Been thinking of visiting a chiropractor because I'm so often leaning forward on my computer that my back hurts whenever I walk and have to stand straight, but now I'm getting doubts.

do some stretches. If you aren't fixing your life habits, all you are doing is just pumping bilge water out of a sinking ship.
As someone close to chiropractors in real life, I'd say you can seek them if the alternative treatment the doctor suggests you is the butchering table, aka surgery. By that point, you have little to lose even if the treatment is ineffective.
More importantly, I'd say it depends if the professional is good or bad, as a bad doctor can still kill you regardless if the activity is legal, if the guy has a valid degree or works in a credible institution.
I've seen them fix pretty nasty stuff, but just like any medical treatment, it's no panacea. People where I live would seek them either by word of mouth from a previous patient or out of sheer desperation, as they are forced to choose between that or get a surgery directly on their spine.

Look for a physiotherapist instead. They can usually figure out what you can do day-to-day to mitigate the pain. Chiro did basically nothing for my back pain but a physio taught me stretches and lifestyle changes which genuinely helped.

If you're in the US, look for a D.O. They're medical doctors with additional training in alignment/stretches. If you're outside the US, avoid them as the standards aren't well regulated.
Man I really hate that. Tried to watch this series a few weeks ago. Got to the part of the first episode where this bitch decided she was going to electrocute this guy because he... I don't fucking know, but for all I could tell because he tried to stop some other guy from bothering her because he knew she could electrocute him, which she actually did along with the other guy's friends while they were chasing down this protagonist to beat him. And then she also wanted to electrocute Mr. protagonist. Christ, what a nonsensical description of events, but I swear the anime wasn't making any more sense. And the worst fucking part of it all being that I knew Mr. protagonist was going to befriend this baffling bitch, probably without even beating her to a pulp first! Maybe I'll try watching this one again some day, but I'm not looking forward to it.
How can one man be so bold yet so incredibly wrong?

Yeah I don't like that either, but I'll give the series another try.

By quitting an anime right when it looks really bad, which (on a quick second glance) turns out to be about a second or two before it hints that it's not that bad. As for the correlation between boldness and error: It's a lot easier to never be wrong if you just keep your mouth shut. But it seems cowardly and not a good way to learn.
This is all just talk just an anime on the internet, it doesn't requires much valor or the equivalent sort of discretion.

Like this?
bunkhead said in comment #2577494: you and your fellow gestapo goons don't care about the law and constitution. So don't go talking about understanding the other side because you yourself don't want to.
And you still haven't answered my question, by the way: What did I say that indicated to you that I was unwilling to understand "the other side"?

It's just a cute image, not really the right website for this sort of discussion.
