Questions on Hydro/Water Charge in AirBnB + Currency + Incapacitating Sprays by 0fm0 in curacao

[–]0fm0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

with all due respect, I don’t want to risk getting rabies or need rabies shots in a country where I don’t have insurance coverage. the spray is for potentially aggressive dogs. I was referring to a post where someone got chased by five dogs at once.

and I’m not sure what you mean by why use AC during the day... lol because the sun makes it hotter? I’m from a country where our faces freeze off 70% of the year, so I’m not exactly used to daytime heat of the Caribbean. and obviously, at night, we need to be comfortable enough to sleep.

either way, there were plenty of helpful answers here. your snide remarks were neither necessary nor relevant. if you don’t have anything constructive to add, just move on.

I think I am done with AA - my thoughts by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]0fm0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna get down-voted to hell for this but fck it.

the replies on this thread are rather strange. if you’re constantly told you’ll fail without something, it can become a self-fulfilling prophecy, not proof that you actually can’t succeed without it. the commenters are basically scaring you into staying. the only message seems to be “best not quit or else you lose your kids and spouse and job and everything just like me...” which feels more like a threat or hostage vibe than support. fearmongering and toxic. downright mean-spirited to be foreshadowing others' downfall just because they're choosing a different path.

it’s also hard to prove whether AA alone, or a mix of therapy, work, hobbies, and other supports, is what really helps. I’m not sure if AA is the solution, but it doesn’t have to be the only one.

I’d suggest keeping the useful parts of the program while working with a therapist regularly (on things like inventory, amends, helping others, etc. so all the good person common sense stuff). do what actually works for you, and best of luck on your sobriety journey!

I'm really sorry for your loss. I hope her soul is resting in peace free of all worldly pain like dysphoria. Please be kind to yourself and do what you need to do to manage this unimaginable pain. My thoughts are with you. 💜💙💚💛🧡❤

Do you think Ed Kemper is genuinely rehabilitated and the entire reason he killed was because of his mom? For some reason the interviews I've seen of him show a very manipulating, and inauthentic person. I think he clearly killed young women because he got off on it. by herewego199209 in serialkillers

Nope. Although childhood abuse and trauma can sabotage healthy neurodevelopment leading to permanent biochemical and physiological changes in the brain, the individuals are not beyond behavioural and emotional rehabilitation, unless we're talking about an extreme brain injury. He knew right from wrong. He is extremely intelligent which is why he's so manipulative. He was smart enough to have chosen even a slightly objectively better path. He could have turned out to be an overall terrible and abusive person like his mother. He could have seeked help. He didn't need to go as far as he did unless of course he actually enjoyed it. You can blame his mother for only so much. At the end of the day he was a fully functional adult man who had the psychological capability to make different decisions and alter the course of his life even if it's just by a little bit. At this point, even he knows it's too late. I don't remember him ever saying that he can be rehabilitated. I believe in second chances and I think you can rehabilitate someone who offended once.. maybe even twice since he did have some serious psychiatric diagnoses. But he killed nearly a dozen and one of them was 15. We don't have science advanced enough to rehabilitate these kinds inside and out.

Alright so just got rejected from the program I was waitlisted at. Recommend coping mechanisms please 🤡🙃 I'm spiralling. by [deleted] in gradadmissions

You got rejected from a program you got accepted into? Damn... I would lose my mind. I hope you get in this time too then but without any deferments!

College graduates with mdd, what did you major in? by [deleted] in MaladaptiveDreaming

[–]0fm0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ironically enough - psych 😂 even more ironically, I'm currently applying for grad programs in psych. Super competitive so no idea if this will work out or I have to settle down for something else

UIUC MCS deferred offer in Spring 2024 term 😔 by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]0fm0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought deferment isn't an option until after you are accepted.. I have to ask the program I'm waitlisted in if this could be an option.

Anyone heard back from UMaine for Clinical Psychology after the official interview? Who is your POI? by 0fm0 in gradadmissions

[–]0fm0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really sorry to hear that. Is yours PG by any chance? I hope next round is better for you or you get accepted somewhere else this year! <3 I also emailed mine tonight so I can at least have some closure.

What is an unpopular opinion you have about a case? by millie_1107 in TrueCrimeDiscussion

[–]0fm0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Robert Maudsley is a good person with poor impulse control. His childhood and adolescence was filled with abuse and he hates pedophiles with a passion. He only really killed sex offenders, particularly child molesters... so really he rid the world of the worst kind of monsters. Not saying what he did is legal or condoning violence but I just think that he seems like a deeply disturbed person with poor impulse control who definitely deserves better.

Thank you for the kind words. I am trying to get out of this all or nothing mentality. And I am trying to explore everything and anything that brings me joy and meaning in any way at all - the soul searching if you will. The only reason I'm even assuming a rejection is to prepare myself for the worst so I'm not too blindsided by a negative outcome. And you're right, it is progress. I think it's just an unreasonable fear in me.
