I don't know if this is the same but Sweden have a thing where you pay into a fund that helps victims of crimes. When a criminal gets convicted and has to pay a victim money, the state takes money out of the fund and pay the victim and then the fund tries to get the money from the criminal. This way it doesn't become the victims problem that the criminal can't pay.

Genies are magical, omnipotent beings. They are fully capable of existing in a universe with paradoxes. Guess who can't do that? A pasty little nerd that think he is clever.
The things that annoy us are things we are not used to. There are hundreds of things in your life that are equally annoying but since they have always been that way you don't notice them. That's why babies are the way they are. Everything us new and annoying.
I had the same instinct to tear them off but I told myself to not be a toddler and just got used to it within a week.
Well? Did he?!
Always fun to read headlines that could be featured in the first 5 minutes of a disaster movie.
By not being a trained nurse. Being wrong is pretty easy, you just have to not know things.
My perception was that if you get something like a stroke, the initial damage is horrendous and that usually don't heal. Any improvement is the brain offloading the lost functions to other parts of the brain. But once the damage is done and doctors and nurses stopped the source of the damage, I figured the brain would just remain where it was.
First of all, yes. The type of lawyer that work for insurance companies are the kind of person that would argue that everyone dies and a dead human has the same number of atom as an alive one.
My point is however a bit more human and practical. There are people that get dementia in their 40s without first having brain damage. There is no way of telling 100% if hers was a preexisting condition or not because most people don't do brain scans before being brain damaged and if the system can avoid paying the common man money they absolutely will.
Especially since the police has given thousands of people brain damage and concussions and paying everyone that gets dementia money would be very expensive so the justice system at large would not allow it.
The defense will also claim that there is no way to prove that the dementia wouldn't have occured regardless and they would be technically correct. The thing that needs to happen is to remove rubber bullets from the police arsenal.
There must be some kind of rule violation here right? There are tons of rules about only pointing your gun at people you are prepared to kill and acting as if guns are loaded at all times. Swinging a tank turret across the broad side of a civilian buss feels way worse.
