@clif_high After I read that years ago, I started adding 1/8 tsp Borax to the powder supplement blend I use to make protein shakes. Who knows if that's why I don't have joint problems (knock wood) but I'm not young and my joints don't hurt.
I wasn't "assigned" anything. I AM and my physical body and chromosomes prove that. Sex is physical reality. I never said that there isn't such a thing such as gender dysphoria. There is - and it is exactly that - DYSPHORIA. It is a delusion that requires mental help. It is NOT physical reality. A paramedic is there to help you with your PHYSICAL health, not your mental health. He or she can't do that if he or she denies your sex. If you can't understand that you're a brainwashed idiot.
@LeahShaper@harryfisherEMTP You decide it is a delusion. Because you do feel like what you were assigned at birth. You cannot fathom the feeling of it not matching up, Because for you it does not exist. That doesn't mean it doesn't really exist for someone else.
As a paramedic I will not pretend to see spiders when a patient is hallucinating about spiders. I will also not pretend you are a different gender than what you actually are.
It is ethically and morally wrong to play into someone’s psychosis.
Thats just fact.
It’s also wrong to put anyone who has mental problems in positions of authority. Anyone who believes men can be women should be removed from those positions immediately. For everyone’s safety.
God bless
@harryfisherEMTP "As a paramedic, I will not believe you if you say you are in pain, because I don't feel that pain myself and I decided for myself that you feeling that pain is a psychosis"- that's a far better equivalent and you do hopefully realize how stupid this sounds.
Now that Democrats and panican podcasters look like complete fools after spending the last 12 hours feverishly counting down to the nuclear annihilation they invented in their own heads, they’re moving straight into the next 24-hour cycle of pretending they already know the terms of a peace deal that is still being negotiated.
The fact that you don't follow through on a threat doesn't make it morally acceptable that you issued the threat in the first place.
We don't accept that moral logic in other scenarios.
Is it fine for someone in a dispute to threaten to rape your wife, as long as they don't actually do it and you eventually come to an agreement?
Then it's OK and normal and actually just negotiating tactics? He was just playing 4-D chess, even?
I'm really not sure why threatening to exterminate an entire civilization is somehow different.
JUST IN - Iran's Supreme National Security Council releases 10-point proposal to end the war, proposing negotiations begin on Friday, April 10, in Islamabad.
"THANK YOU, THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP!!"
Iranians may be Trump's biggest supporters these days, in an ocean of panicians and far left/retard right mullah sympathisers.
We know he stands on the right side of history.
This is WILD!! An 11-minute time-lapse video showing TENS OF THOUSANDS of Iranians gathering in Washington, DC.
"THANK YOU, TRUMP & NETANYAHU!"

"The idea that some diabetics are told to take metformin or insulin and ignore diet recommendations is nonsense"??? What planet are you living on??? Every diabetic I've ever known is drinking Big Gulp sodas regularly and depending entirely on their insulin! If diabetics are being given nutritional counseling it's terrible advice. Furthermore, I see ZERO evidence that the current medical establishment counsels ANY patient on nutrition for ANY condition - rather the solution is always a pharmaceutical. Personally, I do this all on my own, and while I like my primary care doctor because she supports me and trusts that I do my research and know what I'm talking about, she has nothing to offer me in the nutrition department because it ISN'T TAUGHT in the current system. The only doctors I've ever encountered that have ANY interest in nutrition and root causes are my functional medicine midwife and naturopaths.
This post ignores the fact that many diabetics need more than a change in diet to slow progression of their disease.
The idea that some diabetics are told to take metformin or insulin and ignore diet recommendations is nonsense.
I hope some diabetologists read this post and reply to it. It's harmful to assume expertise where there is none.
1797. John Rollo, Scottish army surgeon, treats two diabetic officers.
He does not have insulin. He does not have metformin. He does not have a continuous glucose monitor or an NHS diabetes care pathway or a referral system.
He has the observation that diabetic urine smells sweet, and the logical inference that the sweetness has to be coming from somewhere in the diet.
He removes the somewhere.
The diet he prescribes: meat. Fat. The occasional vegetable. Nothing sweet. Nothing starchy. Not "reduced amounts." None.
Both officers improve.
Rollo publishes the results. They are read. They inform practice for the next century.
In 1923 insulin arrives and the dietary treatment is quietly set aside, not because it stopped working but because there is now a product and the product is more manageable from a healthcare infrastructure standpoint than a permanent dietary change.
In 2026, a doctor who recommends what Rollo recommended in 1797 on the basis of what the evidence shows will likely face a challenge from the dietitian in the next room.
The dietitian means well. The dietitian has been trained in guidelines that postdate Rollo by two centuries and contain worse advice.
This is progress.
What is the point of insurance, even?
My glasses broke last week- it’s been almost two years since I had an eye exam, so I scheduled an appointment for this afternoon.
I went through the whole process, only to find at the end that the exam itself was $45, and the ugly glasses, with no glare reduction, coatings of any type at all, single vision, etc…. Are $321.
I literally just paid the exam copay, and left. So I just paid for a service I can’t even utilize, when I am having trouble putting groceries on the table.
Note: I am coke bottle glasses near-sided. I cannot drive, cook, etc, without my glasses.
Like- why isn’t this covered by my insurance? This is worse than the fact that dental care isn’t covered.
This is what I mean when I say I am tired of living this way.
What is the point of this?

Other ways in which this project was a failure:
1. These were not native wolves, they were Canadian wolves.
2. It failed to consider that animals don't care about state lines. Just a couple months ago the Taos, NM Sheriff saw one of these wolves. NM certainly didn't vote for the this.
3. Canadian wolves are much bigger than the native Mexican wolves that live in NM. They threaten the native species via the likelihood that they'd either wipe them out or pollute their genetics. You can't "reintroduce" a non-native species and not expect problematic results. Way to go, "environmentalists."
4. Some of the introduced wolves were from packs known to be aggressive.
5. Failure to provide a legal mechanism of self-defense for farmers and ranchers. I have a homestead in Archuleta County and I fear what happens to my animals if they show up on my property, and I know they've been in this county.
Wildly stupid, all around.
Can everyone admit the "wolf reintroduction plan" is a failure?
14 out of the 25 wolves have died.
Costs have exceeded expectations.
Farmers have lost millions of dollars worth of livestock.
From the article: "A Colorado Parks and Wildlife official told a joint meeting of the House and Senate agriculture committees in January that the division received more than $1 million in claims for the 2025 year.
"The agency’s database shows 32 depredation events in 2025, with more than three dozen dead cows, calves, lambs and ewes, yearling heifers and dogs. Those kills happened in Jackson, Routt, Gunnison, Pitkin, Grand, Eagle, Rio Blanco and Montrose counties."
