Woman accused of faking symptoms of debilitating illness dies aged 33
My wife has EDS inherited from her mother. Doctors recognized it in both of them, but only her mother is eligible for financial support. While my wife doesn't even get a handicap parking card. Government doctors refuse to recognize it in her.
EDS is very misunderstood because they have good and bad days, and it doesn't show externally. So when she has a good day and can walk, she goes outside. Only to be accused of faking it the next day when she can't get up because they saw her walking.
If I wasn't there for her, she'd be on the streets. Yes, this also happens in countries where health care is almost free... but not for her, she is completely abandoned by government docters while she has all the necessary reports from the hospital doctors.

Vegans are fine, it are those that enforce/demand it from others that are radicals, all radicals are lunatics.

Being in the way of cars deserve to get you killed apparently
My policy is: if you are weaker, you have to be extra carefull and give way to the others.
Usually in this order: pedestrian < bicycle < motorcycle < car < truck
This has served me well. No reason to risk your life in competing even if you are in the right. Being in the right serves you nothing when you're dead.

I've heard some schools are reintroducing it now, but that doesn't help those that never learned.
Can someone explain why one cannot read cursive? It is just a tilted (sometimes fancy) font, what's so hard about it?
Edit: After being made aware by a fellow lemmy'er and googling it, it seems I confused cursive with italics, English is not my first language. Though I learned cursive at school when I was 6 without realizing it is called cursive in English. It was part of the basic curriculum at that time, didn't know this wasn't a thing in other countries.

Study: Foods like ice cream, chips and candy are just as addictive as cigarettes or heroin
That's some bs here. Been snacking for dinner all my life. Few months ago started a diet and dropped all those things. I never had shivers or flue like withdrawal symptoms like with meds.
I miss the taste but I had no problems at all, just show character and stay on target. I lost 10kg on 3 months just by quitting snacks.
I once was unvoluntary addicted to valium because I took it a long time for back muscles relax. If you want to wean of that, that's addiction with daily vomiting for weeks. That is hell, it makes quitting sugar mean nothing.
Edit: just to clarify where I came from. My breakfast before work was kinder bueno, franchipan cookies and redbull... every day

Do you prefer the headphone jack to be at the top or at the bottom on a phone, and why?
Same side as the charging port. All cables must come out at the same side.

While the US and EU are putting up barriers to Chinese cars, Australians are buying them at record levels
If EU manufacturers didn't charge 35k for a car that barely fits 3 people, we wouldn't need to turn to these chinese cars.

Marvel just should've called her "black window", it's more realistic that way.

Are you registered to donate your organs? Why or why not?
No.
My mom got double brain aneurism. Had her head cut open to put clamps on the leaking arteries.
Slipped into a coma, few days later doctor came in to convince us for prepping her for organ donor, dad said it was too early.
Another few days later doctors came in being really rude that all she was good for was organ donor. Had a heated conversation with my dad who got tired and said "fck off doctors".
Few days later she woke up. After revalidation she has a healthy life, this was 37yrs ago, she still lives, she is 71.
My dad told my awake mum and since I was underaged opted me out for organ donor. Needles to say, I am reluctant to opt myself back in.
Optional read: aftermath of the aneurism is that the part of the brain to process visual data was damaged. Other parts of her brain took that role but is not as effective. Her depth perception any further that 10m is gone. She has no vertical peripheral processing, so she has to tilt her head up or down to recognize what she noticed i' her peripheral, one cannot imagine this seeing something but unable to recognize until you point your head at it :) in the end, very good outcome.

How do I stop hating children?
I have exactly the same. Therapy doesn't work. There is no cure other than faking it. You have to let your rational mind win from that primal repulsive feeling. I also feel immense guilt for feeling this way about innocent little humans.
I still avoid children when I can. This has created a gap between my friends and me, they all have kids. I never go to their place, we always meet in public. I never told them but I think they know, because they don't treat me differently when I tactically withdraw when children get involved.
Interestingly this is measurable. I have a garmin watch and whenever children are close for 15 mins, I get a relaxation reminder telling me to do breathing exercises. So this mental defect manifests itself physically.

Henry VIII's armor from the Tower of London. Interesting cod piece
Imagine hitting a dent in that bulge. Metal doesn't dent back out, I'll be a struggle to walk or strip your armor while it is crushed the entire time.
It is today's equivalent to catching it between your zipper.
