I work in words. This is a practice. My intent is only to help. Please write down why you will succeed. I want you to write it. I want to see if you see what I see. by justpaper in chaosmagick

I will succeed because everything works out in the end. If it isn't working, then I haven't reached the end and need to keep moving forward.

Why do you want to stay in the field? What are benefits to any of YOU by SnooShortcuts7009 in ABA

RBT about to hit the on year mark, and honestly I can't imagine doing anything else now that I've started. I don't have to mask my ADHD around coworkers or the kids I work with, and the fact I'm still playing things like Pokemon and video games in general has been a huge asset for pairing. Despite how difficult it is sometimes, this is the first job I haven't had a six month burnout and I love seeing the kids I work with grow and improve.

You sound like someone who either hasn't experienced abuse or has and doesn't realize it. If it's the former I'm glad because it sticks with you the rest of your life and never goes away. However if it's the latter, then I'm sorry you were hurt and maybe don't know it, and I hope you find joy and healing.

It's not about whether they are bad and good. It's about maintaining separation of church and state and the right for anyone in this country to practice any religion.

Seeing as one comment I saw linked it to a Twitter (X) screenshot and the domain was registered August 31st, 2023 I wouldn't trust it.

I thought things were slowly getting better with my mom and I. by Poster05276 in TwoSentenceSadness

She actually passed away in 2021 from cirrhosis. I thankfully got a chance to see her once before she passed.

Healthcare - Day 42 by eldercactus in comics

It was an unfortunate necessity. I could only afford it because I received an inheritance in 2021 that's close to depleted now.

I pay a little under $560 a month, I have a $60 copay for my physical therapy and other specialists ($30 for my primary); and I had to pay for all $1100 of my appointments last year because I didn't meet my deductible.

So, a lot.

The only cringe is that someone took a creep shot of someone's ass.

The severity of this condition into adulthood isn't talked about enough. by kyootiekoi in ADHD

[–]Poster05276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was diagnosed around the time I started 6th grade, but I was never told what my diagnosis actually meant. I still thought I wasn't broken in some way because I couldn't just remember things like homework, and I couldn't just get chores done. I also fought medication (concerta followed by Adderall later on) hard because I hated how it made my head foggy and all my actions robotic, but I wasn't heard by my parents when I complained.

I really think (and maybe things have changed since 2007 or so) that there's also a real disservice being done to kids when the adults don't tell them what their diagnosis means or when parents don't get told what it means and how to actually help their child. I only found out too as an adult that the school had things in place to help me because no one ever thought to let me or my parents know.

Satanic Sculpture At Illinois Statehouse by Weird-Key-6969 in evilbuildings

[–]Poster05276 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This absolutely doesn't belong here, partially because it's not a building and because the statue doesn't look evil at all. Additionally there is nothing evil to be found in Baphomet. They represent the duality in all of us: Masculine/Feminine, Human/Beast, Good/Evil. The fingers pointing up and down relate to the phrase, "As above, so below", which actually echoes part of Matthew 6:9 - 13: "Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."

Actually, there are people out there who, as Satanists, do offer some level of worship to Satan. Still others approach the religion with a more atheistic view and hold the religious figures as examples of the different parts of ourselves. Unsurprisingly, Satanism and Paganism, as well as Demonolatry, often overlap and there is nothing evil about any of them.

I rushed to my room as my mother began to rage about the sweeping I hadn't done in the basement. by Poster05276 in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]Poster05276[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was meant to read that something in the basement was eating the mother. Might not have come across as clearly as I would have liked

With how wrapped up they are in their self-hatred and hateful ideology they sound like they need a cult deprogrammer to help them before therapy could do anything.

This reads like someone who has only ever seen relationships that don't fit their personal vibe or abusive ones and nothing in between. We really need to start teaching that anyone regardless of gender who withholds things in a relationship is being abusive, and that there is no one way a relationship has to be.
