@Banderwockey@MadamSavvy I'm convinced some people are missing the parental instinct.
About 20 years ago, I heard a woman on TV say she told her child would be sad if she died but she'd get over it. Women in the audience were shocked, but the woman acted like it was reasonable.
@BiggestComeback Due to get out of hospital next week, about 7 months after being crushed. Shattered left femur, snapped right, 2 broken ribs, broken collarbone, and spinal fracture, not to mention the lacerations.
Anyway, I too have crazy ideas about gaining strength & muscle!
@CynicalPublius And the road to get there?
Someone will need to invest a lot to get to that point, to then give it all away for free?
And who gets it first? It won't happen in an instant. Who chooses who's most deserving to be front of the line? What will those tired of waiting do?
@wagslane "They" can be confusing in certain contexts.
"Bob invites their friends to a party, but they cancelled."
Whose friends?
Who cancelled?
I reluctantly accept "there's lots of people here" as it's now common and comprehensible. But some uses of "they" can be really confusing.
@xwanyex Before having kids, I could watch a documentary about a sick kid and think, that's sad, and feel a bit bummed. After having kids, I could barely hold it together.
I had no idea it would change me so much.
@MentisWave One clip I saw, she moved like an adult woman playing girly, not like a real kid... gave me an uncomfortable, uncanny valley feeling.
Of course, it's just because of the less-than-stellar acting, and I don't see it as sexual... because I'm sane.
@DrJosefWD When I developed akithisia, I thought it was anxiety: tense, restless at night. Later, the shaking was almost impossible to stop. Luckily, it faded after changing medication, but that also sent me into withdrawal: severe shaking (not like akithisia), sweating, vomiting.
@BrandonJourney2@FDA_Drug_Info Seems like you've got a severe case. Hope you find relief, and soon.
I know what it feels like, but was fortunate it was not that severe. It came on slowly, and went away when I changed meds... though that sent me into immediate withdrawal.
@MikhailaFuller Akithisia sucks, and I only had it for a short time. But it wasn't from psych meds in my case, but painkillers. Soon as I switched, akithisia faded... but I immediately went into withdrawal. Again, it didn't last long, luckily.
I feel for anyone going through this long-term.
@TiffaniMarie483 Personality types can be disorders.
A disorder is a persistent condition that impacts ability to function: emotion, relationships, ability to work, etc.
Take any of the Big 5 traits to the extreme, and you get disordered personalities.
@CedricBts@CoachDanGo Working at a factory, not being able to stomach breakfast but needing energy, I would prepare protein shakes the night before, drink one on the way to work, and the other during break. Getting calories in liquid form can help if you struggle to get enough.
@CoachDanGo Plus, for me, I
-don't often feel hungry
-get full quickly
-if hungry at night, just sleep
-can't sleep if I eat late at night
-get an upset stomach if I overeat
But I can happily binge on junk and sugar, so I avoid buying it.
@KatKanada_TM DON'T TRY.
You can numb them temporarily, but they just grow, become toxic, & eventually escape containment spectacularly.
Better to feel them now, no matter how painful.
Take care not to allow yourself to become mired in them.
With support and time, you'll get through it.
@shakoistsLog Success filters out the lazy, the low-IQ, & the unstable. In poor areas, the most dysfunctional families are not filtered out. However, kindness is not a success filter. I've taught wealthy, smart kids... some, vicious bullies.
Culture > rankings
@howie_hua It's understandable that, without context, this is confusing. As a parent, ask your kid what "make ten" means. If your kid can't explain or give an example, either the kid or the teacher messed up badly. However, the teacher is ultimately responsible for the kid getting it.
