The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[CiG]

Seems to me his idea of a degenerate is somebody that lets their vices bleed over into the lives of those around them/society at large. Reasonable.

What's the motivating factor behind going to a chiropractor vs. an orthopedist with an actual degree in medicine?

You go to each for different reasons. An orthopedic performs surgery and prescribes medicine. A chiropractor can do neither but there is a discipline that combines the two. I mean medicine is a trial and error thing both comes with their risks, but it just depends on your needs. This might be cultural but I just think surgery should be a last resort thing. If i can try to realign something through some stretches or whatever I’ll try that first.

@HamburgerBoy you use that word way too much. I hope you’re of the highest order of humans. Id rather speak to an alcoholic or soda addict than a selfish person devoid of basic morals. An alcoholic or addict can successfully get help.

Spoken like someone that doesn't know any alcoholics. Alcoholics and lardasses are some of the most selfish people around. Their entire existence revolves around stimulating basic centers in the brain to the detriment of their own lives and society. If alcohol disappeared from society, so would the vast majority of violent crime, and societal health would improve greatly.

He calls people who can't control their vices degenerates but watches porn which is a degenerate thing to do.

You could say that about pornography, but the difference is that most humans are hardwired to be conducive to sexual arousal. I hump pillows primarily to take care of primal urges and immediately go back to my normal life once I've had my nut. I don't wake up with a hangover or inability to work just because my pillow smells a little salty. There is no moral difference between sex outside of marriage/intention to conceive, and masturbation. Similarly, I don't consider "sex addiction" to be a real problem unless you're Bob Crane or Anthony Weiner. I have no moral qualms with people fucking to their heart's content.

Yep.

I mean obviously surgery is a last resort but if I have to choose someone with a non medical degree over someone with a medical degree to diagnose my problem and give treatment, I'm obviously going with the person who has a medical degree.

I am biased when it comes to that though since my dad is a doctor and I grew up around doctors.

How is a soda addict bleeding over and affecting everyone else? Like someone who has it in their head that all of x are degenerate people, I can’t see how that’s helpful to society. Some people need help with things.

I encourage HBB to masturbate because when he is doing so, he doesn't have an opportunity to procreate (not that he does regardless, but still).

I can vouch as I am both but I've been sober for 4 months and tbh being sober is better for me. Cessation of alcohol consumption has led to a drop of almost 20 pounds in weight and I'm still dropping so that's a win win

Socialized healthcare means tax dollars are wasted on their addiction. Their fat asses have to be accommodated by the ADA. The disgusting noises of their sloshing bellies reverberating under their cries of having genetic predispositions towards being lardasses causes me physical and mental anguish. They are degenerate subhumans.

My dad is a doctor too and all of my siblings work in the medical field except my oldest sister and myself. My dad actually taught me that people have gotten better and their health improved due to sanitation improving before they introduced antibiotics. I mean there are things that are absolutely need medical treatment, no doubt. Chiropractors take X-rays and go to school/receive training. It’s more of a skill. They give you exercises to do and stuff. It just depends on the issue. If the X-ray shows that whatever the issue is is beyond what they can do then they have to refer you to a different type of help. I know it’s like hip now these alternative medicines but a lot of them are really just exercising and massages which are both proven to help some things. Now that needle shit, I can’t speak on. (Forgot what that was called)

I find it weird when people lose weight through giving up alcohol.

I'm sure it mostly comes down to them not eating loads of crap whilst pissed. I was my lightest (as an adult) when I drank loads and now it doesn't seem to make any difference how much I drink. I keep a rough track of how many calories I'm consuming but don't bother adding in the beers. Which means I'm supposedly ignoring a day or more calories a week. Which, given that I don't have some crazy metabolism, seems like bullshit.


Gonna go watch some fireworks or some shit now because everyone apparently thinks it's cool to wage war on birds.

It's the lack of sugar your body suddenly has tbh

Soda addict reporting in, still a more stellar example of humanity/manhood than Hamburgayboy

Also not a lardass, small gut but mostly a twig

 

[CiG]

Soda addiction tends to comes with negative health implications. Most people who are massively overweight are so due not so much to what they eat but what they drink and drinking large, addiction-level amounts of soda is not an action that overlaps much with an active lifestyle.

That kind of thing, especially in countries like Australia with universal healthcare, is a drain on society. Simply put, the west is obese.

I have no moral qualms with people fucking to their heart's content.

Issues resulting from promiscuous sex are just as big a drain on society are they not?

 

[The Ozzman]

TIL that HBB is the true ubermensch Nietzsche talks about

I'm pretty sure you're not, at least as far as "humanity" goes. Manhood, fair enough, but don't force me into your preconceived gender stereotypes you FAS baby.

Gut + twig = you'll have a fat pregnant-woman belly in 10 years.

Not really. Teen pregnancies and such are mostly the result of Christian moralizing/abstinence education. HIV is the result of homosexuals, heterosexuals don't spread it nearly as much. Single mothers with a billion children are a problem of the welfare state.

 

[CiG]

I'm sure it mostly comes down to them not eating loads of crap whilst pissed.

Usually not so much. Besides what Ozz said, alcoholics tend to drink for long periods without eating and then binge eat until they start drinking again.

One of the worst things about having an alcoholic mother growing up was that when she'd start her benders, food would no longer be a priority to her so we'd often go without until she sobered up again.

Teen pregnancies and such are mostly the result of Christian moralizing/abstinence education.

Any sources to back something like this up? Christian moralizing could lead to teen pregnancies but I bet on the other end that moralizing also leads to teen weddings to fix the mistake in some way.

Lord.

Well you’re right I don’t know, personally, any true alcoholics. I know some obese people who try to keep their weight down and go to the gym. There’s tons of fat people who contribute and many addicts of some sorts who have made contributions too. Everyone sucks, in the end. Not giving people a chance, though, to improve is ridiculous. Even the thin, healthy person can improve too.

 

[The Ozzman]

Usually not so much.

I would snack like a motherfucker while drinking so there's some truth to that

 

[CiG]

What kind of alcohol were you addicted to and how did your drinking methods go?

Did you drink for days or drink until you were drunk and then crash? People overuse the label alcoholic so much that I don't really trust people anymore when they self-identify.
