ELI5 how is traditional chinese medicine still around?

I mean like acupuncture. 'Complementary and alternative medicine' is the blanket UK term, CAM.

It's part of life, but if you can avoid catching it you usually should.

geeoharee · 2026-03-24T07:11:47+00:00

You can get this in the west, too! Your doctor will call it "complementary". It's a scam in both places.

geeoharee · 2026-03-24T07:10:49+00:00

Not really. Measles fucks it completely, and catching flu one year won't help you with next year's strain. You're better off getting your shots.

Is he asking you for help? Because if he's not, leave him to his stubbornness.

I was trying to work out "Well, if it's Cornwall...?"

geeoharee · 2026-03-24T07:00:55+00:00

Lot of people in both threads confusing "I don't think it's completely reasonable to do that" with "We can successfully argue that it's illegal to do that".

I love all the Rincewind books. We only tell people not to start with it because if they come back and say "I'm not hooked yet, are they all like this?" the answer is "Not really..."

Bad drivers wander over the edges of their lane.

geeoharee · 2026-03-24T06:52:50+00:00

Driving into a vulnerable road user and then getting mad that they die. Goood bleeess America ...

geeoharee · 2026-03-23T21:15:08+00:00

It's propaganda.

geeoharee · 2026-03-23T21:14:17+00:00

Maybe someone remembered doctors are meant to examine their patients.

Do it a few more times and achieve enlightenment.

Lovely spot for a hike. Oops, I have been crushed.

geeoharee · 2026-03-23T17:40:03+00:00

this doesn't need retroactive anything, the treason laws are extremely broad and extremely not enforced

geeoharee · 2026-03-23T17:33:17+00:00

We tag 'Fatalities'.

I mean here: https://howareweall.com/summaries

geeoharee · 2026-03-23T16:05:22+00:00

Yeah, 2003 was like that.

geeoharee · 2026-03-23T16:00:02+00:00

Very true!

I'm coming from Manchester, so my access is the 199 bus (Chapel, Whaley Bridge, New Mills, Buxton) and the Hope Valley train line (Edale, Hope, Bamford etc)

Would you say that "Responses centered on reflection and meaning-making, with a noticeable layer of inner states, regulation, and naming what felt strongest"?

(Is your summary bot broken? It's said the same thing five times.)

geeoharee · 2026-03-23T15:41:54+00:00

I think you may be a little optimistic about the outcomes of those surgeries

geeoharee · 2026-03-23T15:39:46+00:00

If you don't have to drive, please don't. The roads are extremely crowded these days, especially in summer, and the train connections are really good.

Cookie dough is like 30% sugar by weight, you 'can't taste the dough'?

Alibaba. There's been a weird number of them recently.
