    Kind of unrelated but Claire’s unironically is complicit in child abuse.

    They have no problem piercing the ears of children screaming that they do not want to be pierced but the parents force them to.

    Yep, its for religious reasons.

    No, I don’t care, still child abuse.

    • Yeah that’s super fucked. Never had anything pierced, but I remember watching my niece get her ears done.

      If someone did that to her without her permission I’d probably be throwing hands lol. Shits cruel.

        You think thats fucked?

        My idiot father was convinced that my puberty growing pains were signs of rheumatoid arthritis, a condition that essentially never develops in anyone younger than 45, and forced me to get a spinal tap.

        I was at the age where he couldnt help me with my math homework anymore. You know, algebra, waaay too complicated for this drunk bozo that mainlined Rush Limbaugh at all times while in a vehicle.

        Any way they fucked up the spinal tap and I’ve had spinal and other nervous system problems ever since, and obviously no I did not have arthritis.

        Alll he had to do was just listen to me and give me ibuprofen. Nope, kid can’t be right, must be some insane bullshit instead. Oh that didn’t work? Send him to a chiropractor and fuck him up more!

        I am unironically going to piss on his grave and take a sledgehammer to the tombstone when he croaks.

              You know I always thought chiropractors where just doctors that specialized in spinal injury/back pain. You know, like guy who gives you a back brace to deal with scoliosis or whatever.

              Didn’t realize it was some weird pseudoscience thing.

                Yeah the origins of chiropracty seem to be in the late 1800s or early 1900s, basically one of the few offshoots of ‘vitalism’ that still remains quite prevalent.

                There is no conclusive evidence that it really works at all, and there are a significant number of injuries that it has caused, as you can basically get a Doctor of Chiropracty from, at worst, a diploma mill, and at best, roughly the equivalent of getting a ‘degree’ in homeopathy or reiki, after maybe a few months of instruction.

            I wish I knew so I could sue for malpractice.

            My dad just suddenly, with no previous hint or warning just brought me in to the local clinic one day, I didn’t learn I was getting a spinal tap until I was in the OR.

            Upon learning this I protested, attempted to leave, was physically restrained by my dad, and was punctured as I was screaming and crying.

            Then my dad denied it ever happened and gaslit me for decades until I finally quit communicating with him and went no contact.

            All I know is the guy that did it was white, male, had glasses and was in OR scrub attire.

                I decided to disappear from him after he showed me how he constructs ghost guns (no serial numbers) in his garage, and then a few months later tried to have me committed to a mental institution in the middle of nowhere after a team of doctors at the best medical outfit in the state determined I am autistic.

                Nope, can’t be that, I must be schizophrenic.

                If I cared enough and ever get to the point I can handle my life’s trauma, I could probably write a compelling autobiography.

      still doubling down on child abuse.

      Fixed that for you. It’s not like any children are volunteering for the religious indoctrination with a side of trauma from being threatened with eternal suffering the moment they don’t behave like their delusional parents prefer.
