There seems to be this trend of masochistic behavior in the US. Where we take pride in our injuries and illness, bragging about working and pushing ourselves while we are suffering. The whole time telling ourselves it’s not that bad. It’s definitely stood out more since Covid, it’s stupid behavior though.
CAPTCHA was never about keeping bots or AI out. It was always about tracking people. That’s why you get more of the “select correct images” CAPTCHAs the more you hide who you are online. It’s not that they are trying to figure out if you are a bot, it that they are trying to figure out who you are period. Interactions with a site exchange information the more interactions the more information they get. Also they can’t make a profit selling your information, they might as well use your free labor to train their AI.
Every time my siblings or I had anything anyone considered a concussion. They couldn’t walk in a straight line, were throwing up when standing up. My sister got a concussion from a bad go-cart crash (it went through the barrier and fake wall). She was shaky on her feet for 3days, and had bad bruising all over her face. My brother fell head first over a raised porch railing into rocks, about 5ft. They had to glue the skin back together on his forehead because they couldn’t sew it the edges wouldn’t meet. Ever since he’s plagued by migraines especially when his sinuses are full. I was doing backflips on a trampoline, landed in the “cannon ball” position on the back of my neck/head. This slammed my right knee into my eye socket, giving me a spectacular black eye. But nearly immediately I got intense vertigo, nausea. If I closed my eyes it felt like I was falling, but I felt so tired. This lasted the rest of the day and I had be injured before noon.
Sure my mom might dramatically call a toddlers spill a concussion. But I my experience she only remembers that for like a week maybe. What she remembers and tells doctors and others about years later are the bleeding throwing up kind. Not saying I can tell she had serious concussions, just it would be really weird to report a little head bump and bruise for this kind of thing.
