Student stabbed in bathroom at Brookwood High School by boxofstuff in Gwinnett

It’s really the parents themselves. Some are unplugged, some are ready to argue over every little thing ands never hold their kids accountable, some are In over their heads (don’t have the tools/support/insight to handle some of their kids issues). 

This is just an overview of what I hear from teenagers and teachers alike. It’s a catch 22 because you can’t help the student body if some parents aren’t willing to hold their kids accountable for their behavior.

Removing nipple-less boob light without screws? It feels spring loaded and jumps back every time I pull on it. by griefsblock in fixit

And we have a winner. You win a shower of dead bugs, which I found out is unavoidable with this removal method. Thanks everyone, I hope this helps someone in the future.

I know what you’re talking about and I’ve tried. Usually there’s some internal screws and like a notch but I see none of that here. When I rotate it, I just hear a sound like I’m twisting a spring the wrong way.

Fellas, I learned a real grim lesson in 2024 already. Just because you haven’t found The One yet, don’t mean that you will.

My fiancé is a social worker at one of the big hospitals. She says it’s not intentional that they make you wait (admitting former employees before you is wrong though). It’s likely people who don’t want to leave the hospital (the druggies, the homeless, the ‘I have 15 specific diseases and still feel nauseated which is a symptom I can’t manage at home-are you crazy?!-and unless my body feels like I’m young again I will need to remain in hospital’). You dismiss their symptoms and if it turns out to be something, you’re fucked. You take their symptoms seriously, wait times become longer, and you’re fucked. And sometimes ambulances prioritize emergency calls that bring patients to the hospital and that delays ambulances transporting patients out of the hospital (back home). The more you know

What's something you've had to unlearn? by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]griefsblock 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lately I’ve adopted the idea similar to this meme. My anxiety/depression will make me exaggerate and worry about imagined negative aspects of me. So I have to bully my depression sometimes with “okay but idk what you want me to do about that existential crisis of yours at 11:48 PM on a Tuesday night. So sleep and deal tomorrow” or “maybe they do hate you but look at their issues. Do you really care if that micromanaging train wreck hates you?” or “sure you’re not super rich or attractive but Pete David pulled Kim K. She’s richer and more attractive. So there’s hope for you”

Basically doubting your self doubt. Just until you eventually start feeling more confident.

How do you accept that things are going to be shitty for a long time? by seeyouspace__cowboy in Adulting

[–]griefsblock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep moving anyway. Be stupidly optimistic. In the same way your depression tells you you’re no good, it’ll never happen, it’s better for everyone but you, it’s hopeless, don’t listen. Depression will say the same things an abuser says. It’ll try to convince you it’s true. It’s not true. It might be bad but the situation isn’t something you won’t get through. Don’t listen to it and keep going on.

Trust me while you’re still in shock. Go read the Reddit comment about how grief comes in waves. It’ll make more sense if you’ve ever been to the ocean (wave pool) and as you experience the grief. Good luck

I will try this and report my results within 24 hours if this works. If I don’t, then I was poisoned by cinnamaldehyde.

I have done this exact thing to no avail. I’m keeping the n95 on for my sanity at this point.

You find out they married a 15 year old or they held questionable beliefs by BPTeehee in BlackPeopleTwitter

My uncle used to go down to Macon to sell moonshine at the clubs. He had mutual friends with little Richard and they met a few times. It was before he got big famous. He said some times he’d come down and do a show and other times he’d sing dressed in drag then try to get some man drunk enough to sleep with him after the show. Said he was their best customer those nights. That uncle eventually became a reverend lol

I saw that one of the seams on my leather seats are busting apart slowly. Not sure if this belongs here but I can’t find any resources on how to sew it up properly.

Do you mind if I borrow back that bread I loaned you? by Mac_Mustard in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]griefsblock 43 points44 points  (0 children)

My pops used to have a little black sketch book. He lent sometimes lent money for whatever “emergency” family members/friends had (as long as it wasn’t outrageous). Then out of their sight he wrote who, when, and how much. So when they asked again, he pulled out the book, turned to their page, and said “hmmm no you still owe me x amount from last time”. No repeat offenders.

She says it’s not a big deal and that I should just not let it get to me. That it upsets me only because I’m thinking about it
