It isn't new news that the effects of agent orange are largely unsubstantiated. It became political and so now we need to believe it, but it's largely unscientific.

You can be experiencing full blown mania, and the psychiatrist can give you an anti-psychotic which will bring back to earth in a few hours. Then they can put you on a medication regimen where you stop having manic episodes. I would say it's much further along than doctors in the 1500s.

The mechanisms are not clear, which is not unusual in medicine, but the treatments are very effective.

a wall can't be destroyed but can attack like a unit, but it must have reinforcements from another unit behind your lines. So the strategy is to prevent your enemies from being able to make walls by placing your units strategically, and if they do make walls to interrupt their supply lines so they can't attack anymore.

First job out of college I was given, with no oversight or training, access to thousands of peoples SSNs, names, phone numbers and addresses. I also had a private investigator locate someone from my childhood once and got not only their phone number, address, and SSN but their entire family and neighbors and anyone who had a name similar to theirs. It's outrageous how insecure everything is.

The stone will never become soft in the soup - the bird will never be ready to eat.

I mean you went from not having a problem to having a problem. Whether it "was there before" just seems like semantics to me.

The theology of the eucharist/communion is definitely different in protestant churches.

I've never been to a protestant church where they believe you receive a sort of saving grace from consuming the host - though there is agreement it is pleasing to God to do it.

In the Catholic church they definitely believe you receive some sort of grace. What "kind" of grace is something I still haven't wrapped my head around.

I've never been to a protestant church where the message was that we were "worthy" of the cross. Everything has always been predicated on grace which is necessarily unmerited.
