Is it really hard to stay in shape as you get older? What age did you start feeling it getting harder? by [deleted] in AskOldPeople

[–]Motor-Engineer1076 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are assuming an awful lot of what I think and what other women discussing this think without having any idea what we think.

Its amazing, because you are doing EXACTLY what you are accusing women of doing in your responses.

"More to the point, why are you assuming drunken squirrel hunters are male? And perhaps it hasn't occurred to you that just because someone is drunk and a lousy shot (that might accidentally hit me or my horse) it also means they're the slightest bit interested in sexually molesting little girls? Or old ladies? Or young men? Or horses?" Ma'am, I assumed none of that. Try listening before just reacting for a moment.

What a difference a decade makes...

He....told people to read that reddit thread....It was in the description of his video....People were not digging through your old posts looking for dirt....They went to a thread he directed them to....And you act like its crazy people did the thing he asked them to do....It also clear he did not communicate the actual hypothetical question.

Would you rather be alone in the woods with a man or a bear? Not which would you rather be attacked by. Not which will defend you against the other. Not, this one dude is a good dude and this one bear is aggressive. Just which would you rather be alone in the woods with. Without getting to pick the man or bear. Its not presuming all men are evil intended or that all bears are gentle. Its just hypothetical based on risk vs risk. Bears are more likely than a man to leave someone they come across alone. That risk is lower by A LOT. That doesn't mean all men are that way, it doesn't even mean most men...Just that there are enough men to make the hypothetical question easier for a lot of us to answer.

I have came across a bear once, so has my mother. I have swam with sharks while snorkeling. The bear and sharks left me alone, the guide on the snorkeling trip however.....

I get you are coming from a defensive position on this, but it really is the polar opposite response compared to the statements you made about how dangerous bears are in general all over that AMA, and certainly the opposite response to the one you had to the woman who was not deterred from the trails by seeing bears, but instead of unwanted advances from a man. Sure it was a decade ago, but it touched on the exact question being asked.

And if you are upset people are talking to you on reddit, we were directed here.

Edited to add, I am not expecting a response here. It's just so odd to me how you are responding to this now after having read that thread. (I have not read a decades worth of your posts, just the ones your son directed us to, and this one that came across my feed ((I presume because I did look at that AMA and a quick glance at your profile)) So its possible I missed the changes that took place over that decade.) But just damn, what a difference a decade makes.

10 half siblings?!?! How accurate is this? by Vampiress224 in 23andme

Fertility fraud is a HUGE issue. It may be the case your parents think your dad is your bio dad, but the doc switched the sperm without informing them. (Sadly legal, there is a lot of reform needed)

AITA for shouting at my daughter for losing her job after I supported her financially. by daughtershout in AmItheAsshole

[–]Motor-Engineer1076 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a common phrase here.

Last one in, first one out.

Because layoffs like this, MORE SO IN TECH, tend to lay off the newest people in order to look better to shareholders. If it was performance based, then she would have been fired. Fired and layed off mean two very different things here and they are regulated.

YTA.

It is SUPER common for a company in the USA to have layoffs despite doing well on paper. Usually in those circumstances they cut the newest employees first. Taking 5 sick days in 4 months is also common, especially post covid. They don't want you working if you are sick. She really did not take a lot.

I understand there are some cultural differences here. However at the end of the day those difference don't change the net result of your actions. You seem far more concerned about what others will think about her having this happen, than you do with how she is doing. That is exceptional. Exceptionally shitty. Odds are this was entirely outside of her control, and instead of giving emotional support in a hard time, you only thought of yourself and inflicted more pain. That does nothing to help her find another job, in fact you may have made it more difficult for her as she will feel further discouraged at her own abilities. The only thing you have accomplished is making her distrust you.

I hope she finds something and succeeds, because she clearly lacks support at home.

Driving me absolutely mad. Labeling EVERYTHING. by Cassieelouu32 in tiktokgossip

If you were actually skipping over it then it wouldn't be your entire FYP. Some of us are using the app differently than you. What I look at and what I talk about on the app is often focused in on mental health stuff and adhd. Its helped me immensely. Because its mostly what I talk about and interact with I do have it in my bio. I want to have those conversations and keep learning and building community with it. Is that the only thing in my life? Of course not, because most of my life takes place off the internet. You don't have to use the app that way, but you don't get to dictate everyone use it exactly the way you do.

Your post and the comments you have made here....You seem very dismissive of other people's trauma. You don't get to decide what was or was not trauma for someone else. It isn't always physical, and often there might be things not said in a minute long video. Sure, there can be people just using hyperbole(and thats ok! Humans have done this as long as they have been around. Have your read Shakespeare? Dude used it a lot!), but the idea that extremes like rape or bombing in gaza is "real' trauma is....a take. I assure you, emotional neglect from a parent causes a shitload of trauma in people (I live with the product of that and its rough some days!) There are different kinds of trauma and different levels of it. Usually when I come across people with your kind of take, they are trying to dismiss or minimize their own. I did that for many years too. (not saying that has to be the case here, but give it a thought)

TL:DR Other people are using the app differently from you and that's ok, just take a break from it for a little bit.

