I was paralyzed after a car accident when I was only 20. The driver, who was my best friend at the time, decided to drag race. She didn’t get a scratch, while I was left paralyzed. She didn’t even bother to come and see afterward or take any accountability for her stupidity !
Every time I hear people say, “LC is already being punished! She can’t walk!” I want to scream !!!

Being paralyzed is not a punishment. LC still has the chance to live a very fulfilling life, while those three innocent children will never have that chance. She doesn’t deserve compassion because she can’t walk!

Please stop using a wheelchair as if it’s some kind of “karma” that hit her. It didn’t ! Did she suffer like those three kids ? Those kids never grew up never lived ... I can’t believe that even her lawyer used her wheelchair as an example of how she is the victim.

P.S. after my injury. I went back to school, earned a master’s degree, work full-time, met and married the most amazing man, and we’re raising our child together.

Being in a wheelchair should never be viewed as a punishment or a measure of someone’s suffering.

How is not premeditated if
1- she sent him away
2- googled how long it takes to go and comes back

How was she having an episode supposedly if
1- planned the above points
2- even answered the phone during

How on earth does she have the audacity to plead not guilty?! Even if I had an episode of psychosis, I would still plead guilty. No matter what, I committed a horrible crime. I would feel like I deserved to rot in prison. My babies were murdered by me. Honestly, I would feel like I didn’t deserve to live. I wouldn’t be looking for a way out of this. None of this makes sense to me.

I had scoliosis surgery in 1995 and have stainless steel Cotrel-Dubousset rods extending from T2 to L2. At the time, my surgeon back then repeatedly emphasized that these rods were not MRI safe and that having an MRI could potentially be life threatening.
Yesterday, I had a consultation with an MRI technologist, and he told me that it is now considered safe to proceed with an MRI and they will be using 1.5 T . Has MRI technology changed since then? What is the difference between MRI safety in 1995 and today? Why were these implants previously considered dangerous even potentially deadly but are now considered safe? My appointment is on Friday and I keep thinking am I gonna die lol

I’m a millennial not a boomer lol why does everyone all of a sudden call their daughter girly pop ? Where did it start ? My millennial brain keep singing dirty pop by NSYNC 😂

I’m currently at a B-level plateau in French, and I’m struggling a bit with motivation. I genuinely want to improve and become more fluent, but I find it hard to stay consistent with self-studying. Every time I plan to sit down and study, either something comes up, I get distracted by other things, or I end up procrastinating and doing something else instead.

I think part of the problem is that I’m no longer a beginner, so progress feels slower and less obvious than before. At the same time, I know I still have a long way to go before I feel truly comfortable and confident speaking French naturally.

I’m trying to figure out how to make learning feel more engaging and less like a chore. How do you stay motivated when learning a language at this stage? Do you have ways to make studying more interesting, enjoyable, or easier to stick to long term?
