Don’t fake a disability. But much more important: don’t assume someone else is faking because they don’t look like your stereotype of what someone with a disability looks like. And don’t assume their abilities are the same every day (or even every hour). Disabled people are not the problems here. 😒

There must be some satnav/tourist error tales to tell!

I’m British and thank you for explaining why the posts say Salem, NH. Because I have no idea where the witchy Salem is but was wondering why the state has to be clarified

A woman (20s?) is standing in the cheese section of a supermarket, obviously completely overwhelmed.
A sales assistant comes up, puts a hand on her shoulder and says: "It's all gonna be okay, love. In five days it'll all just be indigestion. You'll do fine." (3)

Guide dogs are not tax payer funded. They are funded by charities who rely on donations.

I agree. Also - some people point out that disabled people pay into the system to remind others that anyone can become disabled /lose capacity to work, or to remind others that disabled people can be, and are part of the workforce.

Congratulations to President Kennedy who in 1947 said of Republicans: "They follow the Hitler line – no matter how big the lie, repeat it often enough and the masses will regard it as truth."

That was my first thought when the word “engineering” was a common factor. It would be weird to not consider a link at the very least

I am of the generation that were severely warned about chain letters and how to ignore them. This is so ingrained that I scroll past all repost requests (unless it’s actual helpful info such as charity/helpline stuff )

I’m glad you are free.

They don’t have the skill set to change. Change would mean admitting mistakes were made that needed to change. Their ego doesn’t have the resilience to do that. Narcissism is their entire coping strategy.
You are free from their coping strategy. It’s theirs. You can have your own.

The benefit is that non narcissists can learn and move on. Narcissists often never learn

It’s when the scales fall from your eyes that they lose all their power

I understand. Whatever you say to a narcissist will be twisted to their favour. It’s a pretty incredible skill they have. Denying them
Fuel is the only way, and saving your energy for your own well being is nice 🤗

It’s just slop to feed the hateful

Twice the size she was! 14wkd old and has learned a few commands. Houdini instincts, mischief finder, utterly adorable
