What's Bothering You?

i cannot stand when people use their mental illness(es) and/or neurodivergence as an excuse for their bigotry in any capacity. these things are not correlated at all. your harmful opinions have nothing to do with your mental state and everything to do with your upbringing, your surroundings, and your own ignorance and lack of education on the subject matter. own up to your mistakes instead of bringing down everyone else with the same conditions as you.
 
I hate it when people hide behind their job for moral superiority. Just because a person is a doctor, firefighter or a teacher it does not mean that they are automatically a good person.
100%, there's a stereotype that female bullies often become nurses and there's a bit of truth to it lol.

in all seriousness though, while i won't get into this too much there is actually a huge racism problem within the medical field, and it has a very long history.
 
Why is Google so annoying? I was logged into an email yesterday, then my laptop updated automatically and restarted, now I can't login because of security measures and me not having the same phone number from ten years ago... I don't even want security measures on that account??? It's literally just a throwaway email AND I WAS LOGGED IN YESTERDAY. 😑
 
Earlier this month, some co-workers had their 40th birthday five days after mine.

But what's weird is that they not only knew about my birthday five days before theirs, but how I looked as well.

I don't have a Facebook or whatever, so how did they know that I look younger than them? I don't know.

Edit:
They work at a neighbouring radio station at a different town, but I still work with them over the phone and everything.

I hope you solve this riddle Papa. If anyone can solve it, it's you 💪
 
I don’t know man, but I really think that this current event we have now isn’t really doing it for me.

I’m barely sending out any envelopes, and I haven’t even made any entries for any of the 3 activities that you can make an entry for. I am sincerely struggling on what to make for the New Horizons designing part since all ideas I had have already been done.

I’m sorry, but I think I’ll take a hard pass on this event.

Same to be honest... I was considering participating, but after looking at everything I'm really not a fan of how the event was set up. I'll spare everyone my criticisms here, but let's just say it could have been handled better imo.

I've also just been pretty busy lately and will be for the next several weeks, so I don't really have the time nor do I want to dedicate any to it. A lot of the other events listed this year look really cool, but this one ain't it imo.

Even though I have yet to participate in any TBT events, I feel like a Valentine's Day event instead would have been more favorable. If there ever is another Valentine's Day contest or event, I would probably try to participate. It's right up my alley.

Also, I do not know if this is an OCD thing, but it is driving me a bit up the wall that the lanterns are hanging in front of the TBT logo. >_< On a more positive note, I do think the fiery tree lights are cute though. ❤️🧡💛

That said, a lot of us are unfamiliar with Lunar New Year. It is a holiday that is predominantly celebrated in East Asia, whereas Valentine's Day is more widely celebrated. I feel most of us here would more likely connect with an event that was focused around a holiday or theme that that are more familiar with. Just my two cents. :)

Yeah, that's fair. In staff's defense the last several years alone have already had Valentine's events and they were all different from each other if I recall correctly. It makes sense that they would want to change it up. I'm sure others and myself here appreciate that they are turning the spotlight to another culture rather than focusing on the same holiday again. I mean, LNY is really interesting to learn about, and I even play online games that are technically made by China, so I have nothing against what this event is focused on and am in full support of it.

I just think that the execution was not very well done. I mentioned the lanterns in a previous post, but just the ways in which the event was set up don't really sit right with me. I'm not going to post them here though because it's not really the appropriate place for it. If they have a survey or anything when the event concludes, I'll post my thoughts there.

But yeah, in general I agree with you. I just thought I'd explain a bit of both sides for the sake of fairness.
