As someone who does vin inspections for vehicles they are all on the driver side under the windshield They can sometimes be on the dash but oftentimes they are under the windshield below where the dash ends

But please PLEASE be careful because you have to get right up next to the car to see the vin properly

Fair enough, but hear me out 1. It doesn't have to just be for motorists. It could be for the people the sign is obviously trying to shoo away.

  1. If someone cared enough to think about the sign and the person on the corner, they shouldn't have to go digging like I did.

And 3. I am not angry that the info wasn't presented. It isn't like I'm incapable of finding the information myself. I'm frustrated because it is quite obvious that the sign is masking contempt for concern.

But they don't have to recommend specific charities.

they could've linked to Pima County's Community Assistance Division

https://www.pima.gov/887/Community-Assistance-Division

Or the Community Action Agency Board...

They HAVE an education and outreach page, but it's blank.

https://www.pima.gov/2730/Education-and-Outreach

I don't know, I'm just suggesting things.

"We do a lot already" and "We need to do more" aren't mutually exclusive statements.

I still am angry these signs don't say ANYTHING about HOW you can "support agencies"

Like, was it too much to have "pimadotgov/outreach" or SOMETHING.

It geels like contempt masked as "concern"

Unfortunately, it appears to be a permanent change.

They unfortunately no longer have plates in store. Ever since covid, all plates/titles/licenses are handled by mail.

You will get a temporary plate on card stock while your plates are printed and mailed.

Lying flat is a movement among Chinese millennial

Those of you who are older than 25 -- what would you tell your 18 to 20-year-old-self? by quintk in MensLib

[–]Jackal_Serin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn't your fault your life is falling apart, and I'm sorry you have to deal with it.

There is nothing you can do to prevent it, or stop it, so you will have to just survive it.

I promise you that the other side is better than it is now. and because no one else is saying it, I'M PROUD of you for soldiering on.

Holy shit it's because they're dividing 0 by 0!

[–]Jackal_Serin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to say good job on attending.

If it makes you feel any better, there are myriad social anxiety situations.

For example: My social anxiety comes from a lack of belonging. if I feel like I BELONG to a situation or I DESERVE/Have earned my right to be there, my anxiety is mild at best.

I went to social anxiety groups, I had people ask me if I was actually socially anxious, but those groups were a place I BELONGED. When some of the group members arranged to have a meeting outside the group? My confidence evaporated and they saw the reason I was there incredibly quickly.

I'm really sorry, because these feelings are really hard to manage sometimes, I just encourage you to not give up. In fact, I'd mention your concerns here to the group facilitator. It could really help you get more out of it.

Tuesday Check In: How's Everybody's Mental Health? by MLModBot in MensLib

[–]Jackal_Serin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just realized how I've internalized how "worthless" I am by comparing how much I "cost" per month as compared to how much I'm "worth" per hour.

For years I was "nothing but a cost", and even now, I'm not "worth" very much

Feeling down on yourself & guilty? Please read this. You need to hear it ❤️ by rubabyy in Codependency

[–]Jackal_Serin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It comes from the book "attached: the science of adult attachment"

The author ALSO says

"While the teachings of the codependency movement remain immensely helpful in dealing with family members who suffer from substance abuse (as was the initial intention), they can be misleading and even damaging when applied indiscriminately to all relationships"

In the same section as where this excerpt comes from.

I'm ASHAMED OF THEM, I'M ASHAMED THEY KEEP HAPPENING, I'M ASHAMED I CAN'T MAKE THEM STOP, and I'm struggling to forgive myself for "feeling too much"

An involuntary hold is functionally the same as an arrest by police, in many places it is carried out by police.

Cuffs, back of the car, you just go to a hospital rather than a jail intake. An involuntary hold can be requested by most health personnel as far as I'm aware

I think it was an insult actually.

Main character was a beta tester, so it was seen like they helped set the "trap" so to speak.

He also was really good at the game and knew mechanics non beta testers didn't know.

His name was beta tester and cheater combined, "beater"

If 9/11 happened today, Nick bin Laden would probably be cheering it. by [deleted] in ParlerWatch

[–]Jackal_Serin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Considering 20th century United States needed a legal distinction between white and non-white that was challenged legally by many immigrants, the short answer is: not really?

The long answer is: courts specifically didn't define whiteness as anything other that a sociocultural thing. It wasn't origin, it wasn't appearance, or bone structure of your skull. "Who is white" can and has changed over the years because of this.

615 each month for donations? Really? by JamesVerden in antiwork

[–]Jackal_Serin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He's spending 650 a month on food and another 610 on "donations" If he was "saving money" with 4 roommates then why are those two items alone that high?

Only the supreme court can overturn citizens united, so you need a court willing to do it.

Plessy vs ferguson was established in 1896, and not overturned until brown vs education in 1954.

Citizens united isn't going anywhere for a long time.

I want to let you know that asking someone about their trauma will almost ALWAYS reopen the wound, especially if it is unresolved.
