Assuming there’s enough supernatural power to sustain a torture pit of fire for all eternity, It’s probably trivial to just have you suffer non-stop regardless of any hypothetical limits.
However, even in real life pain receptors are distinct receptors in your body that don’t dull themselves after a while, the way our smell and sight receptors do
Yeah exactly, for them it’s about the culture, in which language is a huge factor.
My friend talked a lot about the forces at work. Not all of it was simple capitalism. Disabled people are notoriously hard to design for because each disabled person is different and has different needs. This kind of business is not scalable and disabled people are already a minority. Even proper hand wheelchairs are fucking expensive cuz only a couple companies make them.
I went to a NTID school, the community there does not consider themselves to have a “disability” literally. To them, it’s just a language.
If by “not even hard” you mean “costs as much as a car”, then sure. My friend also let me know just how costly power chairs are.
I’ll echo the words of my friend, who is a permanent wheelchair user:
“Yes, I identify with my disability as part of who I am, but I would still take a cure without hesitation”
Yes, people with disabilities identify with their disability, so even in a fantasy setting I can see how their disability would be part of their character.
But every disabled person I know would figuratively leap at the opportunity to reverse their disability with magic. It is also basically impossible to use a wheelchair while holding something like a wand or a staff or a fireball in one hand, so if there’s enough magic around to push a wheelchair, there’s probably enough to make your legs work. That’s why somebody has a good reason not to expect a wheelchair in a fantasy world. I can see how somebody who doesn’t really know any disabled people would panic at the idea of a wheelchair being part of the narrative or something like that, and I can sympathize with it.
Categorically false.
Many people with down syndrome live fulfilling, independent lives, and even have children with other people who have down syndrome
The amount that pops into my head is big enough that I’d say I don’t need it.
It may complicate your life though. You’d have no explanation of who you are or why you’re there.

I haven’t a lot useful to say among the comments that are already here but I will say most broadly:
Democracy in the work place. Corporations and industries are too big and affect too many people to be governed by individuals that are just there to own it, and make a profit for themselves. Things need to be run for the common good by actually representing all stakeholders fairly.
I see! I didn’t know respiration only referred to what animals do. I figured they were both two sides of the same coin
Breathing farts is a funny idea, but the product of plants’ respiration is not at all comparable to farts. It’s comparable to breath
Oh my God it’s spez
You won’t hear from the ones that don’t.
Well, that is a pretty ridiculous interpretation.
Workplace democracy would most likely and most broadly refer to all employees of a company having a say in how the company is run. Either by voting on policies and changes, or by electing people to various executive/representative roles, much the same way that current Western democracies work.
An example of the janitor voting on where the surgeon makes a cut makes about as much sense as us voting on where the president flies in his helicopter. At best, it doesn’t pass the make sense test, and at worst is a bad faith interpretation of what people mean when they say “workplace democracy”
A lot of those tests have already been done and were used almost exclusively to enforce segregation.
What will benefit the children born in 200 years?
just by being the biggest player in the system so all the activity is on their server, then they shut it down and leave the rest of the drivers with a big hole in the community.
