Pretty unanimous with liberals today. However, we have to remember she is fucking ancient and back when her career started there were still liberals who believed in government spending.

What? She’s always been socially liberal but fiscally conservative and in the pocket of big businesses.

She has always lived a privileged life who got where she is today because of her family connections. Her father was a congressman and her brother in law was a long term member of the county and city advisory board for San Francisco. Her husband is the head of a venture capital and rel estate investment group.

Well, I served in a special unit 20 years back and I can guarantee you that uncle sam will not put down money in one’s training if there’s a risk down the line that an expensive trained asset cannot be utilized for the median length of a career.

Having scoliosis as a kid will not prohibit you from any activity as a 30-40 year old adult if it isn’t prohibiting you from the same activity as an 18 year old.

Most people who are diagnosed with mild pediatric scoliosis naturally grow out of the condition without any effect. The children with curves great enough where it can potentially affect their future performance can be corrected with orthotics solutions like a tlso. Children who present with curves greater than what can be treated with orthotics were never going to have the chance to join the military in the first place.

That’s not how any of this works…?

The state and federal government are not combing through the notes and diagnosis codes that I input in your medical record when you were 13 if you go to join the military, let alone a cop or firefighter.

Hell, I can’t even go through your previous medical records unless the previous facility you went too uses the same electronic medical records system i do and grants our hospital access.

The only thing that would happen if a provider failed to put down that you were diagnosed with scoliosis is that you would lack medical coverage for scoliosis related care if you needed it.

Also, nobody cares if you had scoliosis as a child if it isn’t affecting you as an adult. Hell, the military probably doesn’t care if you currently have scoliosis if you can pass the physical test.

I mean…the second is more truthful. I don’t think having compassion for a horrible person is a good thing. The guy is largely responsible for the deaths of over a million people.

Yeah… Cohen’s version kinda just sounds like you’re going to church with a beatnik choir.

Tbh, I think the only problem with its use in watchmen is that they didn’t use the Jeff Buckley version. The song Hallelujah is an intersection of faith, sex, and the human experience, so lyrically the song fits the movie’s theme. I just think Cohen’s version lacks any sex appeal…so people tend to just focus on the religious overtones of the lyrics.

I think if they used Buckley’s instead of This no one would have batted an eye.

General slip-and-fall doesn’t seem like it would be highly gendered.

The amount of falls I’m guessing is fairly similar, but older women are a lot more likely to end up in the trauma ward from it. For one there are just more old women than old men in my area and they are far more likely to have osteoporosis.

Do you find pool injuries are overwhelmingly one sex?

I generally see a lot more young men and boys from injuries from the pool. More rough housing, diving, and running around on wet concrete.

Part of my job is fitting people with custom bracing in the trauma ward. I realized this wasn’t the US because there were so many cyclists, and it was lacking an atv category.

In my state the trauma ward has an ATV season. Also, I’m surprised there wasn’t a subcategory for pool injuries, or at least a category for slip and falls. Are swimming pools not very popular in the UK?

people who actually want to spend $ hunt down that liquidity it will stay locked down on someones imaginary goldpile

Can’t do that… That would ruin everything. Just take out a loan against your imaginary goldpile.

Honestly surprised he didn’t maime himself. Every time he swung down with his lead foot planted in front of himself it made me cringe a little bit.

If anyone here ever has to chop wood, be sure to stand with you feet shoulder width apart and only chop strait down. That way if you bounce off the wood or miss, you don’t chop into your shin or foot.

Yeah… Dan Abnett is the pretty much the only writer keeping the black library from being a huge pile of trash.

Something tells me you’re not nuanced in the use of sarcasm…

Great rebuttal…really proves you know what you’re trying to talk about!

No it is proof that it is true because a system that does not have the data to create an experience cannot create the experience.

You claimed that dreams were unconstrained by sensory input… A limitation caused by the lack of sensory input is a natural constraint.

am 100% saying the body is a computer with sensory attachments I have no idea where you go the things about peripheral and central nervous system from.

Cognitive science? The brain and peripheral nervous system develop and act together. You cannot have one without the other, and if you damage one you damage the other. There is no natural or logical delineation from sensory input organs and the brain. A lot of the processing, especially from reactive functions don’t even require the brain, and are handled by just the spinal cord.

The idea that the body is a computer with sensory attachments is outdated. Our metal and physical development is a reaction of us engaging with our environment on a physical level.

reality is something we aren’t capable of understanding because it exists outside of our set of sensory input unless we can use tools to collapse information to within our range of sensory input.

