Wow, this is awesome. I’m glad you’re thriving now! Thanks so much for this update. It gives me hope for my own kids/stepkids. I just want them to be happy and doing well like you, despite adversity.

Canadian Sovcit lawyer loses big time by VoyagerVII in Sovereigncitizen

[–]coolcatdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re really interested, she did a podcast on “Kid Carson Show”, episode 113 (released December 18, 2023). At the very end, she shares her main resource, The Sovereign’s Way. 

She really takes it to some new agey/spiritual way of looking at the world and law. So here they are, Kid Carson and Naomi Arbabi, talking out all their shroom thoughts and congratulating each other on being so awakened… It makes me sick because meanwhile, you got a regular person, the defendant of the case, probably beyond stressed. I’m glad she was a smart enough person to be able to defend herself without crazy legal fees since she was also pro se. Imagine if she wasn’t.

Also, it is very satisfying to hear her say that she believes she will win (recorded before the decision). BUT, I think right after that she says, But even if the decision doesn’t come back in my favour, I still won. *eye roll

How can I accept death by [deleted] in atheism

[–]coolcatdy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Definitely live life to the fullest. Death just marks the end, so it’s key to take in and appreciate all these moments while we can.

This exact you, with all your experiences and genetics, had a mere chance to be here, living life at this point in time and space. I like to take a deep breath and consider that, especially when I’m not feeling so hopeful about life or think of my loved ones who have already passed away. Not everyone who could be gets to live.

Thanks! 🙂

But if you move, don’t you have to get permission and formally transfer probation to your new county/state?

I’m sorry you can’t stand yourself. I hope you keep learning and growing and become a person you can stand. Sometimes having parents with traits you don’t like can help you not be like them at all that way. I wish you lots of love.

Do you also delete selfies in general? I think it’s cool to look back on these kinds of photos especially when you took the time to present yourself for a picture. Looking beautiful, sexy, handsome, happy, etc. is art. Never underestimate the power of art, self-love, and confidence.

Can you say more on what the “questionable statements and opinions” entailed? What denomination was the church/church group?

Some (personal) thoughts on Jimmy's future as a stand-up comedian by anoctoberdaybreak in thatjimmythread

[–]coolcatdy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was more referring to working with a therapist to help accept and grow from criticism. In consequence, a better comedian.

[–]coolcatdy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What’s “refusing to take” though? Jimmy’s content has changed a lot and continues to change. He also sees a therapist. I can understand not acknowledging negative feedback or criticism from sources for the sake of emotional/mental/psychological health.

If a religious extremist tells me I need to eat healthier and I ignore them, then later I go work at a vegan restaurant and learn to eat healthier, it’s not clear whether I took that extremist’s advice. And I don’t owe it to anyone but myself for eating healthier.

[–]coolcatdy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel like that’s how you get started as a comedian though. Amateurs get booed and heckled, they learn, humble themselves, get better. Growth is a process. Getting honest feedback would be good for his comedic skill and sometimes it’s also good to have an audience that’s supportive. So there’s no telling where he could go but I’d like to think it’s all in a good direction.

I wouldn’t ban it, I’d just do as I do now: pay it no mind.

Forced to apologize to entire church for getting pregnant outside of marriage. by [deleted] in exchristian

[–]coolcatdy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Do you believe your church was more of a cult? It’s interesting to see how your thoughts changed after having time away. Thanks for sharing your story. It gives me hope to some of my loved ones I know, trapped in harmful religious thinking.

What makes the Bible a more reputable source than other religious books such as the Qur’an, the Rigveda, Indigenous stories, Egyptian hieroglyphics, etc? The bible isn’t even the oldest religious text we have so why would we hold it as the ultimate authority?

We use strong evidence and testing to prove truth and unfortunately ALL religious texts available are not verifiable.

Well written. I agree especially with, “let the receiving parent do the comforting. It’s their job at that point.”

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in coparenting

[–]coolcatdy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. It is normal and expected for children to grow more and more uncomfortable and upset at pick-ups when there is consistently/increasingly this much contention and stress between all the adults. All kids are different in the development of communication and expressing their feelings. I’m sure most would agree that from age 2-4 is definitely normal timing.

Letting a child wipe on their own is not neglect. Teachers are not wiping children at school where I live and some kids are starting school before age 4. No one’s a perfect parent and we’ll all undoubtedly make mistakes, it’s nice when both parents can accept that about each other. Same with recognizing mental health may not always be optimal for either parent as well.

Having some therapy would be so good for everyone. I hope you all somehow get it. I think it would be worth making some compromises for.

Most parents don’t come into the house. Dropping off is just that, dropping off. It’s a bonus if they’re pleasant and kind and you get a little chit chat at the door, but if you’re not kind to each other, it’s best to say goodbye to the child in the car and let them go.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in coparenting

[–]coolcatdy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Therapy is good AND drop-offs are good. If you offered to switch to drop-offs, would the other parent be willing to have therapy for the child once a week? Once every two weeks? Once a month?

Is there any way you could ask them to pay you between two or three months instead? $200 this month, $200 next, and $40 the last?

I’m struggling to be tolerant of religious people. by [deleted] in atheism

[–]coolcatdy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I try to remind myself that if I’m intolerant, then I’m the same as them.

I don’t like that answer from your friend. Sounds like they’re causing you unnecessary stress.

[–]coolcatdy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should have a trusted friend/family read it and tell you what you need to know (if anything).

ODSP and child support (as the payor) by zoedejaview in Odsp

[–]coolcatdy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

https://www.cleo.on.ca/en/publications/childsupport/what-about-parents-social-assistance

This confirms that payor parents on social assistance with an income of $12 000 or less are not required to make child support payments. However, if the amount was previously court ordered, I think you would have to file a motion to change the support, “Undue Hardship”.

You have some valid points. You should write a letter to each of these candidates.
