I had met this lady a few weeks ago who did numerology sessions on the side of her regular job. She had offered me a session at the time and I had refused. I ended up finding her number a few weeks later and had arranged to book a session.

I had been seeing all these numbers repeating, and thought, why not have some fun, right? I don't really believe in that kinda stuff, but it would be interesting to see what values people ascribe to things as random as numbers, and see what I think about it. An hour session was gonna come out to upwards of 200+ dollars 💀 .

I apologised saying I should've asked for a quote beforehand, but she tries to call me (I didn't pick up) and she then texts me that "people usually call me when they're in need and I recommend the session", but it's like...of course you would, you're making 200+ dollars off of me lol.

No disrespect to her, but I hate that everyday interactions are warped by profit 😓. I get everyone has to eat, but damn, wtf?

I think everyone here agrees numerology is a scam with zero scientific evidence.

What does lemmygradians think of traditional Chinese medicine?

The scientific reasoning behind specifically acupuncture and cupping sound 100% like bullshit to me, but anecdotally it works for relieving chronic pain for my partner. Go figure.

Traditional medicine is just dangerous pseudoscience in the modern world and needs to be left behind and completely rejected

Dumb take. Mainstream medicine is still warped by the conditions of the society in which it is developed and practiced. In America, that means politicized/racist drug policy results in prohibition of actually useful drugs while creating a massive legally prescribed opiod addiction epidemic. That doesn't mean it's all bad, but there's certainly a lot of ways in which "alternative" medicine works better than mainstream medicine.

That’s more about the way medicine is handled rather than the medicine itself. If we look at a country like Burkina Faso where vaccines were adopted en mass when they were made available, those vaccinations did much more to reduce the pervasiveness of a huge number of disease quite quickly and much more effectively than traditional medicine in the country was every able to
