    Dude, not really OK dropping slurs when you’re not really read up on this.

    The data itself is highly questionable.

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/fact-check-posts-claiming-40-110000305.html

    In sum, an extensive search found that the two studies originating in the early 1990s were the only ones that shared a “40%” statistic purporting to reveal how many police officers admitted to being violent toward their partners. The Neidig study’s results muddied the issue by including abuse perpetrated by the officers’ spouses. The Johnson study applied an overly vague definition of violence.

    Cops are bad, but bad data is also bad.

    From what we saw in the Canadian teen: It’s only a mutation away from ripping through humans in a real bad way. It picked up the mutation it needed to switch from preferring the alpha 2,3 receptor plentiful in birds to the alpha 2,6 sialic acids that are plentiful in the human nose, throat and lungs when the teen was infected. That teen then developed ARDS and she needed to be intubated.

    Speaking from my own personal mental health journey: Those bits of advice that didn’t work 5 years ago may work now. I couldn’t use mindfulness while my ADHD/C-PTSD was at its peak, but after working on a few other things, suddenly it became a useful tool even if I couldn’t use it for years and years. The advice was still good, but refusing to return to a tool because it didn’t immediately work in the past and getting frustrated and letting that frustration turn to anger doesn’t get me what I am looking for.




  • Language is intended to convey content. Are you unable to understand what she said and need an adult to explain to you what she meant? While the wording could be less ambiguous, it does not detract from what she was trying to convey. She wasn’t posting a CV, and trying to dismiss her like this feels like you’re trying to come up with any reason to invalidate what she is saying.
