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."

To play devil's advocate here, I suspect many rural voters would probably just say they'd like to be left alone more than anything else.

They really buy into that Reagan line about "I'm from the government and I'm here to help" being the 9 most terrifying words in the English language. They haven't seen government programs working effectively around them.

I'm not sure promising more government assistance for rural areas is a winning message, is my point.

We might be able to point out the class divide between republican voters and their representatives, though. That, and highlighting the donors those representatives are really working for.

Conservative philosophy has had generations to settle in these areas, so any messaging to the contrary is going to be an uphill climb.

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?

No they're not, they're voting for results. They got an abortion ban they've been campaigning for since the 70's because of him. They don't care about where/how he prays, just about results.

UBI became broadly well known as a policy in the US in 2020 with Andrew Yang's campaign. It was on the Green Party's radar as of their 2010 platform. Neither of those things had happened when the Dems had a roughly 6 month supermajority in 2009.

There are plenty of legitimate concerns to have about Democratic policies without expecting time travel from them.

You may not care what Republicans think, but you're doing their job for them.

Hi. Did you know you're repeating a Republican attack line from the campaign? I wonder who that would help.

tl;dr: the actual length of the supermajority was a few months, which they spent working on reform for the healthcare industry, where an estimated $2.4 trillion was spent in 2008.

Also, even the Green Party didn't add UBI to their platform until 2010.

For real, doing a double take on one video can leave their shit popping up in your feed for weeks (on pretty much any social media site). Gotta be quick on the trigger to avoid that stuff

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.

Alternatively, go the Stoic route and mentally prepare yourself for the worst possible outcome.

Then, anything less than that will feel like an upgrade.

Dragon's breath is a pretty common name for incense scents, but it seems to vary a bit between different brands. The only common ingredient I saw was that most of them have musk or "white musk"
