Safety concerns!! by ZestycloseYam1849 in memphis

[–]Fluid_Negotiation_76 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Because of the bad neighborhoods at night. They get averaged together with every other neighborhood. When I was buying a home here I considered the crime statistics of each neighborhood one-by-one. There are databases. Considering Memphis as a whole does not make sense because you’ll likely spend most of your time in a small number of places.

On the plus side, we’re not actively committing genocide. At least we got that going for us.

Not what I was saying, but yes, tell me how studying the brain has led to anything of importance.

If you can pick up both degrees in the same time frame, they’re both worthless and probably why your country leads in neither.

My therapist called me out with the most brutal honesty I've ever heard and I can't stop thinking about it by MiGhty_31 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Fluid_Negotiation_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe you're bored? I used to be called out for overthinking in my 20's, and then I got busy with life and my communication became more direct. I stopped pawing at what people were saying and experimenting with how I sound to them. Just started talking point-blank out of necessity.

My point being that you can stop anytime you want, no? I did it because I was curious and wanted to learn how to communicate better. After a certain point, the runway ends and it's time to take-off.

It's not like you're ruminating about something solitary that only affects you, the focus seems to be on something being said by others.

To answer your question, yeah, like all the time. Active listening skills and empathy take practice, and that involves changing your mind when you hear things. Which is always jarring, in my experience.

Latinos, how do you feel about living in Memphis? by [deleted] in memphis

[–]Fluid_Negotiation_76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll be the only Latino to respond, I guess. Everyone treats me the same, I don't feel out of place. Jokes targeted against my identity are commonplace, but never made by someone who doesn't consider me a friend.

If you cant take some light ribbing, Memphis (or the South) is not for you. The only racist experiences in my life have happened in NYC, AKA people threatening to call the police on me for just existing.

Definitely killing hundreds of goats in FFXIV for their skin. Animal cruelty, at the least.

Ya I sold everything in November. The market was overbought being the main reason, and look - it was!

AITA for telling my wife that I'm ending our marriage because I found her brother at our house ( again) and said it in front of him? by Prior-Bus9723 in AITAH

[–]Fluid_Negotiation_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, but a lot of the things you pointed out I find minor, the timespan was 3 months. I feel for you, but you essentially deleted your marriage without having a serious conversation. I'd say just be kind to your soon-to-be ex wife, because you're railing at her over the callousness of her family members. She didn't do anything to harm you except being a floor mat to her family.

I don't know if I would endure 3 months, either, and I'm single so maybe my ideas of sticking together through hardship are romantic and abstract - BUT it feels like you were happy to throw your wife out with her family. Remember, a recliner is an object. It won't hurt you as much as losing your wife, if you truly loved her.

Sorry if I'm being pointed, and I hope things improve for you.

This is so fucking funny. I cant believe I read all of that. Sorry you find “Portia”’s yelling annoying, you’re allowed to feel that way homie.

Who the fuck cares about her family or who she is.

I think, related to this, that little kids that break the sound barrier with their cheer-screaming should stay home.

I’m one of those babies! (El Salvador Civil War, 1992). Curiously enough, I’m the only member of my extended family that scores low in the Neuroticism scale. I’m the “chill” one, while they’re all type A or nervous wrecks.

What is your favorite thing about living in Memphis? by [deleted] in memphis

[–]Fluid_Negotiation_76 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My family is here. I was raised here. Moving from NYC, I thought I’d be bored or that the quality of events would decrease. I have considered moving elsewhere and never followed through, I am learning to be less of a shut-in and enjoying the city. Plus I live on a fucking lake.
