Frankly, having dealt with situations like this before, this level of attachment should be walked away from or cut off. Amelia seemingly needs to get over this and I don't even know that theres a charitable solution to this where everyone wins. I've always governed myself with the philosophy that I should look after myself. This can superficially sound selfish but it's because I can't take care of other if I'm not nearing my best. If Amelia is this dependent on Ana, for both of their sakes, I think the tie should be severed or minimized. This sounds cruel, I understand. How does Ana feel? Does she feel burdened by this? If so, it sounds like we have our answer.

exchange AFAIK isn't considered hierarchy, a trade of goods (in your example money for service) is equal

I think these short, punchy comments do serve a purpose and are worth having, little things like that add up for people questioning their own stance etc

the one point I agree on is that these comments aren't creative: they could certainly contribute more and could also be more hopeful rather than simply angry

people being mean to this dog are just haters I think you should continue to post this image :3

the sensors aren't placed on desks, you can see that the displays are placed outside of bathrooms because that's where kids generally vape. my high school has sensors inside the bathrooms on the ceiling and they don't work. you're thinking of a scenario that's incredibly difficult and costly to implement, I assure you no district would be willing to hook this bullshit up to EVERY DESK. the term "Simon's desk" here is likely just a name for one of the sensors they used to test this concept, with the sensor being located at the desk of a developer named simon

lmao you were the one freaking out about words, now we know theyre an impertinent troll

people like me who can be bothered by it

you not being upset by it doesnt necessarily mean there arent people who are upset by references to suicide or portrayals of sharp objects in this context

its not quite necessary or expected on lemmy as far as i can see but its definitely appreciated when i have to see one less triggering post, cause the stress does add up

though i will point out that its pretty useless when the image isnt spoilered or hidden within the body cause who reads the title first and THEN decides if they want to see the post

i said nothing arguing that suicidality is not unique or that professionals are always competent, i argued that trying to negotiate with someone who is suicidal is often traumatic and the average person isnt qualified to perform such negotiations

this is it, still remember the joy of my first watch still rewatch it from time to time

We're rich!

Nothing to my knowledge, she has a few videos defending nonbinary identities and rejecting people insisting it's one or the other. I have no idea where the takes in this comment section are even coming from
