Search Results: where are you from

I've been thinking, and I've come along a train of thought which holds not wanting to ask for help as a culprit for a ton of issues I've faced in the past.

As a guy, there is a desire to not rely on others for help and to handle things alone, but this is a dangerous idea as it encouraged me to step outside my lane out of a desire to prove I can handle it.

This is a huge barrier to progress as a desire to handle things alone doesn't mean I will succeed, it just means I need to step back and humble up, ask the right questions, have an experienced person handy, and then maybe.

But this "I gotta do it alone", that needs to stop. While I don't intend to rely on others, I do intend to educate myself more, explore my natural skillsets while gaining new ones, and knowing my place.

One instance where I felt ashamed to accept help was last year when I was hospitalized for a serious lung infection which came as a result of my alcohol problems leading to being taken off Trikafta, a medication for my Cystic Fibrosis which has done nothing less than give me a new life.

Now alcohol is gone, Trikafta is back, coughing and labored breathing are gone, too. But in the hospital, I recieved IV antibiotics, but the IV machine kept on stopping.

Not wanting to keep bothering nurses when all I needed was the IV machine to go back to working, I asked one nurse how to fix it, so I wouldn't be such a burden on the staff.

She giggled and playfully hit me with a newspaper, she was right, those liberties aren't mine to take, the whole reason I was sick, at all, is because I was an irresponsible mess who drank more rum than Jack Sparrow.

This issue was fixed by a PICC line being inserted in me, which I used to finish my rounds of antibiotics and from there, I changed my life but I still feel ashamed to keep hitting the call button when I just needed the machine to work again.

Have you felt ashamed to ask for, or accept assistance from others?

I thought about this closely:

Do you have a feeling all this chaos is strategically facilitated? The leftist PM in the UK wants to make the rural countryside "less white". You don't believe leftist politicians in the US want to do the same? Think again!

Foreign nationals from broken nations flooded our country during the Xiden regime. Many of these people from broken nations are not accustomed to westernized societies, in fact, to them, getting handouts in the US is better than what they had back home.

Their standard of living is much lower than ours. Of course, if you saturate our population with people who have had a lower standard of living, you in turn create a lower standard of living.

Think of a white, upper-middle-class family. The children have likely been raised to understand they need to be financially stable before having a child. Those who have grown up in the ghettos are used to popping out kids with the expectation they can collect welfare benefits.

Bad actors know this, so you know what they do? They crash the job market and economy, making white couples reconsider having children while the ghetto folk and foreign nationals pop out babies.

Birth tourism also exists, where women from China travel to the US, birth a child on our soil that it is a US citizen, return to China to raise the child, then once the child turns 18, he/she can vote in US elections. This is why we are trying to restrict birthright citizenship so scenarios like these don't occur.

These are tactics for control and manipulation. When you cause so much disruption and chaos, this prevents people from being able to mobilize to fight back.

Meanwhile, the left attempts to brainwash and distract you from real problems, like a collapse of our fire and emergency services. When your public safety infrastructure collapses, this hinders emergency response efforts and increases casualty.

The term "red herring" originates from the 19th century practice of using strong smelling, smoked fish to train dogs or distract them from a scent trail. It was famously popularised by British journalist William Corbett in 1807 to describe misleading press reports, and later adopted in literature as a device to divert readers from the truth.

The term "white elephant" originates from Southeast Asian legends, particularly from Siam (Thailand), where rare, sacred white elephants were considered symbols of royal power and prosperity, but were also burdensome because they couldn't work and were expensive to maintain. The story goes that the king would gift these magnificent but impractical animals to courtiers he disliked, ruining them financially with the upkeep costs, making it a blessing and a curse.

The phrase white elephant describes a costly, useless possession that is hard to get rid of.

Do you own a white elephant or have you owned one, and have you ever received a red herring?

What is your opinion?

Assuming a community to open one up has a low crime rate that is.

Where I live, there are no longer 24 hour grocery stores. Many convenient stores also close at midnight. The only 24 hour places are travel stops and pharmacies, like Walgreens and CVS, but even their 24 hour stores are dwindling.

I thought about making my own vending machines with mini single-item cabinets that open, controlled by strong magnetic locks, and perhaps with a touch interface. An entire store someone can walk into, under surveillance with walls lined with the machines. From candy to crackers to otc meds, first aid, toiletries and beyond.

I do not believe people should be penalized for building wealth, gaining success, or even making achievements that surpass others.

Where I believe the line is crossed is when there are intentions to suppress others from being able to own a home, maintain stability, and to achieve their own success. This may occur in the form of monopolies, mega industries in the business of buying up single family homes, strict zoning ordinances and codes, criminalizing homelessness, excessive regulation and red tape, and penalizing people for living in cars, RVs, sheds, and even tents to survive.

There have been cases where people have been fined, threatened legal action, and even forced to forfeit their own land for living in a camper or RV. A more-rural county near me recently passed ordinances banning camper living. I have seen videos where a woman is sitting on a sidewalk with all of her belongings in the open as officials tow her RV.

I feel many cases of homelessness, poverty, and hunger are manufactured crisises.
