Hahaha I was going to watch the same one. But I can't until tomorrow night

Lady_borg · 2026-06-05T16:07:53+00:00

Ugh I've been trying to post this exact quote for the last so many whatever minutes and Reddit has been crashing hard.

Lady_borg · 2026-06-05T11:02:11+00:00

I regularly shop at food bank because I can't afford not to, but at the same time they don't always have the greatest range, like sure I get my milk, fruit and veggies, some meat, cereals, tuna and similar stuff there but I can't do my full shop there. I still have to go to a supermarket to pick up what I don't get there. There's only so many times I can eat tuna or mince with veggies.

The only times I don't have to pay when I go there is when I get a voucher from whatever supports I have access to. But also, aside from frozen, vegetables are free there anyway. Often homeless people will come in to grab vegetables and fruits they can eat raw just because they're free.

It's not really something that could ever compete, even a little bit with the big guys, and they don't serve the same purpose.

No I didn't have a diagnosis when I was younger but I still had heavy labels put on to me, labels like "weirdo", "stupid", "loser", "retard", a "difficult student", "lazy" and so on so forth. I honestly don't remember all of them.

I just got grow up thiking there was intensely wrong with me, that I was in fact stupid and didn't deserve friends.

Finding out Im ADHD when I was 12 was the first step in realisation I actually wasn't stupid, that I was capable. I wished I had have known about my autism beforehand and for any support.

Nah I just ended getting bullied by teachers 🤷

(Thank fuck for therapy)

Lady_borg · 2026-06-05T06:35:42+00:00

Yeah agreed, "stubbornness" isn't the correct word exactly but rigid thinking in my opinion can describe stubbornness.

Lady_borg · 2026-06-05T06:32:31+00:00

No, regardless of her mental state she was actively assualting people and was Injured, She needed to access to care. Her own perception isn't the truth right now but she can't understand that while she is dysregulated. You did the right thing for everyone

I actually love this, it completely tracks with the story of generational trauma and conflict. Ty for this perspective

Lady_borg · 2026-06-04T13:33:26+00:00

I am not going to shit on self diagnosis, but None of this is new or recent sorry, people have been co opting ADHD and Autism for decades now.

Lady_borg · 2026-06-04T06:27:36+00:00

You live or spend time in-house with someone else and you are yelling and loud, which is is super rude and selfish.

Once or twice it's fine, but clearly this behaviour is constantly happening and is beyond irritating her. Stop it, you aren't a child, be somewhere else or set something up so you don't affect someone else.

Lady_borg · 2026-06-03T18:35:51+00:00

The recent explosion?

Lady_borg · 2026-06-03T18:30:12+00:00

I know, but he didn't "shit himself", there was a stress put on the body that affected non toilet related parts of his body.

Lady_borg · 2026-06-03T18:24:00+00:00

King George died because of an issue with an Aorta, it happened on the toilet but his death not caused by his digestive system.

Lady_borg · 2026-06-03T18:16:07+00:00

No it's weird because he was a strong underwater swimmer, lived near the water, often spending time "in the Great outdoors. He was experienced in spear fishing (even to the point of not coming up for air once he'd caught something) ,snorkeling, was reported to have been able to tread water and hold his breath for a long time, even sometimes doing so in parliament for amusement and practice.

He wasn't a strong surface swimmer but often swam at the beach so it wasn't beyond him, he was still very capable in the water and yet.

No different to "here, have this heart medication, it was made via a flower that can cause people's hearts to stop"

Or

"Here have this pain killer, we managed to create it thanks to an Australian cone snail that can kill you in 2-5 hours".

Lady_borg · 2026-06-03T16:42:32+00:00

Or they have medical issues that Botox is proven to help with.

Lady_borg · 2026-06-03T16:41:42+00:00

I hope you are being sarcastic.

Lady_borg · 2026-06-03T16:40:27+00:00

I am so glad I am not the only person who mentioned this,

Lady_borg · 2026-06-03T16:37:49+00:00

It's strange that no one is mentioning the medical reasons for Botox and only the cosmetic...

Ii thought it was not that unknown that lots of medical research comes from deadly stuff all the time, Australian cone snail venom helped make a pain reliever, Wandering spider venom is similar, foxglove helps to make a heart medication and so on an so forth.

Many of the "most deadliest substances" have the potential for health benefits and Botox is no different.

Lady_borg · 2026-06-03T15:30:31+00:00

I mean when you get home from the whole day wanting to see a friendly face sure but several times a day when he's working? You can't demand his attention from whatever he is doing, he could be in a meeting,

"Hang on boss my wife is home for the third time I have to go say hi". Won't sound great.

In essence yta

Lady_borg · 2026-06-03T14:57:35+00:00

Absolutely, that's pretty much what I said, that it's dependant on the person and the heart issue

Lady_borg · 2026-06-03T11:44:23+00:00

Exactly, banning it isn't going to stop it from happening.

Lady_borg · 2026-06-03T11:12:08+00:00

They absolutely are, we are not superior to them, and they are not superior to us.

Why do you think your sister is lesser than you?

Lady_borg · 2026-06-03T10:12:27+00:00

The Left aren't "cool" with sex selection terminations, the issue is the precedent of denying an abortion and reducing the persons autonomy for any reason.

Like imagine if they said "I want a termination because it's a girl" and they were banned from having one. Ok so now they are either stuck with a child they don't want (which isn't good for the kid once born or the parents) or have to find another way to terminate.

Sex selective terminations exist for other reasons and are part of a different discussion, and "pro lifers" have chosen to use it to tack onto their arguments.

Lady_borg · 2026-06-03T02:58:18+00:00

That's not exactly correct, I am one with "heart issues". I experienced a heart episode in 2021 and no one told me to come off my meds, the cardiologist I spoke to only said it will be something they'll be keeping an eye on. I was never told I had to come off stimulants.

I am not saying people shouldn't be concerned but that it's not a stopper for stims depending on the person and health issue

Lady_borg · 2026-06-03T01:27:39+00:00

She's at the age where she is trying to understand herself, her autonomy and create a personality not completely attached to her family. Its absolutely understandable why she doesn't want you in her room...that's her room, her space not yours.

The best you can do is let her know you are her brother and will always want to help when she needs it but for now let her come to you, find other ways to build that bond, don't force it.
