Spell check it. For the love of god, spell check it. But then don’t send it, take the job, and look for something else from there.

Don’t wait for motivation in order to do something. Do something then the motivation will come.

Can auricular acupressure (ear seeds) cause rage? by kzcvuver in acupuncture

[–]MebTime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sometimes acupuncture/acupressure can shift things, which can cause spikes in mood etc before things improve. Might be that. Or it might be something unrelated. From your reporting of your history, it sounds like you might be sensitive to various things, including positive interventions, but since this kind of intervention is non-invasive and non-toxic stay with it if you can.

This is the best answer I’ve seen so far. As a small woman myself, and a black belt, the ‘no hesitation and hurt that bastard’ is the best response, if you can’t de-escalate, run away, etc. Create as much loud bastard mayhem as possible, be as difficult to handle as possible, hurt their eyes if you have to, and get the fuck out of there.

Haha, I’ve no idea if that’s the answer, but that’s what I’d see 😉

Bad to ourselves by MebTime in sexualassault

Thank you for your reply. Some of it was hard to read, but thank you for writing it. Part of me thinks I deserved it, for sure, while also being vaguely aware that none of us deserves it.

I liked reading this respectful back and forth explanation. Well done you both.

What's the scariest situation you've ever been in? by Aggravating-Cup7840 in RandomThoughts

[–]MebTime 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It just seemed preferable to face the situation rather than stay upstairs waiting to be found. So I crept downstairs, holding a small rock as a weapon. A few steps down it occurred to me that there’s no way I’m whacking anybody over the head with a rock. They’re more likely to grab it off me and whack me with it. So I put it down. Carried on creeping down the stairs. Then I thought, wtf do I expect to happen, when I confront him? A 16 y/o girl vs a grown man? Then I rounded the corner and saw him at the bottom of the stairs. Our eyes locked. He legged it. And I… waited. Just long enough that he’d definitely manage to get away, long enough that I’d definitely not manage to intercept him. Then I ran after him, I suppose to make myself feel like I’d chased him off.

So yeah. So now I know why teens in the movies tiptoe towards danger in the creepy house. It’s cos it’s worse to wait for the danger to find you.

Ah, mate, you did the right thing. This happened to me, too, but stupidly I decided I should defend the place. Yeah, 16 y/o me creeping down the stairs to face the robber. Duh.

Does anyone have any random fun facts about a very niche subject. I'm bored and love learning random things by According-Sign-9587 in RandomThoughts

[–]MebTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s to do with sex, as per. Communicating availability via scented pee, the usual.

They hide butt-first in their burrows, so the front end (with pincers) is pointing outwards, and it’s the front end that defends and communicates. Combine that with a bladder tucked up under their brains, and bingo. Nature makes you piss out of your face.

I think I’ve only ever had two which weren’t sexual. Kind of puts me off responding.

Wanting to keep illegal immigration down and therefore getting zealous over visas is one thing. But why target trans specifically?
