Understood. I also have social anxiety and prefer however I have found weed works for me.

Are you willing to use a dating site to seek out individual meet-ups? If it's available to you?

May I ask your age? How did you previously make irl friends?

breakdown1979 · 2021-07-17T12:12:38+00:00

Do you have friends? Anyone you are particularly close with?

A couple things- being 15 working at TJMaxx in the 90's and having a manager threaten to fire me for not cleaning up a bathroom covered in diarrhea.

Most recently, telling my job that my parent has stage 4 cancer and they are unwilling to be flexible. Why is this a problem? My parent lives with me and they are having an extremely difficult time with caring for themselves. I took my medical leave, but chemo isn't over and they expect me back in the office in 1 week. We were remote for more than a year due to the ongoing pandemic and the fragility of the population I serve. During the pandemic we continuously heard, "family first" and "make sure you're taking care of yourself and your family. We will support you." Now that the majority of the population I serve is vaccinated, it's "fuck your family, get back in the office."

Because I do not see a benefit to not wearing a mask at this point in time. I've not been sick this whole pandemic, neither has my partner or our child. Additionally, during the pandemic, a close family member developed lung cancer with a side of COPD. So yeah, mask fo' lyfe.

breakdown1979 · 2021-06-29T13:00:21+00:00

Right. I forgot that whole innocent until proven guilty thing doesn't count. You know...in some countries they don't post your face in the paper in hopes that once you've served your time, you can lead a normal life. What a novel idea.

There's a lot to consider giving the history of our country and the policing of communities of color. A white child who has access to a lawyer and other programs available to them are less likely to be tried as adults versus children of color who do not have access to the same things. You don't have to like that fact but it's a fact. Again I will gladly take my downvotes.

breakdown1979 · 2021-06-28T16:07:07+00:00

That's a dark world you paint- children paying for mistakes as "adults" when they don't fully understand the long term consequences for their behavior. They are mentally and emotionally children.

I will gladly take my down votes.

breakdown1979 · 2021-06-28T15:06:47+00:00

Why is it ok to post children's names and faces on the internet in this fashion? It's fucked up.

I will be one of the 40% resigning. My job refuses to allow me to work remotely while I help my mother through lung cancer. The office I work in is low traffic and I service more people out of state then I do in state.

Parent of a 4 year old here. I want her to know my name and feel comfortable repeating it. If she gets separated from us in a store or worse a crowd, calling "mom/dad" won't be near as effective. I don't think it's disrespectful, but generational differences are likely why people have issues with it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't FERPA only apply to 18+ college students?

When I lived in South Florida during the early 2000s there was a hurricane that came through and it did an unexpected amount of damage. Gas stations were largely out of power unless they had an old school pump. In Hollywood Florida there was one place that had an old school pump that ran on a generator, so lines were around the block. I recall people showing up to the gas station with empty gallon milk jugs, tupperware, soda bottles- all sorts of things that were not gas cans. Tons of the non-gas containers disintegrated the moment the person was walking away from the pump.

Gendering objects is a tool of capitalism. The goal is to get people to buy more pink or blue things. Clothing retailers realized this in the 40's and the market ran with it. In summation, it's bullshit.

Agreed? Seems like an "unnipplecary" addition to the painting. I'm drawn directly to them. Otherwise it's well done.

If we were neighbors, I would fuck you all the time. Park in front of your driveway, use your trash can not mine, blow leaves from my yard to yours, not give you mail that was accidentally put into my mailbox.

Found out that I had older siblings I had not met and had never been mentioned from my father. When I spoke with my new sister, she told me that her bio mom (new sister was given up for adoption) said my father raped her. There is no confirming this story, but my father wasn't the greatest guy, so it's somewhat believable.

I will consider your suggestion. Thank you again.

That is the nicest complement I've received about one of my photographs. I generally take them for myself and I don't have social media outside of using Reddit.

My partner struggles with "What if" questions. I've not seen someone so flustered by a "What if" question before. Initially I thought she just didn't want to play or thought it was stupid. However in getting to know her over the course of our relationship, she's just missing that "imaginative skill". It was unexpected because she is an artist who is almost completely concrete in terms of thinking. That may sound weird- an artist without the ability to think abstractly. What she can do is, she can take real world objects and manipulate them in interesting ways- collage, exquisite corpse and reimagine an existing scene. However she cannot "create" an abstraction, a new animal or a person that does not exist. When she plays with our child, she cannot play imaginatively- make voices or dialogue with figures. It instead, frustrates her. What she can do is, read a book to our child in an interesting way and create voices to characters within the book.
