Just a coyote which has fallen into your pool - trying to figure out what is going on around here. Alternative housing, historical cooking, covid is not over.
@sta63221298 @fishslurp2 @rabidblackcat I don't think I can think of anyone except the ABA professionals, and the animal trainers whose experience is related enough to provide background would have this nuanced an understanding of the subject.
@chingonasupreme @rabidblackcat Fair. It's definitely common for people to have a poor understanding of all this advice and go galloping off in their own directions. (Speaking of the parents.) And end up using very reasonable advice to justify things like the OP is talking about.
@mfweof @rabidblackcat Sounds like she was trying to tell them quite clearly, and they absorbed what she said enough to respond 'this isn't a real need', so it doesn't really matter how weird her needs were. They knew. She told them.
@TELUS Hey, I just received amazing service from Leanne, at your Bracebridge ON (Canada) branch and wanted to let you know that she is helpful and went above and beyond in a sensitive time (the passing of my husband.) 10/10 service.
@juliahosack@1goodtern Such an intense emotional issue with wearing just a small High tech garment that prevents you ever having to take sick time off work (we all like money!) Sounds like an issue she should look into. Sounds like she has a lot of fear on her mind.
@lavivianaleyva@1goodtern It floors me when people go so hard anti mask that they won't wear masks in situations where they previously would have. My husband is terminally ill and asks visitors to mask, for even a common cold. His friend won't mask and threw an actual tantrum in the hallway.
@gravybish Out of curiosity, is their lack of consideration related only to this category, or has it shown up elsewhere in your relationship?
I ask because the person who I am thinking of in my life has demonstrated a similar lack of care in other ways as well and it breaks my heart.
@andevers@Target It's extremely concerning that something so ridiculous (it's a totally normal bathing suit guys....) has gotten enough backing to make a major outlet pull products to not make waves. Every time the bad behavior is rewarded by corporations, the behavior is reinforced.
@lizduffy22 For someone who feels alienated for whatever reason, these conspiracies are instant community. Suddenly they are welcome and special. They feel smart, and knowledgeable. Their failures are explained by the government or big pharma. It's very comfortable.
@lizduffy22 Last year I spent time wandering the Canadian Convoy Occupation. What struck me was the feeling of community, and how strangers were made to feel welcome. Luckily I was sufficiently terrified by the transphobic and homophobic rhetoric on their signs to fall for any of it.. (1/2)
@lizduffy22 Vaccine hesitancy requires time with patients, relationship-building, and trust. It does NOT fit with the current model that is pushing doctors to see more patients faster and simply dispense drugs like vending machines.
(Granted, most doctors also hate this model.)
@CZEdwards This is very concerning. As a youth I hoped to live through 'interesting times'. I take it back! I was wrong! I want my Sci fi to remain fiction!
@KeetyAlexx @CZEdwards Me too! I have no doubt had ADHD my whole life but I wad able to limp along and mask, but after covid, WOMP. I could not function. Am now diagnosed properly and omg is this how everyone else was functioning all this time??
@FurnessColin I am definitely in the high trust in science, medium trust in government. I masked before it was mandated because the science made sense, and continue because it only makes more sense as time goes on.
