I was denied asthma medication by a pulmonologist because I am of child-bearing age. I argued hard that pregnancy was not a consideration for me - I'm asexual AND on the pill for horrific periods (for which I've also been denied surgery because 'maybe I'll get married and he'll want kids") and he still wouldn't give me the medication he thought if I really needed. Medical care for women is fricking insane sometimes!
Damn, that is messed up... I live in a third world country, and our healthcare would never refuse treatment for 'childbearing age', only if there is suspicion the woman is already pregnant, and even then only if it made it dangerous for one or both lifes, and the person has the choice in the end... Sometimes I wonder how things become like this
Fellow female Ace, the discussion around fertility is INSANE! I got my tubes removed four years ago, I have constant bleeding issues, and my gynaecologist was sick, so I had someone else for my appointment. He outright told me he would have never allowed me to get the operation, and 32 was too young to know. He spent 15 minutes ranting about it. I had discussed a game plan with my own dr with what steps to take. He completely disregarded it and said he wouldn't allow me to have a hysterectomy because I could still get pregnant with IVF. He didn't bother to read my chart, 8 months prior, I had my uterine lining burnt away. Because pregnancy after the NovaSure is extremely dangerous and deadly
I love the "future husband" excuse because, like... Why would someone who doesn't want children choose to be in a relationship with, let alone marry, someone who does? And even if they got into a relationship before discussing the possibility of starting a family, I'm pretty sure they'd break up the minute they realized they don't want the same things in life. No sane person forces themselves to have babies and be miserable for the rest of their lives just to make someone else happy. Not to mention there's no shortage of men who don't want to be fathers either. The whole excuse literally relies on anti-logic in order to make a lick of sense, because it assumes that: A.) Childfree women are willing to/have no choice but to change their minds for their partner. B.) All men want children. and C.) There's no such thing as ending a relationship and finding someone better suited for you.
Another ace here! I was on meds containing isotretinoin (synthetic vitamin A basically) for my horrible acne problems. The medication is so strong that my liver was pretty badly damaged even though i was taking additional medication to prevent it. The high concentration of vitamin A can damage a fetus severely and because i was a “woman of child-bearing age” (i just barely turned 18) my dermatologist made me sign a legal document that i understood the risks of taking this medication and that i was properly informed about the consequences of getting pregnant while on the meds (which wasn’t a risk for me obviously but i was still given hormonal contraceptives just in case). I think this is the best way to go about it, denying medical treatment is a horrible thing to do and at the same time a doctor is covering their ass should something happen and people would want to sue.
I have a similar experience. I have pretty bad psoriasis and we talked with the doctor that if the medication I’m on won’t work, we could start another one but I shouldn’t get pregnant even after a few years of not taking it. I told him I’m not having kids since I have other health issues and he was like “okay, call me if you need to get that medicine”. After that I went to the nurse to get another appointment to the doctor. She asked what he said and I told her what our plan was. Before I knew it, I was having an argument about me having kids in the future because “I might change my mind” and she couldn’t accept the fact that my body can’t handle a pregnancy. And she thought it was better to bleed from my hands, feet and scalp and lose my hair than not get pregnant. I made a complaint about her behavior and she had to call me and apologize 😂
Well being gay doesn't mean you'll never be a mother (I assume that you being pregnant was meant?) as donor sperm and IVF are real and are used frequently, but I wouldn't really worry this much as a doctor, I mean make the patient take a pregnancy test now if you are worried, give instructions to drop the meds if they plan the pregnancy and here you go. Also some meds and even foods may be bad with ADs, that's what regular checkups are for (when I was on ADs, I had to meet with my doctor every week, then two weeks then at least once a moth to check how I feel and whether the meds work as well as to renew the prescription). So, in conclusion of my rant the denial for that reason was dumb, no matter patients identification and sexual preference. PS being sad and/or dead also is quite harmful for young mothers indeed
When I was in college I lost the love of my life to a car accident. I became extremely depressed and suicidal. My friend took me to a therapist at the university. She actually told me that because I put makeup on that day I couldn’t be THAT depressed. I left the session feeling invalidated AND guilty for not being depressed enough. It’s a horrible thing to say to a person.
@@fadeddahlia yep. I had a psychiatrist tell me I couldn't be that depressed because I'd gotten dressed to leave my home for the appointment. No, not dressed as in "change out of pajamas", dressed as in "wearing clothes". Yeah, I can't imagine why I put on clothes to leave my home, you know besides the fact it was the middle of winter and it's illegal to be nude in public where I live.
If I were a professor at that university, and heard about this, I would be _on the war path_ to get that therapist fired. Because someone like that _could kill a person with a mood disorder._ Someone like me, Internet Uncle-Gay🏳🌈, who was blaming himself _for causing it to rain and ruin the weekend_ when I was _7 years old._ Major Depressive Mood Disorder has been with me for a long, long time, and I have not been able to forgo medication, because I have deficient neurochemistry. So I take a very, very, _very, _*_very, VERY DIM VIEW_* of any therapist who does not listen to their patient. Like, you're not a fscking telepath; you have to go with what the patient is saying [and trying very obviously to avoid saying], not with pop-sci opinions & misinformation about what a "depressed person" looks like. Seriously, this degree of malpractice _would have killed me_ when I was 23 and in the middle of my worst major depressive episode. I hope you were able to find someone to help you with your grief. Things like this get me _heated._
About the woman denied treatment for her headaches: cluster headaches are so severe they're sometimes called "suicide headaches" because people who had them sometimes killed themselves because of how horrendously painful they are. So yeah, they denied her treatment for that on the off chance she might get pregnant sometime in the future.
Fr that’s cringe af, let the woman have the meds, gen alpha was screwed up as it is I can’t even begin to im- Right, right, don’t bring generation crap into this. They should just give her the meds, forget about the hypothetical children, headaches suck and I can’t even begin to imagine what cluster headaches must be like. Healthcare is a joke, but that one misogynistic one only your conservative family laughs at
The "no treatment cuz you child bearing age" thing is probably even worse considering they will sometimes also deny women who want to have their tubes tied in case her hypothetical future husband wants kids.
I have actually had this happen to a friend of mine. Meanwhile her uterus is wrecking havoc on her body and she has basically had a period for about 16 years straight.
Yeah it is absolutely ludicrous that a hypothetical man that she hasn't met and may never meet at all should have more control over a woman's body than she does.
I have a couple of medical conditions where I could die if I had a baby. It was very clear in my chart. Also I didn't even want kids. It was hard to find a doctor to help and they ALMOST sent me to counseling instead. Fortunately I was able to get it at 21 years old. The insurance wouldn't cover it before then. If I was married, I would have to get permission from my husband and if I didn't have disabilities, I'd have to wait until I was older and/or had a certain number of kids. I'm in my 40's and I still don't want kids. Apparently women aren't capable of making decisions for themselves and must have all these laws placed on their bodies. Men can easily get a vasotomy just by walking in the doctor's office without their wife's consent and without all those restrictions.
When my Father died, we didn't bury him. We actually cremated him and let his ashes be made into diamonds. For me it's a real diamond, it is a piece of his soul that is now with my younger sister and my mother
@@3CatsInATrenchoat lots of crematories now offer things like this, mixing ashes into various objects, commonly referred to as memento mori. But different places offer different things. The place we took my mom to said they could mix her ashes into molten glass and turn that glass into pendants, hand-blown vases, medallions, rings, or a glass incense burner. She didn't want anything like that done and neither did we, but I thought it was interesting nonetheless. Most people can pay in advance for the crematory service(s) they want after they pass, that's what both my parents have/had.

