Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

As I have frequently said, despite being a part of this community, I often feel like I have no place to discuss D&D and other games I like in a way that I like or feels productive.

Getting really close to what you want is usually achieved by narrowing down to a dozen people in your home (or other curated space), not hundreds on the open internet.

Solution: Block/Ignore everyone who disrupts your peace, and you can have a conversation with the few sane people left.

Keeping an eye out for these in my local store.

The irony...

Community.- As part of our demands to solve issue x, we demand you make a statement about unrelated issue y.

They do the statement.

Community.- How dare you wasting time making statements about issue y? This is why you haven't solved issue x yet!!

It doesn't help that there's a number of high profile fitness influencers who are doctors of chiropractic making outlandish claims about things that have nothing to do with chiropractic at all.

For several years, there was a chiropractor a few miles from my home that had window signage claiming to treat all kinds of things, including infectious diseases and cancer.

OTOH, for 20+ years, we used a vet who was also a main lecturer at a local chiropractic school. He didn’t use chiropractic in place of meds for pets, nor did he advocate anything differently for humans.

And some of us, the wisest, most noble, and good looking, just know quality when we see it.

I'm sorry, its a gift.

In Canada, Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine is an actual medical degree requiring 3 years undergrad, followed by 4 years in a certified Doctor of Chiropractic programme. We had a chiropractor at the track. Nice guy, who helped a lot of injured folk. I think he either got bored of it or the income wasn't good enough, because for no outward reason he became a paramedic some years ago. Judging by his house, it pays well.

The requirements in the U.S. are the same, but it is not considered a medical degree. It's its own thing (DC). It can still be rigorous - I have a friend who went to a top notch school for it, and remember the amount of work he put in.

I can't speak for Canada but in the US iirc the ratio of debt it takes to graduate and income does not work out in their favor, even more so than the default.
