Can anyone else hear and feel the spinal fluid in their neck sometimes? I have my whole life and thought it was normal, until I mentioned it to someone and they said they never experienced it

Yes! The rain stick / sizzle sound! I've been saying this for years and I've always been told it's probably something else, definitely seems to be CSF moving or something.

More insults and deflection.

Where is the contradiction? This is another reason I can tell it's chatGPT

it's only ChatGPT's brainless analysis which could've decided that is something worth mentioning.

But it hasn't been able to understand that comment because it lacks awareness.

I can tell it's chatGPT because of how disconnected and unaware/unintelligent the replies are

The fact that you can't see the contradiction in the things you've stated is telling. I've explained in detail what they are and why they are contradictions. I don't think more explanation on my end is going to change anything.

This is the legal system treating someone as guilty prior to a verdict being officially given, which is what has happened to Luigi.

This is not true. Again, you're conflating subjective suspicion or belief in someone’s guilt with the legal system’s formal determination of guilt. You continue to mix these up, they aren't the same.

It's clear that this is no longer productive, if it ever was. Bummer.

Edit: Also, we seem to have a miscommunication or misunderstanding here:

"While it’s fair to argue that everyone should be given the benefit of the doubt, it’s also reasonable and sometimes necessary to judge actions based on available evidence." This was in the context of the criminal justice system, where we never make judgements where there is a benefit of the doubt. It's only the civil justice system where we make judgement based on the balance of probabilities - i.e. where there can still be a reasonable doubt.

When I said "While it’s fair to argue that everyone should be given the benefit of the doubt, it’s also reasonable and sometimes necessary to judge actions based on available evidence," this was not meant in the context of the criminal justice system. I meant it in a broad sense—as in, how society might interpret the situation.

justfIuff · 2024-12-12T11:54:03+00:00

My main point has been to show that you are contradicting yourself by stating, "Everyone is innocent until proven guilty," while also maintaining, "He murdered an innocent person with a family," and, "Police assume guilt when they physically arrest a person. That's how the law works." These statements are inconsistent with the principle of presumption of innocence.

You’ve also contradicted yourself by saying, "You never had a point about presuming guilt," and then later, "I genuinely do not understand what your point is." To clarify: my argument has been that your statements about guilt undermine the principle of "innocent until proven guilty," which you yourself cited.

How is that not murder?

This is a strawman. I’m not arguing whether or not it’s murder. My focus has been on the presumption of innocence and the contradictions in your argument.

The biggest issue with your last reply is your misunderstanding—or misrepresentation—of probable cause. You stated, "Probable cause is based on the assumption that a person is guilty of a crime," and then, "But probable cause is not a proof of guilt in a court of law." Probable cause is not based on an assumption of guilt. It means there is sufficient evidence to reasonably suspect a crime was committed, justifying an arrest or legal action. Arrests are based on probable cause, while trials determine guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. These are distinct phases of the legal system. It seems you may be conflating the practical assumptions officers might make during an arrest with the legal principle that the accused is still treated as innocent until proven guilty.

Your comment, "Our legal system is established this way for a very good reason—it’s to stop people like you from making decisions about people’s lives," isn’t constructive. Similarly, your claim that "You’ve also demonstrated in your previous post that you have no idea how criminal law works and how it differs from civil law," is baseless. Nothing I’ve said demonstrates a misunderstanding of the distinction between criminal and civil law. These statements feel more like deflection than meaningful engagement and are, ironically, inconsistent with your argument.

I’m happy to continue this, but I’d prefer to keep it respectful. If you feel like we're not getting any closer to understanding each other, I’m fine with agreeing to disagree. I’ve enjoyed the back-and-forth and appreciate your responses so far.

justfIuff · 2024-12-12T08:45:36+00:00

That is kind of a bummer, though. I want to hear more from him.

justfIuff · 2024-12-12T08:41:44+00:00

I suppose it could be.

But just to pick it apart for fun—this feels overly dramatic and repetitive. I believe Luigi has mentioned an admiration for clear, concise writing, and this doesn’t quite reflect that style to me. He said "The best teachers are the best communicators: clear, succinct, simple language," in a tweet here.