As a Dutch person, it irritates me to see news articles say that she was 'set to be'. She FOUGHT to be euthanised. She chose for it, fought for it, her family and atleast three psychologists had to approve if I'm correct, SO MANY medical obstacles... I hope she rests in peace, in an afterlife if she believed in one ♡
she needed actual help. She tought that being autistic with depression and anxiety was enough to end her life. my brother in christ, I have that too, + adhd. and I lived with insane panic attacks and anxiety disorder for years. but it got better, with proper medication and treatment. she needed actual help.
@@al3xisd3ad i'm not generalizing. I wanted to die when i had daily massive panic attacks that made my everyday unbearable, and it truly felt like there was no end, no solution. nothing. I'm just saying that a chimical disorder in the brain can be fixed. it's obviously not easy, but it's not impossible. Obviously I'm not her psy, but I feel like they didn't try enough.
@@LeoBladini You do realise that her family, ATLEAST three psychologists, a board of medicine had to ALL sign on this? They wouldn't do that if there was no reason to do this. SHE COULD NOT BE TREATED. There is NOTHING they could have done that would have helped. They tried everything. You may have depression too, but you will never know what it was like for her as everyone is different. I'm disabled to hell and back, and I get her. I will not judge her and the medical team's decision.
Just for context on that case where the woman was denied treatment for cluster headaches - cluster headaches are frequently called "su*cide headaches" because of how painful they are. People KILL THEMSELVES to escape the pain. She should absolutely sue, and if it was up to me, I'd bring charges of criminal negligence against the doctor.
I have clusters and was thinking the same thing. They aren't just "headaches". A common misconception is that migraines are the worst type of pain like this - people tend to say 'migraine' when they mean 'very severe headache' or to be taken seriously - but on the pain scale a cluster headache is more severe than natural childbirth or amputation without anesthesia. Yet even medical professionals will downplay the diagnosis simply because it's "a type of headache." The behavior of that doctor was abhorrent.
As a person who gets cluster headaches, they are quite literally the worst pain I've ever experienced (especially when combined with other symptoms) and I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy.
@@rayethequeerdo Exactly. It takes *every* type of support (medical, social, emotional ect) to endure them even when you have access to treatment. That doc was not just gross and dismissive - it was *evil.* --- Also, I hope you have/are getting everything I mentioned above - if not, I'd be glad to help out. I've had my diagnosis since Obama was in office so I've run the gambit and don't mind doing what I can for another 'clusterhead'.
In my country that would be highly illegal. Meaning it wouldn't just be a civil case, but a legal one too. Thankfully. Sadly many people don't know that, or don't know how to stand up to that kind of doctors (I'm usually one of them). One day though, not for cluster headache, I got this "but what if you get pregnant (for context, I'm a trans guy, but the change isn't yet through legally and I'm not really passing)?" thing too. I wasn't denied treatment, but he was repeating that A LOT obviously to convince me to not follow through with the procedure/test/medication thingy (english no first language, me bad, lol). It was annoying and uncomfortable and I told him "As a doctor I think you know it needs some fucking to get someone pregnant, right? Well, I'M the part that fucks my partner, so I'm pretty sure you understand that I'm not at risk." He then wanted to drop the topic, but this time I kept it up. Telling him if he's afraid for a potential foetus he was welcomed to remove my uterus and if he was christian (I've nothing against that, just using it for the argument), because than I could alert him, if I got pregnant without being entered. Stuff like that. Oh. And an 18 year old can pump up their breasts to the size of their own head, but at 40 I need the OK of a psychologist to get the brothers removed. It's really so sick.
@@lethfuil I wish you the best in your transition. While situations like that are awful I was amused when reading your story because I'm the same way. I have *definitely* dealt with doctors and medical staff by giving them *so much information* they became uncomfortable. At this point, it's second nature and if they think I can be embarrassed they're *very* mistaken.
I'm not paying a blood tax of $10,000 to $50,000 on a wild-grown diamond when the lab ones are more ethical and affordable. Why would I make my life worse for the bragging rights that I'm a bad person?
I know wild grown diamond is technically the correct term, but it just feels so wrong. Also, agreed. People that think lab-grown diamonds are lesser compared to natural diamonds are insane. It’s compressed sparkly carbon.
I get they a pretty, but they are typically so small that to a casual observer, they don't really make a huge impact on the outfit when compared to a cheaper stone. If I ever propose to someone, I'd use a cheaper stone, but I'd make the ring myself. I feel spending the time to make something for them is a better indicator of how much I care for them.
The kid returning the gun was returning an air soft gun. The security guard wasn’t that store’s security guard, he worked for a nearby store and was off duty in his car. He saw the kid and came out with his gun pointed at him and screaming orders to place the gun down and back away. He claimed the kid and his buddy were ignoring his command and that’s why he shot but cctv showed them doing exactly what he ordered and the guy just saw the tiniest movement from the kid and freaked out and shot him…. and then STOOD OVER THE DEAD BODY AND CONTINUED SHOOTING HIM! America has too many people just waiting and fantasizing about killing someone and being “the hero” and the power of it… there’s so many stories like this or people getting shot dead for just knocking on doors or ringing doorbells. Madness.
What absolutely terrifies the shit out of me is that you get these stupidly aggressive cops all the time on the news, being scared of a fart or an acorn or something and going absolutely crazy with their guns when there's no danger at all. They get a week or two of unpaid suspension, have to apologize to cameras once, and they're right back in service. Meanwhile, people working in mental health facilities get freaking chairs and tables thrown at them, get regularly threated and sometimes get weapons pulled on them, and despite the fact that they can lock the patient in their room, they can't even try to physically restrain them without risking their job. They have to deescalate and control the situation without any form of personal protection. And you know what? They're usually damned good at it. So it really isn't about how risky the situation is. SWAT teams are justified, but not regular cops, they shouldn't even have a gun on their person
Remember, we are talking about the country that thinks you can reduce gun violence in schools by adding guns into school. By now I even think some people would still advocate for more guns even if their family would be killed in a shooting, they would rather die in a damn shooting as long as they can keep their dumb weapons. Those people are beyond reason or help.
@DustD.Reaper As an American, I agree with you. I don't understand why everyone is so pressed about wanting guns so badly if they know that they're so dangerous. I feel like the government could very easily implement some kind of procedure where, if you want a gun, you get asked why/get a background check and all that good stuff, and if they determine you don't have a risk of waking up one day and deciding to shoot down a school for no reason, then you can get it and keep it *at home* and not carry it *everywhere* with you like everyone wants to do. Gun rights (and heck, even things like abortion, gay marriage, etc) are so weird to me because everyone is just so upset about it when they could just mind each others business and be stricter about things that would actually kill people (guns, not abortion rights, which is a whole other rabbit hole)
It wasn’t his first rodeo, too. “Myers had tried to intervene in what he thought was a crime in March 2022, police said. He called 911 and told police that he saw a person on a bicycle pointing a gun at people, police said. He followed the person to a store until police arrived. Officers determined the person did not have a gun and posed no threat, police said.”
24:42 as someone on Tumblr once put it: "They didn't discover Mt. Everest until (insert discovery date here) but I'm sure the mountain still fucking existed."
I’m also pretty sure it was discovered before that date, too. History has a way of recording when “civilised” people “discover” things. Even though they are often led there by other people. Sorry for the aside, I just doubt there’s a recorded date for the first time someone said “that’s a big-ass mountain”. There was a time before that, regardless .
@@GretchZ Indeed! The Tibetans sure as heck knew about Chomolangma, i.e. Mt.Everest. And Wikipedia reveals that there's a Sanskrit name for it. Sanskrit is a language spoken as early as 3500 years ago [and probably earlier]. Mt. Everest is a _British_ name, so only dates back a couple of centuries. I say we ditch the last vestiges of colonial rule and call it Sagarmāthā [Sanskrit] or Chomolangma [Tibetan, which I'm spelling with a 'Ch' instead of 'Q' because the latter makes it look Chinese, and fsck Chinese colonialism of Tibet.]
25:25 My grandma was left-handed, but the public schools forced her to learn right-handed (this was in the 1950s). They used to hit her in the hands with rulers and stuff if she tried using her left. So part of the reason that left-handedness has increased is it is no longer being actively suppressed with violence.
My dad had this experience. I can still see the frustration in his expression when he talks about it. There's really no 'mystery' why you see more of something after people are no longer punished for it.
My parents were very progressive. They recognized that the world would be easier if I was right-handed so when the doctor indicated that I might be left-handed (1960s), they simply handed me everything in such a way that I used my right hand to grab it as an infant. No punishments needed when I got to school but I remain more ambidextrous than most right-handed people.
Heck, when I was an 8 year old kid in Sweden I had a very old teacher who "joked" that he would do it to me because "that's what we did in the good ol' days". I literally walked up to his desk, put out my hand and he took up a ruler, I pulled away and EVERYONE LAUGHED! This was like 2008-2010

From what I understand about the girl with headaches being denied treatment was her doctor wouldn't write her a prescription for the medication she needed because it would harm an unborn baby, she WAS NOT PREGNANT nor intending to become so, she was denied her medication over a hypothetical pregnancy she was of age to hypothetically have one day. I don't remember if she got her medicine or not, but I do remember her crying about it and me being very upset on her behalf.
Cluster headaches are especially horrific too. It's bad enough having chronic headaches and/or chronic migraine. But getting cluster headaches??? My heart instantly sunk at that part of the story. I hate how many neurologists are like that. I've dealt with a lot of problem doctors over the years, but it's especially pervasive in neurology. I've seen so many neurologists I can't even count anymore and only 1 was a decent person and doctor. It's so bad that I felt like I needed to come up with a way to describe the situation to others: Some neurologists seem to think their PhD came with special parking for their head up their rear. Now I've never taken an anatomy class, but even I know that's not where the head belongs. (One of the greatest moments in my life was when I made an experienced obgyn burst out laughing during an appointment with that quip. It just goes to show how real it is that neurology attracts a certain kind of ego compared to other specialties.)
I had to look up cluster headache (German wikipedia lists "suicide headache" as one of the alternative names …) and it absolutely sounds like something you'd want to have a kid or two on top of. /s
to me the 'funniest' part of this whole thing is that the (much less effective) medication they wanted to put her on instead often lowers blood pressure as a side effect. and she already had dangerously low blood pressue. as in, her blood pressure was already so low that she was at serious risk of just straight up dying if it fell any further, and they decided that that was the better alternative to risking harm to a hypothetical fetus.
@@xyecho Omfg... That's exactly the kind of arrogance I've dealt with repeatedly from neurologists myself though. They do. not. care. how much their method of handling things will hurt you. They're right, you're wrong, no matter what the reality is. 💀 My unmedicated state is literally potentially lethal to me and my months prior to getting on medication caused my primary care provider extreme worry. And yet neurologists still refuse to manage this medication for me because I'm "too young to be on such a dangerous medication". The concern? With longterm use there is a slight risk of partial-to-total vision loss, though the effect that causes this is typically gradual and is something that can be measured and thus does get measured a minimum of once per year (annual eye exams) when you're on it. But also, as someone who in less than 4 years went from fully able-bodied to needing mobility aids and now is working at getting a power chair due to sudden-onset and rapidly progressing disabilities, I would much rather go through the process of losing my vision from this medication than dying without ever being able to enjoy life in any way again (which is literally what would happen if I went without this medication for too long). I'm incredibly lucky that my pcp agrees that "keeping me alive" is a no-brainer better idea than "actively withholding care until I either die or capitulate to blindly (lol) following a neurologist's orders" because she's the only reason I'm able to get the medication at all. She wrote a script for me matching the original neuro one so that she can make sure I have access to refills. (Original neuro got pissed the medication helped (proving me right about my diagnosis without putting me through very dangerous and inconclusive testing) and also that my involuntary and unhealthy weight loss caused by the condition didn't cure my symptoms (proving her wrong), so during my second appointment she refused to work with me anymore unless I did everything her way from now on and without question. I obviously declined that generous offer. Unfortunately every neuro I've tried since has demanded the same obedience after proving their incompetence in the same way (insisting on the dangerous testing despite the risks, flaws, and lack of need).) And that's not even getting into how many times neurologists have tried prescribing me medications that would give me seizures, even after I tell them at least three different ways about my seizure history and risks, or the other ridiculous ways they "mess up"... (The one good neuro I had was from my first ever seizure which also happened in the middle of a university class. (I got incredibly lucky in a bunch of ways that day.) Unfortunately that means his specialty is far outside the realm of the condition I've been fighting neurologists over for the past couple years. It's not just this condition either. Migraine neuros are so bad the last time I got prescribed my migraine medication was several years ago.) Anyway, the autistic point of me sharing this stuff is just to illustrate how, despite the ridiculousness of it all, her neurologists aren't even close to the only ones who prioritize their egos above the literal lives of their actual patients. (And I'm furious for her and everyone else who goes through this crap.)
I'm trans FTM, and I've had doctors tell me I need to take a pregnancy test before surgery, even after I've told them I've had a hysterectomy and both ovaries removed. I'm just baffled that they didn't understand how that works. 🤔🤦
Yep. I mean, the queer bit is mostly biology, so no amount of shelter will prevent that part, but as for religion and politics? Yeah, typically the more you try to sheild kids from the outside, the more curious about it they tend to become. There's literally a whole dang trope about overly sheltered kids escaping their parental figgures, discovering their parents lies, and then rebelling. Like this is a well observed phenomenon folks!
My husband and i joked about making an "unethical lab diamond" company. Your ring will be shipped with the name of the intern we sacrificed to create your diamond lol. I dont understand why anyone would be against lab jewels except the diamond industry.
I just see lab diamonds as an unnecessary waste of power and money for a rock with no purpose other than the ability to say that you own it. There are so many other rocks we could shove on a ring yet all these companies keep insisting the superiority of this one that they keep wasting resources/lives to aquire them. I will say though that it is far better to waste energy than to waste lives however I will never see the point in wasting anything.
I don't like diamonds. Too much pain & bs associated with them. I do like a particular gem that is natural & ethically mined. The reason to like real gems over lab-created, for me, is to celebrate the awesome wonder of nature over the things mankind makes to mimic the wonder of nature.
The kid being shot for having a replica gun is worse than it sounds. He dropped it on the ground, then turned around with his hands up. He was walking away and moved his arm down a little and was shot because he was afraid he was going to do something. Trigger happy “security guard” who murdered someone.
The "security guard" was not working at the store. He was in his car in the parking lot. His son was playing nearby and he had taken it upon himself to "overwatch" the parking lot because "it was a bad neighborhood." The two children were returning an airsoft gun. The guy ran out of his car, pointed his loaded gun at 12 year olds, and demanded they drop the gun and back away. The kids complied, he still shot one of them as they were complying. The child fell face fist on the ground, bleeding, the man proceeded to unload his pistol into the child's back. I have not seen a report which mentions their ethnicity specifically, but their names sounded Arabic. He was a wannabe Rambo who failed out of the police academy who just wanted to kill someone.
@@TheUnspeakableh Thanks for the details. As for the ethnicity of the victims, everyone who lives in the US knows … we _know,_ from experience … that the victims weren't white, because there's no such thing as a white person being accidentally-shot by a cop [or rent-a-cop] because _it looked like_ they were carrying a weapon. Lived-experience allows everyone in the US to know, for a fact, the complexion of the victims of tragedies like this.
The more kids they have, the higher the chances they'll end up with more kids for "the other side" than their own. I just feel bad for the kids in situations like that. I grew up in a very religious and conservative home and it was filled with all manners of abuse for my siblings and I. The kinds of people who have kids with that kind of logic are not people who respect children as actual individual human beings with unique personalities and needs. They're extremely ill-prepared to be parents because having kids is all about them, not about helping small humans grow into psychologically and emotionally healthy adult humans who can live happy lives of their own.
I'm 38. 30 years ago, I sat in my class, with ("mild") ADHD, next to my autistic ADHD friend. The last row was an obese kid that got held back. Another kid in my class (my future first girlfriend) was allergic to basically everything (dairy, pork, eggs, pollen, citrus fruits, mother's milk, wool, ..). Another girl in our class was suffering from PTSD because she was a refugee from Kosovo. Not to mention all the immigrant kids who didn't learn German (the local language) from birth and had tutors PLUS cultural classes for their home country's traditions and languages. Yeah, 30 years ago was completely different to today. None of us were properly diagnosed or treated.
The whole outbreed them thing made me laugh. I'm the youngest of six kids born to incredibly conservative American parents, homeschooled all the way up till college, very much from a Christian fundamentalist family. Two of my brothers are currently still conservative. The rest of us are all some variety of left (by the American spectrum). Good luck with that.
The craziest thing about lack of media literacy these days is that people seem to forget that actors (and cosplayers sometimes) aren't actually the character. I genuinely can't understand how the brain rot gets that bad.
I suppose on one hand, it's kinda a compliment: They did such a good job of acting that people completely forgot _the entire concept_ that they might be just an actor playing a role... Still, it's a little disturbing to wonder what other things these people are not realizing about the world around them, and taking on face-value when they really shouldn't. I do remember one time when I was a freshman in college, though. There was a guy on campus who I saw walking around every so often, etc. I'd never met him, but for some reason every time I saw him I just really didn't like him. Like, hated his guts kind of feeling. I'd never experienced anything like that before, and couldn't for the life of me figure out why, and it was actually kinda disturbing that I was feeling these feelings about some random guy I didn't even know and couldn't figure out why. Eventually I actually figured it out: Shortly after I started college there, one night I had gone to see a student-run performance of a play. He was one of the actors in that play, and in the play the role he played was of an abusive husband. And because of that association, I ended up hating the guts of somebody I knew full well I'd never even met, every time I happened to see him walking across campus. It's kinda scary how the brain works sometimes. (I did actually meet him properly some time later, and he was actually a really nice guy.)
It's nothing new really. Back when Gilligan's Island was airing the coast guard and navy got letters from people asking why they weren't rescuing the castaways.
This isn't new though. I remember articles over 20 yers ago about soap opera actors who had played evil people being harassed. It was the plot in an episode of Psych, which is quite old.
Yeah it's really common. It's more parasocial bs. Like when people think they know an actor personally because of a character(s) they played in something. People are something...And that something often doesnt have much in the way of critical thinking.

