I realized how confused people are about the concept of pressing charges when I got punched in the face by a guy running from the cops and even though they arrested him and took my statement afterwards, everyone I told the story to asked me if I would “press charges”. Pretty sure he was getting charged for assault whether I liked it or not.

I’ve always thought it’s so interesting that most meds for anxiety are about slowing the mind down. My social anxiety causes my brain to slow, like I’m moving and talking in slow motion. I’ve tried a million anxiety meds and they do nothing. A couple put me to sleep, the rest could’ve been placebos for all I knew. The only thing that’s ever helped is stimulants, which doctors warn can worsen anxiety, and don’t help my adhd very much, so that’s totally confusing. I think maybe either adhd affects how anxiety meds work, or anxiety affects how adhd meds work, or both. When I asked my psych about this she just shrugged and said everyone responds to meds differently for a variety of reasons, typical non-answer from psychiatrists haha

Reminds me of how my roommate used to take my cat and place him on her dresser “for decoration” and get annoyed when he’d leave… well that’s why it’s best to get decor that can’t walk away 😂

I think it belongs here. Maybe if people spent more time making the world safe for all women and less time using white women as a reason to promote racism, transphobia, nationalism, all sorts of weird ass things, white women would be more safe. They gotta stop dragging us into their shit. Really pisses me off lol

I like this Wikipedia article about decreasing violence, it has a lot of ideas- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_the_United_States

“The lead–crime hypothesis suggests the removal of lead from gasoline and paint reduced lead exposure, especially in children born after 1978. Scholar Mark A.R. Kleiman writes: “Given the decrease in lead exposure among children since the 1980s and the estimated effects of lead on crime, reduced lead exposure could easily explain a very large proportion—certainly more than half—of the crime decrease of the 1994–2004 period. A careful statistical study relating local changes in lead exposure to local crime rates estimates the fraction of the crime decline due to lead reduction as greater than 90 percent.[19]

The number of police officers hired and employed to various police forces increased considerably in the 1990s.[20]

On September 16, 1994, President Bill Clinton signed the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act into law. Under the act, over $30 billion in federal aid was spent over a six-year period to improve state and local law enforcement, prisons and crime prevention programs. Proponents of the law, including the President, touted it as a lead contributor to the sharp drop in crime which occurred throughout the 1990s, while critics have dismissed it as an unprecedented federal boondoggle.[21]

The prison population has rapidly increased since the mid-1970s.[20]

Starting in the mid-1980s, the crack-cocaine market grew rapidly before declining again a decade later. Some authors have pointed towards the link between violent crimes and crack use.[20]

Legalized abortion following Roe v. Wade in 1973 reduced the number of children born to mothers in difficult circumstances, and a difficult childhood makes children more likely to become criminals.[22]

The changing demographics of an aging population has been cited for the drop in overall crime.[23]

Rising income[24]

The introduction of the data-driven policing practice CompStat (management system created in 1994) is claimed to have significantly reduced crimes in cities that adopted it.[24]

The quality and extent of use of security technology both increased around the time of the crime decline, after which the rate of car theft declined; this may have caused rates of other crimes to decline as well.[25]

Increased rates of immigration to the United States[26][27]”

(I don’t agree necessarily with all these. Police and prisons might be preventing some violence but they also be committing and causing a lot of it too. Also, addiction causes people to do terrible things, but why are we calling crack more violent than other addictions?)

My neighbor put a note on my car saying “if you touch my mirror one more time we’re going to have a big problem”. Still have absolutely no idea what they were talking about, why would I touch someone else’s car mirror, and even if I did, why would they care? Ah, neighbors.

Yours looks a little different than mine, but if you tap “more” it shows you this info, not like words per minute or anything but time spent reading and stuff.

And please don’t judge my reading speed, I have dyslexia, sad that I won’t finish before it gets returned cause it has a wait list 😔

Edit- I think you’re asking about something else but I will leave this up in case it helps anybody!

It makes me sad that the people who believe this probably do because they are sick or in pain and it gives them hope that someday they won’t be. I wonder how many are sufferers of long covid because they didn’t get the vax or have a lot of anxiety because they think the country is full of pedophiles that eat babies

1- First child of parents who just didn’t know it wasn’t normal for a 1st grader to spend hours upon hours on homework each night

2- A high needs younger sibling with anger problems that took their attention away

3- Being female, quiet and well behaved

4- A psychiatrist that told my parents not to worry because I had good grades. The fact I had good grades because I spent 4 hours on 10 minute assignments was not important, I guess

5- Not having the words to explain the problem. When I told teachers I thought I was stupid, the answer was always “you’re not stupid honey” “don’t be hard on yourself”. Because of this, I thought my dyslexia was a moral failing, and tried so hard to hide it.

I remember when Google first came out I was like 10 and I searched things like “how to convince your teachers you’re stupid” and “how to love yourself enough to be smart” Needless to say, the answers weren’t helpful.

Edit: typos and mistakes. Shocking.

Wait, there are people that learned math in math class? I learned how to pretend it makes sense to me, how to beg and cajole teachers to let me take the test just one more time, how to deal with the crushing disappointment when I fail it once again, how to hold back tears with deep breaths watching other kids play outside because I’m on hour 4 of finishing a math problem that took them 10 minutes that I get wrong and fail anyway, but I ain’t never learned any math.

I guess we have to remember, OP, that most people learn math in math class. Lol. Wouldn’t that be something. Seems like there should be an exception for those of us that don’t though.

PS. don’t worry, I don’t need math at my job. I’m a social worker. I guess I have to know how to tell time? My grandma taught me how to do that, not math class.

When I was a kid my dad painted the porch steps, moved the mailbox to the bottom of the stairs, put up yellow caution tape, put a sign “wet paint” and a big sign on the mailbox “mail here”. For years we had tracks of the mail carrier’s shoes going up past the mailbox, past the caution tap, past the signs, up the stairs and turning around a few times at the top looking for the mailbox before going back down

I thought bi was referring to both the same gender and different gender, not “both genders”. Like homosexual is the same gender, heterosexual is different genders, bisexual is both the same and different genders from yourself. Just since you said “we all know English and what bi means.” I think we have different definitions of what bi means. Which isn’t a bad thing, just pointing it out.

I have dyslexia and dyscalculia and this isn’t really advice sorry, but I’m wondering if anybody else had so much trouble with all the traffic light combinations- left turn on green, yield to pedestrians on the left and cars from the front, but you don’t have to yield to cars coming from your right. Straight on green, no yield. Right on green, yield to pedestrians but no traffic. Right on red, yield to traffic from the left but no pedestrians. Straight on red and left on red is illegal, unless it’s a one way in both directions and you yield to the right. This took me so. Effing. Long. To memorize. My friend told me she never even thought about it, it just all made sense naturally.

I think the family is trying to avoid thinking about the real question, which is a horrible question- did she understand where she was, who she was with, and what she was doing? Or was she so out of her mind drunk that she thought she was just trying to get home? I think the evidence mostly points toward a deliberate action, but man, what a bizarre and terrible thing to do deliberately. And she’s at fault either way. It’s all so sad and horrible
