Kirby Posted March 23, 2023 Share #8 Posted March 23, 2023 I'm sorry for whatever gave rise to this view. You work so hard to try to help so many of the vulnerable of society. I'm mad at anyone making that harder than it needs to be. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphie ★ Posted March 24, 2023 Share #32 Posted March 24, 2023 This is a quandary. Why do people both suck and not suck? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomguy Posted March 24, 2023 Share #33 Posted March 24, 2023 35 minutes ago, Ralphie said: This is a quandary. Why do people both suck and not suck? The general rule of thumb is that the larger the group, the worse the suckage. Individuals are good, but groups suck, so when that individual is behaving in a grouplike way, they begin to suck more and more. The more incorporated they are in the whole groupthink way, the less they behave like a decent person, and grow to think in massively selfish ways. Think of that nervous aunt who seemed kind of ok but gradually fell in with evangelicals and conspiracy groups and now posts in FB in all caps and hates everyone not exactly like her (group). If she suddenly stops being in that group or being online with the dO yOUr ReSearCh crowd, then she would probably revert to baseline and act more like a decent person again, once group cohesion is lost. It would take some time, though. Oh, the dumber the people in the group, the worse they are. I can think of some groups who are like monkeys that suddenly found language and hatred at once. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been over 35 yrs. since I ever joined any group for a wk. or so. Other times it was just for 1 full day or travelling with family. I've heard some good things and occasional not so good.

It works best for me when I do nothing to draw attention to myself. Well, we are talking about a bike trip. I would need to seriously make sure I'm in shape. I said to friend...well you know we could add on a few days of us doing stuff outside of the group bike trip... I dunno, we'll so where this goes. She is a much better cyclist than I (and looks after her bike better. ) We didn't sign up for any multi-hr. 1 day bus tour when we were in Japan. We saw enough different stuff, and did lots just taking walks, local subway and intercity fast trains. She was surprised when she and her sister joined a Quebec bike trip for about 4-5 days. For whatever reason, the francophones who were Quebecers, shunned them. She knew they were French-English bilingual but they chose to staunchly speak primarily in French and didn't even want to socialize with her and sister. When I heard this story it sounded very unusual and strange. She is Chinese-Canadian and quite assimilated like myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No really different shit but still shit But I love the work you do. It’s nearly impossible for the general public to recognize dignity in the population your schools are serving. Let alone human rights, growth potential, or something like contribution to society. Even as the work is complex and shitty. But always in the margin are examples of what care for people with IDD looks like when it goes horribly wrong. Here in NM, there’s now a flurry of investigation after three young men in residential care died from starvation and trauma. We’re hoping our own home visit and audit happens soon. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
