  • Another case of ICE disappearing an American citizen

  • 911 dispatcher: A kidnapping? Those kidnappers need our help!

  • Senate Republicans cannot force US Postal Service to scrap EVs, parliamentarian says

    Jump

  • Well said. Thanks for writing this.

  • 700 troops have been mobilized to help ICE in raids in Florida, Louisiana and Texas

  • I feel sick watching it. As others have said, because of J6 and past accusations of fraud from the other side, it will be hard to discuss this with a lot of people without sounding insane.

  • Prosecutors say suspect targeted four Minnesota lawmakers during shooting spree

    Jump

  • From a different article:

    A New Hope police officer happened upon Boelter in his black SUV, which he had outfitted to look like a police cruiser, and thought he was another officer dispatched to the scene. When the officer tried to speak to him, he did not respond and drove away.

    I haven't read whether they pursued him after that, but that is absolutely wild.

  • Who is an actor you can't stand, but everyone likes?

    Jump

  • Jason Momoa. Can't act, plays every character the same, and can't seem to keep himself from smirking in every moment of screentime.

    Also Paul Dano. Someone else mentioned Leo's "imposter syndrome" and I would apply that to Dano also. I can't tell if he's acting too much or not enough, but he always feels out of place.

  • I'm with you. It's like going to college after being homeschooled your whole life. Of course you need to know logistical things like how to submit homework, but those are easy answers to find. You also need to know how the other kids talk and what they're talking about. It's hard being out of the loop in regular conversations.

  • Minnesota House speaker, her husband shot and killed in 'assassination'

    Jump

  • People tend to get activated once they feel they're personally being threatened. Voter suppression notwithstanding, I'm sure there are plenty of people who couldn't be bothered to vote but could definitely be bothered to physically defend themselves and their neighbors.

  • Anker is recalling over 1.1 million power banks due to fire risks

    Jump

  • I agree that this is a sickening amount of e-waste, and companies should be responsible for processing/recycling their own waste, but what's the alternative in this case? Mail the faulty batteries back to Anker?

  • David Hogg to exit Democratic National Committee after months of turmoil

    Jump

  • He's not giving up on politics, just the DNC. Which could turn out to be exactly the right move.

  • Oregon becomes first US state to ban private equity control of doctor and clinical practices

  • Now do pharmacies!

  • Senators Demand Meta Answer For AI Chatbots Posing as Licensed Therapists

    Jump

  • Oh I don't at all support what Meta has done, and I don't trust any company not to harm and exploit users. I was responding to your comment by saying that talking to a chatbot doesn't necessarily indicate that someone has "bigger problems." If they're not in a crisis, and they have reasonable expectations for the chatbot, I can see how it could be a helpful tool. If someone doesn't have access to a real therapist, and a chatbot helps them feel better in the meantime, I'm not going to gatekeep that experience.

  • I'm a real-life human therapist (honest!) and while I don't think it's a substitute for talking to a real person, I'm happy that some people get some benefit from chatbots. I had a client who used Rosebud Journal in between sessions and found it helpful. I tried out Rosebud myself and I was very impressed with how it replicated the basics like reflective listening and validation. It was even able to reframe my input using various therapy models when I requested it. I didn't use it for long because I'm not big on journaling, but I wouldn't dismiss it completely as a tool.

  • Karoline Levitt ditches religious necklace after Jon Stewart’s brutal joke: ‘Some sort of weird Pinocchio cross’

  • Yes.

  • I'm sure she was a model Christian before Trump got to her.

  • 30M After divorce I got literally zero support from anyone, why?

    Jump

  • I'd like to strongly challenge your third point. As others have said, there are many reasons people don't provide emotional support besides "they're not your friends." They might not know how to be supportive, they might be afraid of saying the wrong things and causing more hurt, they might have an avoidant attachment style with a deep fear of having others depend on them. We all have moments when we fail to show up for people we care about, and if we respond by ending those relationships, we'll be left without any at all.

    I'm not saying it's wrong for OP to end those friendships, and I think making new friends is usually a good move. I am saying that - when both parties are willing - being able to name and repair those hurts is part of having healthy relationships.

  • What's your favorite job interview hack?

  • If they ask about your weaknesses or growth areas, I've said something like this: "I like to ask questions about how my work fits into the bigger picture. Sometimes this can seem like I don't want to do the work, but I just want to make sure I understand it first." It's a strength disguised as a weakness and I think I've gotten a good response to it.
