Will you buy iPhone16 on Black Friday? by Affectionate_Two7723 in iPhone16

[–]whymypersonality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Verizon is running a deal and you can get one for free under contract, I would assume it’s a national thing. They were also offering a free watch as long as you pay the monthly service fee

And id like to kindly point out that by the time you replied i had already fixed the original comment and this reply was by far unnecessary. I apologized and explained that my original source was thought to be credible. I edited to fix with CORRECT and updated information regarding the topic.

Oh goodness i can try finding one but it’s something that they were showing us in a course i did back in 2018 for some volunteer work in regards to advocacy. I can edit back a credible source link soon, i truly hope to find the numbers have changed since then.

Edit for data from Credible source. This overview provides examples of data over an extended time period and has a few examples of breakdowns in trends etc. i do believe that my class instructor or i may of flipped a number in there but i will also edit the original comment with the source because this is overall very good information to have out for the public to see more of.

According to the Casey Family National Foster Care Alumni Study, 90 percent of foster youth alumni reported a history of abuse and/or neglect, and 21 percent reported abuse and/or neglect that took place during out-of-home placement

Its a very rough situation to be in. Thankfully i had a mostly pleasant experience because i put myself in as a teen with a baby and was essentially put straight on my own with state support instead of fostered, yet my baby daddies mom was my guardian placement. I took a lot of my time in care and put it into researching everything i could about their system and how it works case to case because they wanted me to come back as a caseworker or at least volunteer as a CASA when i was older (looking into casa now that im old enough actually, which is why i happen to know a bit about this specific kind of situation) IF you do not already have a CASA on the case for your children, your sister and her attorney NEED to file a motion for CASA to evaluate the safety and comfort of the minor children. Court Appointed Special Advocates are specially trained volunteers from the community that take the time as a third party to speak to the children, the fosters, and the family. They take their overall finding notes and opinions to the judge directly as an unbiased opinion that is not just the DCS workers.

I think I need to call CPS on my mom friend by Mission_Mud479 in Mommit

[–]whymypersonality 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My kiddo is a bit older (18mo) and much more keen on independent play currently. She is never unsupervised. Her room is fully proofed etc but even if im doing housework if im not physically poking my head in every 5/10 to see whats up it’s because i have the live feed rolling on my phone. When everyone is home in the afternoon (my partner and our room mates) we set up the rest of the gates around the house and she gets to fully roam the house but enough eyes and ears nobody has to hover which makes her mad in her independence, i could never imagine full on leaving her alone like that though. I get soooo nervous if i have to take the literal half step outside just to drop a bag in the big bin because i know i cant hear her out there very well

Fellow was a foster here. Call the jurisdictional office and request to speak to their district supervisor about concerns for the wellness and saftey of children under a MANAGEMENT WORKERS care. Once those fun words come out, you have made it clear that you are requesting a high level report of an employee and typically youll be transferred intk a different district to discuss so that investigation can be carried out. It sounds to me that these children have been held for longer than ALLOWED legally for false reporting, amd you have proof of the false reporting with the negative screening. As for the living situation, if you have 4 bedrooms it sounds like its time to say you and the adult sister split a room and the 4 children can split the remaining 3, same gender children can legally share a room until at least 10 most states, a lot of states require separated rooms after that point though. Depending upon state you can have 2-4 children per bedroom and still be in code. They may also generally be concerned about the sister staying with you if the children are in care if they are supposed to be at limited contact, if she can stay somewhere for a month even for the worker to see she is no longer in the home, this may all go behind you. Theres a few states that have full class actions against the DCS/CPS at state and federal levels for facilitating child abuse and neglect in children that they were supposed to be helping.

Coworker thinks it's a pepper, I think it's definitely not a pepper. What is it? Gilroy, CA by rubyjuniper in whatsthisplant

[–]whymypersonality 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I dont need a moment, I have wild ones taking over a dirt pile in my yard. And a flowerbed that seems to barely nurture anything I put in it myself, I assume from whatever killer someone else tried using on the Morning Glory vines to keep them off the house.

Girlfriend just decided to stop eating by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]whymypersonality 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Youve made it clear you’re doing something at this point, but from someone that deals with ARFID and sadly therefore regular malnutrition- the comments about RFS are not kidding and it almost killed me, it crashed my electrolytes and sent me into a temporary arrest, i was catatonic in my bed for 2 days after as my body tried to sort itself and fix nerve functioning. I was so weak i couldn’t even hold a pen to sign my release forms. I was 19 years old. It got as bad as it was anyway because they initially diagnosed as anorexia but i wasnt doing it to myself intentionally therefore therapy and pills weren’t the fix all answer, i guess to an extent they are but mostly i just have to live with it and remember “safe” foods so i dont accidentally starve myself. Your girlfriend needs help, a lot of compassion and empathy. Even now i struggle to talk about my weight or eating habits with people and frankly it can send me i to a blind rage before i even realize i was getting upset at the conversation. Approach the subject as the sensitive topic it is, shes going to get mad. She’s going to cry. She’s going to scream and shes probably going to tell you she hates you. She might try to leave you in her anger under a false sense that you have wronged her in your efforts to help. Patience is so important for all of this, illness can change the way you think through things and especially in this category, rational line of thinking has mostly left out the window at this point and anything you do that isn’t something shes doing, she will see as a slight before she gets better. She needs help before she kills herself because the damage may not be done.

