Is The Earth Flat? Meet The People Questioning Science

Flat-Earthers, as the intellectuals on this planet, we have decided that all conventional science is not only flawed, but completely fabricated altogether. We have gathered a mass amount of people all around the globe who state that science has been pulling a prank on humanity. The Earth, is not and never has been, round. You want proof? Simply google images of the Earth, notice anything? I’ll give you a hint, THEY'RE PHOTOSHOPPED! “They’re all different!” claimed two men seen at the UK’s first ever Flat Earth convention, they take note of the color of the ocean, and the placement of the continents while “Looking for the Photoshopped Images,” 

Notice here, the oceans are two completely different colors, how else could you explain that? That’s right, there’s no other explanation, check-mate Flat Earth Society.

“How do you not walk off the edge?” those who ask that question obviously practice the phrase ‘Ignorance is bliss’ and they are unable to grasp the facts. Darren Nesbit, a part-time musician who drives a van for a living, informs us that if you “Walk off one edge,” “through a quirk of space and time you’ll appear on the other side.”       

            Those who question us? Don’t worry, we just hit them with the facts.

Here’s the thing, there is not a single piece of evidence to prove us wrong because anything that may contradict our theories has been falsified by the government and the so called “scientific” community.

In conclusion, don’t believe everything you read. Who knows what you might find?

*side note* not only is the world flat, but the moon is also a projection.

Most Doctors Are Ill-Equipped to Deal with the Opioid Epidemic. Few Medical Schools Teach Addiction

Who: Medical students, Doctors

What:  are not taught how to deal with opioid addiction in patients

When: RIGHT NOW

Where: America

Why: Opioids are highly addictive, so when a doctor prescribes them to a patient to relieve pain, and the patient becomes dependent on the drug, the medical professional SHOULD know how to approach the situation.

                In this article, The New York Times’ Jan Hoffman addresses the fact that doctors and medical students have not/ are not being taught how to manage chronic pain patients who might be susceptible to substance abuse.

                According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, addiction to substances result in about 632,000 deaths every year right here in America, yet, according to Dr. Kevin Kunz, only 15 out of the 180 medical school programs teach substance abuse.

                Treating the patient doesn’t just depend on your knowledge of abuse, you also need to understand how to address it and talk about it with your patient. Wording Effect is EVERYTHING, a simple use of the word "clean" can discourage patients to open up due to the impression that they are considered "dirty".
               
               

Claire Profile

As a Post Malone enthusiast, Claire had a hard time picking a favorite piece of his work, “I just love them all,” she stated, but after a minute of contemplating she was able to narrow it down to not one, but two favorites. The lucky songs that made her cut were “Paranoid” and “Too Young”. Post’s mesmerizing voice and emotional lyrics is what draws Claire to his pieces, and he is her musical go-to.

Her interests don’t stop at listening to ‘Posty’, Claire also enjoys the ever-changing world of fashion. Without a particular style, she’s down to ride the bandwagon and follow whatever trends are in style at the moment, just as long as they are “comfy” and “look good”. This way she doesn’t feel uncomfortable and allows her to feel more confident in what she wears.

Not just any store will do, Claire prefers the stores Forever 21, Tilly’s, and Pacsun, which are known for carrying clothes and other items that fit into the trendy category. I had heard of Forever 21, and I’m sure so have others, but Pacsun and Tilly’s were new to me. A solid explanation for this would be that neither of the stores are located in Iowa, resulting in a majority of Claire’s shopping being done online, a process that she doesn’t seem to mind.