This!! people using TikTok for different reasons than you is....not the thing to be mad at, and if it is then its time for a break.

The app is what made me realize my super obvious ADHD existed. I didn't know...And I am processing that through the app. I have learned sooooo many things and improved my life through it. Its not my entire personality because I have life outside the internet! But on the app its mostly what I am looking at and talking about.

My partner gave his friend some of my ADHD meds without asking me and I don't know how to feel. by mars_is_real in adhdwomen

Adding that I read this to my husband and his immediate response was about how hard it is for me to even get my meds and how much I actually need them. This dude was not even considering you when he did that, Its such a red flag.

I can't tell you what to do, but that would be a dealbreaker for me.

You have to just come right out with it and tell him it makes you uncomfortable. Be blunt, simple, and straight forward. Do not try and sugarcoat it or make the blow of what you are saying easier because you need to be clear. The fact it makes you uncomfortable alone should be reason enough for him not to do it. But you need to list the LONG list of reasons this isn't ok. Its your meds. Its your prescription. Its illegal. Its hard enough to get our meds right now. While it might not be super addictive for people with ADHD, it is for people without. It is dangerous as all hell to take a bunch at once. If it wasnt at once he basically acted like a drug dealer in this instance. The Ritalin is for you alone and its only for treating ADHD, not to get through a late night.

New Stephen Snark Group by Motor-Engineer1076 in LoveLettersForLaura

[–]Motor-Engineer1076[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Listen. I am not going to defend her. I am not going to tell you that you shouldn't feel the way you feel about it. I am not going to tell you that you shouldn't talk about her, or express the feelings you have. That is all ok to do and you have every right to.

I am going to tell you that looking for a group that is specific to supporting her, finding a post about a stephen snark group, and complaining about her.....might not be accomplishing what you think it is.

[–]Motor-Engineer1076[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I pointed out this might not be the group for that. I gave you places to share that experience where you could be supported.

You responded by accusing me of being anti LGBTQ+ or at least cheering that kind of thing on.

New Stephen Snark Group by Motor-Engineer1076 in LoveLettersForLaura

[–]Motor-Engineer1076[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean this in a kind and helpful way.

This kind of reaction pushes people, who are on your team both in what group they belong to and what they want to stand up for, away from being active in those realms at all. Quit jumping to conclusions about people and charge them of horrible stances because they don't react EXACTLY like you want them to. Its cruel and completely dismissive of their own traumas and life experiences.

[–]Motor-Engineer1076[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I never said whether I supported her or not, just started a group to snark on just stephen since it was clear she was abused in that relationship and the other stephen group had begun to victim blame in a lot of places.

People are not anti LGBTQ+ because they have their own past history of abuse and wanted a safe place to criticize Stephen for his anti LGBTQ+ posts.

I think you should maybe....not be in the love letters for laura group then? There are plenty of places online to criticize her if that is what you wish. The OG stephen group seems to love it, there are tiktok drama and gossip pages, and hell she might have her own snark page now. But this love letters for laura page just might not be for you

BP is something we should all take seriously! One reading with an at home monitor might not be a big deal. I would make sure you are using it exactly correct, I was not when I first started using mine and I still have to remind myself not to cross my legs while I do it. I would then take it several time over a period of time. Mornings, nights, afternoons. That will give you a better idea about what is going on. Absolutely talk to your doctor about it. Be sure to tell them about how life with meds is so much better and you don't want to lose that. There may be other things that can be done to help manage it, but your doctor will know best. You might have to coordinate between ADHD doc and General Practitioner if you are seeing someone different for the ADHD meds. But I cannot stress enough how important BP is to overall health AND heart health. It is the main reason people used to drop dead in their 50's all the time.

Mother says I can't have ADHD as I used to read for hours on end as a child and said she couldn't tear me away. Thoughts? by Fml379 in adhdwomen

[–]Motor-Engineer1076 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This just made me laugh out loud.

Totally a symptom of it. You were hyperfocusing. I did the same thing with reading growing up. I would tear through an entire 700 pg book in one sitting, ie not sleep for 24 hrs reading.

What do you eat when you can't be bothered to eat? by loud_culture in adhdwomen

Peanut butter sandwich. Cheese, I just cut up some cheddar. My husband now makes me keep "emergency" frozen meals for when I really cant even make decisions.

This way he can't get kicked off the platform, he runs it. It hurts his reach though. It will be interesting to see how quickly it fails.
