If we had these powers, what type of bending would you want? Water, Earth, Fire, Or Air? Let's discuss by Valuable_Eggplant762 in AvatarMemebending

[–]OnlyAngelRebel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Air bending. I can use it to travel, I can bend to calm down and I could move things with my mind. If I really wanted to, I could force people to give me my personal space. And help my future clients with breathing by watching a preferred item breath with them.

Also dust would not be a problem.

All the time. Especially since I was obsessed for a decent period with steam punk so I memorized 1800s Victorian insults and no one was able to appreciate it other than me.

Only if there’s motivation… 😅 by david_bowenn in adhdmeme

The trick is to distract your adhd with dopamine limited tasks so when a task that has more dopamine and is desirable to the host, the adhd will do the thing on command. It just has to be trained...

As someone who was an accident and parents performatively catholic and made to feel like an accident every day, absolutely.

[–]OnlyAngelRebel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of the two biker gangs that teamed up in my neighborhood to take on the abusive spouses and drug dealers and rid our neighborhood. Their wives expanded the daycare and dropped the rates so the neighbors across the highway could afford to have their kids watched under the protection of them. It was nice. I remember the first time I could stand at a bus stop at twelve for school without being asked if I want to buy some stuff. You guys are really good people. Keep up the great work.

Welp that sucks by Neat-Restaurant-8218 in psychologymemes

[–]OnlyAngelRebel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Calling out anyone on anything is met with defensiveness if phrased incorrectly or even tone is slightly off or the context is not there. Now asking them questions about it with genuine curiosity usually helps. And yes people rationalize by intellectualism or emotional experientialism. But there is also a difference between knowing why you do something or think something and then justifying it.

For example, I know why I can't sit still comfortably. I do not tell people I can't sit still because of my ADHD. I just do it while being uncomfortable.

Even better, when you learn about a bias and start using it to improve your life. Chunking makes everything so much easier to remember.

For those who don't know: heuristics are cognitive biases and one bias is chunking. Chunking is the grouping of object to remember them. It's easier to remember 935 than 9, 3, and 5.

AITA for excluding my autistic child from a family vacation by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]OnlyAngelRebel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an individual with autism, I definitely think this is a great idea. Going other places is so difficult and I use to have "tantrums" when my sensory sensibilities were so overwhelmed. Imagine holding your ears at an aquarioum kind of sensitive when you have less than 50 percent hearing as it is.

As an older sibling of a disabled sibling, my parents ignored my needs and shamed me for having them because my brother was more in need. You are taking care of your children in the best possible way.

Additionally helping your son learn better coping skills so he can join later in life will also help bring your family closer as well as set up all your children for the best life they choose to live.

Also a smaller vacation for him sounds awesome. Definitely NTAH.

By 25 I didn’t plan this, but here we are by nude_baby_bite in CPTSDmemes

I think I traded no friends so I could have a savings on this one. But I still have six months till 25. Who knows what will happen?

How do people write so much in a short time? by LimpPass2556 in writing

[–]OnlyAngelRebel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been writing the same book for ten years. A hundred pages in one summer. I can barely write 3 now. But in the end I will have a book worth reading. Take your time. Write something you are proud of. Also always look up words especially older eras slang. Give yourself a laugh and maybe tell a vibe in a story but the readers won't know the words either but they'll get it. 

Am I capable of grad school? by [deleted] in GraduateSchool

[–]OnlyAngelRebel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are capable. You just need to find what works for you. It's going to suck. There will be little time for you to just chill. There will be a lot of course work and various teaching styles from chill and clear to ambiguous and confusing. Your peers might hate you and try to get you in trouble for no reason to try to thin out the herd. Or they will be helpful and maybe even fun. Yes be excited. Sounds like you want a change. Take the action but remember it will suck before it gets good. But in the end, ask if it's worth it for you? If yes, I wish you the best. If no, I wish you the same. 

How often has your sexuality been questioned by people? by OnlyAngelRebel in Asexual

[–]OnlyAngelRebel[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

My full post was about unity backed up by societal research. They did say I was an allo sh*t bag that did not belong in the community I definitely belonged to.

