  • Sounds like a disorder relating to MPD, but it could be any number of things. My advice is to be supportive as much as you can be, when ones own mind is the issue it just feels impossible to deal with.

    Not all disorders are ones that will affect work in “predictable” ways, everyone is different. They might just like practicing dialects and not have particularly strong social and coping skills.

    As difficult as it can be to interact with people like that, keep in mind their perspective: it might feel like everyone wants to alienate them which makes it difficult to interact without that assumption tainting the experience.


  • I work in a grocery store, and while I would still need to be in about 25-30 hours a week to ensure product is on the shelves a massive amount of my time at work is useless facing and looking busy after the first few hours of real work restocking. If I was paid fairly I could come in for about 3 hours every day and have everything that needed done done without spinning on a thumb all day just to barely make rent.

    No, it means they specifically did not hear anything, not that it isn’t happening. The president of the University of Wyoming made multiple statements, all under oath, that ended up being in direct support of hate speech and harassment of transgender persons just a couple months ago. I am actively watching and hearing hate speech on campus, and the college president encourages it as free speech. There is no doubt in my mind the Columbia president is trying to pull similar optics in defence of these atrocities, I have been witnessing college presidents do the same thing in Wyoming for close to a decade now.


  • There are some nice perks to good credit outside of interest. It can qualify you for better housing, better perks on certain rentals, not having to worry about emergency situations killing your savings outright, and let’s you take advantage of stuff like cash back and bulk purchasing discounts. An example is staple foods, being able to hit the once-a-year bulk deals on stuff like rice or Lawreys garlic salt can cut the price of those items in half or better (personal examples, but the thought should hold). Ancillary perks, but they do add up.

    I haven’t heard an argument against them that isn’t based in hatred and bigotry. It’s a flag that signifies the acceptance of people being able to express love to each other in more ways than one. The flag, while generally rooted in definitions surrounding sexuality, is not a symbol of sex. The flag isn’t encouraging sexuality whatsoever, it signifies a culture of acceptance of people regardless of how they think or feel. Fighting to have it removed is just fighting against accepting people as they are, which is a quality that is also common to bigots, racists, homophobes, and Nazis. It isn’t okay to just start calling people names because of an opinion, but I can see how the conclusion could be made as a knee-jerk reaction to someone wanting to ban the flag.
