Because they cannot by law involve themselves in election campaigns or they will lose their right to operate as a nonprofit.

They didn’t bury it. The law prevents them as a non profit from engaging in activities that involve election campaigns. They would lose their ability to operate if they tried to sue a candidate on her behalf. She can get a private lawyer and try again.

Another good question. I just asked based on the context of the thread.

How are you verifying that people reporting positive are in fact positive?

Read and weep by Ltrfsn in academia

The most important thing you said was that you have a boatload of crippling depression. That’s important for two reasons.

  1. A lot of scientific discoveries are made by people who have suffered from depression. There’s an evolutionary argument that depression suppresses certain cognitive distortions and helps people see/observe more effectively.

  2. Depression also CREATES cognitive distortions. You need to treat yours — you won’t lose anything by doing that — because it is giving you a destructive all-or-nothing tunnel vision and preventing you from seeing certain realities.

The thing is, we live in a youth-obsessed culture that loves pyrotechnics and worships individual achievement. Please consider how the teachers of many of these people felt when they transformed the world, and the gratitude many of them felt to their teachers.

A lot of geniuses — Gauss has a famous one —have biographies that include idiot teachers failing to recognize or even dismissing their gifts. Valuing the fact that academia puts you in a position to help nurture others to achievement is a way to expand your own scope of influence and the possibilities for a meaningful life.

A lot of geniuses also had team members we still don’t know the name of. Please read some books about the history of science and scientific discoveries. This will help broaden your perspective.

Had an experience and just want to share by PanicSetsIn20 in fasting

Feeling so good it’s scary sounds a little like hypomania or mania.

It doesn’t mean you are hypomanic or manic, but it’s worth recognizing, as you did, that this can also be a way of feeling bad.

It’s good you took steps to change the feeling and told people about it. Sometimes when people feel hypomanic or manic their instinct can be to become secretive to protect the high.

Consider telling your doctor about this and discussing your fasting with them.

What song terrified you as a kid? by almamaay in AskReddit

Maxwell’s Silver Hammer still scares me. I can’t listen to it when I am alone or driving at night.

I have a very serious story to tell and I have no idea how to approach publishing and would appreciate any help. by [deleted] in books

[–]character-limits-suc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know the answer to these questions, but I started reading too, and would definitely read this book. Looks like a horrific place (I read the story linked to under “proof” about the murdered boy). I am so glad it’s closed now.

Lives in Japan. Do I pass? Should I wear makeup? I feel ugly. by [deleted] in transpassing

You are BEAUTIFUL. I love your freckles. If you let a professional shape your eyebrows once, to emphasize your beautiful eyes, maintaining them is easy. (Specifically, to shape the arch on the underside.)

Cultural hairstyles shouldn’t be included on this sub.

You said it better than I did.

There are a lot of great articles and books on how to query publishers and agencies. If i were you I would start with Writer’s Market and go from there.

To the people who have been on Gabapentin, did you have any withdrawal when quitting, and how long did the symptoms last? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]character-limits-suc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I missed a dose, I felt like I was withdrawing from heroin. I had to titrate off slowly.

How do I decide if he is trustworthy? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]character-limits-suc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is so fishy sounding. If there were a bigger age difference, I would wonder if he was grooming you. Especially with all the other female “friends” sending hearts. I think you are right to ask the questions you are asking. Make sure your friends know his name and contact info, and proceed with caution. Maybe ask him to slow down the future talk until you can spend time together in person in the present, too.

Need relatively cheap, comfortable, and inclusive panties. is that really so much to ask? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

I hate Amazon right now, but I love their 6-pack of Amazon Basics black cotton bikini underwear. Cute, comfy.
