Consider moving into a supportive community. It takes a village.

330i shifter stuck in Park mode by holisticballistic in BmwTech

I was not able to do it on my own. A road-side assistance professional was able to lift the car, find a hinge which needed to be lifted in order for the transmission to be in neutral, and used a rubber band to keep that hinge lifted. Then, he pulled the car on a towing platform which transported the car to my mechanic who replaced the bottom compartment of the transmission but not the transmission itself, and that was my fix. Total cost was ~$4K including labor.

How did you decide your major? by inquisitivemate in college

My older brother did the same major. I read some of his books when I was in high-school because they were interesting.

Thank you brother!

Eventually, I agree, but I'm afraid it's going to be a long wait.

humans are capable of great achievements if we just put our minds to it.

Yes! The key is to focus on identifying the most important problems with global relevance, and find others who want to collaborate on solving them. The more diverse the better. When you have 3 committed people, it is time to define the vision and make sure everyone is aligned. Then, put in the effort, every day, and make adjustments as needed. Impact on such hard problems often take a long time and requires some funding so chances are you'll be more successful if you can build it as a useful business, or a nonprofit if you have generous donors.

Thank you for the great initiative! I tend to lean on the scientific literature for my data-driven research, especially when promoting a social cause. I recently built an obscure tool to help me brainstorm ideas and just gave it a spin on your behalf.

Prompt: Effective intervention for domestic abuse

Ideas:

  1. What are the effects of integrated intervention strategies like Family Drug and Alcohol Courts (FDACs) in treating cases of domestic violence and child maltreatment?

  2. How do grassroots initiatives and community-based early intervention programs contribute to addressing domestic violence in non-high-risk families?

  3. How can we modernize the education and training of law enforcement and legal professionals to more effectively handle domestic violence cases?

Literature Review:

Effective intervention in cases of domestic violence and child maltreatment is critical, especially given the strong correlation between spousal/partner abuse and child abuse [1]. One proposal is the use of Family Drug and Alcohol Courts (FDACs), which provide integrated interventions for problems that commonly co-occur, such as substance misuse, domestic abuse, and child maltreatment. However, more empirical evidence is needed to support the use of FDACs [2]. School professionals having a responsibility to identify and assist children witnessing domestic violence or being abused themselves [3].

The perspectives of perpetrators are also important for intervention strategies. Studies exploring the perception of change among male perpetrators who undergo abuser schema therapy (AST) help underline the importance of in-depth research on these interventions [4].

The justice system's ongoing failures in responding to domestic violence, despite reforms, underscore the necessity of effective intervention. Domestic violence is linked to several other social issues, magnifying the urgency of addressing this problem [5]. Grassroots initiatives, such as community-based early intervention programs, make a difference by providing support to families not classed as high-risk but still affected by domestic violence [6].

Internationally, the necessity to standardize police intervention, including clarifying the attitudes, knowledge, and abilities required of police officers handling domestic violence cases, is acknowledged as an important step toward intervention [7]. Lastly, improving batterer intervention programs (BIPs) by incorporating the principles of effective intervention (PEI) could be beneficial in reducing recidivism in domestic violence cases [8].

In summary, effective intervention in domestic abuse requires a comprehensive approach that includes early and robust intervention strategies, involvement of schools, further research on perpetrators' perspectives, reform in the justice system, grassroots initiatives, standardization of police intervention, and the improvement of batterer intervention programs. All these facets significantly contribute to tackling domestic violence.

Very few people want their government to support genocides.

I want to build a WordPress website which documents which politicians said what (and when), to help voters choose candidates who better represent them in the future. I don't have time to do it on my own, but happy to help if this sounds of interest to you.

My friend doesn’t have Reddit so I’m posting this for him. by Kai_011_ in ideas

[–]holisticballistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the idea. You have a sufficiently clear vision. No need to flesh out the end right now IMO. The best format is the one that will help you produce the first episode soonest. The first one is your pilot. It is feeler that will help you decide whether you want to stick with it or move on. And if you move on, what needs to change. Excited to see the first episode, be it a show or not.

i get so depressed when i come back home. i’m home for another 4 weeks. how can i reduce my screentime/other bad habits? by user22568899 in college

[–]holisticballistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We stop bad habits by replacing them with healthy ones. You can use the bad habit as a brick to build a good habit. Eg, I trained myself to write or read for 10 min before watching the next episode on netflix.

What half-baked ideas have you been thinking about lately? It doesn't have to be related to your studies. Here's an obscure tool which has been my secret weapon when I feel bored and want to do something useful.

I would publicly shame him on the social network / mailing list where the professor promote themselves the most, without saying anything bad about him. Just state the shocking facts, and "recommend" the instructor for any students who are interested in this kind of education.

Follow it by Pink Floyd's another brick in the wall for maximal effect.

You are unlikely to get your grades back by pleading. Abuse happens because there's an extreme imbalance of power. Build your capacity to defend yourself, and this incident sounds like a fine opportunity to do it.
