  • Is it okay/normal to say mean things to someone's face because they rejected you?

    Jump

  • Definitely not okay. And it depends on your definition of “normal”. Is it common? Somewhat. Going as far as to say “kill yourself” usually isn’t part of it but insulting someone after being rejected isn’t rare. It depends a bit on the age.

    TIL: The United States Has 10x More Serial Killers Than Any Other Country on Earth

    Jump

  • Yeah… there are a lot of issues here. Serial killer vs spree killing, the use of IQ (where the hell would they get that?), and so many other weird things that you highlighted

    And yeah, to your last point… the USA is definitely an outlier on inequality but you can’t compare “margins” like that lol

  • I inherited a fish over a year ago and now I’m obsessed with aquatic animals. Aquatic snails are super cool and I’ve started breeding them to resell. Y’know, until next year when I find something cooler. Love that ADHD life

  • As a mod of a huge community, I cannot tell you how often someone said “Jews did x,” then called it censorship when we deleted it. If you criticize Israel, you’re fine. If you says “Jews,” but mean “Israel,” you’re probably not.

    Meanwhile, we have lively discussions behind the scenes to prevent censorship. Users don’t really care though, they just want to complain and assume every mod action is an attack on users.

  • For the latter part, it very much depends on the state and the disability.

    In terms of helping, there are a few scenarios. First, forced psychiatric hospitalization. Suddenly, it’s no longer a “secret” problem with the brother. It’s known and he’d have a record in a court system and medical records. Extremely unlikely, but not impossible, is removing OP to a stable program. People with disabilities who have confirmed cases of abuse jump to the top of those waitlists. There are also many “light” versions of those scenarios that still make things, even slightly, better.

    Jump

  • You’d be surprised at the number of times I thought it would be obvious and it wasn’t. In fact, it seemed pretty rare that people could figure it out. And even when they did, it was just their hunch, you can never know for sure who reported you.

    Come on, it’s just moving, what could it cost? All your friends and possessions? $10?

    Jump

  • Any therapist or licensed professional (doctor, social workers, etc) will have to report something if it’s a credible threat to someone’s life. If your brother has homicidal ideations and makes threats, an investigation might not be terrible. Unless he literally never leaves the house and you are the only person that would know he’s ever made a threat, then your family will probably never know that you have anything to do with this. Strangers call the cops when they hear shit. If he’s loud, it could be a neighbor. Unless he’s agoraphobic, it could be anyone in your town who reported something weird.

  • “Why can’t you just leave and buy a house or something” is the most Lucille Bluth question ever. You didn’t have to dignify such a stupid question with an answer. This isn’t your fault.

  • As someone who was a mandated reporter and made a sad amount of reports, the investigators aren’t idiots. They don’t knock on your door and say “hi, your kid reported that you hit them!” They know the risk and it is literally their entire life/job to avoid making situations worse.

  • It’s not. It’s off topic and should be deleted

    Edit: can we please stop upvoting everything that insults Reddit? If you are defined by hating your ex, you need a new personality.
