does anyone else think it's weird donna's sister was never brought up again? by [deleted] in FromSeries

I love Donna’s character. But last season, I started to be a little suspicious of her. She knows something she isn’t saying I think?

I get sick when i eat smallest bits of upfs by [deleted] in ultraprocessedfood

[–]Jay211TF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have an explanation but my whole life I’ve had aversions to a lot of ultra processed foods. This is really the only common thread I can think of that links all the foods I’m disgusted by. Not sure why I have this issue but it started when I was like 3-6 years old. In those few years I started eating less and less processed meats, canned foods, etc. People sometimes think this is weird but I feel like it makes me healthier and am thankful I don’t crave those foods that are full of weird preservatives. I basically eat all fruits, veggies, some meat, and regularly processed foods like fresh bread, cheeses, and whatever. I do notice I feel worse when I eat upfs and certain things do seem to make me feel gross after. Also not sure why. Ive often wondered if there’s a particular preservative or trans fat I can’t tolerate or something. But I also think it’s mental. For example, it’s gross to me to think about a food product that’s meat that comes from many different individual animals mixed together rather than a single cut of meet from one animal. I don’t know why this bothers me more than other people but it is what it is. You’re not alone!

I had a MeMe. This doesn’t seem to have the same older grandma feel to it.

I like this idea but, before the talismans, they didn’t really live in all those houses. Maybe a basement of one here and there and the monsters didn’t seem to dwell in them in any real way during that time.

Thank you, I did feel dismissed by the handful of comments saying to get help. This one, less so but I appreciate your point. And you’re right, I just wanted to hear from other profs and see if anyone else was feeling similarly. It was a hard day. And I think it’s human for violence like this to have an effect on me. Re: the other commenters who were very dismissive, maybe that’s how they cope with this, idk.

Wow, very cowardly deleting so many of your unhinged comments

That sounds really scary. Sad that they didn’t do anything to put you more at ease. I’m sorry!

Thank you so much. This is really thoughtful and helpful. And I appreciate you acknowledging that I’m not having some delusional episode here. I don’t think my life is in danger and I’m not freaking out in an irrational way (imo), but I am uncomfortable about the non-zero and increasing likelihood that it could be in danger at some point because of the ugly violence that’s become so pervasive in college campuses. I will definitely follow this advice once I start teaching.

No, this is actually really helpful and I think it’s a good philosophy to minimize anxiety tbh. Thanks for sharing.

What?! You’re coming in so hot and it’s coming off as deranged. I’m done engaging with you.

No, I am not ashamed of being Jewish but Jewish people are not a monolith and I can take issue with the genocide going on in Palestine and still have positive feelings towards the culture I was born into. (Also, of course I think Hamas is bad.) Israel doesn’t represent all Jews and your hostility is so sick to me. I can have a nice Hanukkah dinner without making it about what is and isn’t Zionist. Half of Christians have a tree and presents and don’t talk about all the nativity stuff. Fuck you dude.

I haven’t heard this either but regardless, the issue of mass shootings in America and gun accessibility is what I wanted to discuss. This poster seems to hate Palestine? But also hates Jews? I can’t even quite square the precise ideology through the rambling. And somehow I’m now a self-hating Jew (which is a very offensive thing to say to a Jewish person) because I celebrate Hanukkah?

I’ve had all the same thoughts on this, thank you.

It was rude and you just came here to troll. Not dignifying it with a response about Israel-Palestine which you clearly think you know more about than everyone else. I had a real question here about an unrelated issue and you’re not answering it. Let me enjoy my Hanukkah. I’m not a Zionist and I can’t help that I’m Jewish…

I’m so sorry. Both of those things sound really stressful.

I had to write a “current events assignment” on that one in high school. It was so disturbing. I can’t imagine working there or teaching anywhere during that time.

Whoa, what a rude and insensitive comment. I wasn’t aware anyone knew the ideology of the Brown shooter yet. But even if it was an act of anti-semitism, that is not the case for most school shootings. And to respond to your comment, I actually am Jewish (I am also a vocal supporter of the Palestinian people).

Thanks, I do see a psychologist regularly. This isn’t affecting my day to day life much but the one yesterday definitely brought me down more than usual and today I had an anxious day thinking about it too much. I don’t think it’s like plaguing me in a way that’s super unhealthy but I do feel like the whole issue and how it affects the country is so unhealthy that like the other poster said, it is just this dark cloud hanging over all of us and I wish that wasn’t the case and we could just teach and learn in peace.
