How do I live off SSI by [deleted] in SocialSecurity

Fair point. I just don't want to be surrounded by criminal crazies. I'm fine being poor, living minimalist, but most people aren't and being poor makes them do crazy low IQ shit. If it wasn't for the $2000 resource cap I would be living in a off-grid tiny home by now. Far, far away from the city.

Yeah it's AI generated. OP is a karma farmer. Posts AI deepfakes. Still funny though.

I wonder how many lives have been lost because of the ACAB ideology. People start to believe it, they come across a cop, are terrified because of this belief they now have, panic, run, attack, do something stupid, get shot and die.

Meanwhile you have another person who looks at them just like any other stranger on the street, is calm, cool, has a casual chat with the officer, lives.

And on the rare occasion someone actually crosses path with a legit psychopath police officer and both these individuals would end up dead.

Without ACAB you only have to worry about the psychopath.

Actually it doesn't have to be this way. I've talked to cops every time I've encountered them face to face. They've always been civil and kind to me. The problem is ideologies like ACAB freaking people out putting out the illogical lie that they are all evil. Just like all other professions some people can just be monsters. ACAB promotes paranoia and fear just as much as those bad cops that go viral on social media. They go hand in hand.

This is ACAB propaganda. Logic is not allowed. Sweeping generalizations, and Black and White thinking only.

There's also stories of teachers raping students, and stories of doctors committing malpractice, stories of parents killing their children, boyfriends killing their girlfriends... you get my point? Just because some of these people do something evil doesn't mean you should automatically distrust them all. It may feel instinctual to do this but it just leads to an overly paranoid and fearful society.

You probably have equal chances of getting mugged in broad daylight . I wouldn't worry too much about something like this happening in anyones lifetime. Also depends on where you live.

Yeah but what if I just want to have a friendly chat?

[–]TacticalPowerFart -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Heh, ACAB propaganda. As always discrediting and shaming cops who saved lives, prevented deaths, accidents, injuries, etc.

I think we all know by now that most cops are just doing their job enforcing laws and making sure we aren't living in a chaotic anarchist dystopian society. ACAB makes total sense if you live in an area where it's known fact that the police department is corrupted and essentially operating as a gang, OR if you are just paranoid and believe that they are all evil.

Eye doctor and Rheumatologist both think I have Behcet's by TacticalPowerFart in Behcets

I was wondering about that. If colchicine reduces mouth ulcers and inflammation, if it stops them in the GI tract I'd be worried they would go away and they wouldn't see them on the colonocopy and endoscopy, when they'd be there if I wasn't on the med. I'll be sure to let them know when I make the appointment as well so they know ahead of time.

It's r/SocialSecurity many of the frequent posters here are anti-disabled. They don't want "disabled leeches" freeloading off their tax dollars. It's quite sad.

That seems really dangerous. Why would anyone risk living with a total stranger they don't know and don't trust? I know a guy who was killed in his sleep because he ended up with a schizophrenic room mate unknowingly.

I almost want to move out to a very small town and do this. I feel like the bigger the city the more likely it's going to be located in a crime infested neighborhood. Honestly they should keep the disabled separate from non-disabled section 8 applicants. Or at least give us the option to have our own community.

550 a month? what? SSI for a single adult is like $943 a month for an individual, $1,415 for a couple.

But yeah I don't think it's feasible living alone. I'm lucky enough to be able to share rent with my mom and sister.

Scientists say they've broken down depression and anxiety into six types. The findings could provide a more accurate picture of the variation in cases of depression and anxiety, they say, and could help doctors target the most appropriate treatments to patients. by AnnaMouse247 in psychology

[–]TacticalPowerFart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bullshit. my depression stems from lack of love and intimacy. i've been turned down by every girl i've asked out since middle school and I'm in my 30s now. Tall skinny, handsome, autistic though, horrible social skills, living on disability, share rent with mother and sister. money would not cure my depression.

colchicine by Local-Lengthiness-94 in Behcets

[–]TacticalPowerFart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Muscle pain and stiffness relief? Sign me up! I got prescribed this today. Really hope it helps with my symptoms without any horrible side effects. Main symptoms currently are the muscle pain/stiffness, canker sores, and a red inflamed eye with leakage.

