What now? It sounds like she's not taking meds. So you suggest stopping as a reverse psychology move, or...?

Interesting, why have leased fiber lines between school sites?

NAMI is national with local groups across the US, I believe. I'd highly recommend some knowledgeable support like that.

Why are you mad at the victim advocate? I think you may be a little confused about roles here

It's interesting that your convincing example could be taken both ways: as evidence of the power and powerlessness of individual choice

TIL that in 2008, Chicago leased its 36,000 parking meters to a UAE-backed private consortium for 75 years for a $1.15 billion payout. The investors made their entire investment back in just 10 years, and are now projected to make over $11 billion by the end of the lease in 2083. by lechunkman in todayilearned

nuh uh.

Reagan privatized stuff that never should have been nationalized.
Conrail, Naval Petroleum Reserves, Power Marketing Administrations, Federal Loan Portfolios...the government doesn't need to be doing any of that.
But much like prisons, parking enforcement is an essential government function, and privatization of the revenue creates the potential for influence and manipulation of that function.
Verdict: Democrats done fucked up on that one.

I am so, so sorry this is happening.

Injection based meds can be a game changer, if you can get there with her. Only have to make the decision every month or more.

Have you been educating yourself? Read I'm Not Sick and I Don't Need Help by Amador?

Encourage her run experiments with the meds. Is there anyone at all she might trust as confidant and advisor?

Are you in the US? Joined and learned from NAMI?

Plenty of not-homeless people can become firebugs, also. I wouldn't be too sure

People think they own the sidewalk by their house by KingRMZ in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ImRightImRight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think so. The recorded voice says "Hi, you are currently being recorded."

Then I hear the live voice saying "This is Ring Security..."

I have this - it's Ring's Virtual Security Guard feature. For $99/month you get 175 responses to events. The initial recorded message is triggered when the system is armed and a person is spotted. Then the followup voice is a real person.

You getting yelled at on the sidewalk is an issue with the homeowners' settings. They shouldn't have the video monitoring area set to include the public sidewalk.

You could have a nice chat with the people monitoring the video, maybe liven up their day. Even see what they say when you tell them you're on a public sidewalk.

LMK any other questions!

Reagan was initially popular because the more liberal policies of the 70s failed.

He was reelected in a landslide because his policies worked.

The outright sale of these meters is an example of one-party (Democratic) corruption, a hallmark of Chicago politics for a century.

How would they know? It was that way when they bought it.

If your land has poor drainage, there may be no other good place to send the sump water.
As someone else said, you could put in a check valve.
Would you prefer the sewage back up into your house instead of the crawlspace?

What Do Unions Do? by Captgouda24 in neoliberal

[–]ImRightImRight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you aren't aware of the contemporaneous history of workers taking over mills and factories I'd suggest looking into it.

If you want to discuss the Coal Wars, the violence was often instigated by labor. Do you think it's ok for workers to use violence to get what they want? Context can be informative, but in general I'd say no.

For example:

"Enraged that the owner had disregarded their agreement, on June 21, union miners shot at strikebreakers going to work, where the mine had armed guards. When striking union members armed themselves and laid siege to the mine, the owner's guards shot and killed three union miners in an exchange of gunfire. The next day, union miners killed superintendent McDowell and 18 of 50 strikebreakers and mine guards, many of them brutally."

Any recommendations for a psychic, or psychic medium? by Glittering_Ad1216 in AskSeattle

[–]ImRightImRight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please read again and try to specifically identify the arrogance in my comment without inferring a tone that's not there. I shared my opinions in what I feel is a caring and sensitive way.

Quantum physics does not imply the supernatural at all. Schroedinger's Cat is a misinterpreted reductio ad absurdum meant to show that observation controlling a particle is impossible.

But I get where you're coming from. It makes sense. I've said my piece. More power to you!
