  • This reads like and hopefully is just rage bait.

    The language used into the post itself has so many red flags. You “forbid” her, you had to get to get on the ground. And after having a PTSD episode over sexual assault, when you tried to touch her she yelled, which is reasonable for a victim of sexual assault, and you retaliated instead of giving space.

    And if this is what you’re willing to recount, I can only imagine what wasn’t said may be even worse.

    If this was genuinely just a very misguided attempt at helping overcome trauma, you should probably see a counselor and perhaps arrange a group session with whoever she has been seeing, if she’s amicable to it.

    I will point out that, in the US at least, an official diagnosis isn’t required to get those meds. It’s just a lot easier to be prescribed them with it. I’m not officially diagnosed but I do see a psychiatrist who was willing to try them with no prompting from me.

    Ultimately though they didn’t work out because of the impact on my blood pressure, I’m on non-scheduled ADHD meds now that have made a huge difference.



  • Because there are alot of ignorant people in the world afraid of what they perceive as different.

    In your first two examples, regardless of not being politicians it’s clear that by helping put politicians in power they benefit, so whether they genuinely care or not, it’s just about money and lack of compassion to them. And continuing to drive class warfare continues to benefit them.

    In your last example, I think that person is just in the ignorant and afraid of change category with an unfortunate amount of exposure.





  • A VPN is still a good choice, in fact if you setup your own VPN on a VPS that is an even safer choice because then you (sorta) control the certificate used for encryption. True, your hosting provider could still obtain that cert if they really wanted to, and they still have the data on your IP using it and for how long / how much, but it would make obtaining your data a targeted attack.

    But there are cons to setting up your own, such as misconfiguration exposing you, or just the setup time in general.

    A VPN introduces a new party who can harvest your data. It doesn’t avoid IP tracking, it just shifts it from your ISP to another entity.

    You have to trust that your VPN provider’s claims of no logging/tracking are accurate, you can usually get fairly confident with research but it’s never 100%.

    Edit: to clarify, I’m not trying to dissuade VPN use. It’s a still a great choice.

    A not so funny story on a similar vein: roughly a week after my parent’s friends of a couple decades agreed to be named as our guardians, the husband announced, on April 1st, he was getting a divorce.

    It wasn’t a terrible joke, he just chose the most inappropriate time to announce it.

    He did get the raw end of that divorce in court though, the judge really didn’t like him after he brought his mistress to court.
