#three seporate times

[dragonpyre]

Kind of a heavy thing to say, but after three separate people tell you you're the reason they didn't kill themselves, it kinda makes you feel responsible for keeping other people alive, too

desporation

i have sat up long ohers going over this  word    

i have been in desporat situations and have never done this to a person

my ex husband took my son out of my arms after he crawled threw a window

i know for a fact the following

i have never hurt my son i any way shap or form i do not beleave in corpal punishment  i use time out

i know i fisilitated my child happyness and relationship with his father

i know i provided a reasonably clean home for my child

i know i prepaired healthy daily meals for my child

i know i cared deeply about my childs education

i know i provided a safe inviroment for my child

i know i provided outside intervention for my childs disabilitys 

i know i paid all the bills in my home with my social security

i have never been convicted of a felloney

i havent even had a traffic ticket in 15 years

i have never been arested and the copes have never been called to my house for anything

these are my only crimes

friends in my homes

allowing a friend who had a falling out with his family stay in my home

i smoaked some marajuna  when my child wasent home  or only a little when a sober person was here to care for him

i drank alcohol when my child  was not home  or only a little when my son was home and a sober person was hear to care for him

i cheated on  a dead marrage that i was getting nothing out of 

i smoaked meth a fue times  never around my son and never when he was home 

i went into a great depression  for 8 months after i was seporated from my childern and not permitted contact with eathor of them   the only thing i cared about was gone   so i acted in a manor that anyperson would   i drounded in methdeath    but i was strong enough to quit   and  try  to fix my relationship with my children       how meny men in this country  have done the same thing

i have mental illnesses  that i had my intyre marrage and when i have trouble i put my self in the hospital      i go to tharapy for and take medication for this

what has been done to me

i have not been able to be a mother to my son for    1,125 days    thats over three years     its approxamatly 27,000 ohers   that my son has been led to beleave that i would hurt him  in some way   or thay he would get hurt at my house in some  way    none of the people i was associating with are around anymore

my visatation are suppervised by my exhusband who has been treating me horrably behind closed doors

i have been called every name in the book by my ex and his family

thay  attempted to erase me from my sons life   i was only able to see him 6 times in a 8 month period    when i did see my son thay had convinced him i didnt love him or want to see him  and that i was a horrable person thay had him ignoring me   not letting me  hugg him or return a i love you

when i got established  visatations thay only gave me 6 ohers a week suppervised by  his father    in the past  2 years and 4 months  i have only been permitted to spend about 730  ohers with him  but always on his fathers property and where his father can here our conversation    his father beleaved i could not change this   he is blatenly rude to me and calles me crazy when i question anything

he threw a fit when he found out my visatation were going to be moved

he did not let me have anything to do with the school

he does not let me partisapat in any aspect of my sons life

he does not want me to have access to my sons doctors

on the first day of my visatation he gave the people doing it about 10 packages of ground meat       this is   a conflict of intrest   and boy was he buddy buddying them

he has a desporate need to make people think  i  am a bad person  who needs suppervised visatation

i have fixed my relationship with my son  it is  actually stronger than it was when i locked   my exhusband out  and he toook my son

my son told the judge good things about me  i insisted he talk to the judge  you know not my word not  my exes word   sure as hell not  his moms

my ex husband is very desporat       he    is   hiding something       

on the day  i locked him out  i had asked a judge for a  anprotection order i told the judge he had become vary verbaly abuseive and it was becoming physical he was also commiting gross sexual impropriety

i was   not given the protection order    and that is why i locked him out 

our son slept in the bed with us    i took a very stron sleep med called Ambian

i was not given any marital assets during the divorce so i could obtain a attorney  

he is a very avoid lyer and blame shifter   trust me

He has done somethin far worse than i did     the proof is in his desporation

meny people have done very bad things to me  and i have never stooped to this i usually bitch and let things go

what ever he did i can assure you he has got rid of the evedence

what ever the criminality is    my  son  is the key to it

it may take years but       the pendulm will swing     carma will hit   

i think i got a good idea     and he should be afraid    that crime would make me look like a saint 

what ever it is        i   dont think    his parents   are  even awair of it

i have done nothing to justify this treatment

at first i thought it was all about protecting his money      

than i gave him time to get over him hating me

no     this is so much worse

but oppinions are like ass holes and we all got one its our right as americans

im glad i got my visatations moved away from such a desporat person   its kinda sceary   thay my son lives with him

i have   never been this desporat  in my life to keep two people apart  that could

talk about me   the one thing we  have in common is his father    who befor i tryed to get a protection order    wasent so desporat to keep us  apart   me and my daughter were alone with my son thay day i locked him out

the opinion outside his family and church   when i  ask people about him is he is weard

America.

In my elementary school, there was a very strict attendance policy. If you were sick you came to school or you got a doctor's note. If you threw up at home, you came to school so you could throw up at school and be sent home. Sick days were neither provided nor budgeted for, or maybe that was just my prospective as a person with shit parents...

Anyway, from this other post about schools and perfect attendance.

