The lady from Ct made me laugh “I didn’t expect it to be 100 at night”…lady you moved there for the weather.

Maybe infinite growth doesn’t need to be the goal.
Just mentioning this because I see all the others: spicy food. Your brain makes happy chemicals to help with the pain, apparently.
Long ago when I lived in Florida there was a lady who shot her husband for eating the last fried pork chop. I tried to find it online but there are a variety of similar stories and it was before everything was online.
Yeah there’s no place for a gun in a school. Even on the best days staff are all over the place. It’s a bit of organized chaos, ya know. And some schools are really small. So if someone comes in the front door your chances of getting to safer spot are slim. My last one was literally a hallway and booking it out the back door was our crisis plan (like I said, death trap).
Hey, specifically to address the hide question and no other part of the conversation: I’ve worked in a lot of schools. So, in many classrooms, it’s absolutely impossible to hide effectively. I told my last room if something real happened we just needed to take our kids and run. It was a death trap in a shooter situation. Some examples would be doors in-between rooms, doors that don’t lock, doors that do lock with glass panes, outside doors that were mostly glass. Single-exits with no locking doors and no windows so you’d be trapped. I hate having to think like this. Certain rooms are insanely vulnerable. I’ve consulted in a middle school that was like a fortress too. But all the elementary schools were pretty much the same.
Ah yes, taking us back to 1873.
Yeah nice garbage opinion. Upvote!
Super true. Just even having a break while you save up for deposits into a place is huge.
I’ve gave up. Now it’s just racing the clock to make sure I get something for my kids to live in. Even if it’s a bit of a commute.
I periodically remind my children that if someone approaches them talking about god that they’re lunatics and to find another adult immediately.
I don’t have any friends who haven’t been at least assaulted. Mine happened when I was sleeping in my own goddamn room in my own apartment years ago.
Hmm. I work in a high stress field. As in, behavioral modification. I get hit a lot. It does impact me over time. So what I do to manage my emotions is taking the time to take it easy on myself. I make that space. One hour after work every day (not counting the drive) where I am just alone with my thoughts and doomscrolling before I let anyone else place any demands on me (myself included). You sound a little bit like me before I burned out originally a few years ago and put some boundaries in place where self-care is concerned. That one hour did wonders.
I owe more with each payment. One more year and I’ll have a salary decent enough to knock them off but it’s still…very depressing.
The only community there I miss even a little is the metalcore community. Even then, having stepped back a little I can see the post quality is not always that great. The same news/social content is regurgitated on Imgur.
“You’re still upset about that?”

Something new every day. Create. Spend time with my children. Volunteer my time and knowledge.
Situational.
First, if it’s directed at me, I do not engage. Like, at all. If someone is trying to get my attention with shitty behavior, they’re not getting it. If it’s the guy on my discord meme channel who posts incel memes, I really have do have to remind myself not to engage. That one is harder, because I feel like they’re taking away from the quality of the space, I don’t want them in my orbit AT ALL, but they are part of the greater community, and this channel sort of quarantines their brain vomit. So again, I never engage with them, but I deliberately engage with other posters and community members who are productive and positive. In the short term, it’s not rewarding, but in the long term I do feel much better about myself. And finally, sometimes I really do need to step away–maybe it’s into another game, another community, etc. Sometimes I do need to take a break, seek other forms of entertainment and reinforcement. The main thing is not to continuously expose yourself to things that are aversive to you and just stress and stress. You have to break it somehow.
In the past messaging on this has been so poor on this topic. To the point where people don’t even really understand how common a medical abortion is, or that they’re now essentially illegal, risk factors from being denied care due to these laws, etc. They’ve let the gop take the baby killer ball and run with it for years. So now we’ve got a lot of ground to make up educationally…are bare minimum. And I think once we get to that place support will be near universal.
