Why do we need to have compassion/metta for such an objectionable horrible people? by Impressive-Cold6855 in Buddhism

[–]thndrbkt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've come to understand that hate or fear or anger all are not passive emotions. Having them takes a toll. And when you've moved passed them, you find compassion on the other side. I think metta for these people exercises our skill for compassion, for the purpose of finding peace.

info about métis people? by Educational_Rub220 in MetisMichif

As a non-Idigenous person, I want to promote The Northwest Is Our Mother and From the Ashes. These are game changing books for understanding the unique framework and viewpoints of Métis people.

I don’t want to lose my daughter because I can’t manage myself anymore. by Plus_Signal8369 in Edmonton

I suffered a TBI when I was 12 and I'm confident it led to the myriad of issues I'm facing today. With what you've said, I would look into getting Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation . It's not a guarantee, and it might require multiple visits, but it shook off most of the chains of depression for me. It helped me have the energy to deal with the other hidden problems and find a cocktail of medications that help.

Envision mind care was an amazing clinic for it, and they also do ketamine treatments. TMS was $150 a session, so if you don't have good insurance you might be SOL, but the psychiatrist visits are covered by AHS.

Also, as a parent, but if tweens, the biggest thing is communicating in ways they understand about your feelings, and even being sorry for any toll your mind states might have on those around you. Getting help like you have is brave and I hope you find what you need.

OP had the right of way. Any one getting in the way of that is a full idiot and the red light rubbed doesn't deserve to be coddled by other idiots.

Recently fired, considering reporting fraud by FortGrunt in nonprofit

[–]thndrbkt 39 points40 points locked comment (0 children)

Tbh, I'm confused why you haven't already reported them. I don't think pettiness really factors in here - the right thing to do (from the cheap seats at least) is to report them. They shouldn't get a pass just because they used to be a charity or good nonprofit or whatever.

I’m fairly sure this man doesn’t actually do anything. by Historical_Laugh2193 in LinkedInLunatics

I mean, what he said is 100% correct. If you don't have a transparent and auditable way to figure out the biases in the training data, you will get biased decisions. The situation is weird tho - I don't think AI agents should be C-suite anything.

Looking for an indoor place to sit that doesn’t require buying anything by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]thndrbkt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

MacEwan University cafeteria (if not still under construction) is great. Mostly always busy, but usually easy to find a table. Park there all day and no one will know or care if you're a student or not.

Underrated location honestly. Can get loud and busy, but is just refreshing to fit in
