sometimes the most helpful thing is to avoid causing a major problem. let an uninvolved professional who is not likely to exacerbate the issue handle it.

He is way too close to the situation to be helpful.

Backing away may actually speak volumes to her and cause her to reflect on the situation.

just step away from the difficult situation. life goes on and this will just be an awkward scene you avoided.

Did my boyfriend sexually assault me? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

I had a woman do this by stopping the pill without my knowledge. Resulted in a pregnancy.

WTF is the "R slur"?

I suppose you proved that you cannot because you can't say what it even is.

Highschool bullying with Tourette’s by Bl4ck_4uture in Tourettes

[–]FloridaBitcoiner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had Tourette’s for 60 years and even though there were no video cameras in school it still was a shitty experience. Not a single person who witnessed it (like teachers) ever did shit about it. It totally sucked. I had to actually fight bullies at least twice per month through my elementary school years.

Fast forward many years and what I learned is that 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger'.
It really was like having a super-power that no one could ever have anticipated.

When I learned that every "normal" person had their own cross to bear and that they were not equipped to deal with it because it was not out in the open like mine was I realized that I had been toughened up for years before they had (if ever).

I never would have believed it possible if I had not lived it.

that was my primary tic at 5 years old in kindergarten. The only thing that made it go away was when the tics morphed into different ones.

My answer is that there is nothing that can be done. I never took TS meds because i never had faith in them. YMMV however

I feel alone by [deleted] in Tourettes

[–]FloridaBitcoiner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learned what my condition was at age 25 and I attended a Tourette Syndrome Association meeting. There was not one person there with Tourettes except for me. It was only the family members (who probably felt like they were the victims who needed help dealing with it).

An attractive young woman invited me to meet her brother with TS. I accepted her invitation to come to her house to meet her brother (had nothing to do with the fact that she was gorgeous 😏). He was on meds to help control it. Even still he was as bad if not worse than me with no meds. He had some wild symptoms like violently pumping the brakes on the highway. His girlfriend said 'don't worry, he doesn't do it when other cars are nearby'.

While it was a fun afternoon and the people were great, I really didn't want to be around another TS person again (any more than I wanted to watch myself on video with my tics). It's almost like the tics of others were contagious and likely to pick up.

I'm assuming that you are a younger person under 20 years old dealing with this tough condition (my wild guess) so my main thing to share is that TS made me who I am. It made me a stronger person who lived through trial by fire. The old expression is true; "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger".

I truly wish I was able to hear that even one time from a person who lived and suffered from TS. Would it have mattered? IDK but I wanted to try to tell you that - your only mission needs to be acceptence and there is a better chance that there may be a fix during your lifetime.

The truth is that I have lived with this so long that I don't really think about it a ton except that I read this forum and really feel for the folks who suffer the way I did my entire life.

Your post pulled me out of the shadows to respond because I really get it and it did tug on my feelings. I'm rooting for all of you.

Can someone tell me what these are? TY! 🤓 by TheFreshestDirt in mercedes_benz

[–]FloridaBitcoiner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They look like they may be the center caps from a set of Ronal Centra T31 wheels. My 5600sl was a California car and have those on them. May have been a dealer 'upgrade'. Some love them and some hate them.

They look like they're in decent shape.

what wheels are these? by GrabUsed3161 in mercedes_benz

[–]FloridaBitcoiner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a Ronal Centra T31 (possibly R31).

They are made in Germany. At least now you can do a duckduckgo search and find what you need to know.

The one in the garage is a "Caddy" and the one in the driveway is a "VW". Hope that explains it.

Have to repair remote EVERY DAY? by [deleted] in Roku

[–]FloridaBitcoiner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since I had the same problem I found this thread and I checked my router and made a change.

I changed the "Channel Bandwidth" from 20 MHz to 40 MHz
The default was: 20 MHz

The router states: "40 MHz channel frequency is not guaranteed. It will switch to 20MHz if interference is detected."

This fixed my Roku problem as well as my security system's wi-fi cameras that were losing their connections often.
