iirc Zantac was seriously black label shit they managed to talk to the FDA into approving it for hot wings

Yeah, some of these adverse effects look pretty gnarly, but I also didn't know that Zantac also depleted vitamin B12. Increased pneumonia risk, increased liver failure risk, heartrate fluctuations...sure sounds safe, let's get it over the counter NOW

Zantac was recalled due to manufacturing impurities. A lot of drugs can deplete B-vitamins, increase your risk of infections, strain your organs, and so on. They have to list all these potential problems for edge cases - for example, someone with HIV needs to know that a drug could further affect their immune system when a healthy person doesn't have to worry about it. They don't put HIV patients in regular clinical trials. Most healthy people who take the drug as directed do not have any issues.

This is what happened with Yaz and a lot of other birth control drugs: the creators had no clue that obesity would contribute to blood clotting while taking the drug because you can't put obese people in clinical trials. They didn't test for that.

That’s strange suddenly they care about the prices of stuff? That’s odd cause under Biden prices were just as bad and yet I was told that the economy was doing great. Wonder what changed.

I met someone online who had a real rough childhood (raped by his brother :( ) and was diagnosed with autism for a while. Later on though, he was rediagnosed as not having autism, but having near-crippling ADHD.

How do we know general autism isn't some kind of deep survival instinct, such as a battered wife becoming passive and quiet? Nature plays into it, sometimes brains get wired wrong, but nurture builds up the expectation of what the world is in reality, so if you grew up with more-or-less solitary confinement your expectation and preparedness for the world is going to be totally fucked and will take a lot of work to correct or even build up a healthy coping mechanism.

the diagnosis he should have gotten is CPTSD but that's not in the DSM so you can't bill insurance
 
What's the deal with trump giving himself a military parade and instituting martial law?

According to leftoids he's about to do that on April 20th to celebrate Hitler or something.

CPTSD is not in the DSM, but PTSD is and that's usually good enough. Psychiatrists will find a way to give you a diagnosis and help you, especially when it comes to insurance. The problem is some people insist on a Special™ diagnosis and psychiatrists tell you to fuck off.

dude you're talking out your ass, I don't know why pracitioners are unwilling to just give childhood abuse survivors a ptsd diagnosis but they frequently are not.

and nobody insists on a special diagnosis, why would they care? you might be confusing people wanting something other than an ADHD diagnosis for their kid, but that's because you can't get an IEP with just an ADHD diagnosis, or at least it used to be like that, someone chime in who still works in the field.
 
The other day I couldn't help but overhear two strangers talking about the tariffs with each other in a waiting room. From what I heard neither really had a strong opinion and spoke with the same tone you'd talk about the weather; mostly just conversational fluff. I gotta say, though, it's nice to get a refresher every once in a while that literally nothing about e-politics is real. Be it Xitter, /pol/, Facebook, Instagram, whatever, none of the cancer discourse rears its head in real life. It's all just faggy gossip and grifting. I can't place why, but everyone on the Internet argues like a scorned woman now.

So when you hear normal, composed people talking casually about current events, without trying to twist any new development into a political "win" or suddenly becoming an international trade expert when the "debate" calls for it, it's a great wake up call that there are still people who live in reality.

TL;DR: There is nothing gayer than arguing politics on the Internet.

He's probably going to do a big party for Easter but it coincides with Hitler's and Columbine's birthday.
They're schizo maxing while high on weed.

Yeah I def recalled the wtf dude effects
I used to work with a doc who ranted at length about Zantac being OTC, how using it for any length of time totally fucks up your ability to handle stomach acid making you more dependent on it. He also mostly hated statents.

Cool guy, glowed like the elephant's foot, probably worked on bioweapons.