Gotta love these "autism and adhd didn't exist 30 years ago!" people as though we didn't all know a kid who just loved trucks WAY too much and knew everything about them in extreme detail, and that kid who brought their own lunch because the last time they ate school lunch they were mysteriously absent for a week. Definitely not a peanut allergy, tho.
My dad (76) was sure he doesn't have ADHD, because "unlike this one kid in my class, my teacher didn't bind me with a rope to my chair, so the kid would stay seated."
"Back in my day" sounds way more old than "30 years ago" when you're a millennial 😅 I heard that one and I thought to myself, yes 31 years ago we realised I had a kiwi 🥝 allergy, because my grandma gave half to me and half to my sibling. But yeah, _no one had allergies 30 years ago_ lmao
7:45 Lab grown diamonds and natural diamonds actually AREN’T identical in every way. lab grown diamonds are symmetrical and near perfect, they’re purer, and not just for the lack of human suffering
On the breastfeeding subject, there's another solution: just look away. No one is holding your head in place, forcing you to look. You can just turn your head. It's basic good manors
The Click review: The satanic aura he gives me scares me deeply! He summons demons regularly, promotes the gay agenda, and speaks strange tongues (Swedish, German), he scares me deeply! ★★★★★
36:12 I had a dude insist that my huge stretch marks were really scars and that I was misinformed about my body. Actually argued with me until, I said, "Then why have I never been cut there ever?" The audacity and ignorance to do that is just astounding.
25:17: My grandma is left handed but she was force to be an right handed by the church, bc and I quote "Every child who is left handed is the devils kid and needs to be converted", that is the reason why our family doesn't go to church and that's why my grandma uses her right hand to write as she was forced to get used to it, even tho she should be costumed on using her left hand. It's very sad how some ppl are so cruel to other human beings just bc they are different than others
@@feuerling very true! in my experience, lab grown diamonds are much better for things like arithmomancy. but for divination, necromancy, or love spells you need to have organic diamonds for that lingering human suffering vibe in order for the spells to work.

@@GretchZ It depends. In Japan it's nothing sexual in itself, but used in English in a clear way, it's its own phrase, basically. A term. A tag. Nothing cringe about using it in the right context (which usually is just jokingly anyway). Cringe is people throwing around every single of the 15 japanese words they know, believing they're already halfway japanese themselves. Preferably whilst doing the Natruto run. We call them weaboos. Anyway, if you think sometimes using a word from a different language is cringe in general I must inform you that it's completely normal in other languages (yes, including Japanese), to do so. So, as much as you think an english speaking person saying "sugoi" is a nono, a japanese person will very likely say "cool" "great" etc occasionally too.
9:24 I think there’s something to be said about sex workers and the ability to consent at times. I’m for sex workers having bodily autonomy, they should be allowed to work if they need to/want to, but I don’t think it’s insensitive for a sex worker to say they weren’t fully able to consent because they needed the money/it was their job. Getting paid doesn’t negate the fact that for a lot of people, having sex with someone they don’t want to can be very traumatic. I know the word she used can be jarring, but I think it was meant to communicate this.
Fuck diamonds being the standard for wedding rings. I'd rather use literally any other gem. Hell I want a ring with an amber stone encasing a mosquito as a center piece with the band made out of steel. Then I can walk around using quotes from the first Jurassic Park movie and giggling to myself like an idiot!!
I picked out my own engagement ring. Its a simple rose gold band with a beautiful maroon garnet. It was way way cheaper and means way more for me. I'm all for using over gems
I think the reason most people go for diamonds instead of gems is that some gems aren't really scratch or break resistant as diamonds are. The idea is to wear that ring daily for decades, so it's supposed to withstand a lot of stress. A few months back my algorithm went down a jewellery rabbit hole, so now I know stuff about the Mohs Hardness scale and what settings one should choose the most if you don't want to loose your stone 😅
8:20 I would argue lab diamonds are more ethical than blood diamonds because while lab diamonds are being grown, a large percentage of blood diamonds are from the Congo, where people as young as 4 years old are forced to mine through unpaid labour. Which is slave labor, plain and simple
@@metrux321And used their monopoly to artificially inflate the price, and then ran possibly the most successful ad campaign to promote diamond consumption. That ad campaign is where the idea of paying two months your salary for a diamond engagement ring originated.

