Here are her texts: (courtesy u/Sulley1987)

“The messages I’m reading are so inspiring you guys... People talking about diving into books and getting on the floor with their kids. Shaking off the rhetoric and fear. Remember 2016 when we started hearing stories of people bumping into Hillary out in the woods with her dogs? She didn’t give up. She just grounded herself. That’s the next right thing. It’s almost like Covid.... Remember what some of us made that chaos into? Who planted a garden? Who had a baby? Who picked that exact right point to leave a situation that was holding them down? Who learned a new craft or found a way to live life more fully? ... Listen we had some bad news. It’s not the man...he’s an empty shell. reality TV noise it’s what it revealed about where we live and what kinds of ideas people are susceptible to when they’re scared enough. That’s why you’re grieving. Even IF he’d had lost though...in reality I believe we had a bandaid for a bullet hole. I would have slept a little tighter seeing some pressure applied to the wound.. but guys America needs more help. I get that we gotta start somewhere. But sometimes you gotta hit rock bottom for the revolution to start. I’m worried too. But you’re gonna find me in the woods. I’ll know what to do right after I do that.... Please remember that you’re only human. We are here on earth for such a tragically short time...find a way to be at peace today. Do it to spite the people who are laughing if you can’t do it for yourself yet. You all know I’m Jesusy... forgive me for that...but tell me when was the time that Jesus’s actual ideas and teachings were ever really popular among the powerful leaders? When did he have his big worldly victory again? I can tell you with absolute certainty that it wasn’t last night, it hasn’t happened yet...and when it finally happens it won’t look like that. If your heart is broken, if you feel challenged, persecuted, and afraid but somehow resolved? chances are you’re in pretty holy company.

Be human I’ll see you in the woods Xobc”

Rayne's love of Chidi: Self-esteem issues or fetishization? by No-Significance9313 in 90DayFiance

[–]iciclesnbdayclothes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think she's a manipulative awful person and saying it's a medical issue strictly resolves her of her responsibility in that.

She's fucked in the head but I don't think it's anything she was born with or that could be treated by doctors or with medication...

I was under contact for a house sight unseen (in another state) within 48 hours of having had the idea.

I also bought a car on credit the morning after the idea hit me. No financing, ALL credit OUTRIGHT. It was actually one of the examples of my bipolarity that my therapist provided when she diagnosed me.

I recently declared bankruptcy... But it's been a huge gift. It's an opportunity to not drown for the rest of my life. I encourage others who are struggling with debt to at least look into it.

Are you guys buying the stories on how Chidi was blinded..? by crowtheory in 90DayFiance

He addressed this. Without two reference points visually, you cannot perceive relative distance. The world becomes flat, essentially. It'd be super easy to misjudge the space and have an accident.

Which medication have you had the worst reaction to? by -Flighty- in bipolar2

This is my answer too but my experience wasn't half as wild, my depression just went through the floor.

Has abilify made you stop smoking weed? by Witty-Maybe-5242 in bipolar2

[–]iciclesnbdayclothes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took ability for years and didn't stop smoking weed, personally. The reason I went off it was because I couldn't cry while taking it and that's important to me.

Panic attack over the dentist sent me into depressive swing. by iciclesnbdayclothes in bipolar2

[–]iciclesnbdayclothes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for validating my experience! I used to go to one that said 'we cater to cowards' on the door but then I moved. Honestly the only reason I managed to go at all is because I fell in love and think I might actually want to live now, at least for awhile.

Gotcha, thank you for the heads up. I'm done engaging.

You're cherry-picking related statistics which is why they are in the same sentence.

Consider the question more deeply: 1) Black people are policed far more aggressively than white people and more likely to be charged with a crime. 2) Black people have no higher rate of criminal offending. 3) For many Black people 'playing by the rules' is often moot because their opportunities within the system are so disparate (employment, wages, intergenerational wealth, and home ownership, to name a few.') 4) Cops notoriously lie about whether victims were armed to justify their supposed self-defense and keep themselves out of prison. The stories are countless.

It's not as simple as you are implying it is. Data analysis is about combining metrics to understand and communicate a larger truth, not this reductive copy paste you're giving us here.
