No. I said this is a very poor area and many people are just trying to survive. Many are likely happy to have any job that allows then to support their families. People think it’s only white Republicans doing these jobs. The Rio grande valley is like 85% Latino. As someone else mentioned, border patrol and ice are not the same.
This is sad. It sucks. You want to say that violence isn’t the answer, but it’s easy to see how people hit their breaking point. ICE agents kidnapping people is horrible. McAllen is poor. The people who work in that ICE facility are likely just happy to have a job with benefits that feeds their families.
I’m a 4-5. Sometimes I can get like a wire frame sketch of the general shape of something.
I couldn’t understand what it’s like for people who actually see and hear things in their heads. I recently realized that I sometimes experience a faint taste and I guess it’s sort of like that?
When I get a song stuck (which happens constantly) I don’t hear it; I just have the unrelenting urge to sing it.
I have no sound, voice, or pictures in my head. I didn’t know that other people did see/hear things until a couple of years ago. Thoughts just come in chunks.

Good answer. Doc is the best answer but may be financially difficult. Some jobs offer EAP (employee assistance program) - it only gets you 3 free visits, but it is a start. Do some reading on depression. Try to find a reason to get outside each day - even if you start with a 5 minute walk and add a bit every day or two. Is there something or someone you can help?

I’m in Texas and I’m really shocked it hasn’t happened yet.
My grandma called that a whore’s bath. She also had funny sayings like, “it’s colder than a witch’s titty in a brass bra in January.”
Attractive is not the same as good-looking. Nice, fun people are attractive. Assholes are ugly.
He doesn’t know the difference between a strong man and a strongman.
The more common the kink, the more porn of it there is. You’ll be ok. Everyone wants a spanking sometime.
The establishment prefers candidates with cognitive issues. Easier to manipulate.
We thought we were going to save so much money by drinking at home. Instead we spent the same and drank twice as much.
As a mom of men, it has always concerned me that, while we were supporting our girls, we left our boys to flounder a bit. We spent so much time telling girls that they could do anything and they could be ‘just as good as the boys’ and talking to women about glass ceilings and ‘don’t let the man keep you down.’ What did we tell our boys or rather what did they hear?
I don’t know. How do you teach empathy?
I started using a spreadsheet in 2010. Expenses down the left ordered by due date. Paydays across the top. Months framed and colored.
