I mean.. that's fucking hilarious.

"God never gives anyone more than they can handle."

... "Because that's when he takes you."

Not surprising. In a civil war, the only one who wins is the person selling the guns.

I'm not saying they output directly to people's car. I'm saying they have a queue of 15 or so drinks that they make where the employee only has to put the lid on the drink. You can't fill any other orders if that machine is busy waiting for you to put the lid on a water so it can produce another 17,984 waters.

No, the United Healthcare's CEO inspired other CEOs to deny more claims, which has a MUCH higher death count.

This is harm reduction.

Unless the drinks are made automatically by a machine - I know McDonalds had those at least 10 years ago, so it would make sense that at least one Taco Bell has it. The customer could have gotten through the 'payment' of $0.00, and the employees might not have a quick way of cancelling an order that 'was paid for' and currently being made, but the article doesn't go into detail.

That's true. I was hoping to convey that the disorder comes from the dissociation aspect of it. We aren't born with our personalities already intact, they develop and unify around the age of 5-6, and DID is a response to trauma from before that age. So, we all have 'multiple personalities', but don't consider them to be 'separate' because we can still communicate with them. Instead, we just consider them 'aspects' of a single personality, but it's a gray area.

I have a friend with DID, but I'm not an expert. The media also portrays DID inaccurately most of the time, so it's hard to explain when there's disinformation from multiple angles. I'd recommend doing some independent research or talking to your therapist about parts works as a way to understand more.

When all the alters communicate with each other and work together. Most people have 'aspects' of their personality that they only show sometimes, and we call it 'code switching'. It also happens when speaking different languages, people's personalities change, but we think that's normal. In therapy, for most people it's called 'parts work' where you recognize that a part of you feels a certain way, but not all of you, and it's OK to hold both of those feelings at the same time.

DID is usually caused by trauma that causes rifts between those aspects/personalities/alters and doesn't let them communicate with each other. That's when you start dealing with lost time, and waking up in strange places, so the real problem comes with the lack of intercommunication, aka dissociating.

It's like a road trip with friends. If you're all communicating and you say 'Hey, I'm getting tired, can someone else drive?' that's fine. You might wake up somewhere new, but you can immediately ask 'Where are we' and get caught up. But if you don't know that there are other people in the car, and think you're doing the road trip by yourself, lose days of time and suddenly wake up somewhere that may or may not be the destination you were expecting, that's a problem.

We all have parts. People with DID had their parts forcibly separated.

Unless you're not the best at getting it to stick to the brush before you put it under the water, and the majority of it gets knocked into the sink when you try. If that constantly happens to you, you can wet the brush first and THEN add the toothpaste. It'll take a few seconds to mix when brushing, but you'll get the same results with less wasted toothpaste.

Regardless of the final resting place after the funeral - DON'T EMBALM. They'll pressure your family into embalming to 'ensure the dead look their best on the day of the funeral', but refrigeration does the exact same thing. You might think it's more 'dignified', but just do a quick google at what the process entails. It's ALL smoke and mirrors, and I'd rather have people at my funeral actually understand what my body is doing at that point - not the image of what a 'body at rest' looks like from Hollywood.

Why do you think healthcare is tied to employment?

They only want to help if they can get a return on their investment. That's all we are to them.
