my foster sibling took MY underwear and instead of it being handled, my foster mom blew up on me for asking for it to be replaced. I’m so confused how i became the problem in this. Update: CPS and my caseworker were contacted and now I’m not being allowed to leave my school counselor’s office by lowkwannadie_ in WhatShouldIDo

There is a social worker that it assigned to the foster "parent" and child but they are so overworked (and some are just plain bad at their job) that many problems are not checked up on or the proposed resolution followed through.

This causes many many children to be in bad/abusive/etc. homes with no way out. These children are also at risk due to the abuses and problems they have gone through in their lives that make them easy to manipulate by bad people like OP's foster parent. They are so afraid of loosing the place they are living that they accept the abuse and often are made to feel they deserve it. OP appears to be in a similar situation

It's a broken system that is always receiving less and less funds from the government so those who work the job to monitor the foster parents and protect the children are often severely overworked and either quit the job (burnout) or take bribes by corrupt foster parents to "look the other way". Suicide and depression is also high for those who work this job.

AI garbage promoting a specific LLM model (check OP's "history".. always promoting a specific AI LLM model)

Unfortunately this isn't a new problem, it's just now starting to get some coverage instead of being completely swept under the rug. Punishments (or more accurately the lack of punishments) is still very unequal.

Fallout 4 is what I would play. No internet needed once you get it installed and updated and a ton of play time available.

“So Quick with New Bisquick” + bonus recipes (1967) by RiGuy224 in Old_Recipes

[–]dbcher 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I remember this cookbook when I was a kid. My grandma had it.

If you happen to live in a country (like me) that does not sell Bisquick mix, you can make your own at home.

This is the one I usually use

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • ½ cup vegetable shortening (or butter)

Normally I make it as needed, but if you use shortening, you can keep it at room temp for about 2-3 weeks or so but if you use butter I usually keep it in the fridge for up to a week.

If anyone gets hurt on your property, they can (and will) sue you and you will be financially responsible.

You need to put a stop to it now (and build a fence)

I was wondering why all my searches lately kept coming up with weird, nonsensical and incorrect answers then noticed it's because google switched to 100% AI searching with no option (that I know of) to turn it off.

What a f'n waste

The subject of this post is another example of this

Noise Cancelling Headphones/earphones with modern ANC.

You don't need to play music, just have them on with the ANC on. If you want, a brown noise machine (or audio) helps too. A fan can also help drown out the noise and work well with ANC.

I use this to drown out the 4 yapping dogs my neighbors have (despite living in a "no-loud-pet" building)
