Plus she only sued for her medical expenses and loss of earnings.

So many people need to understand this

Someone asked me why I WASN'T opposed to gay marriage because in their minds it diminished my het marriage. I just asked 'how so?' and watched then struggle. This is so silly. A modern relationship is about two people deciding to spend life together because it's easier than being alone and hopefully because they love each other, but in my mind that's optional. Marriage means taking responsibility for the well being of your spouse and making a commitment to each other to care for each other and help each other out. That's it. Another couple marrying has no impact whatsoever on my marriage and vice versa. Marriage is only between those married to each other

Its not a 'women over 40 issue'. It's an every demographic issue. When I go out without the kids I get asked if my husband is 'babysitting' or I get asked 'who?' is babysitting. The question is posed by young women, old women, middle aged women, young men, old men and middle aged men alike. When I reply that yes, my husband is at home PARENTING his children they usually reply how "lucky" I am.

Poison ivy is natural but I'm not going to rub it all over my body. Natural can be dangerous too.

Yes. So sick of the loud social media idiots who think it does.

THIS. I'm a little socially awkward sometimes but I'm not shy. Just because I'm laughing, cracking jokes and entertaining the group for 30 minutes doesn't mean I'm some kind of extrovert that wants to go out every weekend and socialize....Let me recharge dammit!

"Depression isn't real. There's nothing wrong with people who are depressed. They just want attention." -my mother to me whenever I try to explain my actual diagnosed depression

It's the sexism <3

Just makes you an honest a**hole

Wish I could upvote this more. I see this written into films etc. Seems more of an issue in the USA.

Louder for the antivaxxers

Still there's sadly a growing crowd that treats science like religion and get really angry if you dispute anything that's 'scientifically proven' even when the last study is from the 70s and newer knowledge makes it very likely it might be obsolete and needs retesting or there was already an attempt to recreate the study that failed. One study can't 'prove' anything. It takes at least several studies to show if something is valid or not. One study with 30 participants is not statistically relevant and cannot make predictions for the whole world.

It is on Bored Panda! /s

Yes BUT that doesn't change the fact that there's still less weight and same package size so more air than needed. It's called Shrinkflation and it's well documented. When I was younger there were 200g chps in the bag. The bag was full to two thirds when opened. Today there are 125g content in the bag, the bag is even bigger though and so it's barely half full. And no, you don't need THAT many air in the bag!

People HATE being corrected. People do not wish to have new information from which they may alter their views. Much of what people think about life and politics comes from a split in the population they decided to join waaay back. Since then they have looked for information to justify that decision..

This! And if you do take antibiotics, finish the cure the doc gave you even though you might feel better half way through. Otherways you might end up with bacteria that are immune to antibiotics.

And you "lose weight" to make your pants more "loose"

I have a cane and no I don't use it all the time. When I do people tell me ai am too young to need it. I calmly reply that dieing twice and a back full of steel make it a necessity sometimes.

It's just resting b***h face.

Yes, it is! And no i don't know what I'm depressed about. And I agree i have nothing to be depressed about. And both those facts are depressing. #ViciousCircle

I slow down when I'm followed by a tail gaiter. For safety.

Insomnia is terrible. Nobody wants to be unable to sleep. I wish people stop minimizing it

We had a genius programmer in our company once (genius as in "needed a few days to completely program a new shop system, database interface and merchandise managing system FROM SCRATCH without using existing ones"). A real code wizard. He was helpless as a toddler if he had any computer problems. One time he called in an external computer technician because his laptop would not start (he had forgotten to charge it).

ADHD in the USA would be an interesting sociological topic. Diagnosed juvenile ADHD incidence is over 5 times the global average. For every medically diagnosed case there are up to three people who self-diagnosed ADHD, most of the times without any real basis. Why is it so prevalent in the USA vs the world, and why so much people who do not have it think they do?

Gliding is technically still falling though...just slow, somewhat controlled falling.

Commercial passenger aircraft are designed to fly on half of their engines. So a twin engine aircraft can fly normally on a single engine, and four engined aircraft on two.

Helicopters do tho 😬👎

An Airtransit plane ran out of fuel and glided 80 miles to land in an island in the Atlantic Ocean (Azores). Over 200 people on board all survived.

I'm sure that's reassuring to know when you're over the middle of the Pacific ocean.

So - ample time to say goodbye to your loved ones, say a prayer and prepare for the impact?

And yet they do fall out of the sky.

Really depends what you mean when you say "lose an engine" If the engine dies, no real problem as you state. However, if you actually "lose" an engine, your plane will almost certainly fall out of the sky due to weight imbalance and probable major structural damage.

That's a really short distance to find a safe place to land a 747.

I honestly didn't know that but it makes sense. I really thought the plane would crash maybe because that is how it is portrayed in movies.

ty bored panda I didn't know this

Why yes they do... Just ask Harrison Ford..... ( Just kidding lol Ford's plane was a single engine, and comercial planes can Land perfectly with half of their engines working )

Falling....with style!

And that being in a monogamous relationship doesn't make you less bi or pan. No I'm not just gay now because I'm with the same gender, no I'm not suddenly het because I married the opposite gender. Still pan, but monogamous!

Oooh. I had a boyfriend who'd wake me up early the mornings (although I had worked until late at night) because "women shouldn't be lazy". We broke up shortly. Nobody messes up with my sleep hours (let alone the entitlement and mansplaining).

If hate makes you feel good, go to a psychoanalyst.

Some have baking items, tools, dvds, etc

I feel this. Sometimes I go on a no meat kick. I love meat but for months on end, I can't eat it. Don't give a crãp if you want to eat every cow in existence.

You think if I make an hour long Youtube video about cheese being the key to immortality there are some people that would believe it?

Or the idea that diabetes is something you do to yourself. While being overweight is a risk factor (for type 2), so are a lot of other things like genetics.

isn't that like 7-8th grade biology?

Also, education is usually the best way out of situations that are conducive to crime. So the money used on the "war on drugs" would have been better spent in the education sector.

YES! And fitness is just about 30% of the process (or less). The main part is diet along with proper sleep

My dad worked for IBM, so he was the "fixit" for the entire family. After my dad's accident, I inherited the "fixit" position because I'm "just like him", apparently XD
