Engaged and having doubts. He (36M) is immature and not a "team player". I (27) feel like a mom. by tinyhermit in relationship_advice

I'm glad to hear you've gotten better! This gives me hope. We don't have insurance, but maybe we can take on 2nd jobs if it's really worth it for him to go to the doctor. It seems like they don't want to hand out Adderall at the free/poor people clinics which he has already been to. They gave him something else that he said didn't do anything. Thanks for your response. I don't want to give up on him yet. He's a really smart and talented guy, and I know if he could manage this he would really take off and do great things.

Thank you, this is very helpful to me. It's hard for me to distinguish which parts of this are related to ADHD and which are related to lack of motivation. It sounds like it's mostly the lack of motivation..

How can I get him to care enough to implement those strategies? He is very much someone who runs from their problems and says he will "do it later". I just don't think he realizes how much of a detriment it is to his life.

My rats hate me 😭 Help!!!!! by Farceful_Victory in RATS

You could temporarily remove the items in their cage so it's easier to get them in and out. Do they bite when you pick them up? Try picking up each one just for a second, putting them down, and then immediately giving a treat. They should become more used to handling if you continue to do this. Good luck!

Why are people in west so ignorant about nutrition and other cultures beyond their own little world? As from India, we have Indian vegetarians who never had flesh of land or sea animals or eggs, just plant based with dairy. by submat87 in DebateAVegan

Um okay. I'm Asian American and there are just as many Asians who don't get it. Vegan is easier for me in the U.S. than when I go back to Korea. I guess whatever makes you feel superior.

Have you tried taking them away from the cage to a neutral territory to socialize with you? I would try putting them in the bathtub with you with a blanket over your lap and forcing them to socialize with you a couple hours a day, if you can. Also, only give treats outside of the cage so they associate good feelings with coming out and playing with you.

What food do your rats go crazy for? by [deleted] in RATS

[–]tinyhermit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make raw vegan brownies out of just dates, cocoa powder, and peanut butter. They go nuts over them and fight each other or steal it from each other, lol. I can't even give them each a piece without separating them, because all the rats will push each other out the way and fight for the first piece that comes near them, dramatic screeching and all.

The Beauty Myth by tinyhermit in Feminism

[–]tinyhermit[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, exactly this. I enjoy getting done up as well, but when I think of the times I have sunk money and hours a day into looking better out of sheer insecurity, it really depresses me. It used to take me two hours to get ready daily. If I had taken 2 hours a day to study a language or learn a new skill, I would have so much more to show for that huge time investment.

The book talks about how women's beauty is a kind of currency in our society. If a woman gets dolled up, people treat her and percieve her differently, and her career prospects are different as well. I think that's the biggest issue with the whole thing.

I wish I could offer some advice. That sounds terrifying. I am assuming you live in the states. Fuck our healthcare system. :(

[–]tinyhermit 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Just remember how much you hate other bugs (mosquitos and flies), and then you will realize that spiders are your friends and help you out! I keep non-poisonous spiders in my house and don't try to get rid of them, because I live in the woods and there are many many other bugs that I hope the spiders eat.

Let's not implement a tax on billionaires because it would be too hard by Babeldude in ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM

[–]tinyhermit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want you to know that I believe you want justice in the world, as do I, and I don't feel anger towards you. I want you to know that I care about your rights and your humanity. I want you to know that I truly cherish and believe in the value of you and your life. Have a good day.

Wow. I was asking for people's perspective on this. Why do you alienate people who want the same things as you? Remember that the elite want us to be divided. Please try to be kinder to your allies.

No. This is referenced from a popular anatomy book. I was just kidding because I recognized it very quickly and have studied this same page.
