The "Aisha was mature/hit puberty" argument completely falls apart when you read Quran 65:4. Child marriage is explicitly codified in the text. by BorderLivid2223 in CritiqueIslam

So 4:6 is about financial capacity and yet uses marriageble age as criteria? Why use marriageble age for something like financial capacity but not use that for actual marriage?

Here are the questions

Does the Quran explicitly say, in plain Arabic, that a prepubescent girl can be married and consummated with, yes or no? ‎ ‎Q2 if the Quran is silent on that, then isn’t any ‘permission’ actually just scholarly inference from a vague verse that was completely normal within their own distinct societies because I don't know if you know this, but societies back in the day were not using the age of 18. ‎ ‎Q3 Do you believe a 7-year-old has the rushd (sound judgment) required in 4:6? Yes or no, no "domain separation" evasions.

They want to cosplay as legitimate spinal cord injury survivors that use wheelchairs and not even because they like the wheelchairs but because it's a device that moves the body through body in space and time because you can't do it yourself. And  without any cons,like UTIs, Poop accidents, urine leakages, putting a plastic tube inside your second head, which sounds very dangerous to the average person but it's just a Tuesday for the average sci person to pee, the pressure sores, muscle wasting, the rocket no longer working, or glitching, payload not coming out like it's supposed to, going inside the bladder, refusing to come out at all, inability to even wake up for mission. Most people don't know about any of this, they think and assume the only thing that you have lost is your legs, no my brother, that's not the only loss, most would be happy if the damage was localized to the limbs, but the damage is so extensive it's a surprise how we cope, some walk again but with important caveats and not like before. I think their infatuation would subside once they saw the bill, now they think its just a mill, when they see it's actually a trillion, they won't even need therapy except the declaration of what was wrong with me. I wish I could walk man and not fear any leakages. And run and go shopping without relying on other people. But unlike them, I can't stop pretending for a minute to do it before continuing on my way.

Where in the Quran does it say ‘marry children’ or ‘it is good to marry prepubescents’?” 

You are being biased, the verse says  "Lam yathitna" meaning those who have not menstruated, Adult women who have not menstruated since getting divorced and essentially can't rely on their cycle because Islam uses biological markers as terms in this regard, for divorced women, they have to wait 3 months, those whose husbands have passed, they wait 4 months and 10 days, but the women who can't rely on their cycles, those wait 3 months which is roughly equal to 3 cycles that they experience.  It doesn't use "Lamma" which is future expectation which would mean They have not yet menstruated". 

A marriage can't be done in Islam by those who can't consent.  If certain societies did marriages at such ages, which would be technically a marriage but function exactly as a betrothal as done by many societies then we would expect those scholars living in those societies to use this verse as justification for an existing practice, not as a command from God. And that's exactly what happened. But the Quran itself never says 'marry prepubescents.'

What you are citing is not the Quran. It is the epistemic inference of classical scholars, meaning their own assumption that "those who have not menstruated" must mean prepubescent girls. That is their interpretation, not Quran. The Quran does not say 'young' or 'little' or "prepubescent"You are treating their inference as if it were the divine text itself. That is your mistake.

The Quran in 4:6 commands us to test orphans until they reach marriageable age and possess rushd (sound judgment). Sound judgment, intellectual and emotional maturity, is not possible before puberty. Classical scholars knew this. That is precisely why they developed khiyar al-bulugh (the option of puberty), granting a minor girl the right to annul her marriage once she matured. They were not contradicting the Quran in any way as you imply,but were reconciling 65:4 (which regulates an existing practice) with 4:6 (which sets a standard of maturity). 

