“I realized students could remember a ton of lyrics from their favorite songs but when it came time to remember vocabulary for the course or course content it was really difficult to recall things,” Mahmood said.

Why did we get restricted from posting in the "media about ie" channel?

“I realized my 5 year old could always finish his ice cream and cake, but when it came time to eat any nutritious foods like vegetables and protein, he would throw it on the floor! So, obviously I’m just going to feed him ice cream, since children know best, and know one should ever be challenged outside of their current comfort zone. Problem solved”.

Good morning my fellow Identitiarians!

Are we allowed to talk about this?

@JohnAtlas lol

Sure, but I think the photo says it all.

This is the end state of losing all self control to one's vices

@Koba seems like something like that could backfire dramatically

Speaking of lithium. We had 3 suicides by train in six weeks on Staten Island. All white men in their 20

sounds a lot like the plot to serenity lol

two of my friends from high school killed themselves this year

Awful...

going to the funeral for one of them next week

the other one was one of my best friends in high school, so that was pretty tough

I don't know he just kind of dropped off the face of the earth you know

I couldn't reach him

@Sonic It was getting spammed with conversations (some unrelated to IE) so they locked it down to coords and admins.

I'm sorry about your friend. The depth of despair a person must reach to kill themselves...

the one in a week was from a girl I know

which was surprising

I just saw her like a month ago

Must be very tough and confusing for you.

yea and then my daughter having cancer. Mother in law with her brain tumor

really I'm fine

I thought stuff like this would affect me more but it hasn't really phased me

can't really control any of it you know so just gotta take it as it comes

@Procella Eques your daughter is healthy now though isn't she?

Your daughter?? Sending you hugs. Don't forget to take care of yourself.

@Logan yea she is fine now looks like the cancer is gone!

it's also been a great year though too. Got promoted and got a new car

when life gives you lemons make lemonade

trials in life are like going to the gym. They're tough then but they only make you stronger

Yea the oncologist team told us we only need to come in every couple months now to get scans for her

the IE faith community really stepped up a lot in praying for my daughter

That's so awesome to hear @Procella Eques

All the christians, heathens etc.

it's nice despite the religious differences that we can come together like that

I worked at The Gay Center of NYC (yeah, I know) a few years ago. This tranny had a sticker on her door, something about "life is full of lessons but I wish I never had to learn some of these fucking lessons." The older I get the more I can relate to tranny wisdom.
