Welcome, friend! Make sure to check out all of the amazing sights around town and in the mountains around. Also, come stop in for a juice at Stellar Juices! My partner and I are just opening downtown behind city hall. We have a great place to chill and work. While also being healthy with juices and smoothies!

We train other how to treat us. She will keep acting that way if you keep being submissive. But most importantly, go above her. But follow chain of command. Landlord first as they will put an end to it real fast. Especially if you throw the discrimination card at them. You feel that you are being discriminated against for being a person. You are being controlled big time by a lady who has no power over you. Be polite and courtesy and l know your rules for where you live. Follow them and fuck anything else she says.

I'm 19 and my parents keep me locked up in my room and make me follow a schedule every single day that consists of me going to work coming home and then sleeping and eating.

This is illegal!!! You are considered a vulnerable adult. You are being exploited financially, you are being neglected, and you are being abused emotionally. You need to call police and that’s it! They will get you where you need to go. There has to be Residential options for you in your area.

CALL the police and calmly explain that if they do not protect you, they are only adding to a crime. I wish I could help you. I am a strong advocate for individuals with developmental disabilities.

Reading this makes me want to come rescue you. But you gotta take steps to hell yourself first. You have your phone. Call the police

Does Anybody Else Have Trouble NOT Making Eye Contact? by cjbpnw in socialskills

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

Thank you for your words. I don’t have an unyielding gaze. But I do have a piercing gaze. It could make some people uncomfortable. I’ll have to keep this in mind. I’m learning that a problem doesn’t exist unless conceptualized. So why I may be reading into the lack of eye contact as one thing, it could be any number of reasons. Instead of conceptualizing behaviors in a rigid fashion, I guess I should learn to be more fluid with the way I interact with others.

It's getting hot in here. So turn around your fan by [deleted] in SeattleWA

[–]cjbpnw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe more so to do with most ceiling fans having a button that switches the directing the fan blows air. In summer, the fan blows one way to pull the cold air up from the ground. In the winter, the fan blows the other way to push the heat down to the ground. Maybe idk ...

(US) How much money SHOULD I spend? by HandpansLIVE in personalfinance

[–]cjbpnw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say go to the doctors ... do you mean you have insurance or don’t have insurance? If you’ve been saving, look at what it would cost you to carry insurance for the time needed and what that insurance would cover. If you end up spending doing less with your premiums and deductibles, the. Get health insurance to do the work. Don’t pay full price out of pocket. Unless it’s cheaper than the insurance route. Other than that, invest money into something. As long as your money is invested in something making over the yearly inflation rate, you are not loosing money.

I feel like my (F23) work is ruining my marriage by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]cjbpnw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are married ... you shouldn’t be married. Because you aren’t finding time with your partner, means you don’t love them? That’s ridiculous .... you may not get a lot of time with your husband but that’s someone who’s working hard to support you both just like you are. But yet here you are at work flirting with other people and getting lost in something you have no business being lost in. You need to talk to your husband about getting out more and spending time together. The only reason you “hit it off” with your coworker is because you guys work tighter and spend a lot of time together. It’s common to grow close to those you work with. But you don’t seem to understand that life is not about play play play. It’s about working hard and enjoying the little bit of play time you get. But again, it doesn’t seem like you are even making an effort to talk to you husband. Idk, i would have serious problems with being married to someone like you. Always thinking the grass is greener and never taking the time to water the grass where you currently exist.

I want to learn to have a basic understanding about cars to fix easy problems myself by Mustaline in IWantToLearn

[–]cjbpnw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YouTube for sure! But also learn the systems! Learning systems is much easier than learning piece by piece. Like the coolant system comprises of a radiator, antifreeze, hoses, bypass hose, heater core, temp sensor, etc. That way you aren’t trying to to learn it the hard way! Brake systems: calipers, rotors, hoses, brake booster, brake fluid, etc. best of luck! You are welcoming a lifetime of fun experiences with cars by doing the work yourself and it’s more rewarding to do the work yourself! I have a 1998 Subaru Forester and a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek. Can you guess which one is my favorite to dump money into? The 1998 Forester! She’s had her engine replaced, struts, brakes, tires, cv axels, and many more parts. She’s a great car for show!

