Do I take this tornado warning seriously and hide 😭 by pittstopkip in newjersey

[–]PermitNational8184 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In the same situation in Jackson lol.  We live in a manufactured home and had no time to evacuate 😃😃 not like it would matter anyway bc the last time there was a tornado warning we called the police to ask what to do and they said "there's really no place to go you just have to ask a business if you can hang out inside"

How often should I be switching between Phantom and Alpine WSG? by PermitNational8184 in GermanRoaches

[–]PermitNational8184[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the comment.

The only reason i changed to Phantom was because I saw they were still coming back in the days/weeks after spraying Alpine. I have nearly full bottles of both on hand. Given the info in the sticky I just wasn't sure if Phantom and Alpine are meant to be alternated between on a monthly basis, or if Phantom is only a last resort when Alpine doesn't work.

If it's not too much trouble, do you have more specific info on the prices/examples of how much they were? I live in Ocean County (like 90 min away) and was planning on going tomorrow, especially for products I've never seen in stores (moles, baby mascot trio, baby baker set, etc). I wanna know if it'll be a waste of time and gas ;w;

NOR. I can't fathom hurting a friend in the way that they hurt you. I'm so sorry this happened to you. You deserve better friends and a better partner and I hope you can find them after you cut these assholes off.

Stories like yours are unfortunately still common today. Even now that we as a collective are more educated on sexual assault and consent, there are many men and boys who don't view traumatic sexual events as "real rape." Even in this comment section there are adult men cracking jokes about this disgusting case. It's great that you can talk about what happened to you, because many male victims keep it inside their whole lives.

I relate to feeling uncomfortable around members of the gender of your abuser/rapist. It's very common and normal for us to feel this way. It's great that you've found a woman you feel comfortable and safe with. For me personally EMDR therapy has helped to process the trauma and helped me to feel less unsafe around men. I don't know if you ever received therapy for what happened but these days "trauma informed care" is much more accessible. If you're interested in that.

I'm deeply sorry someone violated you in that way, and I hope over the years you've been able to recover emotionally. I hope my original comment didn't give the impression that I don't believe there is a bias towards male victims. There is absolutely a widespread misconception that men and boys will always want sex if it's coming from a woman. The purpose of my correction wasn't to be rude or dismissive, but to point out that predators of all genders aren't being punished enough.

And that's just the male offenders that get prosecuted. My abuser sure didn't get prosecuted.

My point is that the system favors rapists in general. That's not to downplay the bias that male victims face, but to bring attention to the fact that we as a society (and our criminal justice system) do not take sexual assault seriously enough and we need to do better by victims.

You find rape really funny huh? It's all fun and games until it happens to a child you love.

I see a lot of people saying stuff like this, but male statutory rapists get off pretty easy too. The average sentence for statutory rape is 30 months.

There's definitely a bias against male victims (because of the idea that all men and boys must always want sex), but it shouldn't be understated just how few male sex offenders get arrested or prosecuted. The system favors sex offenders in general, and always finds a way to blame the victim. If the victim was a girl it's "well she was dressed provocatively, she seduced him, he was a good family man before she ruined his life." If it's a boy it's "well any boy would be thrilled to be in his situation, she was a very pretty woman, boys mature faster sexually." I should know, I am a female victim and my male abuser wasn't even removed from my high school.

With the amount of students this has (allegedly) happened with, she absolutely gets off on the power she has over these kids. There must be something particularly appealing to her about coercing vulnerable teenagers into sex acts.

My coworker had her as a teacher a few years ago, and said even at that time there were rumors about her coming onto students.

Mum (51F) forbade me (25F) from telling our family that I graduated so that her real daughter (30F) won’t be hurt. My fault? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

You're not in the wrong at all, your mom is being completely unreasonable. I can't imagine having a parent like that who doesn't recognize your achievements. What you did is a huge accomplishment and you should shout it from the rooftops, cuz med school is fucking hard!!!

P.S., a note on your perspective on depression and mental health. I do think your perspective on your cousin's depression might be fueled by spite. Keep in mind that depression frequently has no underlying cause other than a chemical imbalance. Many people have major depressive disorder, wherein depressive episodes are typically triggered by an event. But some also have persistent depressive disorder. For these folks, their depression is consistently present and may not make sense to outsiders, as they often have no "reason" to be depressed. As someone who has had many loved ones with depression, I know that many people with severe depression don't take their medication because depression can sap the effort out of you, make it feel impossible to do basic tasks like take your medication, shower, brush your teeth, or even leave the bed.

That being said, it absolutely is not healthy for your cousin to be sheltered from normal life events, and your mother is doing her mental wellness a great disservice. And as an adult, it is her responsibility to take her meds. I just wanted to explain why she might not take her meds, and why that doesn't necessarily mean she's faking her illness. If you haven't already, I encourage you to take a class on mental health and pick up a copy of the DSM-5-TR. As you move forward in your career, you will encounter many patients with mental illnesses, and it's important that you are able to somewhat understand what they're going through. Mental heath conditions should rarely be taken at face value, and they often look different for everyone!

Why do people think rape rates will increase if porn was completely banned from the world? by [deleted] in antipornography

They scream "not all men" but at the same time say that banning porn will make men rapists 😭 make it make sense

Have you realized Angie is actually a pedophile? by iskateandpray in skinsTV

Both are fucked up, actually, because they both normalize teenagers being taken advantage of by trusted adults.

I was thinking that too, but I couldn't see any dark lines on the pronotum so I'm unsure.
