TIL the Spanish Inquisition only ended in 1834. Jfc.
There are sooooo many neurodivergent service members.
If you watch the whole video one of the ICE kidnappers was hispanic. The step dad (?) of the girl calls him out. Wild.
In addition to what other people have chimed in, the Salvation Army used to (might still? Last article was in 2014) not pay female workers directly. They would make out their paycheck to the worker's husband. Because women are property.
I've personally been affected by Salvation Army practices. See, they used to deliver toys to disadvantaged kids around the holidays but those toys come with strings. Not only did they show up to my house when my parents were clearly not home they literally dangled toys in front of me and my siblings I was babysitting and refused to give them to us unless we said we would accept Jesus.
We were not a Christian family. In fact at the time most of us were part of a different religion (my dad was always agnostic). They cornered a gaggle of known non-Christian minors when they were alone and vulnerable. They manipulated and forced me to say I accepted Jesus so that my siblings could have presents.
Fuck the Salvation Army.
Poor Colorado fed to the wolves
Works for Master's too. Until they show up and say "what if we did...." and expand your scope again.
That's so funny because I have to give a nebulizer to my grandma sometimes and we both hate the sound 🤣. It's so loud!
No judgment, I just didn't realize people found it soothing.
Yep. Sounds about right! Sucks, I'm sorry.
Not OP but I was diagnosed by being sent to a sleep specialist. I complained of fatigue to my PCP so they checked me for sleep apnea and during the initial meeting I described my schedule and what is typical for me. At the end of the questioning I said "yeah, I've suspected I have a sleep disorder or something" and she said "you definitely have delayed sleep phase disorder" and BOOM it was in my chart.
Easiest diagnosis ever. It helps if you keep a sleep log for a little bit. I can't guarantee the ease of your diagnosis but mine was just being honest instead of lying and pretending to have a normal day walker schedule.

I should have realized it when I was experimenting with friends but I had my first real inkling at 13. Tried opening up to someone who said "ew" which scared me into full denial for a good long time.
