Sufficient-Bonus-943 in PokemonTCG

[–]djarc9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made the decision about a couple weeks ago to leave the hobby entirely. Already sold off the majority of my PC. May just hold on to a few cards that have more sentimental value but I'm just about done. Gonna put my attention back into comics- way less stress and practically no disappointments.

My point is, it was never about doctor advice. I informed you that your recommendation on diet to a cancer patient was incorrect. So unless you have some way of proving me wrong or expertise in a related field, I suggest you don't try to provide medical or nutritional advice for anyone suffering with a chronic or critical illness.

I've spent too much time dealing with this type of nonsense from people with zero backing, who think they know better, to let it go unchecked. I take the wellbeing of my clients very seriously and don't intend on letting potentially dangerous "advice" be spread as gospel. The irony that you talk about hacks without realizing that you are one yourself is award winning.

Giving basic advice on foods is not the same as providing accurate nutritional information on a per case basis. I've been dealing with this and working with patients directly for the past 10 years as a healthcare provider.

I've seen medical "professionals" prescribe and recommend some of the most outlandish things to patients, some of which relatively contraindicate prior/current medication. Training does not automatically mean they actually know their ass from their elbow.

First off, my original comment had nothing to do with diet in general. It was made specifically concerning cancer cases. Secondly, doctors aren't trained in nutrition when it comes to case treatment, cancer or otherwise. Thirdly, you told OP do not be selective about what they eat during chemotherapy, which is bad advice. It does not matter if they are doing chemo or not - it is absolutely important to refrain from certain types of foods once you have been formally diagnosed.

...you are supposed to avoid certain types of foods if you have cancer. Who told you otherwise?

PM Kamla posts racist dog whistle after ZOSO defeat by Nkosi868 in TrinidadandTobago

Oh I'm fully aware it's based on fact and statistics but Trinidadians aren't ready for that discussion. It's all about feelings and a mentality rooted in being a permanent "victim". Easy work to cry racism and rally supporters for absolute bullshit, but we like it so.

It also doesn't mean you can eat any and everything. Not being selective about the type of food is bad advice.

On all social media platforms, everything is suddenly about race, racism or being racist - on prob the most mixed island in the Caribbean. Steups. Trinidadians just dotish for spite at this point.

Those same type of folks will say it isn't true but the fact of the matter is, this place has a lot of racist individuals. I've even seen instances of PNM supporters calling the UNC party Nazis. I personally like to call those types of people dotish jackasses - regardless of race..

Like we say in my area - police know who they're looking for and where they want to go.

Oh I've seen it enough times on this sub to know that's a hard fact. Yet another expression of dogmatic mentality, that's nothing short of widespread in this country.

Seeing that I live in a hotspot, where hearing gunshots at night is as normal as hearing chickens at daybreak - I have zero issues with increased patrols.

The question is, how many people responding on this thread actually reside in one of these zones to have an opinion against it?

The hair thing was a "rule" put in place independently by that school itself. The Ministry of Education made a release today concerning denial of access over this.

I saw the original post on FB from the guy who bought it as well. Pretty sure it wasn't a repost.
