  • Doctors in the US never ever prescribe herbs or supplements. On rare occasions when you have a legitimate vitamin deficiency, verified by blood work, they will prescribe medical grade vitamin tablets, from a pharmacy that has actually tested the vitamin content of the product. Vitamin D deficiency is quite common, and while rare, scurvy (vitamin C deficiency) can happen if someone is malnourished.

    My doctor has told me on more that one occasion that herbal supplements are completely unregulated, many don’t contain even a bit of the claimed herb, and sometimes have legitimately harmful plants mixed in, as if someone just gathered a bunch of weeds, dried and ground them up.

















  • As I have stated I only call if it’s an emergency (I’m in an accident, im in danger, someone else is hurt) or it’s time sensitive (someone has face value Taylor Swift tickets at work, want me to get them for you?) I almost always text first, wait 5 min then try calling, I’m not a monster.

    I find it pretty self important of people to cut off last resort real time communication with close friends and family because you think 2 minutes of your day is that much more important.

    You can configure unknown numbers to go to voicemail. Heck you can make it so that only a certain subset of people ring.

    Shame on you for blocking everyone instead of learning how to filter communication, and double shame on you if you get mad when you missed something that someone was trying every possible method to get a hold of you.



  • If I’m calling it’s an emergency or extremely time sensitive. Otherwise I text. I can understand when you don’t want app or even text notifications. But understand and accept the risk that comes with it.

    What pisses me right the fuck off is when I call, then call again, then text, then text again, and you, “mr/mrs im so important I can’t be bothered by notifications” are somehow offended at me because you missed out on something because you didn’t bother properly configuring two calls in a row from a known contact through your deny-by-default filter.

    Those people, family or not, can fuck right off.

    I don’t like telemarketing or spam calls. But I also take responsibility and check if it’s actually important. It’s nbd to me to hang up on a spam call. And to be honest I have gotten a fair share of legitimate calls from numbers I don’t recognize.

    TL;DL Answer ya damn phone, you damn well know tiktok and insta still gonna be there 5 seconds from now
