I understand what you are going through and am sorry I cannot solve it for all of us in this boat. I try my best not to dwell in the past and be angry, but its so hard when the past's errors and slights affect your quality of life ever

I went through immunotherapy several years ago, for an iatrogenically induced issue which angers me more, and I think it permanently damaged me. I was quite sick for a while after and have never felt "the same" as before. I know t

I've been through that over and over with doctors turning hostile and outright lying and am going through it again now after the worst year I have ever had pain wise. I never took a LOT by any measure, in fact very small doses just to

I didn't downvote you. I tried to sue after hearing from multiple doctors abroad how badly it was done and how I never needed it, but it's not like people think from TV and "common knowledge". It's hard to win malpr

I fight this urge every day because of pain and have great empathy for both you and your wife. I was left in constant pain by badly done and, ultimately unneeded surgery. I have been off and on medication for many years now and have fought

I have told my story over and over so anyone truly interested can look in my history as I won't write it all again, but I lost my life due to America's system and have sunk further as an ironic consequence of only having access to

I love the Polish colloqualism for it, "małpa" meaning "monkey" because of the curled tail.

Do you still enjoy it and how do you keep your love for it? I took up writing for a bit years ago because I love stories and reading, but I quickly found out I hated actually writing. I enjoyed ideas, intros, getting started...but none of t

I envy and truly admire people who suffer such adversity and who live good lives. I don't know if its because they usually never knew any different so can't compare, or if they just have an innate mental strength I do not. After l

Works great for kg/lb conversions too. kg x2 + 10% = lbs lbs /2 - 10% = kg I've yet to find a fast one for C to F temp conversions though. It takes a bit longer to do the 9/5-5/9 + or - equation in your head.

I get really stressed out driving without knowing the area/route ahead of time. With so much poor city planning out there, whenever I wing it I tend to end up in dead ends or winding cul-de-sac heavy areas where you can see where you n

I do. I worked in healthcare and the overwhelming majority of patients are legit. Same with any category where people are cynical and project that cynicism onto the majority. When I became a patient I became a victim of this categorization.

I feel you. I have RSD, a related disease, and even today half the doctors I see either dismiss it or do not believe in it. I went through YEARS of blame and denial before a very kind specialist in Europe spent time with me and gave me answ

It's interesting how one or two dissenting views amongst a majority neutral or even supportive results in "This place is <insert bias> now!" I wonder why absolute agreement is required for some people to not feel attack

Not rude at all and happy to give input, however my circumstances are different than those with MS/ALS etc so not sure how relevant it will be. I can still "technically" walk, move, appear fairly normal outwardly, I am just i

I remember when Skype debuted and after only crackly POTS calls as a reference point, the clarity whilst speaking from the USA to a friend in Berlin was AMAZING. I am not sure of dates but at some point it started to decline not just in cal

I had assumed from the title it was about AI rather than a proxy brain, but as someone with a damaged meat bag and miserable QOL as a result, I long for a transfer into an artificial body/brain where once can repair/replace parts

I hitchhiked quite often in Europe around the turn of the century. Something that was unheard of in my suburban middle American youth. It seemed like the most normal thing in the world in Central Europe/The Baltics especially with trav

Aviation proves that untrue. Mostly people follow them. That some will not doesn't invalidate their worth. I am always confounded by people who argue everything isn't good enough, and then nothing ever changes as a result.

I was trying to find a razor that means the opposite of Hanlon's since I find malice/greed etc is far more often the cause of problems than stupidity. Seems there is no accepted named one.

This is extremely common in middle America where I live. People using social services but opposing it for others. They believe they have earned and deserve it, and the others are abusers who haven't.

He really isn't. He hits the rumble strips constantly when staring at his phone, and it only takes a second of inattention to kill someone. Being lucky so far isn't proof of competence. This attitude is the exact problem I was add

They fail because of egos and arrogance. This is the root cause of a lot of life's problems. People think they are above it and too smart etc. They hate being "told what to do". An example, I have a family member who will com

Yeah I read some article years ago saying they were embroiled in lawsuits. I am surprised they are still claiming the M400 is "in development" after this long. Sadly seems more of a long term money siphon than any real project.

It's fun to think of other ways one might interpret the sign in the article's main photo if social convention changed enough it wasn't obvious. A machine that can reanimate the dead perhaps? Energy that can turn bones into a
