Good evening, my scientifically-minded fellow fags. I spent the last few weeks being a ‘shill’ for big pharma and MONSATAN, so I think this week, I’m going to talk about something less…controversial. Less than 2 years ago, I was completely misled to what this quackery actually was, and when I think back on just how casually I had been misled…and how others have been too, I realized a lot of you might not realize it too.
Today, we’re talking about the sheer quackery, the alternative medicine conspiracy theory, the ‘science’ of back-cracking and spine-snapping…we’re talking about Chiropractic!
Shame the block is only 2.5 hours long now, and this 30 min break right after the first show is just ridiculous.

Chiropractic’s roots only go back a little over a hundred years, when Mr. Daniel Palmer, a magnetic healer with zero medical qualifications, claimed that he’d been visited by the GHOST OF A DOCTOR(no, really), who supposedly imparted the secrets of healing from THE OTHER SIIIIIIIIIIIDE. Mr Palmer proceeded to present his claim: That almost all disease is caused by misalignments in the spine, and adjusting it could stimulate your body to heal itself.
Also worth noting that he believed chiropractic was a religious application of magical healing, and that practitioners needed to be religious. His son decided to commercialize chiropractic as a miracle healing, and ended up convincing his father to open the Palmer School of Chiropractic.
Palmer later died after his son ran him over with a car, but his death was ruled as being cured by typhoid…though considering he claimed adjustments could cure any disease, why didn’t he just get his back cracked to cure it?

But user don't you want to see last season's jobbers actually prove they aren't completely worthless before becoming worthless again so kiritoe saves the day?
Alright alright alright, Toonami General! Deep Space Radio here with some awesome tunes tonight! Let's jump right on into it, yeah?
Hey, first off let's start with some 8-Bit Big Band doing a cover of Spring Yard Zone from Sonic. youtube.com/watch?v=wqgml2gYAE4 I dig the way they captured the jaunty feel of the original, it really translates well to an orchestral arrangement. They did a good job with the organ solo, but the sax solo sounds like the more professional of the two. A problem I hear too often seems to be making up each individual solo on the spot. This is an assumption, mind you, with a bit of personal experience to speak of but not a lot. If I had advice to give worth having, it'd be that practicing a solo beforehand doesn't cheapen the quality, and is worth the extra effort. Anyway, this was a cool arrangement of the song and I thought it'd be a nice way to kick things off.
So did this ever do anything beyond the same jokes of Oblivious hardworking titty monster and oblivious well natured audience insert have awkward misunderstandings while Best Boss tries to molest her?
when the hell did this war become about who steals the most of the dead souls during battle? what the fuck even is this war? There are no stakes and very little sense of the geography
Just one, how the fuck could you find me hot? Must have shit taste in dudes. I aint complaining though, that just works in my favor

You really don't want that to happen with this show, trust me.

An off duty chiropractor walked up on my mom when she was young and surprise-twisted her neck because she casually complained of neck pain. I think he could've killed her. Also it made her neck worse and he ran away.

>As a leader I've failed. Not half as bad as that green nigga who literally fucking left in the middle of the fight. Hell he left BEFORE the fight. A fight they were WINNING.
>Ironically this is the smartest and most realistic move in this whole "battle" yet Yeah because it's basically using a shit ton of WP in small valley. It'd be considered a war crime in the real world.
Also worth noting that Daniel Palmer, like I said before, had absolutely no medical qualifications, and was arrested at one point for presenting himself as a doctor with no qualifications.
Anyway, as the years have gone on, chiropractic began slowly shifting its prominent face from being a 'miracle cure-all' to 'a magical remedy for back pain'...at least that's what most chiropractors present. There's still a significant portion of chiropractors who continue to present the claims of healing made by mr Palmer. To this day, many chiros will insist that adjustments can be used for any number of issues, from brain damage, to replacing vaccines, to being a cure for viruses like HIV. Quacks like Mr. John Bergman(whom you might have heard of if you've ever heard of the Xtremegamez youtube e-celebrity drama) is a FAMOUS fucking quack who insists vaccines cause autism, that AIDS isn't real, and he's famous for adjusting babies and horribly deformed patients.
Many of the 'doctor' faces of the anti-vaxx and anti-GMO movements, as well as the 'doctors' who make the supplements for lunatic programs like Infowars are also chiropractors.
That's pretty damn common. Chiros, without actually doing proper medical examinations of their patients(because they're NOT DOCTORS) will immediately assume they know how to fix their victims - sorry, patients - and immediately start cracking.
Hey, speaking of Sega, here's a mashup of some Sonic and JSR tunes, titled Jet Set Sonic - Running the Bassline. youtube.com/watch?v=L-2ufHb06Mc It's a mix of Sonic Rush tunes, JSR and JSRF songs, and a song from Sonic Lost World. Never played the last one, but I guess at least the music was probably good. Even the worst Sonic game can have good music. 06 was bound to have at least one good one. But anyway, yeah, I kinda dig the horns in this, the flute and the saxes. The frenetic bongos and drums give it an interesting energy, and the JSR soundbytes are like spices sprinkled liberally on top. All pretty cool, I think. Give it a listen.
