I had absolutely no idea what occult quacks chiropractors were for an embarrassingly long time. I thought it was just another medical specialization, like dermatology. No one told me otherwise and it was only a few years ago that I learned that orthopedic specialists and neurologists practiced something very different than the quackery that still legally allowed to blend in as if it were an actual medical specialization, to make suckers like me fail to notice the difference at a glance. I'm glad I never went to see one before I knew better. :the-more-you-know:

      as a dumbass american, it's incredible to me to think that there are in fact cultures where vegetarianism is the norm, and not just a personal consumption choice that is regarded by everyone else as quirky at best and threatening at worst. like i still meet normal, progressive adults who believe that it's not possible for humans to get enough protein from a vegan diet.