... If a singular louse was found on the grounds of my my elementary school, classes were semi-stopped for a day as every kid and adult went through louse checks one by one. Kids found to have lice were put on an immediate board-sanctioned homestay for a week and a half (that didn’t count against your perfect attendance record) and their parents were instructed on how to remove lice (including washing instructions for clothing and bedding; poorer families got delousing kits provided to them. Every kid coming back from home stay was to be certified louse free by the school nurse before they were let back into class). The school pulled no stops, I remember the lousebreak coat hangers: instead of hanging our coats next to each other in the classroom closet, they were hung on long racks in the hallways, socially distancing as it were. During a lousebreak during my four grade, one kid had the absolutely brilliant idea of selling lice to seed yourself with for a free week of homestay. The teachers caught on to that right quick and shut it down; but, even if you got infected by paying Tim five bucks, you still get infected and you went home for the full week and a half other punishments not withstanding. If you were family to an infected kid, you went home for three days rather than the full week, but you also needed to be certified louse free continuously until your infected family member was also back in school. In my five years at that elementary school, there were maybe seven seporate lice patient zeros; but despite having the makings of seven potential louse outbreaks, only about 120 or so people at the school ever contracted lice through the school during my entire time there, including the fourth and fifth graders that had paid Tim five bucks; that’s fewer than 21 people per outbreak in average, and this was not anywhere near the carrying capacity: with 360 students an unmitigated outbreak from a single patient zero would have infected a good 150~200 of us. But, the sum total infections from seven paitent zeros was less than the results of a single unmitigated outbreak.

Lice were, in my elementary school, treated more seriously as a disease than chicken pox at the time, and about as seriously as covid-19 shoulda been. I'm sure that my school was some kind of special exception in the extreme direction of the demonstrated cultural point, but it remains: when you find out you have lice in the US, you get that shit sorted as soon as you're able, and people will generally be much happier to help you sort it specifically than they would for any other affliction.

filipino here and i once came across a tiktok abt an american comforting others abt the prospect of having lice. which is MIND BOGGLING to me since filipinos literally pick lice out in the open during recess or even on the sidewalk. even hair stylists dgaf if u have lice

so anyway answer my poll

And the missing parts ordering menu on Lego.com/service, you have to enter each part you're requesting replacement for manually. There is no xN option where you can order 6 of 366628 cause they beefed it that badly, no you have to order 6 seporate singular instances of part 366628, and each time you have to go through the whole process of ordering the part, which is all told some 6-8 actions, per. part.

Same set, different set? Same Set. Bricks or Stickers? Bricks. Part Number? enter part number. (This is about three strokes as one step) Select part. Add another part? Rince and repeat

I wish I was fucking kidding, but no, the UX is really just that horrible. The one saving graces is that the company doesn't seem to make it any amount of difficult to get the parts you're looking for*

*as long as you've not been identified internally as a problem customer who asks for too many replacement parts within a short time frame.

My mother bought two lego sets to have me assemble them for her. Both sets were missing pieces. And not just one or two.

Betwixt both sets, there were a whopping 17 missing pieces. Whice is just, not okay.

This is the 2022 r/place canvas.

This was the second time the reddit company ran r/place; the original place was an 2017 April Fools Day event that ran for three days. The rules were simple: there was a 1000x1000 pixel canvas. Every five minutes you could change one pixel on the canvas to any color in the palette. Every other user could do the same.

The 2022 r/place was similar except

They expanded the color palette

The event was so popular and the people participating were so effecient at placing pixels compared to the 2017 run, that canvas ran out of space, twice. A million pixels weren't enough, and neither were two million.

Communities formed around changing the pixels to create art. Cultures were born, empires rose and fell, schisms fractured communities, (there are at least four seporate one piece factions, and two The Owl Houses), wars were fought and peace treaties were drafted, all over a short seventy-two hours. The history is as deep as it is brief.

Look upon this canvas. Some individual placed every pixel on this canvas. Some individuals placed pixels that didn't make it to the final canon. You could in theory, go to the canvas history and learn the name of every redditor who placed every pixel; you could trawl every subreddits that participated in r/place, every subreddit that was created specifically for r/place, every r/place twitch stream. It was only 72 hours; there's a finite amount of information, and you could in theory spend many years and routly memorize it all. But look upon this canvas.

Do you see the pixels or do you see the art? Do you see the individuals or are they subsumed into their context?

Look upon this canvas and behold humanity's primal urge to cooperate, to form community and together create wonderfully pointless things.

Individualism is a poison upon this earth.

Individualism is a poison upon this earth.

Why hello, Red Name,  cecaeliawitch 

Serial Killer: One who does a three or more murders, as seporate instances, typically with a consistant motive and a predictable behavior pattern.

She killed at least 50 people, as seporate instances, with a consistant motive, and a predictable behavior pattern (arsenic poison). She’s a serial killer. Are you really so daftly drunk on that “OwO women are pure creatures who can do no harm,” bullshit that you can’t comprehend the fact she killed people. Sure, she did it to rescue women from an abusive situation in which given the time period, there was likely no other way out: BUT, In the eternal words of brooklyn nine-nine, a show which I’ve never actually watched but which applies here frustratingly well:

Furthermore, you’ll notice that no one on this post is calling soldiers hero: That’s something you’ve injected into this conversation as a lite version of “OwO, all men are monsters incabable of goodness.” They’re calling Baba Anujka a hero for helping men dodge the draft that would have forced them to become killers for the benefit of the hegemony that holds their livelyhoods hostage. Theyr saying she helped men avoid being turned into monsters and that’s a good thing. 

I’d hazard to say no one on this post would say: “Put a gun in a mans hand and make him shoot hundreds of strangers and he’s a hero,” in a sincere context: you didn’t even say it sincerely.

In conclusion, fuck off

We have no choice but to stan a queen 💪❤️👑
