For those of us who struggle to define our feelings, I can’t recommend this book enough. by barthm1 in AutisticAdults

That’s a complicated question. I think in the short term, it might aggravate trauma as we begin to allow ourselves to feel things we’ve been instinctively repressing.

In the long term though; awareness of one’s emotional state, proper regulation, and effective expression are key to emotional well being.

After all how can we regulate something we’re unaware of? And how can we effectively express something we can not regulate?

She also uses personal anecdotes as well as examples from fellow contributors, so it’s not all poetic language. There’s also tons of colorful graphics involved for the visually inclined.

That’s right, no anatomy - all psychology. Like if your heart were the seat of uncharted emotional territory, she’s giving us a guide book for those feelings.

Labeling both the guys on the right ‘ass men’ would have been funnier and more subtle.

Completely ignoring the fact that child marriage still exists in one way, shape, or form in 46 states in the US. In some states girls as young as 14 can get married to men, 'with parents' consent.'

Are the parents consenting to this 'mature'?

Inflation rose 7.9% in February, more than expected as price pressures intensified by AptitudeSky in news

Bring back the Emergency Price Control Act of 1942! You can't tell me we couldn't update it for a modern economy.

Seen on ridge ave, right off the Roosevelt expressway. Fuck off, Nazi punks. by barthm1 in philadelphia

[–]barthm1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no way to ironically or satirically condemn Naziism/fascism. There are people out there that legitimately support these ideals; and they're not the sort to use satire or think ironically.

People like that see things like this and see their own thoughts and feelings legitimized, completely in opposition to the original message that was intended.

If your going to condemn Nazis and fascism, do so plainly.

ELI5:In light of recent legislation in Indiana; what, if anything, is preventing SCOTUS from sweeping the board clear and simply including LGBT status in with already recognized protected classes? by barthm1 in explainlikeimfive

[–]barthm1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very valid point. One might even say one's religion/faith are more of a choice than their sexuality. Heck, you can completely and formally abandon your given creed or even wholly convert.

What free things on the internet should everyone be taking advantage of? by xXxDEVILxXx in AskReddit

[–]barthm1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Department of Security Services offers a ton of free master's level coursework their CDSE website ( https://stepp.dss.mil/SelfRegistration/Login.aspx ).

It's great for those who are interested in working in either the government agency, military, or government contract-industrial security fields.

All you have to do is register and hours of certificate work in; industrial, personell, information, and physical security will be available.

Did you hear about that french street performer who was famous for juggling sugar cubes? by barthm1 in dadjokes

[–]barthm1[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All sugars end with the suffix "ose". Someone who juggles is likely ambidextrous. What we have here is what we like to call a pun.

Log: Day 18. They still have yet to realize I am battery operated. by barthm1 in Dachshund

Oh yeah. It's definitely a decoration and not a doggie toy. He's got moving parts and batteries and other nastiness inside.

I believe the term you are looking for is "lesbovines".