You know, when Magarat Hamilton had to explain to children that she is just playing Make pretend, and isn't ACTUALLY an evil witch. Thats cute I never expected that someone has to explain to an adult what a movie is.
An actor from a Telenovela who played the bad guy once had an old lady come to scold him. (That's what he said in an interview.) He took it with humour.
Alison Arngrim, who played Nellie Oleson in the Little House series, has said that random people have come up and tried to punish her for the actions of her character. Also, one person came up to her decades after the show and said "I forgive you". Absolutely wild stuff.
Appparently the actor who played Gunther on Friends was angrily screamed at in public by a viewer who was mad at him for his part in Ross and Rachel's breakup.
As much as the accusation of not being able to tell fantasy from reality gets lobbed at sci-fi and fantasy nerds, I've always found it's people who watch and read things *without* obvious fantasy elements that actually can't tell what is and isn't fiction in the media they consume.
The bit with the woman who killed her child with mountain dew happened LAST MONTH--not only was the daughter diabetic, but all of her teeth had rotted out, due to being fed almost exclusively mountain dew from a baby bottle. She died because of extreme malnutrition and diabetic ketoacidosis, and was declared brain dead at the hospital, having to be taken off of life support. ADDITIONALLY, this isn't the first time one of her children ended up in the hospital due to neglect. She also had a son who went into a coma ALSO FROM DIABETES, and when he came out of it and was sent home, he was never taken to any follow up appointments. She told the court that she thought she "was doing the best [she] could" for her kids. She was sentenced to 9 years in a correctional facility, with a possibility of up to 13 years depending on her behavior while jailed. Her husband was also charged for murder, child endangerment and involuntary manslaughter, with the same sentence as his wife. The little girl's name was Karmity.
Wow! There's a somewhat similar story in my family, with a somewhat happier ending. My aunt and uncle never wanted children, but an oops happened, and my cousin Iris was born. As an infant and toddler, she was never given any type of milk, only Pepsi to drink. She did survive with seemingly no harmful effects... we only found out the real side effects of doing this decades later. She's now in her mid to late forties and her stomach is almost non-existent now because her stomach has been literally eating itself from the inside out. This is directly caused because she only had Pepsi to drink as an infant and toddler. She has a hard time eating, and cannot even eat small portions at one sitting. She's constantly throwing up and is in constant pain. The doctors have made it clear she will die from this, but it'll take maybe another decade before it gets to that point. It's not a good way to either live or die. My cousin doesn't have diabetes, thankfully (or not, depending on how you want to look at it), which I would imagine is the only reason she didn't die as an infant or yet.
@@Shinigami2c2 That's terrible. I'm so sorry your cousin went through that. It's awful that she's still suffering from the decisions of people who shouldn't have had that kind of responsibility. I'm glad that she's had the chance to have a better life, despite the continued pain. I hope that medical advancements continue in a way that might give her a better chance.
@@Shinigami2c2 Okay, that's just horrifying. BTW: Carbonated Water is a mild acid [carbolic acid, I think?] all on its own. And soft-drinks often have phosphoric acid added both for flavoring and preservation. So dumping acid into a baby's stomach is just … no. Like, we'ree _mammals_ … we _evolved_ to consume mother's milk for the first several months of life. I'm so sad that your cousin has to live like that. :(
@@John_Weiss Yeah, it's strong enough that if you drink enough over a period of time, a normal person (not like my cousin) can develop gout from the carbonate acids. While I really feel for my cousin, I'm also really glad I'm not in her shoes. Gout by itself is painful enough.
34:00 I actually remember this. The person was posting their story on TikTok. They didn't plan to have children, were not pregnant, but the doctor refused to medicate them for debilitating headaches because she might want to have kids. It is disgusting and that doctor should have his license to practice taken away. It violates the "do no harm" that all doctors pledge.
24:08 Oh, absolutely not. more than 40 years ago my little brother was diagnosed with ADD by the school (now ADHD) and was forced to be put on Ritalin, which gave him tiks, by the school. He wasn't allowed to go back to school unless my parents took him to get medicated. It was a messes up time trying to get that quiet classroom that this Karen is going on about.
My cousin was also forced to take Ritalin as a child after being diagnosed with ADD. He now has a permanent speech impediment because of Ritalin. Since this happened, my family has been extremely anti-Ritalin and has refused to have either another cousin's son or my nephew to take the medication. While we aren't against medication if it is really needed, Ritalin is completely off the table. End of story.
15 years ago my mother's foster nephew was put on an insanely high dose of risperidone for anxiety and resulting violent outbursts, it shut him up most of the time but it also made him more explosive, it got rid of his rational fears and only left him with the irrational ones. Child psychiatry has an outside observer problem, symptoms are described by someone watching from the outside and symptom mitigation is judged primarily based on what an outside observer can see, it gets even worse when people like teachers are expecting visible results from medication.
When I was in school 30+ years ago, there was a huge spike of kids being put on Ritalin. Many of them weren't even considered hyperactive, but the parents wanted them medicated because they couldn't get their kids to sit in front of the TV and be quiet all the time. This is what happened with my cousin. My mom ended up taking care of him for a few months and his doctor told mom to stop giving him the meds. He couldn't even physically keep up with me or my siblings and I have a walking disability.
@dragonfliesnh4204 It was usually the school. Basically, the school would decide the kid was disruptive and say it's add or hyperactivity and tell the parents they can't bring the kid back to school until they were drugged up. The doctors were just like, well if the school says so...
When i studied in Britain i had opening of a bank account refused. They said that i have not provided enough proof of address... and they did inform me of that by post.
I've had my bank email me to tell me about things they did to my account without my permission after they "tried to contact me" by phone - even though it's on my customer record that I don't own a phone and they should contact me by email. They knew enough to contact me by email after messing with my account, so why couldn't they contact me by email beforehand?
I was raised in a christian family and, when the concept of heaven was first explained to me, the person explaining it (either the priest or my mum, I don't remember which) they mentioned that when people go to heaven they leave the unnecessary parts of themselves behind. This was meant to mean their physical bodies, but I did not interpret it that way. I decided that the least imortant section of the body was the torso and so clearly this meant that everyone lost it when they went to heaven, so the image at 1:30 is what I used to believe people in heaven looked like.
I was raised in a Christian environment (a very extreme and weird variety of Lutheran) and every description of… anything made it less plausible or pleasant. “In heaven, your are always happy, no matter what. It’s impossible to be sad.” “But was can see what’s happening on earth, right?” “So if I see a war or murder or something I still won’t be sad?” “Yes!” “That sounds awful!” That and the fact that almost nothing they taught even matched with the bible. They got very annoyed that I was reading it from the front. I’m Jewish, now. We still tack a bunch of stuff on and ignore stuff, but it’s more fun, there’s no hell, and you’re SUPPOSED to have your own opinion about stuff! Two of them, in fact. Most Jewish varieties are pretty queer-accepting these days, because two verses are pretty easy to interpret away.
@@GretchZ I mean... American bible, I presume? Found out last year that it is actually different from the, well, original bible, that you see in most of the world. Probably that lutheran thing, you know? Though to be fair most christians (of all different religions) don't actually follow what is said there, like "Thou shall not judge" or "Love others", so, you know... Problem with big numbers, people are dumb, yadda yadda...
Funny story here. I was raised French Catholic and when I was taught the Lord's Prayer, I was extremely confused. It doesn't really translate into English, so to explain it: In French, the words for Sinner and Fisherman are the same "Pecheure". I always linked the word to Fisherman and not Sinner. So I was always confused as to why God would only pardon the Fishermen and not everyone who sinned and if I had to fish in order to have my sins forgiven. I was in my last year of high school when I finally figured it out.
My dad said when he was little kids with serious autism and Down syndrome, were locked away in "special schools" and basically ostracised from society.
My uncle was in one that was really good. He had a "job" that was at his level of understanding/ability, he had friends that were like him, he even had a girlfriend. Plus they taught him sign language & PT/OT daily to help him maintain the ability to do his ADLs. I'm not saying that there weren't bad places but there were also good ones. After they closed the institutions where he lived one of my aunts took him home to live with her. But it was really hard to get him to socialize. He didn't get to be around people like him daily anymore. Can you imagine going from being in the norm to being outside of the norm & no one tells you why? Or makes sure that you are ok with it? My whole family embraced him but it had to have been really hard on, you know?
Allergies are probably referenced in the bible, that part in the old testament talking about not to eat sea food. Some theologians say it was mostly about certain people dropping dead for eating some shrimp/crab and went like: uhmmmmm seems dangerous, don't talk with anyone who eats that...
I think we should take the bible/thora and other religious scriptures as that: In those years there was no practical law (or not as wide spread as now it is) and no regulation on how people can live together in peace so these religious scriptures were made...
Nah, all it says over and over is how gross anything from the water without fins and scales is. “Things that come from the water are yucky and you should be grossed out by their dead bodies” is a flight translation of a verse. It literally commands how to feel. “These are the things that will be gross to you from the birds. They are gross.” Isn’t that a bit redundant? It’s practically a tautology! Birds have to have a crop (and some other factor I can’t remember), but then it lists a whole bunch of birds that aren’t kosher but since they don’t fit the requirements it’s kind of a waste of time. Know what makes a mammal kosher? Split hooves, and chewing cud. That’s it. Find an animal that fits that, and it is kosher (if it’s slaughtered in a specific way, so as to bleed out.) It’s insane nonsense. I keep kosher, btw 😂
Being from a desert myself, I always figured it was more a matter of shellfish goes bad really badly in the heat, but fish can be dried, salted, pickled, etc. Also like the lizard drowning in your cistern? Nearly all reptiles carry salmonella on their skin. Of course a dead lizard is going to make your porous clay cistern unclean. The rules for mildew also closely match those for black mold, just replace priest with mold remediation specialist. Pork is also known to carry trichinosis (not so much anymore if you get it from sources that follow proper procedures and you cook it throughly), but "that meat will curse you" would be pretty obvious.
@samarnadra The lizard and “cistern” (it’s a mikveh, which is a bit different) STAYS tahor if a lizard falls into it. Food containers don’t. I love that the order of operations for tzaraas (which is basically biblical Hebrew for “discolouration”) of the house is “leave your house for a couple weeks and hope”, “replace some bricks and scrub the bricks around it”, then “TEAR DOWN THE HOUSE”. I also love that if tsaraas covers your whole body, then you’re just fine.
26:12 My exact thoughts about the people on TikTok who like to start meaningless discourse over flags, labels, “double-D transmascs”, neopronouns and xenogenders, etc. It’s genuinely sad to watch people throw their own community under the bus so they can be “one of the good ones” and purposefully degrading themselves trying to gain the favor of a system that’s taking advantage of them. They have no idea they’ll be cannibalized as soon as they’re no longer useful to the political right.
19:00 yes. I remember a few years back 3 stories. 1) People asking how Kevin McHale (Artie Abrams in Glee) could walk due to him being in a wheelchair (in the show Glee) 2) An English actress (don’t know her name but I think she was on Coronation Street?) begging people to “Please stop sending flowers. My character on the show is dying, not me” 3) People calling after a reenactment saying “You had the person right there. Why did you let them go?” It was about a kidnapping I think
34:06 Denying treatment is absolutely disgusting and the hospital should be sued! When i was given very strong medication (isotretinoin, basically synthetic vitamin A for my terrible acne) i had to sign legal documents due to how harmful this medication is to a fetus. I was also given hormonal contraceptives “just in case” (although they helped lessen the amount of time i had to take the pills as the meds were absolutely devastating to my liver), not that my ace self needed them. That’s i believe the best way to go about it: you inform the patient about the medication and its consequences, you have all of it written down in paper just in case to cover your own ass. And that’s how it always should be done!
When I actually got pregnant, my allergist changed one of my medications and discussed the others with me. The general consensus was that we don't know if there is an actual problem with this medication or not because we haven't studied it yet in pregnant women but there have been no obvious issues and it is important for the fetus that mom continues to get enough oxygen.
@@wartgin My psychiatrist said the same thing to me when I discussed how I want to try getting pregnant soon. He said "There isn't enough evidence either way for these medications. My suggestion is to take as little as possible, but my biggest concern is you getting enough sleep and feeling emotionally stable during pregnancy." I've struggled with some doctors recently, so it was very validating.
The wrong address, numbers, etc. stories remind me of the time our home internet service got cut off. The internet company requires a landline phone number on file because they're also a phone company, and if you don't have one they'll assign one to your account. My husband missed a payment and they only tried calling that landline number that they assigned to us, that they knew did not exist because they're also the phone company and they weren't billing us for a phone service. They did not understand the issue when we called them.
Our postal system is also a wreck in Canada, they once told me that in order to pick up my package I needed an ID but I couldnt just send somebody on my behalf because it is MY PACKAGE and I needed to witness my package being picked up for me. They also told me that if the package wasnt picked up in 24hrs THEY WOULD BURN MY BOOKS
28:30 There is also the fact that close, platonic friendships between two straight people of opposite genders is something that's basically absent from popular culture. We are told from basically every single movie and show that when a boy and a girl enjoy one another's company, a sexual or romantic relationship is the expected result. Not to mention how parents react to kids who are just friends, teasing them about getting married and stuff. So when the copulation avenue closes, what the heck does the relationship even become? I can completely understand that many people find that difficult to imagine and navigate.
yea i think it’s very understandable to be upset that the only time a man would talk to u is if they wanna date you, maybe it’s a queer thing but i know many people who turned romantic rejections to really amazing friendships!!
It hasn't happened very often, but when visitng family in the US I have actually come across the (in)famous "why would anyone speak Spanish in Europe" person a few times. They do actually exist, it's not a myth,
Honestly, as an American, the time I've spent with my extended family has taught me to never doubt a story about someone's raw ignorance and stupidity.
I have depression and empathize with the woman who chose assisted suicide. It's a daily battle with our own brain, one that you can never truly win. You can negotiate a temporary ceasefire but victory is impossible. Fighting eventually becomes so tiring that death is a kind of relief, a peace. Finally the battle is over. We lost, but at least we get to rest now. I understand her and I'm glad she lives in europe, here where there are options for her and where she doesn't have to either fight until her body gives out or choose a more damaging way to go. I wish her peace.
i know it's kinda par for the course with depression but geez what a backwards, defeatist mindset. victory is absolutely possible, you just haven't found what works for you yet. you're practically encouraging sewer slide and that is nasty
3:24 there was another girl who requested euthanasia as well. The young lady was 17 years old. She was severly depressed, had anorexia and ptsd due to being raped twice at a very young aged. Her request for euthanasia was denied so she stopped eating. She passed away in 2019. For the lady in the article euthanasia was granted. She can finally rest.
I’m not trying to joke when I say this. Could one not just procure a large amount of opioids? I once had a wild animal bite and have hypochondria (but am generally chill about my concerns. “This hurts. Do I have cancer? I should make a doctors appointment in a couple days if it still hurts next week because it might be cancer”). So, as I spent the month of vaccines worried I might get rabies, I made a list of the ways I could go out if I started having symptoms. I knew people that were prescribed fentanyl, and that was up there. Obviously, I didn’t get rabies, because I’m typing this, but I gave it a lot of careful consideration, and “get really high and then stop being” sounded alright.
@@GretchZ Outside of America its much harder to get them. It's not that simple. Also, the people acting as your source could be charged as responsible for the death.
24:10 When I was in college, my best friend had a litany of severe food allergies, including to milk and egg protein and soy when she was younger. She loved cooking and baking and was super happy about the increasing variety of vegan foods. Once she told me that someone in her family likely had these severe allergies too, I think an uncle or great uncle or some such. That relative died. She was able to survive because they caught her being allergic to her mother's milk early (stuff the mother eats can end up in the milk) and put her on a allergy appropriate diet. People who were born before we could take care of severe allergies used to die, and people with less severe allergies would probably often just not know and have to make do with the symptoms. If you read any older stories, it's very common to have references to children and adults that are described as just "sickly" or "prone to illness" for their entire lives. That's probably due to a number of reasons, but "has some condition they were not able to diagnose or treat" I suspect is part of it. I'm left-handed and my grandpa was too, but he was trained out of it. If I had been retrained to use my right hand, I would have likely never been able to study arts and draw anywhere near as well as I learned to with my dominant hand.
34:00 that's actually really common if you have headaches and you have an uterus don't expect to be treated don't even expect to be taken seriously (at least after seeing multiple doctors in France)
Just make all the robots light pink. 30 years I was just as autistic as I am now. I was just so shamed and bullied, I kept quiet and masked and was suicidal in my teens. And honestly, humanity is stupid. I'm glad we're phasing ourselves out
Seriously, I will be happy for all the other species that survive after we've gotten rid of ourselves. They can survive just fine without us destroying their planet. They don't need us. Most of the diseases they are subjected to are our fault because we messed up the balance of something in their environment. Let nature take the planet back over, and sorry for our concrete & steel mess.
nonono, you have to make them light green or light purple. if they're pink, then you support the patriarchy and women being in a servitude role, and vice versa if they're blue. avoid yellow/orange because that would allude back to asians (/joking)
my dad wants me to turn him into a diamond when he dies so that I can put his diamond in jewelry and whenever people compliment it I say "thanks that's my dad 😊" 16:03 edit to add that I got a notice last week saying I owed $1700 in premiums for a health insurance I haven't had since 2020 from a place I haven't worked since 2020 💀
24:20 30+ years ago I was a kid in school with ADHD ( and potentially undiagnosed autism ), obese, I had friends with peanut and other food allergies and a classmate that was autistic ( diagnosed ).
Actually that headache thing can be very true. I have epilepsy and my neurologist has denied me the best medication for my specific seizures and also has the smallest and most mild side effects, because I'm "of childbearing age", even though I don't plan on getting pregnant an am using the best birth control that lasts for years so I can't miss a dose. He refuses to change that decision and opts to give me a mix of several medications in large doses that can have some really terrible (but not fatal) side effects. So now I'm depressed, fatigued, have insomnia, and it's harder to lose weight, and I have a greater chance of problems with my other organs because of a sexist guy who thinks all women should have to immediately start having children once they turn 18.
I don't blame woman who go to the waiting room after such appointments to yell "Dr. (insert name) is useless if you are a woman!" anymore That's a signal that the doctor is sexist
@@diarmuidkuhle8181 I tried to, but there are only 2 neurologists for adults here that deal with epilepsy. The other one has great bedside manner, is really inclusive and accepting, uses people's preferred pronouns and would never deadname you, respects bodily autonomy and the value of working with the patient on a healthcare plan, he's great! But he isn't taking any more patients right now. I even went the inside networking way of trying to transfer, with asking other healthcare professionals that work with him if he can take on a patients who's current neurologist is being discriminatory and dismissive. He said he'd love to but he can't. Makes me sad, but that's life in a province where most of the health professional only work with the elderly since there are so, so, so many older people.
18:58 I remember one time when I was a freshman in college. There was a guy on campus who I saw walking around every so often, etc. I'd never met him, but for some reason every time I saw him I just really didn't like him. Like, _hated his guts_ kind of feeling. I'd never experienced anything quite like that before, and couldn't for the life of me figure out why, and it was actually kinda disturbing that I was feeling these horrible feelings apparently for no reason about some random guy I didn't even know. Was I weirdly prejudiced in some way I wasn't even aware of? What was going on? It took a while, but eventually I actually figured it out: Shortly after I started college there, one night, sort of on a whim, I had gone to see a student-run performance of a play. He was one of the actors in that play, and in that play the role he played was of an abusive husband. And he was so good at the role, that that was how my mind categorized him foreverafter. And because of that association, I ended up hating the guts of somebody I knew I'd never even met and knew nothing about, every time I happened to see him walking across campus. It's kinda scary how the brain works sometimes. (I did actually meet him properly some time later, and he was actually a really nice guy.)
9:10 When I first saw this post on Reddit, I wanted context for it and googled her name. Found an interview where she explained that she started working in the sex industry to pay for a $60.000 debt. Wheter you agree with her about her phrasing or not, I don't think she should be mocked for her trauma.
Seriously, Click's take on this was so bad I'm honestly shocked. As somebody who's done both SW and been SA'ed, I get the comparison. Not all, but a lot of SW is either that or having nothing so even if individual clients aren't coercing you you're still being coerced into sex.
I turned 74 in April of this year, which means I was born in 1950, so yes, I am a boomer. I remember in 1958 in 3rd grade we had twin boys in our class. They were both very disruptive, always giggling, getting distracted, not wanting to sit still or pay attention to the teacher. Decades later, when people were talking about Autism and ADHD, I remembered those boys, and realized that they were probably never diagnosed with ADHD, and may even have been autistic as well. The conditions did exist. We just didn't know what to call them, or even how common they actually were.
29:47 where does she think leftist children come from? I am the 2nd oldest of 6 kids with an extremely religious and conservative mom. 5 of us are leftists now. I know so many people who grew up conservative Christian and have trauma from it.
7:38 fun fact most people who say that lab grown diamonds are bad are either dumb or funded by the diamond companies to make sure people have an incentive to get natural diamonds
@@foxinabox5103Natural Diamonds have no real value! The majority are also absolutely useless, that do nothing else than being a shiny rock. Diamonds are Art at best, and thus as worthless as a painted canvas.
@@Robin93k when you say it like that, yeah. It has value, but the value came from artificial scarcity. And also like lots of marketing. But its not as "useless" as you say it is. Drill heads use diamonds for a reason.
@@foxinabox5103 But lab grown diamonds are better for these as well! Most flaws that makes a mined diamond unusable as a jewelry piece, also makes it worthless as a drill bit. Meaning it will be pulverized and used as diamond dust as best. Because yes, we humans can already casually grind diamonds to dust, which is also more useful than the majority of natural diamonds! Because the difference between the MAJORITY of natural diamonds to synthetic diamonds, is the same as "Made in China" to "Made in Germany". But if you want to buy the same exact quality of stones from labs or "mining companies", you'll pay more than thrice to the latter! Synthetic Diamonds are better in literally every aspect! Making natural diamonds absolutely useless in comparison!
Here's a funny little facepalm: Last year, I went fishing and took a photo of me holding a male salmon. Being the silly girl that I am, I decided to make a kissing expression towards the fish, pretending that I was about to kiss him on the lips but not actually doing it. But when we looked at the photos, I KID YOU NOT, the dead salmon was drooling! Like I didn't know he wanted a kiss that badly, LMAO! 😂
7:52 my counterpoint to the natural v lab-grown diamond is "here's a pretty rock someone dug up along with a million others" vs "here's a pretty rock I caused to be created specifically for you"
23:34 The best part is: When you read up on the PR-stunt, they said that a jury would rate the appearance and outfit of a man to decide if they were straight. So...a group of men judged another man's fit and fashion and then bought them drinks. Yeah not gay at all.
9:21 The woman who claimed to be r*ped as a SW was likely trafficked. Trafficking victims never are given the right to a choice and it isnt their fault in any way 💞
That makes some sense, and sorry if I'm just dumb, but would they treat her to expensive things if she was trafficked? Wouldn't she just become a sex slave or something worse?
Even if she wasn't trafficked, she clearly was in a situation where she couldn't say no (or it at least felt like it to her). Honestly Clicks reaction really put me off, saying she's making a mockery of real victims when he's basically dismissing her experience because she was a sex worker.