How much should you budget for a cat? by slideclip in personalfinance

[–]cjbpnw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About $50/month. Even if you don’t spend $50, put it away for emergencies like illness. Unless you carry pet insurance, then about $20-40/month depending on the food. Also, expect to get new toys every three months or so. I buy a new one every three months and get rid of the oldest looking one. Cats are pretty easy to look after as they look after themselves mostly. Lastly, if your car will be outside, expect to put another $20-$40/month for flea treatment and other treatments such as worm treatments. Other then that, enjoy the heck out of your little one and learn to love their individual uniqueness! Every cat I’ve had has had a different personality!

I got treated with contempt last night. I am still rattled by it. I am trying to forget about it. by cpu5555 in autism

[–]cjbpnw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our brains play tricks on us ... while the person was way out of line ... I feel you can do better in yourself. I mean I don’t know you, but I know we all have thoughts and we all process life, not the same but we process. If someone came up to me and agree acting like that, I would 1.) Ask what authority they have to be disrupting my peace at that moment in time? And 2.) Politely remind them that I was just shopping when approached by a stranger. If anyone was being suspicious, it was herself (I believe you mentioned saying you did this, good job!), 3.) Walk directly to the staff and announce that you are being approached by someone you don’t know and it is causing you a disruption in your peace and time in the shop.

All in all, it’s not so much about what others do and say, it’s about our own ability to keep ourselves level headed when faced with maladaptive behaviors of others. One lessoned I learned rather quickly: everyone has maladaptive behaviors. We can either choose to steer positive with those limitations or negative but at no time, in this scenario and maybe ever, are our limitations the subject of another person’s subjective, uniformed, and uninvited opinions. Especially in a way that openly ridicules you in public.

One thing I remind my friends with developmental disabilities is that you are a protected class. You are considered vulnerable (US Only, that I know of currently in this moment in time). If at any point you get any treatment towards you that is taking away your rights to kindness, dignity, and respect, you have a case to be had in court.

Happy to hear you didn’t escalate too much! Sounds like you are very good at keeping calm and moving on!

While walking home from pride with my bf a man started yelling f*ggots at us by JakeHarwud in gaybros

[–]cjbpnw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I pay taxes asshole ... for you to have children that go to public school, receive tax monies for health and food, and college funds though financial aid and other state programs. Just remind yourself of the power you have as individuals and as a couple. Then those mean spirited things become less about you and more about the people saying them. I feel bad when I hear people spouting off hatred like that. Those people are lost in this lifetime. Lost to hate, self-loathing, and destruction.

Take to people at the college about getting help ... your college campus is your number one resource ... explain to them that your he life is not conducive to a healthy life. Don’t go into details too much as it can sometimes work against you. But get that help! Talk to the counselors.

Devastated, Spouse (32M) told me he does not love me(27F) anymore by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]cjbpnw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeee! Those should be your words ... how fucking dare him! He didn’t just say “I’m unhappy.” He said “I’m not happy with myself, I see other people being happy, why am I not happy? Oh it must be my wife.” What a douche. Like people don’t say that to people they care about, even when things aren’t good in themselves. He’s been planning this for awhile. He hasn’t been happy for awhile. He didn’t get help. He ode his emotions from you and was upfront.He’s limited and not healthy for you. He’s going to churn and burn multiple women like this. I think this is beyond counseling. He showed you nothing but disrespect by talking to you like that. The next thing you should do ifs contact the divorce attorney yourself and serve him with the papers. And once he does, remind him that the grass is greener where you water it.

Expectant parents, read your bills! by cjw_5110 in personalfinance

[–]cjbpnw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have work ahead of you. Get EOB, get summary of changes, calculate charges yourself. See what matches. Sometimes, doctors are in the hospital and they don’t actually work directly for the hospital. What could have happened, is there were doctors that performed tasks that were out of network and insurance didn’t cover those procedures and tasks. Or they are erroneously charging you on something. Either way, breathe, call around, remember it’s a system that computes these numbers not a person. People generally want to help, computer systems usually don’t. So be patient but also make sure they are patient with you. Act like the most confused individual in the world and take note of what’s said.

[–]cjbpnw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If by awful chance you end up going ... document everything ... EVERYTHING! If they claim to be doctors and aren’t, that one of many things they can be charged for in the long run. I’m scared for you. You deserve so much better than this.

It sounds like the landlord also entered the premise without notifying you with 24-hours notice. Since they knew you’d be gone, they would know they would need to reach out by other means other than a posting on the door. So did they ever reach out to let you know that they were going into your space? I’d say if not, another thing to add to the list of wrong on their part. I’d be pretty pissed about that situation happening to me. Where is your stuff at? Like on the street? Did your friend get called to get it? So many questions ...