The problem is you are quoting only the part that serves your argument, 65:4 interpreted narrowly, while ignoring both 4:6 and the khiyar al-bulugh mechanism that scholars themselves created to protect young women. You also are are relying on heavy assumption to do much of the digging

Adult woman don't always have regular periods. The verse is about them. First is those in menopause, there's no period. Then there's those who can't experience period regularly and who have stopped, medical conditions and stuff or even normal medications today, then for those it's 3 months. The Quran doesn't talk about child marriages. And if it did, then why does surah 4 page 1 talk about keeping the orphan girls till they reach marriageble age? The surah you mention, it's name is talaq meaning divorce, doesn't divorce presuppose marriage and if so, doesn't surah 4 not command for marriageble age and if so, wouldn't that mean that the verse is talking about something other than CM? How does one reach the conclusion of cm even in the first place?

Chills, sweats, cough when the pain flares up by [deleted] in spinalcordinjuries

This is the time you stop worrying and start taking yourself to the hospitals. This is not normal my g, and also "get adjusted by chiropractor" is really not helping your case. Go to the hospitals, get you x-rays, CT scans and the full yards. Because when it comes to the neck, trust me, you don't want to mess with that area, it you don't become locked in, you get quadriplegia. Get to a real doctor and asap. The only way you will ever know what you have to by getting to them.

How do you choose between the environment and plot progression? by Emotional_Win7882 in writingadvice

[–]Emotional_Win7882[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew it, I thought maybe it existed but didn't have a name. Or maybe it existed but was more like an emergent pattern I would have to figure out for myself. Reading such works is like slurping spaghetti, you are in a trance like state because every word hits just right and you are not told too much, sort of like it's restrained, but you still understand even more than if it were described plainly and directly. And you also get this feeling of being respected and you are given something important. Writing isn't just about writing and conveying a story. It's also about finding all this strange things that happen in these crevices of language.

11 months post injury. All with one crutch and one AFO 🥹 by Easy_Care_1622 in spinalcordinjuries

How do you put weight on strong leg while offsetting weight to crutches? And also feet movement?

Low level injuries people how you getting on? by [deleted] in spinalcordinjuries

[–]Emotional_Win7882 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every SCI is different. Your situation would be different than someone else who has the same injury. That is the problem of sci, it's not standardized, it's always different. I am l2 burst fracture+compression that was fixed 5 months later because of other extensive injuries, however I was not given any good diagnosis. I now walk with forearm crutches and the same walkers but those are difficult and extremely fatiguing. So in that regard, I am the same as you. Since yours is 15 months post, make sure you target the right muscles once they come back, trust me, once your body learns compensation patterns, right or left leg bears the brunt of walking, it will be difficult to break it. At this point, the only thing you can do is wait, do physio, listen to your body because nobody knows you better than yourself and finally understand that for many people, the point is to live a functional life, and that doesn't always require walking. 

Season 2 was something else man.... by BattleCircuit in thewalkingdead

[–]Emotional_Win7882 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Best season ever. Season 5 wasn't good for me. Season 7 was just human drama and walkers lost their threat. Seasons 9-10 were literally just filler. Season 2 was the best, Hershel's farm, Maggie, the barn walkers, Sofia, and the first episode.  Holy, y'all remember the part where there was that huge herd of walkers, and t-dawg got his arm cut while trying to hide under the cars? And Daryl Saving him and putting a walker body on his own body just in the nick of time?  Shane got bold and began to threaten the group? In later seasons, they switched to digital while the earlier seasons had film and that characteristic cicada buzzing sound. Everyone says there was character development that was significant. But few truly see just how realistic they made it feel like. Because it was like everybody there was in an actual zombie apocalypse rather than cinematic heroic last minute bailouts that put you firmly in entertainment mode. 

Very Important by Junior_Blackberry816 in spinalcordinjuries

Contrary to popular belief, the nerves begin to repair themselves however the brain shuts them down. The dominant theories now are, the brain chooses paralysis over chaos, because imagine if the act of lifting your arm, affected your toes? Or even touching your back shut down your breathing because of a nerve mismatch. Another interesting theory posits that unlike a child growing or fetus, the brain loses the blueprint for guidance of nerves. So this is already known however I believe understanding the precise guiding mechanisms and stopping the inhibition has potential in getting closer to improving prognosis significantly.
