A buddy of mine was talking to his doctor not long after he turned 50 and he was complaining about some random pain. The doctor told him “You know all that stupid stuff you did when you were younger? That’s what hurts now.”

I got example 1 verbatim about a month ago complete with Google street view picture of my house. Jokes on them, all of my porn viewing is on an ancient tablet that does not have a front facing camera.

I’m so glad at least one person got the reference.

Don’t forget to bounce a graviton particle beam off the main detector dish.

For some reason my wife’s Google photo face recognition thinks our grey cats are my sister in law.

Or Idiocracy

they are continuing to dump real humans who can communicate and respond to issues outside of the rigid framework when it comes to support

They have been trying to get humans to operate within their rigid framework, with varying success, for a very long time. One thing they love about “AI” is that they can program it to do exactly what they want and not worry about human emotion risking their bottom line.

Thanks for the info. The Brighton test is actually what led us to start looking into EDS. I easily get 4 points with the pinkies and thumbs. I’m not sure on the knees and elbows, I go past straight but I didn’t know how to properly measure what angle I get to. I cannot even come close to touching my toes because my spine does not curve the way it is supposed to.

I did not know about the antibiotic, that is good info to have. I did know people with EDS need to be particularly careful with stretches and yoga but had not really thought about physical therapy. Last time I was in PT for my spine I ripped my collar bone most of the way off of my sternum so that makes sense.

Again, thank you for the info.

I suspect that I have Ehlers Danols. I have an appointment with a new doctor next month to look into a possible diagnosis. When my wife first found out about EDS and said she thought I might have it I was just like “whatever”, but then the more we looked into it the more my entire life made sense. I’m not saying I hope I have EDS but it would be really nice to actually have an explanation for the constant pain and unstable joints.

Airplanes even had ashtrays with little flip up lids in the armrests.
