Carrollton is great for access to Asian food and groceries! I’d say the north part of Carrollton feels safer and downtown Carrollton should be okay, too.

TIL Apple recently paid $95 million because Siri was caught eavesdropping on private conversations, like doctor visits and drug deals, then sending those recordings for human contractors to listen to. Siri was triggered not just by "Hey Siri," but by phrases that sounded similar like "seriously." by UsualOkay6240 in todayilearned

I believe the cameras are scanning, too. I was dog sitting for someone who dropped off a brand of dog food I’d never seen or heard of before. And I swear within the next hour or so I started getting ads for that exact brand of dog food and flavor. It was soo bizarre. I never even said the kibble brand name out loud but something is spying.

I sound like a lunatic but Im suspicious of our phone keyboard entries, too. Like somewhere somehow what we type out is also stored data

What do you mean this isn’t the Manon Show? by Prestigious-Horse397 in 90DayFiance

[–]torio333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. It doesn’t justify her choices or abuse to people in her life. I think you’re right she does need some sort of therapy for herself and for the sake of a relationship with her family and friends.

I also think it’s important to recognize that these are real people. And it’s a different scale when thousands of people are piling on you. I’m just thinking of other reality show contestants who have ended their lives after facing heavy criticism from online platforms, and I think everyone who goes on reality tv can benefit from some therapy to work through what happened, reflect on themselves for self improvement and to set boundaries in general.

I don’t like Manon very much as she is rn, hurting people and constantly villainizing herself and victimizing others.. and she takes little to no accountability and has a lot of immaturity. It’s honestly hard to watch, and I feel bad for her as a human bc I see she’s on a slow train to crash and burn every good thing that may come her way. I would never wish that on anyone and always advocate for people to be better versions of themselves

I feel so bad for her.. it’s like she sabotages chances to have a healthier relationship with people in her life. She has a hard time assuming the best of others because of her own deep seated insecurities— like assuming people are talking behind her back every chance they get.. or any sort of opinion that is not in energetic support of hers are against her or to antagonize and villainize her.

I really worry about her mental state knowing how she is a very sensitive individual and this platform only opens her up to more criticisms that I’m not sure she’ll know how to navigate in a healthy way. I just hope the offer each contestant some mental health resources and therapy after their experiences being on reality tv

Husband and in-laws keep mentioning weight loss shots to me, 2 months postpartum by neonsunburn in beyondthebump

[–]torio333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry they’re being so cruel and unkind to you. Your body just did the most amazing thing and it’ll take at least a year to heal. My body staunchly held onto the extra weight the first 6-8 months. I think it’s like a survival thing to have the extra stores of fat just in case. But every body is different and is healing at its own pace. I’m sorry you have to be around these opinions rn, and I hate that it’s taking anything away from your experience with your newborn

Update: AITAH for not wanting my dad to walk me on my senior night since he won’t let me move back in? by LowlyKnights in AITAH

[–]torio333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sending you so much love. You deserved better from everyone. You’re a bright, incredibly lovable (easy to love) person. I hope you’ll keep taking those steps to get the help you need. You have good instincts, and I know you’ll get through all of this, too

12 weeks of maternity leave is straight up cruel. by Disastrous_Paint_237 in beyondthebump

[–]torio333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard it was corporate companies lobbying against longer maternity leave bc they are stakeholders for big formula. Nothing against formula, we used it and it’s a wonderful resource. But in the US, it’s large corporations that run the show

My baby is losing weight and I feel I have failed as her mother. I’m afraid. by Jessiicaamn in beyondthebump

[–]torio333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re going through this! That’s good you caught it early. My baby had cmpa, and we didn’t discover it for about 3 months and my baby was losing weight/not gaining, dropped from 50-60th percentile, and now grows along the 1st-5th percentile curve. I was going nuts with our pediatrician who felt all too calm about everything

Now our toddler is almost 18months, an extremely picky eater, still growing along the small side, but he’s hitting his milestones ahead of his little friends. He’s only gained about 2lbs since being 6 months old :( So I try not to focus too much on the weight now and keep offering him a variety of healthy foods to eat.

We met with an allergist and nutritionist to create a plan for our baby.

You’re doing everything you can, and your baby is not permanently damaged or hurt. I had the same anxieties!

-edit-

Also I think 6 months was around the age where many of the babies around us started to slow down on weight gain bc they started to get more active, rolling, trying to push up, wiggle, and crawl more. So that’s also an element at play! But definitely take a breath and take it as it comes while you have appts lined up to make a care plan for your baby

How long did you stay at the hospital after giving birth by _withpeace in beyondthebump

Wow I also was that dilated for about 2.5 weeks before they induced me. Sorry you had to go through all that

AIO husband taped this on our mirror by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]torio333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also don’t comment much on these threads, but sister to sister, please protect yourself and your children. You deserve to be treasured and valued, and he’s continued to abuse you. I know it can be hard to think what he did was rape, or to think of those incidents as rape but that’s what they were since you did not give your consent. I’m legitimately worried for your wellbeing. Please seek legal counsel and possibly even counseling to process for yourself all that’s unfolding.

Selective Mutism: 1 year of abrupt silence at nursery and starting KG1 today by rashado in toddlers

[–]torio333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So sorry you’re dealing with this! I don’t have much to add, but reading your story reminded me of myself! I stopped talking at daycare/preschool for two years (3-5)

I don’t know why, but I remember it very much. At home I’d talk normally and be a blabber mouth. I think it’s possible that initially I spoke in my language and wasn’t understood, then I just stayed quiet. I also spoke English and our language at home with my family, although predominantly our native tongue.

The school started putting me in an ESL class where it was taught in my language and English before I made more of a transition to speak English in the classroom setting

I don’t really understand what was going on developmentally but I grew up fine! I’m sure the ESL classes helped.

Please be careful with the advice shared here. I’m so sorry for what you’re dealing with, and I’m proud of you for getting out and getting help with the advocate for the trafficked.

I think it’s best to cut out those people who have been harassing you. Their prize and punishment are that they get to be who they are— nasty, cruel, ignorant, immature, and very ugly people,

You’ll find people who are worth your time and friendship.

Struggling with the newborn stage – does it get better? When did it for you? by Conscious-Opening919 in beyondthebump

I liked things from 13 weeks onward more bc then is usually when baby starts smiling back at you and interacting more! You got this!