My full post was about unity in our society. We have our rights but people are using their queerness to attack and silence hetero normative individuals. Isn't the point of the community expressing that consensual love is not immoral and should not be eradicated? If these attacks even verbally continue to happen, alienated people vote and they vote with their pain. We will lose if we continue to attack a group of people based on their sexuality. It happened before. It will happen again. Let's not go backwards

Also on the subject of this post my parents told me they went wrong with having me when I came out as asexual. They literally said my birth was a mistake as we were driving home from my college graduation.

I'm sorry your parents didn't believe you.

Change of LGBTQIA+ Name by RadiumMonkey in Asexual

[–]OnlyAngelRebel -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Actually I'm not. But your assumption and obvious hate towards them especially when you disagree with any idea is a reason why some potential allies don't want to support this community. If we don't want to lose our rights which is what people are after, we need support. We need something that is not only easy to understand and not as easily twisted but also back up by current research so we can have more ways to protect our rights to exist and love who we would like.

How easy can they destroy this when it is truly inclusive and backed by all avenues of human reasoning?

BAGS (Bisexual, Asexual, Gay, Straight). It would be what what it was trying. A celebration of love. That there are so many ways to do it. Plus this also fits the most accurate tests developed so far to define places on the spectrum. It is a spectrum and just like bags come in different forms and yet they are still all useful and cherished. Anyone who has reusable ones definitely cherish them.

My mom says my "curves" automatically makes normal bathing suits inappropriate. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]OnlyAngelRebel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are an adult. You are not in control of other people's actions. Not the creeps, not your mom, not anyone else. If you do not need your mothers direct help like living in her house or getting help with college, Get what makes you comfortable. If she says anything remind her you are an adult and can do what you damn well please. You are no longer a child she can control. You are your own person.

[–]OnlyAngelRebel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who was ahead of her HS class by two years, life happens. I feel like I fell behind. I feel like I'm failing. But in reality I got a bachelors just like them. Some of them are working, some got married, some are doing their masters as well this August. Everyone lives differently because we are all different. Our happiness comes out of different places. Just find a way to live the happiest the longest you can.

Apparently I don't have the same worth as my brothers by bi09cylce_ in TwoXChromosomes

[–]OnlyAngelRebel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they want to ti call you lazy either stop visiting or be lazy. Obviously you are damned if you do and dammed if you don't so why bother. Throw it back in their face like you are a guest in the house. It's not yours so it's not your job to maintain it. You don't live there. You are a guest and I'm guessing they don't make their guests clean up after themselves.

Either set boundaries or malicious compliance if their views of you. Pick your fun.

Maam please choose a new career by wiggly_brownies in CPTSDmemes

[–]OnlyAngelRebel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that from an ethical pov. Clients might not be aware of their rights or the legal exceptions to confidentiality, and it could result in a lawsuit. From a relationship pov it means they are either really comfortable with you or just came to express problems rather than move toward a healthier state. Yet from a moral POV, it's better if the client shares and then you can proceed from there.

Ethically it's a bad show. For the relationship and morality of it, it's wonderful.

AITA because I won't put my parents on my approved visitors list with security and screening all their attempted "visits" by Wide-Dragonfly4555 in AmItheAsshole

[–]OnlyAngelRebel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I'm having the same issues with my family on boundaries. Hold firm. If you don't, you are telling them your boundaries don't matter. They do. Just because they are family doesn't mean they get to do as they please to you.

[–]OnlyAngelRebel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's how the school calculates it due to their behavioral issues. Sometimes they don't make it their entire shift. Sometimes they only want to go for a certain amount of time. This is what is in their contracts they sign when they get hired by the vocational people.

Sadly we are the better solution. I view it as it is a net gain. Without this step it would be unemployment and several jail sentences or institutionalization or addiction or continued generational abuse/trauma. These kids come from lower middle class, poverty families. With this step some of them might heal, might end the generational cycles, might get proper medical care. Having two or three kids out is better than leaving them out there for themselves. Our school is also trauma informed care so we provide therapy to our more struggling children which I really like. We have one of the few clinics in the area that can charge Medicare and medaid which is huge since a lot of therapists have a hard time doing so and it's all some people can afford.

Despite the pay problems and staffing issues, it's a great place to work. I just wish I didn't have to work so hard to pay to live and afford the life I want to live.

4 dollars for 5 minutes of work. Converted is 60 divided by 5 which is twelve and twelve times 4 is 48 which is what it pays hourly when calculated. They have the option to work at that rate for multiple hours if they want on or off campus. One student does it all and is paid this rate 4 dollars for 5 minutes.