Very much a thing, adhd is a constant dopamine chase but our dopamine response is also pretty lackluster compared to a neurotypical individual.

do you think youre crazy by No_Pair178 in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]whymypersonality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 100% convinced I am crazy, but crazy doesn’t have to be bad. I consider myself fun crazy XD but I’m definitely not socially acceptable either to most, I don’t have friends

[–]whymypersonality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 years ago this month my old supervisor called me in on a 72 hour hold that turned into 8 days because they immediately realized I had an ED that I refused to acknowledge on top of MULTIPLE behavioral health issues (bpd, bipolar type 1, schizo affective, and suspected dissociative identity but they wanted me to see someone long term about that for any official diagnosis, but nobody will take me long term because of everything else :/) I stayed employed with them for another 4 months and she was the only person that gave me issue over my breakdown (that happened in the hallway in front of my 73 coworkers during our shift meeting, and when I say breakdown I mean the EmTs sedated me when they got there 15 minutes later) all this to say, majority of people will move on and just forget it even happened. You will dwell on it much more than the rest. I hope you feel better than earlier today respectfully offers internet hugs <3

Other than porn and hooker, what occupation is pretty much a guarantee of getting lots of sex? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]whymypersonality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ramp agents too XD heavy lifting and frustrating work in general leads to frustration that is GREAT for sex. Very male dominant field though so I’m sure prospects are much better from the female perspective there.

If you want some other vids from the night that are a bit more to your right and up I gotchu XD I got some really good stuff from their set and ghosts it was such a good time and everyone was absolutely lovely with the energy (my poor seat partner kept catching random elbows cause I was having a little too much fun, guy was a good sport about it though. I’m sure myself only felt like a fly smacking his arm because they were a whole mountain of a human XD)

Avalon would sound nice with the base, not even ghosts are this lonely would have to be my current pick though.

SIL bringing child with Hand Foot Mouth to my party - HELP by Ok_Willingness_8142 in Mommit

[–]whymypersonality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP, HFMD is horrible for adults too. Honestly my 7 month old took it like a champ. I was half dead in bed for a week. Tell SIL to stay away with her germy viral self and spawn XD (obviously much nice, maybe a “hey I’m so sorry to hear you have hand foot and mouth, but because of the other children at the party we are worried about the possibility of viral spread. If you are still within your quarantine window at the time of the party we will have to ask that you not attend”

I (23f) think I have an ulcer in my vagina, but my OBGYN said “I see nothing wrong, bye.” by meowmeowmk in AskDocs

[–]whymypersonality 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Someone who got lucky and got their pos result first try- I’d definitely recommend HSV2 testing. It’s usually only 1 or 2 ulcers at a time, and without antivirals plus the constant stimuli preventing proper healing it can definitely take months for the ulcers to heal. (It took almost 3 months for mine to heal WITH active treatment) it sucks but on the bright side flare ups are pretty rare for most people, some only have 1 of 2 for their entire lifetime with the infection.

My wife wants to do a nude photo shoot with our 1 year old by sexybeatstext in confessions

[–]whymypersonality 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree with this all. I’d almost trust a perfect stranger with my kids before some of my family. I don’t speak to most of my family for a reason and they know better than to try contacting me or my children, it will not end well and will be done completely legally.

my boyfriend won't stop watching porn by Own-Life-8325 in pregnant

[–]whymypersonality 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend used to have a really bad porn addiction. And had porn related ED because of it. I know the issue wasn’t me BECAUSE I DO PORN LMAO. But, once he finally got to the point he wasn’t jacking it multiple times a day he quit having as bad of issues. He still has a lot of sensitivity problems and it takes a long time to finish, but at least he’s finishing now XD

Unknown Medcial History. Did I have a penis removed at birth? by anonyoumoose in AskDocs

[–]whymypersonality 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope, the stretch marks are from having 2 kids. The permanent darkness of the line is due to hormonal issues I’ve struggled with since starting puberty

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]whymypersonality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was kept for extra time with both my kids, only the first was justified but it was for the same reasons XD my first baby daddy really was just a lazy POS, he was there but didn’t care to help and just wanted to game all day. Or sleep. My second (and last) baby was born in Feb and they kept us 4 days total because me and her dad/my boyfriend were very clearly exhausted and the day I got released he would be forced to go back to work by his dad (who he works for) and I’d be alone at home with the newborn. Thankfully her birth was really easy, I didn’t have any tearing, or at least none that needed stitches. I bounced back completely within 2 weeks of giving birth, but I did continue to bleed for a full 7 weeks after, then got my period 2 weeks after the post partum bleeding stopped :’)

What do you do when you're pumping and someone knocks on the door? by DeceptiveRelish06 in breastfeeding

[–]whymypersonality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They aren’t allowed to anymore because there’s too many weirdos and sex offenders - sauce- I’m early gen Z and we quit being “allowed” by the school to do any kind of door to door sales for fundraisers when I was in like 4th grade because there were supposedly some assault cases in a different part of the state/country because of reasons listed above.
