  • You can definitely say “joe rogan thinks an anti-parasitic drug works on viruses.”

    I feel like they know this. They’re not defending Joe Rogan, they’re pointing out the very true fact that Ivermectin has, is, and will continue to be used for purposes outside of deworming horses. When you say, “Joe Rogan is dumb because he’s using horse dewormer”, his defenders can (rightfully) correct you by saying “they’re not just horse dewormers, they work for other things too”. When you say, “Joe Rogan is dumb because he’s taking an antiparasitic for a virus”, their only option is to admit he’s an idiot, or admit they’re an idiot.

  • You’re getting downvoted but you’re correct. I worked in the pharmacy industry during and before COVID. Ivermectin, as a pill and cream, were being used for a variety of things, human and animal; it wasn’t the most common medication by any means but we always had it in stock and filled it regularly, until the COVIDiots (patients and doctors!) decided it was somehow the cure and started flooding us with prescriptions for the stuff and we had to stop filling them.

    All this to say, unless Rogan has parasites (not ruling it out), no reason to be taking dewormer, horse or otherwise.

I travel a lot for work. As such, I eat out a lot. As such such, I look at a lot of places’ menus without physically being there (since I don’t know the area, I don’t know where to eat, so I look at the reviews and images posted online).

A restaurant’s soup selection will likely not be the thing that decides if I eat there or somewhere else, but sometimes soup is the only side dish that sounds appetizing, and if I don’t know what kind of soup the restaurant serves I’ll probably just pick somewhere else.

  • then found an unrelated post from reddit to serve as an intro to your comment (on an unrelated Lemmy post) linking to your lemmy-reddit post… why?

    Nope. None of those are things that I did, you complete and utter buffoon.

    So, someone else posted that comment then? The only thing that isn’t right there in your comment is whether or not you made the alt, which… ok? Still lots of questions. Actually more, why so aggro?

  • You saw a post on reddit, so you made an alt on Lemmy to repost it, then found an unrelated post from reddit to serve as an intro to your comment (on an unrelated Lemmy post) linking to your lemmy-reddit post… why? Like I’d get just posting it but why link it here, in this thread, with another unrelated pic lol.

  • Welcome back.

    I think you offer an interesting and unique perspective and clearly have a lot of passion for the subject. I am an ill-informed American gamer and this is the first I’ve heard of a “15 year console ban” in China. (Of course I knew about things like internet restriction so “console ban” does not seem too crazy, but I never knew it was a thing.) The resulting gray market sounds both exciting and terribly frustrating. How did these devices work, would you insert an official game disk and play like normal?

    Your writing remains elegant. No need to run it through a filter.

  • Thank you for sharing. I don’t make enough time for videogames as I used to, but reading your fond memories of these games remind me of my own. I’m glad that you have such a strong connection to these titles. Nanatsu Kaze no Shima Monogatari sounds beautiful, but my Japanese is very poor.

    Edit: forgot to say, shout out to the game store owner who sold you Dynasty Warriors 3. That was very nice of him to take the extra time with you, and shows you he’s really passionate about games. Also, your English is perfect.
