That’s what we used to call working from 6-23 at my first job.

But Clarence Thomas accepted gifts from people who then argued in front of the Supreme Court without recusing himself without facing any consequences, so is there anything to stop it?

I’m sorry, my last knowledge update does not address this area. If you’re looking for specific medical advice, please consult a doctor.

Not really. It’s people who enjoy art of personified/anthropomorphized animals. Sometimes it’s sexual, sometimes it involves personas and costumes, sometimes it’s just rabbits in bankers’ outfits. It’s viewed as weird by a lot of people because they assume it’s all costumes and sex, but looney tunes technically also counts, so it’s much more widespread than people identifying with it is.

It’s because the French and the English can’t allow the other to win, so we use a third option

Die anderen haben es schon beantwortet, aber danke, dass du gefragt hast! Ich bin Ausländerin und mache gerade meinen Master im DaF, um Integrationskurse zu unterrichten. Ich mache das teilweise, weil Sachen wie Mülltrennung sehr wichtig für die Integration sind aber auch kaum und unklar in solchen Kursen vermittelt werden.

Ich finde es super schön, dass du diese Informationen selber aussuchst :)

Right, I agree with you about that, but believe you’re using too broad a brush here, I don’t know if that was clear.

There’s a huge difference between ineffective herbal mixtures that are being predatorily advertised to people with chronic illnesses and this, imo. This is more akin to your dentist telling you to rinse with homemade saline solution if you can’t afford mouthwash- it’s a scientifically well established disinfectant, just made at home.

I think it’s wonderful that Brazil’s researching folk cures, too often they’re unresearched by the academic community, even though they’ve been in some cases (not all) used effectively for centuries. I appreciate you wanting to wait until there’s been rigorous academic testing, and I do think that’s the right thing to do, if it’s something that you can do. If you’re in a situation where you don’t have that option, it’s not as easy, in my opinion. Especially because there’s a huge backlog of traditional remedies to test, and not all governments are so open to testing them at all.

Willow bark was generally used for headaches and body aches, similarly to how it is today. The same could be said for tons of other medications. It’s perfectly fine to choose not to use them, but a home remedy is not inherently unscientific or dangerous.

Aspirin comes from willow bark, which we used to drink in tea. Home remedies aren’t necessarily opposed to science, they’re often a part of it.

Your s/o doesn’t sound like a fit to take care of you right now, can you stay elsewhere?

Jesus Christ, 2013 is too late for that.
