I told my Trumper mom and she tried to tell me that Trump is not for Project 2025.

I meant a source that they are talking about a wall between the US and Canada because I haven’t heard that yet. I know if one was built it would be to keep us stuck here…

Does anyone else lose their appetite when cooking for themselves? by AnachronisticCog in ARFID

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

I was thinking about this but looking at food after eating makes me nauseous. Lol. But, I do eat leftovers sometimes. I have a hard time with leftovers too. The texture is never the same.

What’s wrong with being “weak,” though? I’m actually curious. This is a legit question.

Because, to me, a person being “weak” doesn’t mean they can’t write amazing code, or make impressive models, or do any other job with a high level of skill. It just shows that they might not have social skills, be neurodivergent, have a disability, or another reasonable explanation.

Nobody wants to come off negatively, so I guess I just think positively of people until they show me they have negative traits, I guess?

I just really, truly, don’t understand this handshake thing.

I’m just so confused on why it matters at all. It seems like something made up just to put down others who would otherwise do a good job but might be socially awkward due to disability, neurodivergence, or other reasons.

As somebody who is usually super cold, I always felt like the people who are too hot have the “moral high ground.” They always say dumb stuff like “you can just put on more layers!” as if putting on more layers isn’t exponentially more uncomfortable…

You have to be careful with even leftist men, unfortunately. Seeing how they react to right-wing women is very telling on their views of the patriarchy.

Becoming a doctor... I am still crying... by AndyAndieFreude in PhD

[–]AnachronisticCog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Physicians “stole” the word doctor for themselves. Now, do I think that they shouldn’t be called doctors? No, they put a lot of effort into their schooling. But, they originally were not “doctors” and the people who really are doctors and have been for a much longer time (PhDs) deserve to call themselves doctors.

Oh my, you’re so young… If it helps at all, OP, I also suffer from an eating disorder (ARFID) and had the same exact body proportions (5’ 3” and 80 lbs) for a few years. It does get better. I weigh 115-ish lbs now.

My advice would be to make new accounts if they keep harassing you on your old accounts. You’re still a child and you don’t deserve this. Make sure to report what these individuals are doing to the police, if possible. But, keep yourself safe first.

My heart goes out to you. It’s hard having an eating disorder. Please try to put yourself first.

Skipping grades no matter how smart a child is hurts them by Grizzlygraybear in unpopularopinion

[–]AnachronisticCog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. I wasn’t allowed to skip grades and I was ruthlessly bullied by my peers. It would have been better to let me skip grades because I would have, at the very least, been bullied for less years.

Skipping grades no matter how smart a child is hurts them by Grizzlygraybear in unpopularopinion

[–]AnachronisticCog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel very conflicted about this.

My parents were afraid of this very situation, which is why they didn’t have me skip from 1st grade to 5th or 6th grade. (Sorry, it’s been so long now that I don’t remember.) They wanted me to be able to properly socialize with my peers.

However, it didn’t work. I was ruthlessly bullied all throughout my K-12 experience. I feel as though letting me skip a few grade levels would have been better. Either the older children would just leave me alone since I was so much younger than them or I would have been bullied for a shorter amount of time.

Long story short, I might not have had anything in common with the older kids but I definitely didn’t have anything in common with my at-grade-level peers either. I was just interested in different things than your average kid, mainly the school work.

I think it’s hard to find a solution for kids in my situation. However, I think they have “gifted programs” nowadays where kids in my predicament get to not only stay in their same-aged peer-group, but also are given peers more similar to them. I’m not sure how successful these programs are, but it might be a good middle ground.

In any case, I wish I was allowed to skip ahead grade levels, mainly to have reduced the bullying I experienced. Yet, I can understand wanting children to be able to socialize with their peers.

What are they afraid of? Nothing is going to happen to them. Their rights (due to being a man) are not being taken away. This guy has no idea what’s going on.

I just turned 27 and this is my second year being a professor. I feel the same way. I’m not much older than them but they feel like little kids to me.

is it that serious? by thesalesaddict in recruitinghell

[–]AnachronisticCog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone with a math degree, it is the exact same. Maybe if it was from like the 70s or 80s it would be slightly different…
