    In this GIF Christian (guy up top) is simply trying to apply a holistic technique for clearing Darby (guy on the stretcher) of bad energy. It’s a technique that has been applied successfully for thousands of years.

    Man, this is a fresh meme. The events in the video only took place this past Sunday night.

      “Holistic” is like the one word associated with “alternative medicine” that doesn’t really deserve a bad rap. Just means “addresses the whole” - like, physical therapy is holistic, focusing for instance on how treating an injury affects a dynamic process like walking, versus just focusing on healing the tissue or bone at the site of the injury.

      Just to absolutely nitpick that to death.

          Well, this is a tangent. My comment wasn’t even defending “alternative” medicine. But, the assumption there would basically be that every actually effective treatment that previous cultures/methodologies had identified has also been identified by modern “Western” medicine. It may be a good rule of thumb but it’s not universally the case.

        Technically true but it has been cooped by the believers of homeopathy and chiropractor bullshit.

        😂 Absolutely fair. I made that comment like 10 minutes after waking up and I knew I should’ve used a different word but couldn’t think of something more appropriate at the time. But to keep your context preserved I’m not going to edit it.

    Buddy of mine got a letter from the state attorney summoning him to court over a four night hospital stay years ago that he couldn’t pay.

    Shits ridiculous.
