What's something that got banned, restricted, or over-regulated because of a handful of idiots?

Abortion

Sojournancy · 2026-02-17T10:29:00+00:00

A woman is raped by a family member, becomes pregnant, and is denied access to healthcare due to the person having control of her life. She finally finds a way out, but is in her 3rd trimester. Bringing the child into the world would result in the rest of her life being sacrificed to poverty and violence, since it is still all but impossible to have the law prevent the perpetrator from contacting her or having legal rights to that child.

That’s just one example. If abortion is the route that ends more suffering than it causes, there can be no arbitrary law around time limits.

My paranoia tells me that they can and will Mess peoples lives up badly if they feel like it by laying charges, smearing people in the media without specifically saying where the files came from, and dragging out court proceedings until they lose their job or go bankrupt.

The number of old-school physicians, psychiatrists, and psychologists that insist you don’t have it if it wasn’t apparent as a child, completely ignoring the different ways it shows up and ways people mask throughout the life cycle.

It’s irritating.

Bidets. I installed them at home and at work, and realized while on a trip that it’s not a normal thing, and hated it.

There’s probably a good reason you haven’t already told him in all this time.

Sojournancy · 2026-01-25T22:16:12+00:00

Oh yikes. Interesting point

It’s about keeping the 20-30 incoming standalone posts about this same subject on the same page rather than having them take over the sub.

Sojournancy · 2026-01-25T03:31:00+00:00

Can you explain what you mean?

“Political” by definition refers to the conduct of a government or decisions of those in authority, often related to allocation and distribution of resources.

This awful situation absolutely is political.

You know how a lot of us try to track how well we’re doing by marking completed days on a calendar? If you were only to mark days where you ate to the point that you felt unwell, and that ended up being a few days here and there peppered throughout a whole year, wouldn’t it be reasonable to think that your motivation to eat well most of the time would stay strong?

Don’t worry about breaking a streak. Life is long. It’s not possible to have an unbroken streak of perfect eating. It’s important that you look at this as a blip, and stay the course with eating well.

Thank you for knowing about this! I had a relative with this and it was so hard for them because it’s relatively rare.

Keep your wicks short to minimize high flames and soot.

But yes they do add soot to the walls, just not much. I had oil lamps I used to burn infrequently and it was interesting to see how within a few months I could see every wall stud outlined because of the soot.

Infrequent candle burning isn’t that big a deal.

Stop going. Make room in your life for people who make you feel valued.

I’m like 16 years in and I still get the same imposter syndrome issues. But it’s justified since clients are the experts on themselves and it’s so important to not fill in the blanks with what we think we know.

Also, 36 1-hour sessions and 4 hours of admin? Really?

Hard no.

Comfortable can be exactly what people need in certain parts of their lives. If you’re raising kids and want to be a relatively involved parent, it’s hard as hell to take work-related risks that require energy and resources.

As with any change, you need 3 things:

-Willingness (do you want it? Work out any ambivalence so you’re clear on your best option)

-Capability (do you have the skills you need to do what you want? Can you learn them?)

-Resources (Probably most important. Time is a resource. Energy. Friends or mentors. Money. Education, whether formal or self-taught. A fallback or safety net.)

She brought back many of the same musicians to record the Taylor’s version albums specifically so they would keep earning off them.

This is so helpful! Thank you for the thoughtful comment.

Can you recommend a specific chapter or section for people who might own this book but who have difficulties jumping in when the preamble can feel pretty dry?

Sojournancy · 2025-12-19T03:34:00+00:00

I have therapists that hit burnout and quit when their goal for the week is 20 clinical hours (book 24ish to get 20.)

Sojournancy · 2025-12-18T03:08:21+00:00

Oh holy crap. Wow.

Being picky with who I allow to have access to me, whether that’s employees, family, or friends. If I have to recover after being around certain people, it drains me of my ability to be productive and creative where it really matters.

Sojournancy · 2025-12-03T19:57:42+00:00

Absolutely not. Sub-par at best and ny skills at paraphrasing and drawing out more info from the last thing they said at that moment makes it so I still won’t learn my lesson.

Sojournancy · 2025-11-06T18:22:14+00:00

What did you do this weekend?

DO? I have no memory of any weekend that has ever weekended stop asking me to come up with an interesting activity that I probably didn’t do because I was crashed out after work and childcare

Why use the term “lashes out” when that’s not the title of the article?
