    Third Party Candidates- Upcoming US Election

    I do know that is a big factor in why we have a two party system. But how slow is slow? Wouldn’t it be worth it to actually have all perspectives (or at least more) represented? But then maybe it’s too slow and so two party is better. But then we get stuck in situations like this. I don’t know...

    Third Party Candidates- Upcoming US Election

    Thank you all for the awesome insight! It’s been super interesting to learn. I wish there was a more equal playing ground for more candidates to have opportunity in future and past elections.

    Third Party Candidates- Upcoming US Election

    How does this even happen? Do they just not attempt to convince a particular state or the state just decides for its people to not even give them (the people) a choice?

    Third Party Candidates- Upcoming US Election

    Unfortunately no I haven’t but I was hoping someone older might remember. The problem is Harris isn’t any better, and frankly no one is any good. Which is why I’m hoping people who have paid more attention will have more insight on the third party process/candidates/chances. I’m trying to...

    Third Party Candidates- Upcoming US Election

    Does anyone know much about any of the third party candidates? The good, and the bad? Is there even a remote possibility that any one of them could win?

    How do you even begin to vote when one is a rapist and the other is a pedophile?

    Reminders of adulthood - Anyone else have a therapist that often reminds you?

    This is exactly how it happens with mine. My therapist pretty often reminds me that I’m an adult now. It’s done as a way to have me take ownership of my choices and remember that I do get to have choices now. I don’t have to do the status quo, I have the ability to change it.

    Feeling the need to cry within a dream is a weird sensation. Dreamt I was with some family on Halloween and watching their four year old experience walking down a fully decorated and exciting street for the first time that they can really understand and experience it and my dream brain loved...

    High School Kids - Teachers, How Do You Get Kids To Participate?

    45 minute classes and I have quite a bit of freedom to the computers/whiteboard/etc. only real thing I can’t do is incentivize grades or assignments (like letting them get a freebie).

    High School Kids - Teachers, How Do You Get Kids To Participate?

    It’s a super cool activity too where you be the president and determine how to solve different problems that arose during the depression, how to fund your decision, and what kind of criticism would arise.

    High School Kids - Teachers, How Do You Get Kids To Participate?

    I know this has zero to do with PTSD so forgive me, I stuck it in Social and I hope that’s right. For those that are current/former high school teachers or similar- How do you get the kids to participate in class? I get it, I absolutely get social anxiety. But Jesus they won’t even work for...

    Oh mania, how I’ve missed you my productive friend. I got soooo much done today, yard work, spent a moment clearing out things from an outdoor shed, cleaned the kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, and front porch. Wrote 1,242 words, and painted! But now I’m pure exhausted and have work...

    I managed to get some things done over the last couple of days. Not all chores, some is more play, but it’s things other than laying in bed and sleeping some more. I bought a new pool for the dogs (just one of the little ones but in summer heat it’s invaluable). I amended a family members taxes...

    That’s EXACTLY what happens. During and immediately after, I’m usually in love with whatever, I really like it and feel proud. And then ya, I proudly shove it around to different places and when it’s not matched with the same feeling I initially had I do start that whole negative cycle and end...

    What is this magical thing and how does it work? Basically my self esteem currently rests on people giving me a pat on the back and I’d like to not be that way because I’m finding it’s not very sustainable and in fact worsens my self esteem even more. How do I know if I’m making the right...
