Autoimmune Disease Acts Like Demonic Possession

Susannah Cahalan started feeling a bit off. Numbness on one side of the body, losing sleep, crying hysterically one minute and laughing the next. She went to get MRIs but they showed nothing. Things were getting a bit more strange.

Her boyfriend told her how at one point while they were watching a show together she started grinding her teeth, moaning, and biting her tongue until she finally passed out. He took her to the hospital and they found out it was a seizure. Her first of many. Things got worse.

She stopped eating, became paranoid and delusional, had more seizures in which blood would spurt out of her mouth. She was hospitalized (one nurse recalls that in the middle of the night while she was getting blood, Susannah sat up straigh and slapped her). Numerous tests were done and the doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong.

That is until Dr. Souhel Najjar came into the picture. He asked her to draw a clock. When she showed him what she had drawn he knew exactly what was wrong with her. All the numbers were written on the right side of the clock face, and no numbers were on the left side.

She had anti-NMDAR encephalitis. The receptors in the frontal lobe, responsible for cognitive reasoning, and the limbic system, or the emotional center of the brain, are under assault by the immune system. In other words, her body was attacking her brain. Nearly 90% of people that suffer from this go undiagnosed and it is more common in women.

You can literally make anything and anyone problematic if you try hard enough seriously give me people and things and I’ll make them all “problematic” right now.

Dogs.

I don’t even have to do this one because PETA did it first by insinuating domestication is inherently abusive.

The sky

Used to trick and mock anyone who asks “what’s up?” A bullying tactic.

Super Mario Bros.

Stereotypes Italians, enforces the narrative of women who need men to rescue them, and encourages violence against turtles.

John Mulaney

He was over on the bench and he SAW what they did to Tyler and he did NOTHING.

Omfg

Pokemon

Making your pets fight repeatedly is animal abuse.

OP

OP literally argued that dogs were problematic but go off I guess

What’s funny is that this actually happened. 

I’m unfamiliar with this story please elaborate

Finnish soldier gets separated from the rest of his unit but he’s the only one carrying the emergency amphetamines for the unit, takes too many and goes on a one man rampage for like 2 weeks straight giving the opposing Soviet soldiers nightmares for decades. Oh and he did it all on skis. 

Did he survive?

Yes, during his methed up 2-3 week rampage he got injured by a land mine, travelled 400km on skis, and only ate pine buds and a Siberian Jay that he caught which he ate raw. When he made it back to Finnish lines he was taken to a hospital where it was found his heart rate was nearly 200 beats per minute and his weight had dropped to 43kg (94.7lbs).

His name was Aimo Koivunen if you want to look him up

Those are the eyes of a man who has seen god and laughed

Well, the hate bus started its tour today. At the first stop in Clarkston, the bus was met by at least two hundred local protesters. Williams had only two supporters in attendance.  The hate bus was late showing up, late rolling out, and despite his slogan of “#FearlessConservative” Williams was too scared to get out of the bus and talk to anyone who actually lived in the community. What a chickenshit.

Update: The hate bus, already way behind schedule because Cracker Barrel banned it from their parking lots, broke down in Dalton, Georgia (Michael Williams blamed “radical liberals” for putting water in the tank). But they finally got it running again only to be greeted by a mariachi band in Dahlonega today:

Seven months later comes the best Christmas present of all:

He burglarized his own cryptocurrency farm and tried to blame antifa, but the insurance company didn’t believe him.

THX Just Shared the Original Sheet Music for its ‘Deep Note’ for the First Time

Look at this lad. Image: THX, Ltd.The Deep Note, the distinctive synthesized crescendo that is THX’s audio trademark, is one of the most iconic sounds in all of film. For the effects firm’s 35th anniversary, they’ve now shared the sheet music behind the sound.

thanks i hate it

how dare you i love it

I can hear this image and I’m crapping myself as is standard

Can you imagine a choir singing this and how chilling that would sound

The whoosh is in D Major!

It got better: in a capella (please make this guy famous, his talent is unmatched)

i just played the video and my cat sat straight up and looked like she’d seen a ghost

This is the uncompressed audio of the original.  I have been trying to blow the paint off my walls with it for the last fifteen minutes.

That’s Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That’s because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change.

Follow @the-future-now

Reblog if you:

• Have an iPhone and are in need of repairs
  
• Have a friend with that problem
• Hate Apple and are more than happy to spite them in some way

No one will know which is it
