My landlady once recommended a homeopathic remedy to me but I chose to believe she'd just muddled her words and had meant to say herbal not homeopathic.
Then later she told me about when her friend used aromatherapy to treat a puppy dying from a snake bite and I thought, welp.

It also confuses the matter when people then user the term 'homeopathy' for any herbal,etc treatments. My husband cringes each time he buys 'homeopathic' zinc lozenges that actually have a decent amount of zinc in it. They just use the term to appeal to a certain customer.
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

I once had a coworker tell me that they'd taken their dog to a veterinary acupuncturist, and I literally walked away without responding because I knew I wouldn't be able to manage my tone.
I mean, fuck, they wouldn't even get a placebo effect because they don't understand that it's supposed to help them. They're just getting jabbed with needles and have no idea why.

wifi radiation nutbars... well, that's a new one for me.
I cut open my thumb, but deep on x-mas. I'll never take you for granted again, thumb. get well soon, lil guy.
I had a customer back when I sold computers that got really bad headaches whenever she used the computer since a car accident and she was convinced it was wifi/electromagnetic radiation. She wanted to buy an iMac because they seemed to bother her less. While I was showing her pricing for the various models on Apple's website on the display computer she actually took the mouse from me and disabled wifi.
First, I can't show you this without the internet. Second, the signal from the router (not to mention every other computer, phone, and cell tower is still there, whether or not this particular computer is listening to them.
I'm pretty sure her headaches were actually caused by the computers, but the display/refresh rate, as she said that fluorescent lighting triggered them as well, but she wasn't willing to entertain that theory.

Speaking of medicine, I guess Pepto Bismol sits pretty heavy in your stomach. I had eaten recently and had an upset stomach that wouldn't go away so I tried taking some Pepto. It was all of 5 minutes before I threw up.

Now look we all know homeopathy is bullshit, but let me tell you about these sports bandages that have been treated with

One cousin was taking colloidal silver until I pulled up pictures of people with argyria and showed them to her.

But guys, my bartender saw me sniffle and told me about this great remedy she had tried, this homeopathic thing (this was a selling point) that she took when she felt a cold coming on. And guys, she was better the NEXT DAY. That is..that is science guys. Guys...where are you going? (I ordered another beer and moved myself to a different part of the bar)
I made a turkey curry with all the leftover turkey. Ground my own spices and everything. I am expecting my tastebuds to trip balls.
Update: It's like there was a party in my mouth and only the hippest Sri Lankans were invited.

What's that joke, historically whenever alternative medicine works it's just called medicine?

I really don't see any point in arguing with someone wiling to buy into homoeopathy.
Not to suggest that reason and logic are beyond some people, but
well actually, that's actually what I'm suggesting.
If you believe that diluting something makes it stronger, you are clearly failing scientific thinking at an extremely basic level.
The idea that a small amount of something bad for you can have a perverse effect brought us the idea of vaccination and acclimatization.
It's just an idea that has long since been played out, and has people applying it in unscientific ways.
I think the root of homeopathic ideas has more to do with traditional notions of sympathetic magic and "forces" being linked. People often noticed the effect of acclimatisation and becoming immune or resistant through moderated exposure, but I don't think that's where homeopathic ideas necessarily come from. But they may have coexisted and borrowed from one another in an explanatory sense. I'm honestly kind of interested in the subject now tho

I have never not thrown up from taking pepto
I have. It's not a panacea, but it can help me with some stomach issues.

My sister in law took her dachshund to an acupuncturist for back trouble. I guess it really helped? I dunno.

Yeah The only... not consolation, but... it was a stray in Senegal and vets weren't exactly a thing around there, so it would have died either way. I guess at least it died somewhere warm and comfortable and... nice smelling.
I have zero faith in acupuncture, and even less so when it comes to veterinarians. I can only think of a guy blindly poking someone or some animal with needles and saying they are cured.
I can see how placebo, adrenaline and a new pain to distract from the old pain can be helpful but I'd rather pop a pill thanks.

I need a second opinion on this (the first opinion is mine).
I kind of want to buy a pair of non-firing Single Action Army replicas, but I am unsure what the legal status of such a thing would be.
Here.
In NYC.
Is it for some sort of costume?
You might be able to find a pair of matching toy revolvers on Amazon and then trick them out a little. If you want to do something like flips and tricks like Revolver Ocelot, you would need something with realistic weight and balance and that's going to cost a pretty penny. The closest thing I can think of is an airsoft replica.
A quick Google search shows at least five online retailers, none of them expensive for trick-training but much more costly than it's worth for a one-off costume.

They hit with their legs. They grapple with their arms, stand on their tails, and kick you with their hind legs.
Also capable of disembowelling you.

Hmmm, yes, Sergeant John 'Jesus-Freedom-Eagle' Rambo ....
Well when you bang it the memory of what it was before you diluted it will make it work.
Magical Thinking is a thing to make a person wonder.

Lots of people don't know what homeopathy is and use the term to mean all "natural" medicine.
So if you tell average Joe homeopathy is water they look at you funny because you are speaking to something they don't mean.
but they're listening to every word I say
How much

99% of Natural medicine is also bullshit so I'm not too worried.

I bet they gave the poor thing nerve damage to "relieve the pain".
I am so mad.
acupuncture can actually have some positive effects in regards to pain relief
it won't actually "fix" spinal issues though
