CMV: "Every case is different / ask your doctor" is gatekeeping bs

This is most commonly seen with law firms / healthcare providers, where they publish a general article about some question and end with this to encourage a consultation. I consider this gatekeeping because I assume / it is reasonable to assume that every profession has an SOP (Standard Operating Procedure), i.e. a series of "If this Then that, Else ((nested) If this Then that, Else...)".
For example, for every case a lawyer will handle, there will be some applicable law. Because the law defines the condition for someone to be considered guilty, the lawyer just applies the conditions to find feasible defenses. For the sake of this discussion, case law is treated the same as statutory law. Thus, lawyers just "execute" a series of "if-else" statements.
It's the same for doctors. A doctor orders a series of labs (or observe symptoms), and based on those ("If-else") make diagnosis or prescribe medication (and decide dosage).
TLDR: "Every case / everyone is different" is not true. Almost everything (or at least the most common things) can be described as a bunch of "If-else"'s, thus the claim of "uniqueness" is simply gatekeeping and a way to generate revenue.

do people remember like REALLY embarrassing stuff you’ve done/posted

basically the title, do people remember dumb things you’ve posted or said?
and i’m not talking about saying something dumb or having a bad opinion, but for example i used to post substances a couple years ago while still in highschool, a lot of people i knew saw those posts
and while ive changed a lot that embarrassment never leaves me and there’s certain days i think about it more often then i want to.

I’m learning to sit with my feelings instead of rushing to change them

It’s uncomfortable, but also kind of grounding. Not everything needs an immediate solution

Need help getting away from dad

I'm not going to mention my age but I am under 16, my parents are divorced and have been almost my entire life, I've never had a family, anyways my dad has been screaming at me when I struggle to eat from an eating discorder, he knows that, also I have been getting punished for that, he took my phone away for 6 hours because I struggled to eat an apple and then told me he wants me to suffer, there is no legal thing that says I have to stay there no court orders or anything, and he says if I don't come with him he's gonna drag me from my mums house and force me into the car which I think is abduction if he has no right, please help me I'm scared.

Anyone able to help out. Looking for a kids baking/cook /DK book.

Mother and I were having a conversation about cook books and remembered about one I got through my primary school book catalogue back when I was in primary school between 2001 and 2008. We think it was either DK or Usborne.
The one recipe we remember and want to try again was Fudge with philadelphia cheese, but we seem to have thrown out the book and cant find it online. I have a vague memory of it having a yellow cover. We have searched across the internet and have been unable to find it.
Any help with this would be appreciated.

im 18 and ive come decently close to dying 4 if not 5 times

i choked badly twice as a kid, almost drowned twice (once at about 10, the other at 15), and one time i was practicing pole dancing and the entire pole came down on me from the ceiling (mind you about 20lbs of metal PLUS my bodyweight) and i almost went out a second story window. also couldve easily hit me on the head but luckily it landed inches away from the window and only landed on my left forearm (which was injured but surprisingly not broken). i even have the pole incident on camera. my life is like a reverse final destination movie

Am I sick

So today I woke up and felt really cold, andvwhen I measured my temperature it said 35,5°C, so I decided maybe if I wore a jacket I would fell not as cold, but it didn't work.I then asked my father if I couldn't go to school, but didn't ask if I can go to the doctor because she isn't open yet. He saw my condition and temperature and said it's because I didn't get enough sleep and made me go. I don't feel any better and I don't know what to do.So am I sick or am I just a little cold? Also could not getting enough sleep be a factor to my illness?
