Most women have long hair. Long here requires more maintenance. It’s that simple.

Stop making pseudoscientific excuses about chemicals to reinforce your own views on gender.

For all intensive purposes, the meaning of words matters less than how we use it. Irregardless of how we decimate it’s meaning, so long as we get the point across there is no need to nip it in the butt. Most people could care less.

Everyone pees. But it’s not normal if you have to pee 20 times a day.

This is what I tell every person who believes that people are pathologizing normal behavior into autism. If it doesn’t significantly impact your life, if it’s only one or two traits, then it’s not autism.

I had meltdown episodes as a child when anyone attempted to dress me in anything that had a seam that could be felt, edges of Velcro, clothing tags, untucked shirts and the sensory nightmares of cold buttons on my pants, dresses without shorts under, etc.

As an adult, I still can’t wear normal bras, clothing that isn’t soft, most jeans which have stiff seams on the waist, and so many materials that itch the hell out of me.

To this day, I have had friends treat me like a brainwashed social media nut for even suggesting that I may have autism. All while I’m going to the movie theater with non-polarized shades and ear plugs.

I like how you have no issues with everyone else presuming OP’s gender given the prevalence of heterosexuality, but as soon as a woman does it in a majority male forum like Lemmy, you start mentally breaking down.

I hope you overcome your incel tendencies, learn to stop grasping at straws, and accept that what ever hate you have towards women is unfounded and a product of your delusions.

You’re simpler than you think you are. Explosive temper in your response, grasping at straws and deflecting, calling women bitchy on a stranger’s word.

Some therapy could help with that. Feel sorry for yourself first before feeling sorry for others.

People don’t generally set ultimatums unless it’s something that has been bothering them for a long time and hasn’t been addressed.

The way you call OP’s girlfriend ‘bitchy and entitled’ just reeks of misogyny when she never got to tell her side of the story. People like you should be setting aside your own biases and ask if OP is a reliable narrator, instead of taking everything at face value because a man’s word is more trustworthy than his account of a woman’s word to you.

How do you know she’s the main tenant and not on a sublease? How do you know what OP means when he said his GF ‘gave’ him one afternoon? If he doesn’t get it fixed, she’ll do what? Stop coming over? Stop sharing finances? Break up?

So many unasked questions and yet everyone is quick to assume that the GF is insane. I wonder why that is.a

ITT: People telling OP to break up with her because we are absolutely certain that she is crazy and only gave him one afternoon to fix this, and there is no way she could have been losing sleep for days or weeks while asking him to do something about it, like hold the landlord accountable.

It’s more like a bunch of paraplegic people asking you if they can borrow your wheelchair because doctors will not acknowledge their need for one and dismiss their symptoms as drug seeking behavior.

Speaking as a woman who only got diagnosed in my late 20s after years of needless suffering. Boys are 3 times more likely to be diagnosed than girls because our current ADHD assessments are based on studies from decades ago that were only done on boys. Girls are socialized differently as children and thus present different symptoms. Behavior that is excused in boys for having ADHD, like not being able to sit still or running around yelling a lot, is punished as ‘un-girly behavior’ and internalized as a failure to adhere to gender roles in girls, hence why girls are conditioned to mask better at a young age, at the expense of their own mental health the longer they continue to mask.

This is the other side of the coin from the social media backlash against women coming out with ADHD whilst the internet dismisses them for faking ADHD and being attention whores. Women are punished, not rewarded, for masking their ADHD. The more effort we put into masking, the more people assume we are neurotypical, and the more we are criticized for ADHD symptoms we are unable to mask because we are held to the same standards as neurotypicals.

What’s wrong with pumpkin spice?

The brevity of police training program is definitely a major contributor.

While there are mental health programs present, the stigma of mental health has rendered many of them unused. Police surveyed in North Dakota found that an overwhelming majority will not disclose their mental health issues to their colleagues or supervisors, most expect to be discriminated if they do, and see mental health issues as a personal failure.

Of the services provided, only debriefings and weight rooms saw significant use. Outside of that, few used therapy, peer support groups, mental health checks, and resilience therapy.

That’s a good point. Conservatives often excuse the abuse of power because the scope of police work demands it, without acknowledging that there are non-police alternatives that are likelier to descalate a situation.

I think this ties into their inability to acknowledge mental health as a real and treatable issue. Perhaps because doing so would require acknowledging their own while being inhibited by the shame and cultural conditioning they grew up with.

It is horrifying for so many to fail their psych exam. However, I would also question if this is the most effective approach to better policing outcomes.

Psych exams in volatile workplaces are contradictory due to self reported elements in the exam. In aviation, there is a phenomenon where pilots historically masked mental health issues because a diagnosis was a death sentence to their careers. Paradoxically, acknowledging and allowing pilots to fly with these issues while being medicated has led to better outcomes.

The police who answered truthfully in the exam were fired, but that begs the question of whether the remainder were mentally sound or simply knew how to mask themselves in the psych exam.

No, I am speaking about the police specifically.

The advancements being made to mental health care in the military are meaningful, and the reduction of homeless veteran through housing programs speaks to the progress and recognition of difficulties in reintegrating into civilian life.

Why does the universe need to be known?

What makes ‘us’ so special that the worth of a whole universe is determined by our existence, inspite of the brevity of human history? Written history has only been around for 5,000. The oldest homo sapiens has only been around for 300,000 years. Was the universe insignificant for the rest of its 13,799,700,000 years?

Not having consciousness might be the best thing that could happen to a universe. Just everything existing, without desire or suffering.

With a universe that peaceful, there might as well not be us.

The idea that eating IUDs causes pain is a myth and any frog who says otherwise is just being hysterical.

High rises give way to urban density and walkable neighborhoods. Any costs in maintenance is easily offset by freeing hundreds of people from the costs of car ownership, medical costs due to sedentary lifestyles in unwalkable suburbs, provide more affordable and accessible community funded childcare, better access to healthy foods than in food deserts enforced by zoning, and reduction in homelessness related crimes.

Nothing is more socially isolating than car-centric suburban hell where anyone too young or too old to drive are deemed ineligible to leave their house independently and participate in society. Nothing creates anti-social behavior like forcing homelessness and desperation onto people who cannot afford to live in cities that are lacking in affordable public housing.

Speaking as someone who has lived in both urban highrise public housing and suburban hells in different parts of the world, the most socially isolating experience by far has been living in car-depedent suburbs with piss poor public transit, especially as someone who cannot drive often. Every will eventually become disabled and cannot drive. It’s just a matter of when. When that time comes, you better hope you can afford a retirement home or to have someone drive you, because if you can’t, you’re stuck right where you are. And that times sooner the less walking you find the time to do in a day.

High density housing bad and dystopian. Homelessness good. Now build more single family homes with lawns pls. /s

Roblox is literally actively shutting down anti-pedophilia efforts.
