There is a story about people waiting in line somewhere and a woman is on her phone speaking a different language than English. She hangs up and the guy in front of her turns around and says "You're in America you need to learn English!" She looks at him and says "I was speaking Cherokee. If you want to speak English go back to England."

That kid whose parents never registered their birth needs to go to the police. Either the parents didn't register the birth, which is a crime, or they did and they're lying about it and withholding ID, which is a crime. Either way, the kid is a victim of crime and the local police office is the place to go to get help.

That might just cause him more problems. I get from the post that he is underaged and still dependent on his parents, we don't know much about his parents but we can assume they're not very rational so going to the police might make his situation worse if he loses whatever support he has right now. I think going to a local school and trying to contact a social worker who can get his paperwork started was good advice.

For the tattoo one... this is why your tattoo artist should ALWAYS unseal the a brand new needle and install it in the gun in front of you before they start working on you. If an artist refuses to do that, you should walk out.

I don't know about other countries (I should hope so) but where I live we have to get an official title to be able to tattoo (officially), so if you see something fishy like that report to the police.

Regarding that woman at 35:30, my mother told me a story that kinda affected her deeply: she had a workmate that had a daughter that was ab*sed by her husband. One day, her daughter came to her door, full of bruises, begging to stay with her parents. Her mother turned her down and shooed her away, saying that "she's embarrassing her and that what she's doing with her husband is her problem". After some time, that poor woman was beaten to de*th by her husband. My mother used this story to tell me that no matter what happens, I am always welcomed back in my parent's house.

All of the worst experiences I've had at the gynecologist were all at the hands of female doctors who were absolutely certain my body would work exactly the same way their bodies did. Expressing pain, discomfort, and confusion just to be told something like "doesn't hurt when I get one, so it doesn't hurt you either". Having older women blatantly shame, side eye, and humiliate me in front of their med students is so awful. Female doctors, especially in feminine care positions, can be the most cruel, judgmental, and rude doctors sometimes. My current gyno is a man. And he is the best gyno in this area. I had to have a massive cyst removed from my cervix and I have a severe fear of hospitals to begin with. That man did everything in his power to help me get through it. And even let me look at the cyst at the end when I woke up so he could show me what happened and why. I am so thankful for his help in saving my life and my ability to give birth. Gender is not a qualification. You want a female doctor? More people to you. Do what makes you comfortable. But if I were to refuse to see my gyno based solely on him being male I'd be stuck with my first gyno. And I swear she must get off on torturing young women.

[@susannairisastarte5192]

I had a horrible male gynecologist many years ago. He insisted he wasn't hurting me when he WAS. Never again.

[@justalittleturtle5600]

I guess what we learned today is that horrible people don’t have a set gender. *✨Nastiness is genderless✨.* Just do what makes you feel safe and comfortable. If you’ve had bad experiences with men or simply don’t trust them, you’re in your every right to request only female doctors. If you’ve had a bad experience with your current doctor, request a new one and GIVE THE REASON WHY. If it’s enough to make you change your doctor, it’s important enough to report. If it was a simple mistake on the doctors part, they’ll learn from it, if they’re genuinely a horrible person, they’ll hopefully face consequences.

[@GlitterF-CK]

@@justalittleturtle5600 Yes, exactly this. Seek out a *good* doctor. Everyone's personal boundaries and experiences are valid. And anyone who feels more comfortable with a female doctor should have that option. I'm definitely not saying that men are objectively better gynos by any means. There are lots of male doctors and female doctors of all kinds who are terrible. I only mean to say that somebody's personal boundaries should not matter when it comes to whether or not someone is qualified to be a specific kind of doctor. Even if it involves genitals. Women can be just as unreasonable and cruel if they want to be. And it's normalized, basically taught actually, to tell women seeking medical care that they're exaggerating or that they don't know what they're feeling. Or that they're lying for one reason or another. Deciding whether or not someone will be good at their job based solely on their gender is dangerous ground to tread on and also just unreasonable and unrealistic. "I'm am more comfortable with female gynos" is valid "No men should ever be allowed to be gynos because I had a bad experience" is not valid If it were, I could easily say the same thing about female gynos .

[@XsaviXander]

​​@@justalittleturtle5600 Why are you dismissing their experience? What you've said was already addressed in OP's comment and your response just seems like a knee jerk reaction.

[@mako3951]

Research on the topic suggests that on average female doctors handle patients of all genders with less complications, death, or misdiagnosis than male doctors. This information combined with the fact I've only had negative experiences with male gynos has informed my decision to seek out reputable female doctors when possible. I've had great male doctors too, for gyno stuff I am exclusively choosing female. There is no harm in having a preference. A person who prefers women that has a bad experience with a female doctor can always just seek out another female doctor. I will only consider doctors with extremely good rep and are respectful regardless of gender. Those often end up being women anyways

Sam is 10, she can't read or write and just started talking at around 7, previously using grunting to communicate. Sam was playing one of her games that had text dialog. She skipped all the text saying "words, words, bunch of stupid words". After getting passed the text she couldn't figure out what to do. She got extremely frustrated, threw the controller and stormed off. Every time someone brings up the issue to Becka, she replies with something to the effect of "If she wants to learn, she'll teach herself. If you don't like it then you don't have to be a part of her life.". If anyone would be caught trying to teach Sam something, Becka grabs her and leaves saying something about not wanting to expose her daughter to the "bad vibe". All that combined with the fact that Sam is on the spectrum, I'm seriously worried about her future. Also, when she was approved for SSI due to being on the spectrum, Becka said "Now I can quit my job". Becka, her husband(equally as stupid), and Sam lives in the basement of the husbands parents. The don't pay rent, food, insurance, or anything really. This "unschooling" movement is unbelievably dangerous and absolutely ruining the futures of an entire generation.

