Just to be clear, did she recommend that specific clinic? I’m not a fan of her past work but I think it’s a stretch to blame something like this directly on her.

The beauty and skincare industries have tons of claims flying around that are less-than-validated but going to a facility that uses basic precautions is probably still a good idea.

As an additional data point here, the American Academy of Dermatology Association still has a page up with more info about the procedure. It makes it clear that it’s unproven but it’s supposed to be your own blood that’s used for the procedure. It ends with a recommendation to talk to your dermatologist to decide if it’s right for you, much the same as any medical advice found online.

From their page:

"Few studies conducted in people

All these benefits have created high demand for a procedure that has little evidence to back it up.

Few studies have been conducted because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn’t require the large, complex studies necessary for new drugs. Since PRP uses needles and a centrifuge, the FDA classifies PRP as a medical device. The rules for medical devices are less demanding."

Splintered media environment means we don’t actually have a shared set of facts to discuss with people from the other side anymore. We can’t have normal conversations when we can’t agree on the basic facts on the ground.

Is making art with the rain an option?

Sand darkens when wet so that could make a cool canvas, theoretically.

You could also play with that “wall of rain” effect you sometimes see when you are just outside of a heavy rain area.

Alternatively, just make “social commentary” like a torrential downpour on the financial district. Sometimes art is just revenge.

Hunting down Catholic priests

Turns out they were basically bounty hunters for Catholic priests during Elizabeth I’s reign.

“Really? How about dying for it?”

What’s the old lingers?

Make them open and close in a circular pattern like a camera aperture and I’m in

I had heard the servitor story before but forgot where it was sourced. Do you happen to remember which book it came from?

If we find people who regret it, do we then need to ban it? Is there a certain threshold of regretful people we need to meet?

Do you expect a lot of people to regret something that happened to them before they were capable of forming memories?

Pretty much any Bob Marley live recording, the songs just feel like they were meant to be heard that way.

You can hear the crowd singing along, and Bob losing himself in the music.His songs feel like prayers for peace and that really comes through in the live versions.

To properly follow the rules and be specific, I’d say No Woman No Cry - Live at the Lyceum

Based on that last bit of your post, it sounds like you may actually not be that familiar with the incel community.

Short answer is that it goes much further than it seems at first glance. So,if you’re feeling unhappy about your prospects, I’d recommend looking into other communities for the sake of your mental health.

Honestly, just focusing on a hobby of some kind and making connections with the community surrounding it would be infinitely better for you.

Meat clearly isn’t gonna be a unique answer here, but it does have a weird effect on what it feels like to travel to different countries when your diet doesn’t revolve around animals.

Where other people see tons of street food and opportunities for interacting with a culture, some places mostly just feel empty.

Not meaning it in a judging way, but there are tons of places where I don’t really feel welcome.

Also how is your butthole doing, bro?

A majority of Americans want stricter gun laws, and that’s been consistent for quite a few years.

We also have a dysfunctional political system that prevents popular ideas from getting anywhere, but we’re not really unique in that I suppose.

I just don’t understand how Apple, a company known for their sleek, elegant design aesthetics above all else, put their name on something that looks so dorky

Ultimately, it’s selecting for crabs. Crabs are perfection. There is no escaping carcinization.

Yep. The indie boom that PC gaming experienced would not have been possible without early access funding, full stop.

Not every early access title has gone perfectly and there are some studios that have gamed the system.

Still, the stuff that managed to make it through the process and become successful has been some of the only stuff saving us from a live service hellscape
