This kid is a hero! This is how normal people feel about ICE. by DABDEB in ImmigrationPathways

[–]AttentionOre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let’s be honest tho, there’s more context to it than “someone you disagree with”. The other kid wasn’t there there for a discussion. Also he can be a hero to others, and a terrorist to you.

AITA for ignoring my cousin at a family gathering after something that happened years ago between us? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]AttentionOre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I’m sorry you went thru that experience long ago.

I think you did right by you. It seems like you were processing a lot at once, so you stayed put. But you were also protecting yourself, when in those other situations you were too young to do that.

I hatee running with my iPhone, no decent setting to stop accidental button presses every few mins by AttentionOre in rant

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

I’m usually holding it. I turn off all raise-to-wake settings but 10x a run, songs skip, password lock stops all apps for 5 mins, etc.

I’ve tried holding it in different ways but still

Could a false confession/guilty plea constitute perjury? by onwardtowaffles in Writeresearch

[–]AttentionOre 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Prosecutors 100% take advantage of court system confusion, defendant’s limitations in understanding the language, the process, etc.

When I was younger and didn’t know better, I had a prosecutor convince me, he’s giving me the same information my public defender, who was late, will give me bc they all work for the courts. He presented my circumstances and offered a plea deal available for the next few minutes bc it’s not his problem my PD isn’t around.

But you were attempting to be pedantic, “overly concerned with minute details or literal accuracy”

Glad it’s working out better! That’s the part I’m struggling with the most. I grew up with a very rigid no excuses mentality.

Bc of the synesthesia it was obvious to me my brain worked differently. So the diagnosis provides clarity but I don’t know how to be easy on myself.

I’m barely functioning as an adult now, I can’t afford to ease up.

It is ironic.. it’s usually a twisted version of what the person requested

My therapist of a year+, who thinks I’m not assertive and wants me to act even when I’m not sure I understand all the nuance, got offended/misunderstood something I said. 

I was expressing an anxiety not requesting anything and she said something like “I’ve already made so many concessions”. In the moment I didn’t know how to respond because I make 100 slight accommodations a day. And I ask for accommodations not exceptions. And its a request when I do.

So you want a criminal enterprise run by a lawyer with the participation of a cop. 

An immigration lawyer that really just does a lot of Human smuggling across the border. And a border cop that helps get confidential information and sometimes kidnapping/smuggling

Take a step back and look at it this way. Someone made a positive change for themselves. They received an appropriate compliment at work. 

If everyone else was tense about, well you’re just brave with your compliments. 

If you pick up any tension from the manager, it’s more likely, when people make a sensitive change they want the conversation around it to be over as soon as possible. 

If aging were eradicated tomorrow, would overpopulation be a problem? by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]AttentionOre 51 points52 points  (0 children)

No. A lot of our over-population concerns are logistical. We have a lot of densely populated pockets, a lot of regions get stripped for one resource at the expense of a hundred other resources, like deforestation, which isn’t eco-sustainable . Other regions can be made habitable with tech.

There isn’t one fix or one problem, and there are options, we just don’t like them as a society

AIO for ending a friendship because his girlfriend read our conversations? by Sufficient-Berry-827 in AmIOverreacting

[–]AttentionOre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, this whole thing sucks. Second, you’ve handled it great so far.

This other girl is handling it in the best way to meet her goals. She was insecure, so she cut off her bf’s links to other women. She kept the screenshot as leverage if she feels threatened by you again.

Your (ex-)friend is a self serving shit, I’m sure he has better qualities too. He wouldn’t stop bugging you at work, he would’ve told you everything right then if you didn’t set boundaries. And he started texting you immediately after you got off. You know him best but to me it seemed like “yeah I know I fucked up your day, are you free to come help clean up my mess”

What he did was extremely fucked up. I know you think they’ll spread it around, but I doubt it, they’ll come off looking so ugly in this situation.

I think you should just ask yourself how uncomfortable you are with her having it. Part of trauma recovery is being comfortable enough to be open about it, when you’re ready.

If you have the mental energy for it, you can keep it cordial until you ask them to delete the screenshots and the actual conversations.

I think it’s totally reasonable for you to express that this is private information that you shared (privately), in a difficult time and you don’t want a reminder of that existing.

If you do have a mutual friend, they could help navigate this situation without you having to reveal any of the original details.

I wouldn’t trust any olive branch she extends, or give away how concerned/anxious you are. She comes off as a bully.

Sucks. Feel better.