Sadly, 2021 had the highest reported rabies deaths in North America in recent years largely due to vaccine hesitancy, and yes some of the victims were children. Rabies is probably the most cruel of the preventable illness to die from. Bats are the current most vector cause of rabies deaths other USA mostly because we’ve vaccinated our pets and other wildlife so if you or your child spends an extended period of time in contact with a bat, go get the shot. As someone who has had the shot because I work with high risk animals, it’s not that bad and rabies is so much worse. Even if you are afraid of needles, the two pokes for rabies is much better than having that fear x ten at the sight of water while feeling desperate for that water at the same time and they’ll have to poke you a lot more anyways during symptom management.

I'm almost convinced online IQ tests are fake and will just give you a high number even if you BS your way through it; so it baffles me that they can even get it to give a score that low. 2.) The threshold for *_literally_* being "mentally slow" is an IQ of 80. OP's daughter can actually qualify for special needs if she *_was_* in school; which makes this even sadder.

1) Probably because that's not true. How well they function as an actual IQ test is up for debate, but they're not just giving everyone a high score "just because" You get a low score because you performed poorly. Simple as. 2) Considering that it explains what the graph means, she probably is.

The reading thing... its hard lol For my kids, the motivating factor was 2-parts 1) if they want to play the games that dad plays, then you have to read because a lot of those old RPGs don't have voiceovers. 2) There are some anime that will not be watched in the house in english. Gotta be able to read fast to keep up with the subtitles! So I would watch a show, and my son would ask what is going on, and I'd make a comment of "you need to learn how to read to understand. You can watch with me, but I'm not going to pause every few seconds to explain whats happening because I want to enjoy my show" Or my son would see me playing a game and ask if he could play it, and I would say "I don't have a problem with you playing it, but you can't really enjoy it until you can read, so you will have to wait." But that was perhaps a mistake, and too much motivation. My son was 5 and really wanted to play an old Final Fantasy game, so he was highly motivated to learn. He would ask for a reading lesson, cry the whole way through because it was hard and he clearly wasn't ready... and an hour or two later ask for another lesson... repeat. After 2 months of struggle it just clicked one day, and now he barely remembers the literal hell it was for everyone involved learning to read lol (totally worth it though!). But once he got it, he was soooo damn proud of himself! It was awesome to watch him overcome such a monumental struggle so young. He then taught his sister how to read... and she took to it like a fish in water at age 4. I didn't even realize she could read until she asked me about something on a road sign, and I was like... wait... you can read that? lol. Such a different experience for both of them. My son still remembers some of the struggle of learning to read, because he remembers how limiting he felt not being able to do things because he couldn't read yet. My daughter can't remember a time when she couldn't read. No two kids are alike, and it's crazy the difference of life experiences even when in the same household!

[@imperfectimp]

When I was 8 I really wanted to play videogames too, and it was such a boost for my English (not a native speaker). Motivation is such an important aspect of learning that is so often overlooked.

When I learned to read, I think that my parents first read to me a lot, so much so that I'd memorized Yertle the Turtle at two, not knowing what the words really meant.

If your confused about how consent should look, remember the acronym FRIES F: freely given R: reversible I: informed E: Enthusiastic S: Specific If it’s no longer fun, it’s stops. If it’s goes against what you’re ok with, it stops. There is no shame in reversing consent. It doesn’t matter how entitled your partner thinks they are to do things to you, no one is entitled to taking away your consent and autonomy. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been dating a week or married for 25 years, your consent and your partners consent is always important. It doesn’t matter if people do that same thing all the time. Listen to your heart, body, and partner ❤

Starlings are absolutely incredible in their vocalizations skills, they have a very wide range of sounds they can make and mimic! Some are able to mimic human talk and alike, which makes them used often as pets (They obviously only learn these stuff when raised by humans, but their vocalizations in the wild is still incredible!) But in general birds- and I wouldn't be surprised if other animals too- especially ones that live in family groups or song birds, do in fact have accents, as they learn to vocalize from other adults in their surrounding, both family and neighboring birds. With some bird species learning from other species as well which is awesome! But bird dialect is awesome, I vaguely recall something about a specific bird from a population that has one dialect and was tagged disappeared for a few years, only to return with a new 'accent' dialect that has been observed in population of the species farther away, in a different location. That means that bird travelled and met that population and learned that dialect alongside their original dialect remaining and used here and there :)

17:34 As much as we like to believe we have a choice in doctors, some places don't have as much freedom. From personal experience as living in the vast rual parts of Canada, I have to drive 40min to my family doctor. I only got 1 psychologist who could reassess my depression and anxiety after 5 years of dealing with it. He instantly dismissed my depression when he found out I got a girlfriend that year. According to him "depressed people can't love." It is a bare minimum 1 hour 30 min drive to the next closest, and it's not covered by social health care or my insurance. He was my only free option.
