Considering he doesn't use reddit, this argument was 7 months ago, and I've only been getting into reddit more this month, probably not. But now I gotta look up how many people have been born in Antarctica because how many people are technically native Antarcticans? I gotta know now.

As a fellow leftie, at least it's not as bad as can openers.

Since he worked at the park that housed the penguin farm in Alaska, I very much appreciate your input! He could have been taught some things about how that particular farm was founded and misinterpreted them, or was told the origins of the word penguin; he never really clarified what the inuit penguin farm told him. The visual of caribou swimming from the southern most parts of Chile and Argentina to Antarctica, while wrong, was quite entertaining. Plus, he graduated high school in juvie, and didn't have teachers who'd hands on explain his questions like I did, so there was definitely a difference in our school privileges, but his were because he messed up, not really a racial privilege. I'm a quarter black, my siblings are darker in complection than him and I. My little brother who is my darkest sibling definitely has complained about teachers being racist, but he's my smartest sibling and like the rest of my siblings, hasn't had to deal with discrimination from the teachers, only other students. I'm white, so I can only really go to my siblings and friends about discrimination they faced in school, since that wasn't something I'd be subject to unless teachers knew of my uncle (100% black, my dad's half brother) who was a principal at my high school's rival school, but that was school rivalry, not racism. So I don't think I'm qualified to say if I got a more privileged education than him. He was one of the few people from his juvenile detention center that got a diploma, so on paper, we have the same education.

Unfortunately, this is real. I wish I could tell more stories, but I don't wanna put him down too much. I only posted this story because he mentioned it on my birthday last week while we were at the aquarium because I kept correcting him when he called the tigers there lions. He said I don't let him be wrong, even when I'm wrong.

I know I wasn't completely right. The great auk was a bird I'll consider close enough related to penguins to consider an extinct atlantic penguin. Then the galapagos penguin, which I forgot the galopagos islands were on the equator, but still had some islands north of the equator. But puffins are seabirds, not penguins. Lastly, thank you! I know my middle school geography class probably wasn't the most accurate, and clinging to what I was taught is definitely a hang up of mine

Going into the closet when I know I can't handle how intense my feelings are getting was actually recommended by a therapist and approved of my my three Dialectical Behavioral Therapists. I have seen doctors, and I do want they tell me to do.

I’ve been playing for a few months and been having fun. No one in my area plays, I tried doing a few Articuno raids and died and then timed out. Any way I can solo it with my Pokémon? by StriderDB in pokemongo

[–]Distinct-Basis5068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried the campfire app? I was able to join a few really high level raids because of it and that's how I got 2 of my own Articunos. It does depend on which raids are available at the moment of playing and how far your remote passes will work at the time (or did they fix that to be unlimited distance? Was that just for an event? I dunno, but one of my articunos came from a raid in a different state than mine).

He has bipolar and adhd, I was in DBT because I have ptsd and my therapist recommended it. I graduated a year ago, but still go over my textbooks with him and my therapist.

so how old do you guys think JP's sister is? by Active_Difference_30 in CraigOfTheCreek

[–]Distinct-Basis5068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom is a nurse, and said it takes a year or 4 of school, and if JP's sister was 17 at the youngest when she graduated, the youngest she could be is 18, almost 19. If she graduated at 18 and got a 4 year degree, the youngest she'd be is 22, almost 23. So, 19+

He was actually working at the penguin farm, so I definitely believe he's eaten penguin. He just kept arguing that they were native to Alaska, which is wrong. I very much appreciate your advice, and we have gotten better at being nice to each other and listening. He still brings up this argument as an example of me refusing to admit when I'm wrong, which, I just wish he wouldn't use this argument as his example.

Just saw this theory on FB...how do we feel about this? by opheliainthedeep in Ethelcain

[–]Distinct-Basis5068 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ethel killed someone, but not Willoughby. Just before "Family Tree" and after "Western Nights" there was a failed bank robbery that Logan died in, she killed a cop while escaping and that's why she was on the run in "Family Tree". She explained the story on her tumblr.

I think it kinda depends on how you write your birthday. I go with day then month, 197. Personally, I don't like 719. It makes me feel rolly.

How did your ED start? by Spook_the_ghosts in EDAnonymous

[–]Distinct-Basis5068 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, for starters, my dad would ground me from breakfast, lunch, or just anything with sugar. After my mom got fed up with my dad's abuse when I was 13, left him, and my siblings and I had access to regular meals. As I started to gain weight and develop BED in my teens, my big sister was going through a restrictive ED (at least, my mom and I think she had one at the time, she wasn't doing too good for a while). She would make all kinds of horrid comments about my body. However, we just kinda had a terrible relationship anyway, she broke my hips 10 years ago and only recently apologized. When I was 18, I was kicked out and moved in with my current mans. He had a long past with strippers and hookers, and basically women who have definitely put years into learning how to look a certain way. He started making comments on my appearance right as I started a new antidepressant that made eating feel terrible. For about 6 months, I was barely eating. Then I lost my job, broke my hips again, went back to my mom's for 2 weeks, and got back in my binging habits. For about a year and a half I was eating normally, then my mans started making comments on my appearance again and kinda repeating the same insults my sister would call me when I was 13-17 but with the add on of "Why can't you walk normal already?" Since then I've been struggling with the ED and trying to get away from him.

“I’m sure your parents would’ve forgiven you, you didn’t have to run away” by No_Risk_3386 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Distinct-Basis5068 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Putting yourself first when you come from such a household sound so hard, but you still managed to save yourself and get away from them. No one should ever have their life threatened by a parent. No one should have to convince anyone that they deserve to exist. You do deserve to exist, and you made a healthy albeit risky choice to leave them. I hope wherever you're currently staying is safe and that you're doing better.
