I definitely do not regret deleting my account, even though I miss a lot of things about it when it was still twitter.

Same. I miss the sports coverage on Twitter, but will not rejoin that fascist cesspool.

Why is it that it is generally accepted that chiropractors are legitimate doctors and not pseudoscientific quacks?

A friend of mine from 25 years ago was rising the corporate ladder when she had to go on permanent disability after what one of those people did to her.

My brother had a similar story about a friend.

I’ve never viewed a Chiropractor as a doctor.  It’s always been more of a physical therapy thing for me.   A good Chiropractor can be a god send for back and neck issues.   I’ve had situations where I could barely move and thought I’d really done damage only to be just like normal after two sessions.  

The key is that you have to know how to handle them. It’s sort of like buying a car at the dealership. Do buy into all the other BS.  They will all get super deep into alternative methods to treat everything.  Don’t do it.  Just go to alleviate what pains you at that moment.  They will all preach on the benefits of coming twice a week for a 3 months after the pain stops to build strength.  Don’t do it.    Solve the pain and move on.

Once upon a time the plan was to become a chiropractor. This was after the old guy my grandfather and father saw would allow me to use the vibrator on their backs. He promised to teach me his technique. I was about 7 or 8 at the time.

I later came to my senses and went into broadcasting...
