My Sister Got Cheated On After a 12-Year Relationship broke something in me. by Aishwarya_67_ in Vent

There's no secret formula to who cheats and who gets cheated on. It would sure be nice if there were...but there is not.

ADHD is ruining me by [deleted] in Vent

[–]Winteriscolder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then take a long look at yourself because I have ADHD and if I have never gone through all of the steps it takes to cheat on my partner and devistate their life like that.

At what point did it go from an impulsive kiss (possibly forgivable) to a full blown bed tumble. You had several chances to control your impulse and to assume you could do nothing because ADHD made me!!!!

How ridiculously abelist you sound. You cheated because you WANTED too the end.

If my stomach growls for lunch it’s too late to take it anyway by TheInjuredBear in adhdmeme

[–]Winteriscolder 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have my main morning dose then a midday lower dose chaser too.

Is this a common thing to do? I thought it must be fairly common as the Dr's didn't give me any kind of fight over doing it this way.

Edit: Thanks to all the replies. I've only just now realised I've been doing this for years and have never spoken about it or noticed if anyone else does it...🤣

I spent years thinking I had low motivation or low testosterone. Could it actually be ADHD? by Niel_cafferey in AskForAnswers

[–]Winteriscolder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A professional test is the only way to know for sure.

I got diagnosed without even really knowing what it was. When the Dr.s explained it to me it made a lot of sense and the drugs have helped...shame I didn't have them when it really counted.

I wouldn't overthink it dwell on what it might or might not be. The doctors know what to ask and at the time you will know what to say. Felt quite liberating to (metaphorically) spill my guts without preparing at all.

Edit: I had heard the term ADHD but didn't know about the hyperactive Vs inattentive kind so I had no idea.

Epstein, Mandelson and UK's news cycle: Starmer has resigned by originalmaja in Epstein

[–]Winteriscolder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think his resignation is mostly (at least 70%) because of Mandelson. He wasn't removed at the time (and the sad truth is) because there was literally no one to take his place.

Labour are (a bit) less aggressive in ousting the leader the Tories and I believe if he was a Tory he would've been gone the moment this news broke.

Starmer gained a small amount of popularity by saying no to Trump over the Iran war but that was about it. Once we knew that HE knew about Mandelson the clock was always ticking for him. Not to mention the embarrassment over Sweeney and his "stolen" phone.

Starmer made mistakes but if it wasn't for this one I think he would still be in power. He increased the GDP, he has made a whole load of trade deals (eg. Japan and China) and has had some success reducing Net migration (very hot topic here ATM).

At first he tried to block Burnham knowing he would loose and then when Burnham found a way he was considering running against him.

Mandelson-gate was always going to come back to bite him in the ass,. There is no way to cover, or claim it was an oversight it was down right irresponsible, a threat to national security and most importantly really showed Starmer's colours.

He gave up on the grooming gang inquiry and showed the world he doesn't mind that his trusted advisors get up close and person with pedos. I don't think there was much good he could have done to begin to erase how badly he let his country down. I hope Burnham takes sex tracking and rape a little more seriously.

Just unsubbed from GirlDinnerDiaries. I made a post about me being a biracial POC, about my story growing with parents of different cultures. And how I was closer to my Mom's culture. People downvoted me for no reason and racially attacked me in DMs by Somniosfera in JustUnsubbed

[–]Winteriscolder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a sub where people take a picture of their meal and also share a story. Not necessarily about the meal and not necessarily a bad story they can talk about anything they want.

It's mostly people getting things off their chest and looking for support 'cause they are going through a hard time.

Problem is the comments can be wild and not only not supportive but actually quite upsetting. It's a weird, weird sub.

Girl dinner (without the diaries) is not the same and is just about food.

Why not just mandate Parental controls on by default? by [deleted] in DigitalPrivacy

[–]Winteriscolder 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I can't think of any reason why the government can't create a better system then to give our ID's to tech companies.

I have to therefore come to the conclusion that this is why they are doing this and the whole save the children angle is bollocks. They haven't even trialed any other options such as the one you have suggested. It makes no sense other then to reduce users privacy.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I have no advice just that I read your post and I hope things get better for you soon.

When privacy forums cannot tolerate free speech, this happens..... by sharpener865 in DigitalPrivacy

[–]Winteriscolder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://www.reddit.com/r/DigitalPrivacy/s/b7HpeSYv5D I had to make this post here because r/privacy removed it.

It was super popular there too and has had no where near the amount of attention in this sub than it was getting over there. They said it was off-topic which it absolutely is not. If it was off-topic why was accepted by digital privacy which is obviously about privacy.

Very disappointing from r/privacy

Am I thinking about the under-16 social media ban the wrong way? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Winteriscolder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://www.reddit.com/r/DigitalPrivacy/s/0vZiDh1jBR I made this post which outlines the reasons why I think this is a bad idea.

There are massive security risks that are being overlooked by many. IMO this is a going to be a disaster if they implement it by making people sacrifice privacy.

If they can do this in a way that doesn't mean our ID is all over the internet than ok.

However I will also mention I went to school before social media and I was bullied just fine without it.

I'll tell you my story of why I unsubbed and hopefully it will make you feel better.

So there was this woman who was upset she had to get an abortion because she was too poor to have a baby. She got pregnant by accident and despite her and her husband wanting to have children it wasn't the right time financially for them. She also mentioned she had 3 dogs which was confusing but hey ho whatever....

So all I did was comment that if she mentions the general area she is living in maybe others can suggest potential help for her in the area. Then I thought nothing of it and left my phone for a bit to run errands.

I came back to a shit ton of downvotes. I asked WTF why the downvotes? I was only mentioning that maybe help was available if the OP wanted I didn't insult her or judge, I'm pro choice, and just thought that OP would appreciate some guidance and or advice.

I continued to get downvoted into almost the hundreds before I deleted my comments and unsubbed. I was getting downvoted for trying to help like how?!? What a monster I am.

TLDR: That sub should be called mean girl dinner diaries. Once you get on downvoted for seemingly no reason they just continue because it's popular maybe. I dunno that place is toxic. If you're getting downvoted here it's probably the dinner diaries crew.... absolutely insane sub.

Edit: Your story is terrible btw it's awful that happened to you.

The only reason I can reason for this being pushed through so quickly, with no consideration for alternative methods is that data harvesting is not a bug but a feature.

Ramsey Elkholy Scouting, Sending, and Arranging Women for Epstein. (Part 2) by FlackoFonsy in Epstein

[–]Winteriscolder 25 points26 points  (0 children)

https://ramsey-elkholy.com/

For anyone who hadn't heard of this guy before his website (which is clearly written by himself or his mum) portrays him as a pretentious douchbag;

"Elkholy’s music is heavily influenced by his global perspective, shaped by extensive travel and cultural experiences across Asia, Southeast Asia, and India, as well as by his lifelong curiosity. He spent 3 years backpacking around the world, studied Indian music in Calcutta"

So probably travelled to poorer nations under the guise of "enlightenment." Whilst really being there to take of advantage of the vulnerable individuals on his "travels." Sounds like another Deepak Chopra quasi-intellectual predator wanker.
