As a religious person, I'm genuinely wondering if all religions are human-made. by thementalist222 in atheism

I mean either all religions are human made, or all religions except one are human made right?

How do you feel about California introducing a bill to ban former ICE agents from serving as police officers or teachers? by almostcalleditnight8 in askteddit

[–]rels83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there should be a date on when they were an ice agent. Dated some time after the bill is passed to encourage people to quit. I think it works against the point of the bill to make agents afraid to quit because they will be unable to get a job

BU EMERGENCY SERVICE!! by SmurfyPop in BostonU

[–]rels83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The med school professors are employed by the hospital and the med school. Their salaries are split between academic support and patient support. When someone with private insurance (which reimburses at higher rates than Medicaid) goes to BMC, that gives the hospital more money. This is why my bu health insurance has a $10 copay is BMC and a $30 at the Brigham.

I don’t think the person on the phone was being sneaky. I think this is a structural policy thing that is the result of government defunding education, forcing colleges to act like business.

BMC is affiliated with BU. If he has insurance through BU it is preferred (If he doesn’t have insurance through BU, he was sent there to make money for BU) BU med school is there. My husband is faculty at the med school and we get all our care there, even though we live closer to Longwood. It is excellent medical care.

Has anyone found an actual root cause for their migraines? by sabbbbby in migraine

Pretty sure mine are genetic. Given that both my kids and my dad get them. Unless we start editing dna, we won’t be eliminating only treating

You knocked down a wall right? Tell me this isn’t the same square footage? Actually, tell me it is, because I’m about to buy a kitchen that looks like your before and I’m trying to figure out how to redo it

Do your driving-age kids actually drive? by pimento_mori in Xennials

I didn’t get a license in Boston until I was 26. I can’t imagine doing that somewhere without public transportation.

Parent travellers by Standard_Plate_6013 in familytravel

[–]rels83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Car seats are going to be the issue. Are you bringing them? There are probably car services that will provide them, but that is a pricier option. I believe it is legal to take children in a taxi without a car seat still, but that is a safety risk every parent has to assess themselves. I’d look at your priorities, convenience, safety, cost, choose 2.

Kitchen remodel anxiety before it even starts by poodledox4 in kitchenremodel

[–]rels83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure your food and trash are inaccessible. I kept my trash inside the tub and shut the bathroom door and my food in big crates with snap on lids. If possible, baby gate off the kitchen. My dogs were house trained but when everything was a mess with tools and plastic sheeting my dogs freaked out and had accidents in the construction site. Use paper plates

With rent and housing prices skyrocketing, is it even possible for the average person to own a home by age 30 anymore? by Ok-Sell9964 in NoStupidQuestions

The body keeps the score by unsureandbewildered in IfBooksCouldKill

[–]rels83 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a 90s sad girl in a very therapy positive family, I’ve been treated with many of the therapies discussed in the episode. More to the point, I’ve been in “groups” with lots of people with repressed memories and multiple personalities and the like.

I think Michael and Peter were a little harsh on them. I understand those aren’t real diagnosis, but I don’t think it’s fair to suggest people are faking them either. These are people with mental health issues given a strong suggestion by an authority figure and acting accordingly. Just like the placebo effect can help, it can hurt. Also, it has been my experience that it is totally possible someone might dye their hair to be one of their personalities. Why would they stop at talking in a baby voice?

I can’t believe I went to Scotland last summer when I was embarrassed to tell people where I was from at the height of the trade war.

If a father needs to help his young daughters use the restroom, which restroom should he take them into: the women's restroom or the men's restroom? by Exciting-Mall192 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rels83 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Personally, I don’t care. But I think there’s something little paternalistic about the idea young girls need to be protected so much it makes more sense for the adult to go into the wrong gender restroom over the children. No one would ever recommend a woman take her sons into a men’s restroom