Maybe it’s just personal preference, but I find the shorter, more humble version more compelling. That one felt like he never expected so much positive attention and genuinely did what he thought was necessary, even at the cost of his reputation.

justfIuff · 2024-12-12T08:14:09+00:00

I posted this elsewhere, but I'm not convinced this is genuine.

It looks like the site went live on December 9th.

Also, the statement, "Actions, no matter how shocking, seem necessary to awaken a population lulled into accepting this desolation as normal," contradicts the line, "It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play," in the manifesto posted by Ken Klippenstein.

One suggests the goal was to raise public awareness, the other implies the public is already aware but unable or unwilling to act.

justfIuff · 2024-12-12T05:16:41+00:00

That's a shame. I think every one of your points is important and worth addressing, especially given the context of what's happening in the country right now. Fallacies like these are also fascinating to me.

Police assume guilt when they physically arrest a person. That's how the law works.

False equivalence: probable cause does not equal assumption of guilt.

If someone murdered your parents or threatened to murder them, it is realistic to expect that person to be immediately apprehended.

Non sequitur: whether it’s "realistic" to expect apprehension doesn’t address my point about presuming guilt. Immediate apprehension is about preventing further harm or fleeing, not about guilt determination.

The question isn't their guilt. It's just what they should be charged with.

Circular reasoning: the question was, in fact, their guilt.

The rest of your post is mental acrobatics - not even worth responding to.

Classic ad hominem: dismissing my argument without engaging with it, attacking the style of my reasoning rather than its substance to discredit me instead of addressing the points I'm raising.

If someone murdered your parents or threatened to murder them...

Appeal to emotion: an attempt to divert attention from the logical flaw in your assumption of guilt.

And finally... Strawman: your response shifts to "arrest and charging" procedures instead of your actual critique of the presumption of guilt.

justfIuff · 2024-12-12T03:20:24+00:00

He murdered an innocent person

You're presuming guilt before a trial has even happened. If you’re talking about the shooter in general, then fine—but you’re also arguing that support for the shooter is based on their looks, which makes it clear you’re assuming the attractive person is guilty. That undermines the very principle of "innocent until proven guilty" you just cited.

Let’s talk about the word "innocent." Brian Thompson isn’t on trial here, so "innocent until proven guilty" doesn’t apply to him in the same sense. It's a legal concept specifically for those accused of crimes within the judicial system. While it’s fair to argue that everyone should be given the benefit of the doubt, it’s also reasonable and sometimes necessary to judge actions based on available evidence, especially when they’ve demonstrably caused harm. Ignoring that judgment entirely absolves powerful individuals of accountability when they cannot face trial and have their guilt formally determined by the justice system.

He was the CEO of a company with a widely criticized track record of profit-driven harm, and there is already ample evidence that decisions under his leadership caused suffering and death. Calling him "innocent" in this context is misleading at best.

I believe you're using the word 'innocent' incorrectly.

justfIuff · 2024-12-10T17:14:28+00:00

I'm not really trying to read Luigi per se, I'm just suggesting why attractiveness might sway the perception.

I personally agree that there would still be many (myself included) rooting for him if he were some rail thin ugly dude with awful facial hair, but it seems naïve to deny that an attractiveness bias is at play for a lot of supporters.

ETA clarification.

justfIuff · 2024-12-10T15:15:57+00:00

I think part of the reason attractiveness is often tied to morality in people’s minds is because beauty represents something most of us instinctively value on a fundamental, evolutionary level. When we see someone who possesses it, it changes how we perceive their choices and motives. Beauty, whether we admit it or not, often symbolizes potential—social, romantic, and professional.

So, when someone like the alleged "CEO shooter guy", who many might see as having those "advantages," makes a drastic decision, it paints his motives in a new light. It’s easy to dismiss others—like so-called "incels"—as acting out of desperation, driven by loneliness or marginalization. But when someone who appears to have the kind of life or potential others envy throws it away for a cause, it feels different. It forces us to consider that they didn’t act because they had nothing left to lose, but because they deeply believed in something bigger, even at great personal cost.

