I still don’t think she’s dumb. I think she’s trying to get and stay famous and she’s doing a pretty good job so far. She’s not a good attorney, but that doesn’t make her dumb.

Die anderen haben es schon beantwortet, aber danke, dass du gefragt hast! Ich bin Ausländerin und mache gerade meinen Master im DaF, um Integrationskurse zu unterrichten. Ich mache das teilweise, weil Sachen wie Mülltrennung sehr wichtig für die Integration sind aber auch kaum und unklar in solchen Kursen vermittelt werden.

Ich finde es super schön, dass du diese Informationen selber aussuchst :)

I don’t think she’s a good lawyer, but I also don’t think she’s stupid. I would call her shrewd. She’s exactly where she wants to be, if her end goal is more than 15 minutes of fame (which it seems to be, given that radio show). If trump sues her, she can just extend her time in the spotlight. If not, she can always sue him for nonpayment herself

You’re a sadist for not showing us the cross section

The Guardian reported in 22 on what came out of the investigation.

I would love for this to be false and one nutso nurse, please send me something credible suggesting it’s wrong, if you can. It’s fucking sickening to imagine it’s true, so I’m very happy to change my mind if there’s evidence supporting it.

Right, I agree with you about that, but believe you’re using too broad a brush here, I don’t know if that was clear.

There’s a huge difference between ineffective herbal mixtures that are being predatorily advertised to people with chronic illnesses and this, imo. This is more akin to your dentist telling you to rinse with homemade saline solution if you can’t afford mouthwash- it’s a scientifically well established disinfectant, just made at home.

I think it’s wonderful that Brazil’s researching folk cures, too often they’re unresearched by the academic community, even though they’ve been in some cases (not all) used effectively for centuries. I appreciate you wanting to wait until there’s been rigorous academic testing, and I do think that’s the right thing to do, if it’s something that you can do. If you’re in a situation where you don’t have that option, it’s not as easy, in my opinion. Especially because there’s a huge backlog of traditional remedies to test, and not all governments are so open to testing them at all.

Willow bark was generally used for headaches and body aches, similarly to how it is today. The same could be said for tons of other medications. It’s perfectly fine to choose not to use them, but a home remedy is not inherently unscientific or dangerous.

Aspirin comes from willow bark, which we used to drink in tea. Home remedies aren’t necessarily opposed to science, they’re often a part of it.

Your s/o doesn’t sound like a fit to take care of you right now, can you stay elsewhere?

So either she’s smart enough to pass the bar and stupid enough not to understand how payment works or she’s not looking for financial compensation.

The bar isn’t that hard, but it’s hard to be that dumb and still pass it.

Yes, the Connecticut-born, Yale-educated southern good old boy was probably not smarter than his Vice President, but he wasn’t anywhere near as dumb as he seemed
