I’m okay in that I’m an adult and will never interact with that woman ever again if I have it my way. I’m not okay in that I’m an underemployed trans man in the south.

I have epilepsy and probably TD from the time when she had me knocked out for 2 weeks on Resperdal as punishment for telling on her (she’d get too fucked up on weed and oxy to remember to pick me up from school.) PTSD specifically related to mental health care makes it very difficult to get mental health care, even if I had insurance. EMDR would probably be best for long term help, but my therapist is worried that it would trigger me to the point that I couldn’t function. I wanted to move out of state to get away from my triggers, but right now really I’m just trying to hold on to my apartment.

I’ll be okay when the child torture facility that helped her do that is closed down. Weed and art and Star Wars are here to remind me that it isn’t all pain.

My mom took away my orthodontic care as a punishment when I was a teenager, so I ended up removing my own braces.

Remember teeth are luxury bones that you need a separate subscription for in the US.

More that these jobs do not pay enough to pay for the degree, or even enough to simply afford a place to live without a second job.

US millennials were told growing up that literally all you had to do was get a bachelors, because that’s how it worked in previous generations. We had to take out ridiculous loans to pay for this, because even in-state tuitions have been out of control for about two decades now. Now, the job market is shit (and really has been since we entered the job market.) It doesn’t matter how smart or capable you are. The US doesn’t want smart or capable right now.

I remember getting my first check as a teacher. When I calculated the amount of time I spent working, and my pay bump from being a fast food supervisor to yah know, a degreed professional expected to work 80+ hour weeks didn’t mean jack or shit, especially when I had to buy my own supplies.

It’s fucked up.

BUTTERY MALES!!!

Disable secureboot so you don’t have to run a few commands and restart in order to sign keys

Stay away from HP. Secureboot will re-enable itself whenever it wants, and the kernel panic is scary if you don’t realize that’s what’s happening.

Lol, here’s the original comment you were responding to for context:

Fun to think about, but American males are not ready for a strong female presence in their lives. They can’t handle it.

I would love for AOC to show the world her fire and Americans some grace. Not going to happen with the lot in America right now sadly.

You are a thin skinned centrist whiner with nothing of value to say. Which is why you don’t feel comfortable on lemmy - you have nothing of value to contribute.

You haven’t made an argument to engage with. All you have said so far is “lefties are meanies!” Mild criticism is “foaming at the mouth.”

I think your problem is that you aren’t here in good faith, and that stink comes through the computer monitor.

Oh wow, so you have no source other than “maybe the head of ICE said it.”

I’m sure the mother wanted her child with stage 4 cancer to not have medicine or access to his doctor, that makes so much sense.

You’re not even providing arguments to straw man bruv, you’re just sealioning here.

The mother who was deported took the child with her by choice.

Evidence?

So - this started as a John Bircher thing right?

I’ve just been befuddled at the purpose and the point of this conspiracy theory. I guess Alex Jones’s dad is a dentist (and a Bircher) but I doubt that dentists conspire for us to have bad teeth.

Just generic “I don’t like the gubmit”? Was it a Jewish person who suggested that we improve dental health on a population level? What’s the initial bit of skin or hair that this stupid booger coalesced around?

I guess these weirdos have always been around. We just didn’t put them in charge of health.

How about a four year old with stage four cancer?

That’s what Trump’s big legal battle with New York was about - lying about the value of a penthouse or something.

So much of these “rich” fuckers wealth is just bullshit on paper.

He’s been just outright “yeah this is fucked up and the Trump administration is violating the law but no one cares.” Not sane washing anything - constantly reminding us that this is not normal or legal or ethical. Everything he’s been doing for the last few months has been A+++++++++

Yeah no, ICE deported a four year old with stage four cancer.

If you support the felon rapist who’s spent every single decade of his life an entitled shit destroying as many fucking lives as he could…

Nah, if you voted for Trump that is the same in my book as supporting Hitler. Supporting Trump makes you a fascist, and there is only one cure for fascism.

How can you trust someone who doesn’t bleed for their country once a month?

Bypassing lawful procedure is not okay

Like how ICE is just straight up kidnapping citizens?

But above all, they hate the idea that autistic people be allowed to transition.

They can’t call trans men sex pests (well, they can. I’ve been called a rapist because I must “trick” gay men.) The narrative that trans men are a threat doesn’t really work. So instead, we are little lost autistic girls who don’t understand our own bodies enough/are engaging in something akin to self harm.

Where are you getting that he had an MD? Looks like his dad did.

In 2011, the Maryland Board of Physicians charged David Geier, who is not a physician and has only a bachelor’s degree, with illegally practicing medicine alongside his father, Mark Geier, a doctor who died last month. The two treated children with Lupron, a drug used to lower testosterone or estrogen levels in patients with prostate cancer, endometriosis and other diseases, along with chelation therapy, which leaches heavy metals from the body, as in lead poisoning.

Why isn’t the right having a meltdown? This guy gave autistic kids puberty blockers.

Do you have to have a certification? I’ve done some accounts payable type stuff before, I just don’t know how to approach that field.