Let’s test the fake diamond thing. Give someone a real/natural diamond and a fake/lab grown diamond and ask which is which. Wait as they say how one is natural and describe in great detail the difference. Plot Twist hit em with a “their both lab grown” Also apparently it takes an actual professional to actually see the tiny difference between them. It just that little.
4:30 friendly reminder that the british invented the imperial system, forced their colonies to use it, and also actively use the imperial system and metric system interchangeably And Fahrenheit, the system designed to use how humans feel as a reference instead of water, was invented by either the Germans or Swiss, I forget which one
I'm American and will (hopefully eventually) be moving to Canada where they use Celsius for air temperature. I've been trying to learn it and guess what the C temp would be as I look at the F temp for me. I mostly have it down now, but it feels so weird to me how little the temperature increases as it gets hotter. For example, 65f is 18c and 80f is 26c. A 15 degree difference for me is only 8 in Celsius. 8 degrees feels like nothing but those two temperatures call for entirely different clothing!
Wasn't Fahrenheit based on a single location at the time? I understand the system, but in Australia, you might as well make your own Fahrenheit system due to the difference Weather

31:39 i looked into the article and it was an off duty security guard, he opened fire at the kid for holding an airsoft gun he was returning and shot him 13 times and stood over his body continuing to shoot him.
I guess I’m going to jail according to the thumbnail. Although I didn’t do it because of feminism but because my hair is thick and heavy. I was inspired by the guillotine cut- French nobles would shave their head to wear wigs, in prison they weren’t allowed to have wigs and stuff so their hair grew out sorta whispy and still short like that. It’s so pretty to me! I love having short hair like this- still feminine but it feels like *me*. It’s crazy how much a haircut can make you feel like yourself.
And that's beautiful. It's so sad that things like that become an undertone for other stuff, like it is against the law over here for a teacher to hugh a student, even if the student is a small child and crying, because of what it can be interpreted as... Keep being you, and happy to be as you enjoy s2

Years ago when we hadn't yet found out that our mailman would randomly mark our mail "no such street address" and return it to the sender, I got a "you owe us lots of money with lots of late fees" letter from one of our credit cards. I called them to tell them that we hadn't had a single bill for three months, and when they checked their records they had it noted that the last three bills had been returned with the claim of "no such address". I was upset that they decided to notify me that I hadn't paid my bill by sending another bill to an address that the USPS had told them didn't exist. They couldn't see the issue. I canceled my card.
That story is funny because while that is fake, Sweden actually came up with a funny way to keep U-boats away and used it up to a few years ago to keep Russian subs away as well. They broadcast, "This way if you're gay" in morse code. I can't speak for how successful it was but it at least earns style points.

@34:15 just for added context: "Cluster headaches" are also called "(self-ending) headaches" because it feels for 15min up to 3h like someone is poking an ice pick in your eye socket. Potentially several times a day, several days, weeks. Depending on the severity. A lot of sufferers can't deal with that for obvious reasons. As if declining helping someone with headaches because she could bear a child some day wasn't insane enough.

I was denied asthma medication by a pulmonologist because I am of child-bearing age. I argued hard that pregnancy was not a consideration for me - I'm asexual AND on the pill for horrific periods (for which I've also been denied surgery because 'maybe I'll get married and he'll want kids") and he still wouldn't give me the medication he thought if I really needed. Medical care for women is fricking insane sometimes!
As a fellow asexual who is also not planning on having kids but is male: That is horrifying, I’m so sorry! :(
Damn, that is messed up... I live in a third world country, and our healthcare would never refuse treatment for 'childbearing age', only if there is suspicion the woman is already pregnant, and even then only if it made it dangerous for one or both lifes, and the person has the choice in the end... Sometimes I wonder how things become like this
Fellow female Ace, the discussion around fertility is INSANE! I got my tubes removed four years ago, I have constant bleeding issues, and my gynaecologist was sick, so I had someone else for my appointment. He outright told me he would have never allowed me to get the operation, and 32 was too young to know. He spent 15 minutes ranting about it. I had discussed a game plan with my own dr with what steps to take. He completely disregarded it and said he wouldn't allow me to have a hysterectomy because I could still get pregnant with IVF. He didn't bother to read my chart, 8 months prior, I had my uterine lining burnt away. Because pregnancy after the NovaSure is extremely dangerous and deadly
I love the "future husband" excuse because, like... Why would someone who doesn't want children choose to be in a relationship with, let alone marry, someone who does? And even if they got into a relationship before discussing the possibility of starting a family, I'm pretty sure they'd break up the minute they realized they don't want the same things in life. No sane person forces themselves to have babies and be miserable for the rest of their lives just to make someone else happy. Not to mention there's no shortage of men who don't want to be fathers either.
The whole excuse literally relies on anti-logic in order to make a lick of sense, because it assumes that:
A.) Childfree women are willing to/have no choice but to change their minds for their partner.
B.) All men want children.
and
C.) There's no such thing as ending a relationship and finding someone better suited for you.
Another ace here! I was on meds containing isotretinoin (synthetic vitamin A basically) for my horrible acne problems. The medication is so strong that my liver was pretty badly damaged even though i was taking additional medication to prevent it. The high concentration of vitamin A can damage a fetus severely and because i was a “woman of child-bearing age” (i just barely turned 18) my dermatologist made me sign a legal document that i understood the risks of taking this medication and that i was properly informed about the consequences of getting pregnant while on the meds (which wasn’t a risk for me obviously but i was still given hormonal contraceptives just in case). I think this is the best way to go about it, denying medical treatment is a horrible thing to do and at the same time a doctor is covering their ass should something happen and people would want to sue.
I was once denied an antidepressant because it "could be harmful for young mothers"
Bruh, I'm GAY🤦♀️
"Do you see a f*** baby in my V-G?!"

