@BradWilcoxIFS With peptides, I think those downsides will no longer be a thing. Theres literally more upsides to being a dad imo .
Not that I am a dad right now
In October 2006, Derek Amato dived into the shallow end of a swimming pool at a party in Colorado, hit his head on the concrete bottom, and woke up a pianist. He had never touched a piano in his life.
He was diagnosed with a severe concussion and lost 35% of his hearing and some of his memory.
Four days after the accident he sat down at a friend's piano and played complex, emotionally rich melodies for five hours straight.
He describes the experience as seeing black and white squares moving in a circular pattern in his mind, which guide his fingers across the keys.
“I just follow what the blocks tell me to do," he told CBS News.
He cannot read sheet music and cannot play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, but can improvise beautiful original compositions on demand.
Doctors diagnosed him with acquired savant syndrome, a rare condition in which dormant abilities emerge after a brain injury. There are only around 50 well-documented cases globally.
He was named Independent Artist of the Year by the LA Association of Independent Artists in 2007, released his debut album Full Circle, and has given a TED Talk about his experience.
He has continued playing piano for nearly 20 years since the accident and says he would not change what happened to him.
The injury cost him his hearing. It gave him something he still cannot fully explain.
@4thOfJuly365 There’s no courage when everyone is forced to fight wars directed by politicians and generals.
How about the Ukrainian soldiers forcefully drafted to the front line today?
Could you say they are less brave than the soldier who stormed the beach?
@AFpost I think lots of Indians will be happy with a lower population count too. Sure, it looks racist to be happy with their reduced birth count, but think about the future’s Indian kids.
An India that is no longer cramped, chiller.
That’s not the worst thing for India.
Two days of the so-called worst bloodbath in the stock market is just a 10-15% drop?
Rookie numbers.
Thanks to crypto, this shit is like another day of price action.