I would say that reality consisist of what we can engage with in either a physical or metaphysical way. If it’s simply something that we can’t either mentally or physically interact with, then it is definitionally unimportant.

Tibetan buddhists are suggesting which is the non dual reality of experiencing things through the lens of perception.

While I accept a dualistic version of reality, I propose that perception alone is not what determines reality. I think embodied cognition gives us a much more accurate depiction of reality we engage with.

For example, without a body what is a bicycle? Through just pure observation alone, it is nothing but a chunk of odly shaped metal and plastic. It is our physical interaction with the bicycle that gives it its true meaning.

Reality is not just what we observe, it is what we interact with on a physical level.

It might be in the sense that the algorithm recognizes that it’s a new bubble to dump money into for a quick return. But that’s just what the stock market is nowadays. Corporations have cornered the rest of the markets through conglomeration or monopolistic exploitation, and have cut cost as much as possible. There’s not really a lot of ways to keep line going up other than throwing it into a new bubble and hoping you can get out before it pops.

Investment companies are just running out of places to keep their investments, which is why basically all tech corporations are massively over valued.

People blind at birth dream of perceiving hearing unconstrained by sensory input so yes it is true still even for people blind from birth. I have a friend who is this case actually.

Right, but your original claim was that it was unconstrained by sensory input. The fact that they lack the ability to dream up sensory information they have no previous sensory input for is proof this claim is not true.

My point is that you are making an unfounded delineation between sensory input and the brain. That the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system should be viewed as a whole system reliant on each other, rather than a computer with sensory attachments.

There is nothing narcissistic about it because it only proves that we are individuals with individual experience, something that everyone has been aware of for a long time, we still all operate on the substrate that is outside of our body with its brain and sensory organs.

People having “individual experience” does not preclude people having shared experiences, and shared experiences do not preclude individuality. Your claim is only supported by an underdeveloped preconceived notion of perception and it’s effects on cognition.

What you are arguing is similar to Solipsism, which basically boils down to “I can only prove to myself that I process consciousness, and everyone else’s experiences are just subjective observations”. Which means if all observations are subjective in nature, then a person can only really prove that they themselves posses “real” consciousness.

Now that might not have been your original point, but it is the natural conclusion of the argument. And others have thought it out and argued against it for a long time. It’s known as the The Problem With Other Minds.

Dreaming is perception unconstrained by sensory input

That’s not really true… Dreaming is a cognitive function that is still limited by how we engage with our surroundings normally. Congeniality Blind people do not see in their dreams, and deaf people do not hear.

Reality is dreaming constrained by sensory input

Imo that is a bit of a narcissistic way to view reality. Reality is shared, and not defined by an individual person’s sensory input. There are natural laws that persist even if there is no way for a person to perceive them.

Hi there, I actually work in orthotics and prosthetics and handle the majority of my clinics foot and ankle patients.

So, from what you’ve described I’m guessing you are having medial ankle pain from overstressing your posterior tibial tendon. It’s very common for people who have flat feet and are increasing their activity levels.

The first thing I would recommend is a good shoe, which is not an easy ask now a days. Shoe companies found out that if you make a super flexible and soft soled shoe it feels great as soon as you put it on in the store which gets people to buy them. However, the flexible sole and soft foam will allow people with fallen arches to over-pronate even more, eventually stressing out the hind foot.

The soft soled shoes will feel great for the first hour or so, and then they will start to overstress your tendon and ligaments. Where as a good quality show with a nice stiff sole can take a week or so to break in until they get really comfortable, but support you all day.

As far as a good show, I’m not particular towards any brand as long as it’s stuff from the balls of the feet back. But a decent shoe to control overpronation is the adrenaline from brooks. I always suggest looking up last year’s model online for savings.

For a good OTC insert for pes planus I usually fit my patients with this insert, they can be a bit pricey but they’ll last a lot longer than other OTC inserts and do a better job.

I’m not too particular with OTC inserts either. Just be sure that the material in the arch is strong enough to support your weight without being so stiff that it feels like your stepping on a rock.

What I’m saying is that for example, dreams are not real, and yet they can and often are indistinguishable from reality, many even have dreams where they are aware they are dreaming and can control them the same way we can control what we do while awake.

I think to adopt that argument you have to be operating on some preconceived assumptions.

Dreams are “real”, in the sense that they are propagated by measurable physical phenomena. Just because some people can experience an amount of choice in their dreams, does not mean they are interacting with “reality”.

This is only possible because we have bodily systems for producing experiences

Again… Experiences needs to be defined. There are a lot of theories about how we engage with the world around us in both a physical and metaphysical way.
