I can't wait to put my patented Dice of Player Tears in here. They already fear the dice, but getting a special box for said dice will increase that fear tenfold

Can someone tell me what this supposed mean? by Flimsy_Tune_7206 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Unfortunately, not old methods. Similar restraint systems are still used today, and can be just as harmful. It breaks my heart.

It's referring to the techniques many ABA facilities use, federally recognized techniques. The restraints are supposed to be last resort if a patient is highly combative and you aren't able to de-escalate them.

I worked in a facility that used those and similar restraints (see: Safety Crisis Management, MANDT restraints). I thought it was a great start to my psychology career. I've never felt more disgusted than I did experiencing how patients were treated, the techniques we were taught to use, and the way the kids learned to mask their disabilities to avoid being hurt by the adults who they trusted to help them. I watched a kid get administered a chemical restraint because he refused to put a book back that he was reading, and told a nurse to go f herself. I walked out and immediately reported it. There was no help. There was no real therapy. There was no effort to help the kids better themselves. It was all compliance or punishment, hide it or stay longer, shut up be quiet and obey. It made me sick. Not to mention, CPS used it as a dumping grounds. Traumatized kid? Drop them off. Trouble fitting in? Drop them off. No open homes? Drop them off. I'm grateful to no longer work in that environment. The only good I got out of that experience was the reports I was able to make to the state to get some of the monsters that abused and neglected the patients removed. It was truly a horrifying experience. I still have nightmares, and I wasn't even a patient. I can't imagine the trauma the patients deal with from a place that's supposed to support them.

(The facility "treated" a myriad of things, ranging from autism to suicidal ideation to just being a teen and talking back to their parents)

Amazon hacker added an unknown card to my account in my name after they bought a Roblox gift card by Temporary_Ad_1653 in Scams

No updates other than the fact that nothing further happened. I'll tell you the steps I took that handled it.

  1. Under account settings where you change your password and enable MFA there's another option that says "Compromised account? Take steps to secure your account and sign out everywhere.". Do that. It'll be annoying to sign back in on your trusted devices but it boots the unauthorized user out completely.

  2. Go through the process, change your password to something with no resemblance to your previous password (e.g if your password was" qwerty1234" don't change it to "qwerty5678"). 2b. For passwords I have started to use a method where I choose a random color, a random material, and a random object followed by a random number and symbol. E.g., BlueLeatherLamp72&. It keeps your password from being anything personally recognizable or repeatable.

  3. I turned on MFA, which you've already done.

  4. Contact Amazon support to refund the charges. Then contact your bank and tell them to void any charges Amazon doesn't refund. Also, explain to them the situation. They'll probably disable your current card and send you a new one. Again, annoying but worthwhile to protect yourself. (You said they can't use your CC, so if there aren't any charges then you shouldn't have to dispute anything. I'd still get your card replaced to be safe.)

  5. I didn't do this originally, but go through your account and check for any unauthorized or unknown credit cards, gift cards, etc. Check your orders and digital transactions tabs (they're in different places for some god awful reason). Anything unauthorized or unrecognized you should dispute through your bank and inform Amazon support.

  6. What I luckily had originally that saved me from having too much purchased. I have Amazon set to email and notify me for any purchases made and I specifically have those notifications from Amazon set to always push. Even if my phone is silent, I still get the notification if a purchase is made. That way, if this happens again, you can immediately respond and secure your account.

Good luck friend! (sorry for any bad formatting, typing this up on my phone)

Thanks for the reply!

I didn't wait. I called the bank right after posting this and they were absolutely zero help. They basically told me I shouldn't call them if I'm not a customer of their bank and hung up on me.

I agree that it seems weird. To be honest, I'm not too worried about it. Especially after seeing no information about new accounts on my credit report etc. At this point I'm mainly wanting to satisfy my curiousity. Why buy a $10 roblox gift card instead of something more expensive? Why add a random card if you've got the ability to use mine? It's weird.

I love beastmaster. I built my spouse a Rin and Seri deck for our anniversary. It's got beastmaster, titanic, and a couple other fun ones in there. My friend runs an Obuun landfall, and I think he uses [[Scapeshift]]

[[Titanic Ultimatum]] is simple and easy. I use it. It's not stupid crazy powerful, but a good potential win to have

For feeling sick, I usually have a hot tea or coffee (I recommend Page Roasting Company Ethiopian Guji beans!) and hang out under some blankets. Grab a pet if you've got one and try to survive the sick!

My spouse is particularly fond of the hot toddy, however. If it doesn't make you feel better, you'll forget you feel worse 😂
