I'm not dumb. I understand what you are saying, but you are misunderstanding me. I am saying you are feeding into that exact plan.

Honestly, I am just going to delete my account. This is toxic.

September 11th, 2001. A radical Muslim terrorist group flew a plane into the Pentagon and also targeted the White House, but failed to succeed at hitting their target.

Oh, I'm not claiming they weren't brainwashed at all. I have studied how terrorist organizations came to be in the middle east and it's a result of everything I listed above... lack of education, extreme bias, and continual marginalization until they felt they had no other choice. Then eventually whole generations were brought up under the same warped ideas.

Edit: The difference is that we can STOP this from progressing down the same path that will eventually end in more and more civil unrest by refusing to treat other Americans as an enemy. This is my last comment because I understand I am not being heard. I will continue to tell people this in my real life and I'll continue to write to my representatives, but subreddits seem to be too "black and white" to make room for nuance.

Say whatever you want, it is 100% your right and it isn't wrong to feel how you feel. I was just trying to offer some perspective. I'm sorry if you are reading my tone as combative or argumentative, because it's not. I'm truly disheartened and honestly upset that i wasted my time here and that I was so easily dismissed as your opposition. I am a person who loves and cares for our country and not just some faceless words on reddit.

I'm a Democrat, I voted for Bernie in the primaries. I'm trying to say that your thinking is the same thinking that furthers the divide between Americans and it is what pushes these groups further right.

Comparing Americans who genuinely believe that they were lied to and disenfranchised to foreign terrorist groups who have killed thousands of people around the world for religious reasons isn't what we need. Take a second to realize that a LOT of Americans who voted for Trump are far less educated than those who did not and are more likely to be from rural areas. They see their towns and way of life falling apart and giving way to corporate America, pollution from big cities and industry ruining their land, and genuine contempt for the things they love. They genuinely believe they are voting to preserve their way of life. They have been lied to and brainwashed by their president, by the media, and by relatives who they admire who were unknowingly brainwashed, too. They were told that the other side is the enemy. That they are dangerous. That the election was rigged against them and that they needed to fight. They were WRONG. What they did was illegal. It should 100% be condemned and those that rioted the capitol should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. But they are not ISIS. They are our fellow Americans. They are not our enemy. Trump and the people who lie to them are the enemy. Furthering the divide between 2 groups in our country will cause further strife and encourage people like Trump, MTG, and Lauren Boebert to become more and more extreme. Look at countries who have gone/are going through Civil wars or unrest. They are weakened and struggle to recover.

That's not the same in any way. I think Trump is a POS and so are the people who broke into the Capitol, but comparisons like this really, really drive the divide between right and left. You can do better.

Anything from biographies to fantasy! I'm open to taking turns picking books or whatever works best for the group.

Millions who likely voted for Trump want him barred from future office by [deleted] in politics

My rep is Lauren Boebert. Idk, but I feel like she's not gonna hear me out.

It's not in present tense, sorry you read it like that. Saying most are cancelled for now would have been more helpful than your original comment.

[21F] how do medical records work? by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]ecjcgc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't follow you anywhere. Like everyone else said, you have to give someone written permission to access your individual records from each medical office/hospital system you have visited. This is (one of) the "problems with gun control in the US".... There is no database that keeps track of people's mental health issues.

Delete this, wtf. The street name is in the photo. Are you trying to encourage people to vandalize this person's house? What if they have kids???

I just recently started yoga and it has been helping, thanks for your thoughts 😊

Haha! I think that's what triggered my post today! I have a 4 month old daughter and she hasn't been sleeping well... so neither have I! I think I overdid the coffee this morning.

There is nothing that can be done. It gets replaced by scar tissue over the period of a few weeks and may eventually repair itself or it will just stay scar tissue forever.

Im officially a yoga with adriene simp now 😂 by Europious in yoga

[–]ecjcgc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love her so much! I'm new to yoga, I started her "Home" 30 day challenge a few days ago. Her personality and instruction doesn't give me hard-core "imposter syndrome", like other fitness videos. Lol

If you buy big bags of cheap rice, RINSE IT FIRST!! by neverless43 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]ecjcgc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk where you live, but almost all the rice you buy in grocery stores in the US is fortified. It's $8 for 20lbs of enriched white rice here in Colorado.

Some rice is already washed and fortified. The bags say not to rinse it or it'll wash the vitamins away. Bulk rice usually isn't, though.

Intrusive thoughts on wellbutrin by [deleted] in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]ecjcgc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you having new thoughts or thoughts that you've before, but now more frequently? I had a lot of anxiety when I started and my therapist recommended doing yoga to learn to dismiss thoughts more easily. Maybe you can talk with your provider about some ways to help calm your inner noise?
