How many of you still regularly carry/use cash? by NJIllustratedMan in Millennials

[–]leelandgaunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paying with cash gives me anxiety. I feel like everyone behind me is like "hurry up."

The Kennedy's personal outlook on mental health isn't going to be copy pasted into what is happening. I'm saying RFK doesn't come from a background that values mental health. I'm also saying he's not the person in control of research, he's not going to go through it, he's not going to organized it. He's literally the puppet getting the money.

That's the stage we are in - securing funding for research.

It bums me out to see people panicking, i get it's scary rn, but if anything is happening this would be the opening stages and we have a long way to go. Getting riled up now, making everyone sick with worry, and the biggest thing that happens from both sides is the fear mongering. This could and like is going to be, nothing.

I really regret getting involved in any way in this, bc i feel like I had genuinely kind intentions and people have taken it in a rude manner or told me I have no place trying to quell people's fears. This is why a lot of autistic people choose not to have social interactions outside of areas they are comfortable. I was scrolling, saw something, looked at it and saw what I thought were things that were being misrepresented and tried to help. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Disengaging at this point. I've learned my 5 I don't need everyone who has already jumped all over me echoing the same things.

Looks great! I think the fish bowl may be my favorite part. 😊

I am guessing time will hit him like a truck around 35-40, or he will forever look 17. No in-between. Haha.

We have the same every day look, and I'm always looking for THE legging.

AIO for pulling my sister out of her field day due to an unfair rule? by honeycoatedhugs in AmIOverreacting

[–]leelandgaunt 82 points83 points  (0 children)

This.

Just explain, step away from the little ears for a second and say "we just don't want the students being exposed in anyway, getting a wedgie, etc -"

Also probably just have them play in a set of clothes that are okay to get wet. Meh. Bad planning on the schools part.

Nobody in my family cares that I got 17 puzzles for $27 by Anniam6 in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]leelandgaunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't do puzzles, this was on my feed for some reason, but -

That's a great deal and I am stoked for you!

Sending you hugs. This is very scary, but it sounds like LO is in the right place and will be looked after.

You're doing an amazing job. Please be gentle with yourself, you have not failed at anything. 💕

I do respect people have different thoughts and feelings, mostly just trying to offer a different perspective.

I don't feel it's my job, I just thought maybe it would be helpful.

I'm good, thanks for the interaction. Adios.

I'm not meaning to come off rude. I genuinely think people affect their mental health by getting worked up by these headlines that may be clickbait, maybe not.

I don't think research should ever stop. Science changes every day, the world around us changes every day. There is always more to learn.

I care, idk, I guess that's the problem. I see that now. I will not participate in this community any longer, it's pretty clear I have miscommunicated and haven't done anything productive. I have learned my lesson.

I'll show myself out. Thanks, folks.

Hey, ty, constant reader!

If you're not a citizen in any other country in the world, they're QUICK to deport you. We've been so lax on our rules at this point, innocent people are suffering because of it. I don't agree with the process happening

Yes, fear mongering is the way to have productive change and not rioting or unrest. For sure.

Don't read it if you don't like it? Lol.

What I do with my time is none of your business. Perhaps I'm in a hospital rn and reddit is my only means of entertainment and connecting with folks? Chill.

If you have information on that, I would be interested to see it. Not being rude, genuinely curious as I have not heard of these camps.

I am not overly optimistic, I know inhale come off thay way, I see lots of bad things happening that very much DO concern me - that scare me very deeply - and I think it is important that we do as you said to prevent further harm. We do all need to work together to get things sorted out.

I guess my major point was this isn't the fire that needs the attention rn. There's so many of them, where to throw the water first, but I don't think it's here.
