  • Depends on the type of therapist approach. If it’s the type that is about CBT and thinking you need to change it won’t work just like it doesn’t work on neurodivergents. If it’s internal family systems or ACT it can absolutely help because it acknowledges those issues and validates what’s happening without trying to change you. You learn skills to accept it and ride it out vs suppressing and forcing change.



  • Where does your 10% come from? Of those that voted, he got 49%ish of the vote. Those that didn’t vote effectively made the statement they didn’t care one way or another.

    Looking at it another way, the GOP controls both sides of Congress. One of those sides is the House of Representatives because they represent you. In all this nonsense, in whatever that “state of the union/campaign” was, those “representatives” cheered and voted with him. By extension, the people they represent.

    Whether we want to admit it or not, it is far closer to half the country then 10%. If nothing else, it’s half the country that felt like having a say.









  • From the area. The issue is state funding for transportation is down 84%. As a result what was 950+ bus routes for 96k students has been shortened to 550ish routes this year. It is a combination of drivers leaving for other jobs to no money to incentivise people who can work at the major ups here for double/triple the pay.

    The smaller amount of routes for the same population means they had to do something different. This year they used an AI routing program to “optimize” the transportation which has led to longer routes (thus more variables), the crazy amount of start times, and busses having to hit multiple schools in a single run (3-4 on avg). The district is telling us they didn’t configure the AI properly while the drivers are saying during practice runs the last couple days, with zero kids on board, they haven’t been able to be within an hour to 90 minutes of their final mark.

    There’s a lot more fine details leading to this but it’s all become one big cluster. School is already cancelled Monday and Tuesday also and there was a distinct lack of staying Wednesday+ wasn’t off the table.

    Oh … Because of money and federal regulations they don’t have gps. The drivers literally have something printed out like the days of MapQuest.

    Anyways just wanted to clear up some stuff.
