Man, one thing I and our family learned in dealing with it with my Pops was just how incredibly varied the disease, particularly its progression, is. We were part of a support group with quite a few people, their disease was all different in symptoms, how those symptoms actually presented, how the disease progressed, and especially how quickly it progressed for some. Some people last years with slow progression, others like, like my dad, are taken quickly.
I truly believe that years down the line, as we gain more and better understanding, ALS will be split into subtypes, each defined progression.
ETA: I just realized I made three consecutive posts in this thread. Ah well, something hit me when I read the OP, and it brought back a lot.

My mom is at the end stages of ALS and it is a terrible thing to watch. Seriously, its inhumane that we allow people to go through the end stage of this disease.
I'm so sorry, OweO. It is an experience that works on your soul. I watched my Pops go from a healthy man who was always doing something, could never sit down to being pretty much bedridden, only able to use his arms (some how his grip never weakened, he could still put a painful handshake on you). Unable to talk, eat, do anything for himself. I tell people — not knowing if they fully understand — that the disease taking him so quickly (right around a year from diagnosis to his passing) was a blessing in a way.
I hope and pray for peace for you, your mother, and your family. It is a hopeless struggle that just wears you down. Hang in there.

It is. I hope no one ever gets it again and no person ever has to watch a loved one suffer and die from it. It is brutal.

Meh. We use them. There is no static and I don't have to deal with the shitty dryer sheets sticking to clothes, winding up in sheets, or some random place on the house/floor. They're fine with me.

They better damn sure have some better proof than the potato-vision bullshite that is the norm for "aliens". We didn't consistently vote for, encourage, and fund the largest, most sophisticated surveillance state flat Earth has ever known only to be fed the same old blurry, distorted, 5 second horseshite clips we're accustomed to.
The "proof" better at least be in 720p.

Dude went from bullying a guy over bottom tier shitty pizza to not knowing what planet he was on in less than a second. I just keep rewatching it. That uppercut came out of nowhere.

My Pops got a high end one through the ALS group/foundation in our area. It was a "Cadillac". It had to be returned after he passed. I have no doubt it cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Good question.
I think that is being "discussed" in another thread.

And then there is poor Sears (& Roebuck), the company that was Amazon a hundred and two years before Amazon was founded.

Trains are always sneaking up on people. I bet it took a hard, unexpected left turn and whacked the car.

Kind of off topic, but is there a way to get Twitter to show in order on your feed? It feels like it just pops up whatever it wants from days ago mixed into today.
That is mainly an issue on the "For You" feed.

And at some point you're going to have to understand and accept that politics is the most inflammatory and divisive topic on the planet, and that means there is plenty of money in covering it. You aren't changing people and entities chasing that money, so......see the second sentence.