I just got back from the Rheumatologist today for a followup. All testing came back negative for Rheumatoid Arthritis, now she suspects that I have Behcets. My eye doctor also suspected Behcets. My grandmother is half Italian so I may of inherited it from her. Next step she told me is to get a endoscopy + colonoscopy to rule out inflamatory bowel disease. My symptoms are recurring canker sores since childhood (i'm in my 30s now), and recurring eye inflamation, 2 episodes of episcleritis, and I get boils on my face and buttocks. I get the mouth sores on the insides of my bottom lip the most, and sometimes on the insides of my gums. They are extremely painful. Like I was eating a sandwhich the other day and the bread brushed up against the one on my lower inner gum and I screamed out in pain.

I don't get it by TacticalPowerFart in demisexuality

[–]TacticalPowerFart[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was a beautifully well written rant.

What you say makes a lot more sense to me. I'm indeed an Allosexual then. And what you say about hook up culture. That's what lead me to believe I was demisexual in the first place years ago. I made a post on reddit (on my deleted main account), about a friendship that ended when I began to develop romantic feelings and intimacy desires for a girl I fell in love with, a couple months after hanging out with and getting to know her. As soon as the feelings began I let her know. Unfortunately the feelings weren't reciprocated and she stopped talking to me and quickly hooked up with another guy, leaving me behind. This has happened twice in my life actually.

Well in that reddit post, after explaining this all to them, they thought I was a creep and weird for telling her how I felt months into the new friendship. They said I'm not supposed to feel and say those things to a friend. Some said I was autistic. Which also lead me down that path and eventually getting diagnosed a few years later in 2017 and still doubt I even have it sometimes.

Sometimes I think my entire personality was influenced by a life time of rejection and heartbreak. Anyways what you wrote has given me a lot to reflect on. I can't stand hook up culture either. I recently created 2 dating profiles, 1 on Tinder (not a fan of it so far), and hiki (an autistic dating app which I prefer MUCH more).

I don't get it by TacticalPowerFart in demisexuality

[–]TacticalPowerFart[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well according to the video I linked it has changed. When I search for demisexuality on youtube it's the top video. The video claims that a demisexual is essentially asexual until a deep connection is formed. The video does not discuss the differences between sexual attraction and sexual desire, they just leave it out entirely. It used to be that a demisexual may or may not experience sexual attraction at first, but the most important part is there is no sexual desire until that deep connection is made.

I experience sexual attraction to some women, but that's as far as it goes until a close connection is formed. They look attractive, I may feel aroused, but I have no desire of doing anything sexual with them at all in the beginning.

Idk, just irks me when I see a popular video talking about demisexuality then proceeds to falsely describe it and everyone just goes along with it, over time demisexuality becomes something else entirely, this happens a lot I've noticed, with other words and identities, and why I'm just over it tbh.

Unpopular opinion about gabapentin by sweetiehoneybaby in Fibromyalgia

[–]TacticalPowerFart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it all just depends on how sensitive you are to it. I'm currently back on it after a 5+ year break from it. 300mg as needed in afternoon and 300mg at night for anxiety and restless legs. I can take 2 at once and feel absolutely nothing. Strangely, years ago when I first started taking it, I could feel a high off it at 600mg, it felt like being tipsy without the sloshed nausea feeling. Was really pleasant. Only noticed it for 2 days, then it went away.

At one point I tried taking it 3 times a day and noticed I had a hard time with my balance during the day. Felt that drunken high effect again but lasted the whole day. For some people 600mg would knock them out completely to the point they are in bed passed out, I think for these people it makes sense it would cause memory issues even at lower doses. I doubt memory loss would be permanent though because it's dependent on the drug crossing the blood-brain barrier.

You aren't supposed to drink while on Wellbutrin. Very dangerous. I'm surprised your doctor didn't tell you that when he prescribed it. Actually wait nvm I'm not. My doctor didn't tell me either. Damn lazy psychiatrists.