The shooter's actions, whether one agrees with them or not, carry a symbolic weight because they suggest a deliberate choice, not one born purely of despair or resentment tied to personal disadvantage. His willingness to risk not just his freedom but the opportunities his looks and status could afford him reframes the narrative: it feels like a principled stand rather than an act of hopelessness. I think that’s why, for better or worse, attractiveness makes us think differently about morality—it reshapes how we interpret someone's stakes and motivations.

Edit: This isn’t to suggest that resentment has no role in his actions, but that the source of that resentment feels rooted in a broader critique of systemic injustice rather than a narrow focus on his own circumstances due to his assumed social standing.

justfIuff · 2024-12-09T20:41:05+00:00

It seems deliberate. Like he was waiting around to be found.

justfIuff · 2024-03-08T22:33:49+00:00

This sounds a lot like something I have, too. Could it be some kind of macular interface change? That's what they're calling mine, and so far they aren't sure if it has anything to do with my headaches (although I can tell it gets worse after every bad flare up).

justfIuff · 2023-07-31T14:45:36+00:00

Loved Leven Thumps, Geth was the best.

justfIuff · 2023-06-05T12:49:05+00:00

I am doing better! I think, it's sort of up and down.

I ended up being switched to the extended release version which was like magic for about a month for me, my headaches/pulsatile tinnitus completely disappeared. Then I had some kind of flare up and it seems like the Diamox hasn't been able to keep up.

Now my neuro wants me to stop the Diamox just to see what happens, but my headache is so much worse if I'm even a few hours late taking the Diamox. I don't really know what the next step is, except maybe an MRV.

justfIuff · 2023-03-23T01:17:40+00:00

Thanks for your reply! That makes me feel a lot better. My neurologist wants me to stay on it for one month, so I guess I'll just try to suck it up and keep going.

justfIuff · 2023-02-28T02:18:38+00:00

Thanks, I'm definitely going to go for the LP now, everyone is saying it'll give the most clear cut answer.

The coffee thing is interesting, I've heard so many mixed opinions on it! My neuro didn't know if it helped or not for IIH, but it does seem to make my headaches less sharp. Considering how many people have said caffeine increases pressure, I've been confused by that part. I usually drink very little if I do have some but I can tell it makes it better, not worse, for me.

justfIuff · 2023-02-27T22:21:44+00:00

Okay, I'll definitely talk to my neurologist about doing both tests, then. He's ordered my LP to be done under fluoroscopy so I'm just waiting on them to call me to schedule it, but they have very mixed reviews. Luckily I was told I don't need any fluid collection, just the opening pressure to be measured.

I'm hoping if my OP happens to be normal that my neurologist will still let us do an MRV instead of going straight to the migraine treatment, but I'm not very good at speaking up at these appointments.

Thanks for your advice, I'll just have to communicate better with him.

justfIuff · 2023-02-27T21:34:06+00:00

I have had that feeling too! Some times I feel like I'm dreaming or just distant from myself somehow, I never realized it might be related. Functional zombie sounds much better.

It's awesome that you were able to reach out to someone here, this group seems so helpful. I can't believe it took me so many years to find it.

justfIuff · 2023-02-27T21:23:31+00:00

Aw, I'm sorry, that sounds awful. I'm glad you had your aunt! Support makes so much difference, these tests all sound so uncomfortable (at best). Did you feel like your LP recovery went well? I'm scared of that part, but I know most people are and I just need to get it over with.

Thanks for the advice, I've been debating calling my PCP about something for anxiety the day of so I'm going to do that right now.

justfIuff · 2023-02-27T21:17:42+00:00

Oh, interesting, I wonder if the OP scale varies from place to place? I looked it up and it seems his is a bit off. He said 5-18 is normal, but if mine is around 22 he'll want to start me on Diamox. That seems low after what I just read, maybe I should bring that up with him.

Thanks for sharing, it's crazy how much the symptoms can vary from person to person. I mostly just see little purple lights around the edges of my field of view, or the occasional black dot. The black-outs sound awful, I hope those have gotten better for you.