Bruh, depression is harmful too😂
😭😭😭
I have a similar experience. I have pretty bad psoriasis and we talked with the doctor that if the medication I’m on won’t work, we could start another one but I shouldn’t get pregnant even after a few years of not taking it. I told him I’m not having kids since I have other health issues and he was like “okay, call me if you need to get that medicine”.
After that I went to the nurse to get another appointment to the doctor. She asked what he said and I told her what our plan was. Before I knew it, I was having an argument about me having kids in the future because “I might change my mind” and she couldn’t accept the fact that my body can’t handle a pregnancy. And she thought it was better to bleed from my hands, feet and scalp and lose my hair than not get pregnant.
I made a complaint about her behavior and she had to call me and apologize 😂
Well being gay doesn't mean you'll never be a mother (I assume that you being pregnant was meant?) as donor sperm and IVF are real and are used frequently, but I wouldn't really worry this much as a doctor, I mean make the patient take a pregnancy test now if you are worried, give instructions to drop the meds if they plan the pregnancy and here you go.
Also some meds and even foods may be bad with ADs, that's what regular checkups are for (when I was on ADs, I had to meet with my doctor every week, then two weeks then at least once a moth to check how I feel and whether the meds work as well as to renew the prescription).
So, in conclusion of my rant the denial for that reason was dumb, no matter patients identification and sexual preference.
PS being sad and/or dead also is quite harmful for young mothers indeed
When I was in college I lost the love of my life to a car accident. I became extremely depressed and suicidal. My friend took me to a therapist at the university. She actually told me that because I put makeup on that day I couldn’t be THAT depressed. I left the session feeling invalidated AND guilty for not being depressed enough. It’s a horrible thing to say to a person.
my psychologist said i couldn’t be sick enough to miss school because i wore a skirt the day i went to see her
@@fadeddahlia What does that have to do with anything?
@@fadeddahlia yep. I had a psychiatrist tell me I couldn't be that depressed because I'd gotten dressed to leave my home for the appointment. No, not dressed as in "change out of pajamas", dressed as in "wearing clothes". Yeah, I can't imagine why I put on clothes to leave my home, you know besides the fact it was the middle of winter and it's illegal to be nude in public where I live.
If I were a professor at that university, and heard about this, I would be _on the war path_ to get that therapist fired.
Because someone like that _could kill a person with a mood disorder._ Someone like me, Internet Uncle-Gay🏳🌈, who was blaming himself _for causing it to rain and ruin the weekend_ when I was _7 years old._ Major Depressive Mood Disorder has been with me for a long, long time, and I have not been able to forgo medication, because I have deficient neurochemistry.
So I take a very, very, _very, _*_very, VERY DIM VIEW_* of any therapist who does not listen to their patient. Like, you're not a fscking telepath; you have to go with what the patient is saying [and trying very obviously to avoid saying], not with pop-sci opinions & misinformation about what a "depressed person" looks like.

About the woman denied treatment for her headaches: cluster headaches are so severe they're sometimes called "suicide headaches" because people who had them sometimes killed themselves because of how horrendously painful they are.
So yeah, they denied her treatment for that on the off chance she might get pregnant sometime in the future.
"We don't mind if you die, we just want you to give us babies!" 😡😡🤬🤬

ye because mothers with murder headaches are so good and safe for babies
The "no treatment cuz you child bearing age" thing is probably even worse considering they will sometimes also deny women who want to have their tubes tied in case her hypothetical future husband wants kids.
I have actually had this happen to a friend of mine. Meanwhile her uterus is wrecking havoc on her body and she has basically had a period for about 16 years straight.

@@hiuerhaile Sadly, I lost touch with her a couple years ago so I am not sure.
I have a couple of medical conditions where I could die if I had a baby. It was very clear in my chart. Also I didn't even want kids. It was hard to find a doctor to help and they ALMOST sent me to counseling instead. Fortunately I was able to get it at 21 years old. The insurance wouldn't cover it before then. If I was married, I would have to get permission from my husband and if I didn't have disabilities, I'd have to wait until I was older and/or had a certain number of kids. I'm in my 40's and I still don't want kids.
Apparently women aren't capable of making decisions for themselves and must have all these laws placed on their bodies. Men can easily get a vasotomy just by walking in the doctor's office without their wife's consent and without all those restrictions.

Just for context on that case where the woman was denied treatment for cluster headaches - cluster headaches are frequently called "su*cide headaches" because of how painful they are. People KILL THEMSELVES to escape the pain. She should absolutely sue, and if it was up to me, I'd bring charges of criminal negligence against the doctor.
I have clusters and was thinking the same thing. They aren't just "headaches". A common misconception is that migraines are the worst type of pain like this - people tend to say 'migraine' when they mean 'very severe headache' or to be taken seriously - but on the pain scale a cluster headache is more severe than natural childbirth or amputation without anesthesia.
Yet even medical professionals will downplay the diagnosis simply because it's "a type of headache."
The behavior of that doctor was abhorrent.
As a person who gets cluster headaches, they are quite literally the worst pain I've ever experienced (especially when combined with other symptoms) and I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy.
@@rayethequeerdo Exactly. It takes *every* type of support (medical, social, emotional ect) to endure them even when you have access to treatment. That doc was not just gross and dismissive - it was *evil.*

Also, I hope you have/are getting everything I mentioned above - if not, I'd be glad to help out. I've had my diagnosis since Obama was in office so I've run the gambit and don't mind doing what I can for another 'clusterhead'.
In my country that would be highly illegal. Meaning it wouldn't just be a civil case, but a legal one too. Thankfully.
Sadly many people don't know that, or don't know how to stand up to that kind of doctors (I'm usually one of them).
One day though, not for cluster headache, I got this "but what if you get pregnant (for context, I'm a trans guy, but the change isn't yet through legally and I'm not really passing)?" thing too.
I wasn't denied treatment, but he was repeating that A LOT obviously to convince me to not follow through with the procedure/test/medication thingy (english no first language, me bad, lol). It was annoying and uncomfortable and I told him "As a doctor I think you know it needs some fucking to get someone pregnant, right? Well, I'M the part that fucks my partner, so I'm pretty sure you understand that I'm not at risk." He then wanted to drop the topic, but this time I kept it up. Telling him if he's afraid for a potential foetus he was welcomed to remove my uterus and if he was christian (I've nothing against that, just using it for the argument), because than I could alert him, if I got pregnant without being entered. Stuff like that.

I'm not paying a blood tax of $10,000 to $50,000 on a wild-grown diamond when the lab ones are more ethical and affordable. Why would I make my life worse for the bragging rights that I'm a bad person?

You don't understand. Wild diamonds are grass fed and free range. Slaughtered ethically.
I don’t even get what’s so great about diamonds.
They’re just… clear.
I know wild grown diamond is technically the correct term, but it just feels so wrong.
Also, agreed. People that think lab-grown diamonds are lesser compared to natural diamonds are insane. It’s compressed sparkly carbon.
I get they a pretty, but they are typically so small that to a casual observer, they don't really make a huge impact on the outfit when compared to a cheaper stone.
If I ever propose to someone, I'd use a cheaper stone, but I'd make the ring myself. I feel spending the time to make something for them is a better indicator of how much I care for them.
The kid returning the gun was returning an air soft gun. The security guard wasn’t that store’s security guard, he worked for a nearby store and was off duty in his car. He saw the kid and came out with his gun pointed at him and screaming orders to place the gun down and back away. He claimed the kid and his buddy were ignoring his command and that’s why he shot but cctv showed them doing exactly what he ordered and the guy just saw the tiniest movement from the kid and freaked out and shot him…. and then STOOD OVER THE DEAD BODY AND CONTINUED SHOOTING HIM! America has too many people just waiting and fantasizing about killing someone and being “the hero” and the power of it… there’s so many stories like this or people getting shot dead for just knocking on doors or ringing doorbells. Madness.
What absolutely terrifies the shit out of me is that you get these stupidly aggressive cops all the time on the news, being scared of a fart or an acorn or something and going absolutely crazy with their guns when there's no danger at all. They get a week or two of unpaid suspension, have to apologize to cameras once, and they're right back in service.
Meanwhile, people working in mental health facilities get freaking chairs and tables thrown at them, get regularly threated and sometimes get weapons pulled on them, and despite the fact that they can lock the patient in their room, they can't even try to physically restrain them without risking their job. They have to deescalate and control the situation without any form of personal protection. And you know what? They're usually damned good at it.
So it really isn't about how risky the situation is. SWAT teams are justified, but not regular cops, they shouldn't even have a gun on their person
Remember, we are talking about the country that thinks you can reduce gun violence in schools by adding guns into school. By now I even think some people would still advocate for more guns even if their family would be killed in a shooting, they would rather die in a damn shooting as long as they can keep their dumb weapons. Those people are beyond reason or help.
@DustD.Reaper As an American, I agree with you. I don't understand why everyone is so pressed about wanting guns so badly if they know that they're so dangerous. I feel like the government could very easily implement some kind of procedure where, if you want a gun, you get asked why/get a background check and all that good stuff, and if they determine you don't have a risk of waking up one day and deciding to shoot down a school for no reason, then you can get it and keep it *at home* and not carry it *everywhere* with you like everyone wants to do. Gun rights (and heck, even things like abortion, gay marriage, etc) are so weird to me because everyone is just so upset about it when they could just mind each others business and be stricter about things that would actually kill people (guns, not abortion rights, which is a whole other rabbit hole)

25:25 My grandma was left-handed, but the public schools forced her to learn right-handed (this was in the 1950s). They used to hit her in the hands with rulers and stuff if she tried using her left. So part of the reason that left-handedness has increased is it is no longer being actively suppressed with violence.
My dad had this experience. I can still see the frustration in his expression when he talks about it.
There's really no 'mystery' why you see more of something after people are no longer punished for it.
My parents were very progressive. They recognized that the world would be easier if I was right-handed so when the doctor indicated that I might be left-handed (1960s), they simply handed me everything in such a way that I used my right hand to grab it as an infant. No punishments needed when I got to school but I remain more ambidextrous than most right-handed people.
Same for my uncle, I don't know if hand hitting happened. But it gave him dyslexia he had to deal with!
Heck, when I was an 8 year old kid in Sweden I had a very old teacher who "joked" that he would do it to me because "that's what we did in the good ol' days".

