YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective"

That's the thing. Chiropractic could be considered a manual treatment which is a therapeutic modality. PTs do manual therapies that are less traumatic and are one component of the musculoskeletal issues that contribute to pain that chiro claims to heal. For most situations of acute back pain they resolve in 4 to 6 weeks so even the ineffective treatments appear to help- it's just like treatments for the common cold.

"Both parties are the same!"

It does. Biden is able to get away with being toothless and doing things like continuing to build the border wall. It feels like his only redemption is he's not Trump. I will vote my mind during the primaries but if it's Biden, I'm gonna hate that I have to vote for him simply because the alternative is worse.

For sure, but I am cynical about people's convictions when it comes to their sources of leisure and free time. I see it in all places. Folks are gonna watch the new flash even though doing so will help Miller's career. Activision/Blizzard has proven to be horrendous and for those that don't care about that, they also underdelivered on overwatch 2. Diablo 4, however, is the best selling game in the series. Even back in the day folks had wanted to boycott left 4 dead 2 only for them to end up buying it anyways.

Things like that make me hopeful, but my optimism is tempered.

For sure. I'm enjoying it, but reddit's downfall really depends on how many divest from it and can join us here. I think it'll be fine because people are coming and there will be guides to help folks navigate, but only time will tell
