My Dad (an MD) and I have had numerous conversations about pharma ads over the decades. Neither of us is a fan. From his side, it leads to patients demanding treatments that wouldn’t really be their best (or even a good or effective) option. It creates an illusion of being an informed patient...

Schmoderator life ain’t for everyone.

Most of the biggest bovines (bison, cape buffalo) and deer (elk, moose) are scary mofos. Boars & warthogs are nothing to sneeze at either. https://m.youtube.com/shorts/4y_ZLmjryNE

Teslarantulas? Ohm Weavers?

The number of folks who get suckered in by quackery or simply making their own bad decisions is unfortunately large. There used to be a show on TV in which 2 plastic surgeons were correcting botched or ill-advised procedures.* Some of the clients were regular joes, some were celebrities. It...

Everyone has a story along these lines; not necessarily with real estate, though.

Mod Note: One of the big rules here is “Keep it civil.” This doesn’t meet that standard. Do better going forward.

Quoting an article about sodium bromide ingestion: Tangent: in the context of modern slang patterns, I’m both amused and slightly horrified that “bromism” is a legit medical term. No way someone might misunderstand…

Penguins like pebbles; they’re bribable. Walruses? IDK. Oatmeal?

Up until a couple years ago, there was at least one ENWorlder I knew of who was in that exact situation.

Mod Note: My fellow veteran ENWorlder, what makes you think that posting like this would be OK? It is both personal and uncivil. You clearly lost your cool before posting. Before you post in this thread again, step back; take a breath.

Tangent: while I enjoy the D&D ecosystem, HERO is my #1 RPG system. There’s no PC concept I’ve come up with I couldn’t model in it. Because of that, the system has become kind of a Rosetta Stone for me. I use it both to transport PC ideas across systems AND to create setting bible info on...

Mod Note: And yet, you’re in the mood to tell everyone you’re not in the mood.🤔 You’ve been on ENWorld long enough to know you should deescalate or disengage instead of provoke. In this thread, you keep getting reported. Not all were actionable, but it’s definitely a pattern. Which puts me...

Mod Note: Y’all, we’re stepping into a big ol’ pile of politics now. Before continuing, wipe it off, and go forward without it, please.