I don't remember if she got her medicine or not, but I do remember her crying about it and me being very upset on her behalf.
Cluster headaches are especially horrific too. It's bad enough having chronic headaches and/or chronic migraine. But getting cluster headaches??? My heart instantly sunk at that part of the story.
I hate how many neurologists are like that. I've dealt with a lot of problem doctors over the years, but it's especially pervasive in neurology. I've seen so many neurologists I can't even count anymore and only 1 was a decent person and doctor. It's so bad that I felt like I needed to come up with a way to describe the situation to others:
Some neurologists seem to think their PhD came with special parking for their head up their rear. Now I've never taken an anatomy class, but even I know that's not where the head belongs.
(One of the greatest moments in my life was when I made an experienced obgyn burst out laughing during an appointment with that quip. It just goes to show how real it is that neurology attracts a certain kind of ego compared to other specialties.)
I had to look up cluster headache (German wikipedia lists "suicide headache" as one of the alternative names …) and it absolutely sounds like something you'd want to have a kid or two on top of. /s
@@rolfs2165 Exactly. 😣 It's abysmal the ways patients are forced to suffer for the sake of imaginary fetuses.
to me the 'funniest' part of this whole thing is that the (much less effective) medication they wanted to put her on instead often lowers blood pressure as a side effect. and she already had dangerously low blood pressue. as in, her blood pressure was already so low that she was at serious risk of just straight up dying if it fell any further, and they decided that that was the better alternative to risking harm to a hypothetical fetus.
@@xyecho Omfg... That's exactly the kind of arrogance I've dealt with repeatedly from neurologists myself though. They do. not. care. how much their method of handling things will hurt you. They're right, you're wrong, no matter what the reality is. 💀
My unmedicated state is literally potentially lethal to me and my months prior to getting on medication caused my primary care provider extreme worry. And yet neurologists still refuse to manage this medication for me because I'm "too young to be on such a dangerous medication". The concern? With longterm use there is a slight risk of partial-to-total vision loss, though the effect that causes this is typically gradual and is something that can be measured and thus does get measured a minimum of once per year (annual eye exams) when you're on it. But also, as someone who in less than 4 years went from fully able-bodied to needing mobility aids and now is working at getting a power chair due to sudden-onset and rapidly progressing disabilities, I would much rather go through the process of losing my vision from this medication than dying without ever being able to enjoy life in any way again (which is literally what would happen if I went without this medication for too long).
I'm incredibly lucky that my pcp agrees that "keeping me alive" is a no-brainer better idea than "actively withholding care until I either die or capitulate to blindly (lol) following a neurologist's orders" because she's the only reason I'm able to get the medication at all. She wrote a script for me matching the original neuro one so that she can make sure I have access to refills. (Original neuro got pissed the medication helped (proving me right about my diagnosis without putting me through very dangerous and inconclusive testing) and also that my involuntary and unhealthy weight loss caused by the condition didn't cure my symptoms (proving her wrong), so during my second appointment she refused to work with me anymore unless I did everything her way from now on and without question. I obviously declined that generous offer. Unfortunately every neuro I've tried since has demanded the same obedience after proving their incompetence in the same way (insisting on the dangerous testing despite the risks, flaws, and lack of need).)
And that's not even getting into how many times neurologists have tried prescribing me medications that would give me seizures, even after I tell them at least three different ways about my seizure history and risks, or the other ridiculous ways they "mess up"...
(The one good neuro I had was from my first ever seizure which also happened in the middle of a university class. (I got incredibly lucky in a bunch of ways that day.) Unfortunately that means his specialty is far outside the realm of the condition I've been fighting neurologists over for the past couple years. It's not just this condition either. Migraine neuros are so bad the last time I got prescribed my migraine medication was several years ago.)
Anyway, the autistic point of me sharing this stuff is just to illustrate how, despite the ridiculousness of it all, her neurologists aren't even close to the only ones who prioritize their egos above the literal lives of their actual patients. (And I'm furious for her and everyone else who goes through this crap.)
I'm trans FTM, and I've had doctors tell me I need to take a pregnancy test before surgery, even after I've told them I've had a hysterectomy and both ovaries removed. I'm just baffled that they didn't understand how that works. 🤔🤦

My husband and i joked about making an "unethical lab diamond" company. Your ring will be shipped with the name of the intern we sacrificed to create your diamond lol. I dont understand why anyone would be against lab jewels except the diamond industry.

Omg I love this idea, it’s like the bakery in story 1 😂
I just see lab diamonds as an unnecessary waste of power and money for a rock with no purpose other than the ability to say that you own it. There are so many other rocks we could shove on a ring yet all these companies keep insisting the superiority of this one that they keep wasting resources/lives to aquire them. I will say though that it is far better to waste energy than to waste lives however I will never see the point in wasting anything.
I don't like diamonds. Too much pain & bs associated with them.

The kid being shot for having a replica gun is worse than it sounds.
He dropped it on the ground, then turned around with his hands up. He was walking away and moved his arm down a little and was shot because he was afraid he was going to do something.
Trigger happy “security guard” who murdered someone.

Le me guess, the kid was black, whasn't he?
The "security guard" was not working at the store. He was in his car in the parking lot. His son was playing nearby and he had taken it upon himself to "overwatch" the parking lot because "it was a bad neighborhood." The two children were returning an airsoft gun. The guy ran out of his car, pointed his loaded gun at 12 year olds, and demanded they drop the gun and back away. The kids complied, he still shot one of them as they were complying. The child fell face fist on the ground, bleeding, the man proceeded to unload his pistol into the child's back.

Same here, I'm aroace nb and my parents are conservative Christian
"We're going to groom our kids so that no one else can groom our kids"
The more kids they have, the higher the chances they'll end up with more kids for "the other side" than their own. I just feel bad for the kids in situations like that. I grew up in a very religious and conservative home and it was filled with all manners of abuse for my siblings and I. The kinds of people who have kids with that kind of logic are not people who respect children as actual individual human beings with unique personalities and needs. They're extremely ill-prepared to be parents because having kids is all about them, not about helping small humans grow into psychologically and emotionally healthy adult humans who can live happy lives of their own.
I'm 38.
30 years ago, I sat in my class, with ("mild") ADHD, next to my autistic ADHD friend. The last row was an obese kid that got held back.
Another kid in my class (my future first girlfriend) was allergic to basically everything (dairy, pork, eggs, pollen, citrus fruits, mother's milk, wool, ..). Another girl in our class was suffering from PTSD because she was a refugee from Kosovo. Not to mention all the immigrant kids who didn't learn German (the local language) from birth and had tutors PLUS cultural classes for their home country's traditions and languages.
Yeah, 30 years ago was completely different to today.
None of us were properly diagnosed or treated.

The craziest thing about lack of media literacy these days is that people seem to forget that actors (and cosplayers sometimes) aren't actually the character. I genuinely can't understand how the brain rot gets that bad.
I suppose on one hand, it's kinda a compliment: They did such a good job of acting that people completely forgot _the entire concept_ that they might be just an actor playing a role... Still, it's a little disturbing to wonder what other things these people are not realizing about the world around them, and taking on face-value when they really shouldn't.
I do remember one time when I was a freshman in college, though. There was a guy on campus who I saw walking around every so often, etc. I'd never met him, but for some reason every time I saw him I just really didn't like him. Like, hated his guts kind of feeling. I'd never experienced anything like that before, and couldn't for the life of me figure out why, and it was actually kinda disturbing that I was feeling these feelings about some random guy I didn't even know and couldn't figure out why. Eventually I actually figured it out: Shortly after I started college there, one night I had gone to see a student-run performance of a play. He was one of the actors in that play, and in the play the role he played was of an abusive husband.
And because of that association, I ended up hating the guts of somebody I knew full well I'd never even met, every time I happened to see him walking across campus. It's kinda scary how the brain works sometimes.
(I did actually meet him properly some time later, and he was actually a really nice guy.)

It's nothing new really. Back when Gilligan's Island was airing the coast guard and navy got letters from people asking why they weren't rescuing the castaways.
This isn't new though. I remember articles over 20 yers ago about soap opera actors who had played evil people being harassed. It was the plot in an episode of Psych, which is quite old.
Yeah it's really common. It's more parasocial bs. Like when people think they know an actor personally because of a character(s) they played in something. People are something...And that something often doesnt have much in the way of critical thinking.

Bro is more Aniki
That’s still context, in Japanese.
If someone throws random Japanese into English, that’s cringe enough to start.
@@GretchZ It depends. In Japan it's nothing sexual in itself, but used in English in a clear way, it's its own phrase, basically. A term. A tag. Nothing cringe about using it in the right context (which usually is just jokingly anyway).
Cringe is people throwing around every single of the 15 japanese words they know, believing they're already halfway japanese themselves. Preferably whilst doing the Natruto run. We call them weaboos.
Anyway, if you think sometimes using a word from a different language is cringe in general I must inform you that it's completely normal in other languages (yes, including Japanese), to do so.
So, as much as you think an english speaking person saying "sugoi" is a nono, a japanese person will very likely say "cool" "great" etc occasionally too.
You're correct! Onii-chan is brother, a mpore correct way would be "nii-chan," since it's a shortened and more childish version of onii-chan.
9:24 I think there’s something to be said about sex workers and the ability to consent at times. I’m for sex workers having bodily autonomy, they should be allowed to work if they need to/want to, but I don’t think it’s insensitive for a sex worker to say they weren’t fully able to consent because they needed the money/it was their job. Getting paid doesn’t negate the fact that for a lot of people, having sex with someone they don’t want to can be very traumatic. I know the word she used can be jarring, but I think it was meant to communicate this.
Fuck diamonds being the standard for wedding rings. I'd rather use literally any other gem.

I picked out my own engagement ring. Its a simple rose gold band with a beautiful maroon garnet. It was way way cheaper and means way more for me. I'm all for using over gems
Hell yeah! Even more because diamons actually break real easy compared to most other gems...
I think the reason most people go for diamonds instead of gems is that some gems aren't really scratch or break resistant as diamonds are.
The idea is to wear that ring daily for decades, so it's supposed to withstand a lot of stress.

The bit with the woman who killed her child with mountain dew happened LAST MONTH--not only was the daughter diabetic, but all of her teeth had rotted out, due to being fed almost exclusively mountain dew from a baby bottle. She died because of extreme malnutrition and diabetic ketoacidosis, and was declared brain dead at the hospital, having to be taken off of life support. ADDITIONALLY, this isn't the first time one of her children ended up in the hospital due to neglect. She also had a son who went into a coma ALSO FROM DIABETES, and when he came out of it and was sent home, he was never taken to any follow up appointments. She told the court that she thought she "was doing the best [she] could" for her kids. She was sentenced to 9 years in a correctional facility, with a possibility of up to 13 years depending on her behavior while jailed.
Her husband was also charged for murder, child endangerment and involuntary manslaughter, with the same sentence as his wife.

Wow! There's a somewhat similar story in my family, with a somewhat happier ending. My aunt and uncle never wanted children, but an oops happened, and my cousin Iris was born. As an infant and toddler, she was never given any type of milk, only Pepsi to drink. She did survive with seemingly no harmful effects... we only found out the real side effects of doing this decades later. She's now in her mid to late forties and her stomach is almost non-existent now because her stomach has been literally eating itself from the inside out. This is directly caused because she only had Pepsi to drink as an infant and toddler. She has a hard time eating, and cannot even eat small portions at one sitting. She's constantly throwing up and is in constant pain. The doctors have made it clear she will die from this, but it'll take maybe another decade before it gets to that point. It's not a good way to either live or die. My cousin doesn't have diabetes, thankfully (or not, depending on how you want to look at it), which I would imagine is the only reason she didn't die as an infant or yet.

24:08 Oh, absolutely not. more than 40 years ago my little brother was diagnosed with ADD by the school (now ADHD) and was forced to be put on Ritalin, which gave him tiks, by the school. He wasn't allowed to go back to school unless my parents took him to get medicated. It was a messes up time trying to get that quiet classroom that this Karen is going on about.
My cousin was also forced to take Ritalin as a child after being diagnosed with ADD. He now has a permanent speech impediment because of Ritalin. Since this happened, my family has been extremely anti-Ritalin and has refused to have either another cousin's son or my nephew to take the medication. While we aren't against medication if it is really needed, Ritalin is completely off the table. End of story.
15 years ago my mother's foster nephew was put on an insanely high dose of risperidone for anxiety and resulting violent outbursts, it shut him up most of the time but it also made him more explosive, it got rid of his rational fears and only left him with the irrational ones.
Child psychiatry has an outside observer problem, symptoms are described by someone watching from the outside and symptom mitigation is judged primarily based on what an outside observer can see, it gets even worse when people like teachers are expecting visible results from medication.
When I was in school 30+ years ago, there was a huge spike of kids being put on Ritalin. Many of them weren't even considered hyperactive, but the parents wanted them medicated because they couldn't get their kids to sit in front of the TV and be quiet all the time. This is what happened with my cousin. My mom ended up taking care of him for a few months and his doctor told mom to stop giving him the meds. He couldn't even physically keep up with me or my siblings and I have a walking disability.
@dragonfliesnh4204 It was usually the school. Basically, the school would decide the kid was disruptive and say it's add or hyperactivity and tell the parents they can't bring the kid back to school until they were drugged up. The doctors were just like, well if the school says so...
I was on Ritalin for a small bit and never experienced ticks, hopefully they're in a better position nowadays!

