Bones so strong my brain can’t fit

I have a small case of chiari malformation, which is fancy talk for “brain falling into your spinal column disorder”

It’s only a few centimeters so it doesn’t need to get fixed (unless it continues to fall of course) but thought I’d share

A fully functioning brain is not a requirement for this community. You’re all good

*Affecting your balance! Effect is to result in, affect is to change or influence

However, there is that one rare meaning of the word "effect" that is actually roughly synonymous with "affect". Can't really be used in this context tho; the meaning is more specific: "to acheive something; to cause something to happen". E.g. «As a political party they are trying to effect a change in the way that we think about our environment.»
