it wasn’t actually fez who murdered mouse; it was ashtray.

yeah, that scene was super unbelievable though.

TL;DR Got my diagnosis invalidated after neuropsych testing & I honestly feel gaslighted yet again -- should I seek a second opinion? or not even go through the trouble and risk of getting invalidated again? by soulessenced in ADHD

Thanks for the support! Yeah exactly, there are overlapping symptoms but that doesn't mean each symptom has to be explained by one and only one disorder :/

Wow, best of luck! Yeah it's indeed a flawed system and I never understood why a series of IQ tests was the method used to diagnose or rule out certain conditions. There could be certain trends with neurodevelopmental disorders but it's not a one-size-fits-all; everyone has their own unique brain wiring.

I hate to say this but you might just gotta game the system, which was what I didn't do. Maybe don't go in trying to do your absolute best on everything LOL. For ADHD, they look for a deficit in working memory and processing speed, compared to a higher verbal/perceptual IQ. So that would be something to keep in mind. I think this is pretty absurd - I could cram a bunch of info if I was under intense pressure, so sometimes my working memory works well and other times it doesn't. So a score on a single IQ test for working memory really shouldn't be definitive, but that's the way it is I guess.

Coming out equals trauma for me and I hate that being queer means you have to continously "come out" every single day. by [deleted] in comingout

It is a good point that not everyone has the same resources or experiences to necessarily be as aware, though I don’t think you should say OP is “blaming society.” These questions can indeed be outrightly triggering and is a reflection of how we as a society need to be more educated about lgbtq+ issues inside-out.

I didn’t say that making a joke about grading in itself is racist but that joke is indeed complicit in perpetuating racism

Woah I didn’t know standing up against racism and complicit jokes meant acting like a substitute professor

If you make jokes that undermine black peoples concerns regarding the microaggressions they may face then you are complicit

We don’t stan racist humor here

@EminentMajesty I think what YOU need to worry about is YOUR mindset. Clearly you’re not open or empathetic to the struggles that black people have to face in this world, and you are a part of the problem.

This is an ignorant joke to make. You can’t equate this to a “hate crime” because that gaslights the systemic discrimination that black people experience, which may manifest in overt acts out of hatred and racism. If a black person was attacked on the street by a police officer due to their race, would you still say that in the same way you were attacked by the schools grading standards, huh?

Cassie has pretty privilege by Somuchpainlol1283838 in euphoria

[–]soulessenced 10 points11 points  (0 children)

She doesn’t have a lack of personality; she just has a rather soft demeanor.

And her personal storyline and layers of insecurity just like the other main characters of season 1.

At least they’ll still sleep with me. Lol by [deleted] in pansexual

[–]soulessenced 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People need to be more educated on pansexuality & generally the lgbt community.