I was raised in a christian family and, when the concept of heaven was first explained to me, the person explaining it (either the priest or my mum, I don't remember which) they mentioned that when people go to heaven they leave the unnecessary parts of themselves behind. This was meant to mean their physical bodies, but I did not interpret it that way. I decided that the least imortant section of the body was the torso and so clearly this meant that everyone lost it when they went to heaven, so the image at 1:30 is what I used to believe people in heaven looked like.
That is wildly fun to think about xD Kids have the best imagination, no?
I was raised in a Christian environment (a very extreme and weird variety of Lutheran) and every description of… anything made it less plausible or pleasant.

“But was can see what’s happening on earth, right?”
“So if I see a war or murder or something I still won’t be sad?”
“Yes!”

Funny story here. I was raised French Catholic and when I was taught the Lord's Prayer, I was extremely confused.

After they closed the institutions where he lived one of my aunts took him home to live with her. But it was really hard to get him to socialize. He didn't get to be around people like him daily anymore. Can you imagine going from being in the norm to being outside of the norm & no one tells you why? Or makes sure that you are ok with it? My whole family embraced him but it had to have been really hard on, you know?
ADHD and autism was most assuredly existent and diagnosed 30 years ago. 30 years ago was 1994. Let that sink in 1994. Now feel old.

Allergies are probably referenced in the bible, that part in the old testament talking about not to eat sea food. Some theologians say it was mostly about certain people dropping dead for eating some shrimp/crab and went like: uhmmmmm seems dangerous, don't talk with anyone who eats that...
I think we should take the bible/thora and other religious scriptures as that: In those years there was no practical law (or not as wide spread as now it is) and no regulation on how people can live together in peace so these religious scriptures were made...
Nah, all it says over and over is how gross anything from the water without fins and scales is.
“Things that come from the water are yucky and you should be grossed out by their dead bodies” is a flight translation of a verse. It literally commands how to feel.
“These are the things that will be gross to you from the birds. They are gross.” Isn’t that a bit redundant? It’s practically a tautology!
Birds have to have a crop (and some other factor I can’t remember), but then it lists a whole bunch of birds that aren’t kosher but since they don’t fit the requirements it’s kind of a waste of time.
Know what makes a mammal kosher? Split hooves, and chewing cud. That’s it. Find an animal that fits that, and it is kosher (if it’s slaughtered in a specific way, so as to bleed out.)
It’s insane nonsense.
I keep kosher, btw 😂
Being from a desert myself, I always figured it was more a matter of shellfish goes bad really badly in the heat, but fish can be dried, salted, pickled, etc.
Also like the lizard drowning in your cistern? Nearly all reptiles carry salmonella on their skin. Of course a dead lizard is going to make your porous clay cistern unclean.
The rules for mildew also closely match those for black mold, just replace priest with mold remediation specialist.
Pork is also known to carry trichinosis (not so much anymore if you get it from sources that follow proper procedures and you cook it throughly), but "that meat will curse you" would be pretty obvious.
@samarnadra
The lizard and “cistern” (it’s a mikveh, which is a bit different) STAYS tahor if a lizard falls into it. Food containers don’t.
I love that the order of operations for tzaraas (which is basically biblical Hebrew for “discolouration”) of the house is “leave your house for a couple weeks and hope”, “replace some bricks and scrub the bricks around it”, then “TEAR DOWN THE HOUSE”.
I also love that if tsaraas covers your whole body, then you’re just fine.

Hmm, might be a translation thing with “cistern”.

Denying treatment is absolutely disgusting and the hospital should be sued! When i was given very strong medication (isotretinoin, basically synthetic vitamin A for my terrible acne) i had to sign legal documents due to how harmful this medication is to a fetus. I was also given hormonal contraceptives “just in case” (although they helped lessen the amount of time i had to take the pills as the meds were absolutely devastating to my liver), not that my ace self needed them.
That’s i believe the best way to go about it: you inform the patient about the medication and its consequences, you have all of it written down in paper just in case to cover your own ass. And that’s how it always should be done!
When I actually got pregnant, my allergist changed one of my medications and discussed the others with me. The general consensus was that we don't know if there is an actual problem with this medication or not because we haven't studied it yet in pregnant women but there have been no obvious issues and it is important for the fetus that mom continues to get enough oxygen.
@@wartgin My psychiatrist said the same thing to me when I discussed how I want to try getting pregnant soon. He said "There isn't enough evidence either way for these medications. My suggestion is to take as little as possible, but my biggest concern is you getting enough sleep and feeling emotionally stable during pregnancy." I've struggled with some doctors recently, so it was very validating.
@@restrictedmilk Exactly.
The wrong address, numbers, etc. stories remind me of the time our home internet service got cut off. The internet company requires a landline phone number on file because they're also a phone company, and if you don't have one they'll assign one to your account. My husband missed a payment and they only tried calling that landline number that they assigned to us, that they knew did not exist because they're also the phone company and they weren't billing us for a phone service. They did not understand the issue when we called them.
Our postal system is also a wreck in Canada, they once told me that in order to pick up my package I needed an ID but I couldnt just send somebody on my behalf because it is MY PACKAGE and I needed to witness my package being picked up for me. They also told me that if the package wasnt picked up in 24hrs THEY WOULD BURN MY BOOKS
28:30 There is also the fact that close, platonic friendships between two straight people of opposite genders is something that's basically absent from popular culture. We are told from basically every single movie and show that when a boy and a girl enjoy one another's company, a sexual or romantic relationship is the expected result. Not to mention how parents react to kids who are just friends, teasing them about getting married and stuff. So when the copulation avenue closes, what the heck does the relationship even become? I can completely understand that many people find that difficult to imagine and navigate.
yea i think it’s very understandable to be upset that the only time a man would talk to u is if they wanna date you, maybe it’s a queer thing but i know many people who turned romantic rejections to really amazing friendships!!
It hasn't happened very often, but when visitng family in the US I have actually come across the (in)famous "why would anyone speak Spanish in Europe" person a few times. They do actually exist, it's not a myth,

I have depression and empathize with the woman who chose assisted suicide. It's a daily battle with our own brain, one that you can never truly win. You can negotiate a temporary ceasefire but victory is impossible. Fighting eventually becomes so tiring that death is a kind of relief, a peace. Finally the battle is over. We lost, but at least we get to rest now. I understand her and I'm glad she lives in europe, here where there are options for her and where she doesn't have to either fight until her body gives out or choose a more damaging way to go. I wish her peace.
i know it's kinda par for the course with depression but geez what a backwards, defeatist mindset. victory is absolutely possible, you just haven't found what works for you yet. you're practically encouraging sewer slide and that is nasty
3:24 there was another girl who requested euthanasia as well. The young lady was 17 years old. She was severly depressed, had anorexia and ptsd due to being raped twice at a very young aged. Her request for euthanasia was denied so she stopped eating. She passed away in 2019. For the lady in the article euthanasia was granted. She can finally rest.

I once had a wild animal bite and have hypochondria (but am generally chill about my concerns. “This hurts. Do I have cancer? I should make a doctors appointment in a couple days if it still hurts next week because it might be cancer”).
So, as I spent the month of vaccines worried I might get rabies, I made a list of the ways I could go out if I started having symptoms.
I knew people that were prescribed fentanyl, and that was up there.
Obviously, I didn’t get rabies, because I’m typing this, but I gave it a lot of careful consideration, and “get really high and then stop being” sounded alright.

24:10 When I was in college, my best friend had a litany of severe food allergies, including to milk and egg protein and soy when she was younger. She loved cooking and baking and was super happy about the increasing variety of vegan foods. Once she told me that someone in her family likely had these severe allergies too, I think an uncle or great uncle or some such. That relative died. She was able to survive because they caught her being allergic to her mother's milk early (stuff the mother eats can end up in the milk) and put her on a allergy appropriate diet. People who were born before we could take care of severe allergies used to die, and people with less severe allergies would probably often just not know and have to make do with the symptoms.
If you read any older stories, it's very common to have references to children and adults that are described as just "sickly" or "prone to illness" for their entire lives. That's probably due to a number of reasons, but "has some condition they were not able to diagnose or treat" I suspect is part of it.
I'm left-handed and my grandpa was too, but he was trained out of it. If I had been retrained to use my right hand, I would have likely never been able to study arts and draw anywhere near as well as I learned to with my dominant hand.

24:20 30+ years ago I was a kid in school with ADHD ( and potentially undiagnosed autism ), obese, I had friends with peanut and other food allergies and a classmate that was autistic ( diagnosed ).
Actually that headache thing can be very true. I have epilepsy and my neurologist has denied me the best medication for my specific seizures and also has the smallest and most mild side effects, because I'm "of childbearing age", even though I don't plan on getting pregnant an am using the best birth control that lasts for years so I can't miss a dose. He refuses to change that decision and opts to give me a mix of several medications in large doses that can have some really terrible (but not fatal) side effects. So now I'm depressed, fatigued, have insomnia, and it's harder to lose weight, and I have a greater chance of problems with my other organs because of a sexist guy who thinks all women should have to immediately start having children once they turn 18.
I don't blame woman who go to the waiting room after such appointments to yell "Dr. (insert name) is useless if you are a woman!" anymore
That's a signal that the doctor is sexist
Honestly, find another doctor.
@@diarmuidkuhle8181 I tried to, but there are only 2 neurologists for adults here that deal with epilepsy. The other one has great bedside manner, is really inclusive and accepting, uses people's preferred pronouns and would never deadname you, respects bodily autonomy and the value of working with the patient on a healthcare plan, he's great! But he isn't taking any more patients right now. I even went the inside networking way of trying to transfer, with asking other healthcare professionals that work with him if he can take on a patients who's current neurologist is being discriminatory and dismissive. He said he'd love to but he can't. Makes me sad, but that's life in a province where most of the health professional only work with the elderly since there are so, so, so many older people.

18:58 I remember one time when I was a freshman in college. There was a guy on campus who I saw walking around every so often, etc. I'd never met him, but for some reason every time I saw him I just really didn't like him. Like, _hated his guts_ kind of feeling. I'd never experienced anything quite like that before, and couldn't for the life of me figure out why, and it was actually kinda disturbing that I was feeling these horrible feelings apparently for no reason about some random guy I didn't even know. Was I weirdly prejudiced in some way I wasn't even aware of? What was going on? It took a while, but eventually I actually figured it out: Shortly after I started college there, one night, sort of on a whim, I had gone to see a student-run performance of a play. He was one of the actors in that play, and in that play the role he played was of an abusive husband.
And he was so good at the role, that that was how my mind categorized him foreverafter. And because of that association, I ended up hating the guts of somebody I knew I'd never even met and knew nothing about, every time I happened to see him walking across campus. It's kinda scary how the brain works sometimes.
(I did actually meet him properly some time later, and he was actually a really nice guy.)

Seriously, Click's take on this was so bad I'm honestly shocked. As somebody who's done both SW and been SA'ed, I get the comparison. Not all, but a lot of SW is either that or having nothing so even if individual clients aren't coercing you you're still being coerced into sex.
I turned 74 in April of this year, which means I was born in 1950, so yes, I am a boomer. I remember in 1958 in 3rd grade we had twin boys in our class. They were both very disruptive, always giggling, getting distracted, not wanting to sit still or pay attention to the teacher. Decades later, when people were talking about Autism and ADHD, I remembered those boys, and realized that they were probably never diagnosed with ADHD, and may even have been autistic as well. The conditions did exist. We just didn't know what to call them, or even how common they actually were.

Most flaws that makes a mined diamond unusable as a jewelry piece, also makes it worthless as a drill bit. Meaning it will be pulverized and used as diamond dust as best.

Because the difference between the MAJORITY of natural diamonds to synthetic diamonds, is the same as "Made in China" to "Made in Germany".

A 15 degree difference for me is only 8 in Celsius. 8 degrees feels like nothing but those two temperatures call for entirely different clothing!
