prfesser
If you're willing to wait it can be done on the cheap. Get a bag of gravel from Home Despot, plant the bits about 6" apart, water thoroughly and feed once a week with Portland cement powder. Rock garden in 95-110 days. You're welcome.

#49 okay but, I distinctly remember being in some sort of eval as a very small child, drawing a picture because idk it was what I could draw, and then deciding to make up some BS reason why I drew those things specifically because I thought the psych person expected me to have a reason? Like the flowers did not represent my friends, Susan, I just liked to draw flowers 😂

#49 I drew the sun like that because I saw someone else draw it like that.

Ah dude. My cat ran away a bit over a month ago after some health problems, and #9 broke me today.

I’m so sorry. I hope it gets better for you.

That is sad, but I can't help but smirk at your username. Almost like you are his cat and you're taunting him. I'm evil, I'm aware.

The joke was that this account was going to be stories of my perspective working retail as a cat, but I got lazy.

The second one just looks like a split-level home with a nice glass window where the stairs are. It looks like it's in the Midwest.

Not all families have kids. As an adult kid, I play in my garden all the time.

implosion3
Not the only one.. its significantly nicer. You need to be fairly well off and usually retired to spend that much time making a garden like that
objectreborn
Per scale, I have a garden like that, in over 30 containers at the edge of my apartments parking lot. And I work a little over full time between both jobs and run my business. If you're into it, buy only heirloom seeds so you can harvest more seeds each time, buy reusable everything. Besides several hours for getting started every spring, I spend 15 min every 2 days watering etc.
eggmuffin
Lawns are more expensive to keep that a proper, well-balanced garden. So that's hardly relevant.
koyote2033
#5 I was once told cause I was getting federal aid to go to school full time, I was disqualified from getting food stamps. This was after they told me I needed to work 20 hrs a week and show it wasn't enough. I did everything they wanted and they said, "go hungry." I also confirmed that if I was going to school part time and being lazier, they would've qualified me. And tbf, I had the social manager in tears about it; she disagreed and looked into it personally and couldn't do anything.
koyote2033
And I'd also like to be clear: this was in California during Obama's tenure. There's a reason I won't ever vote for either major party after 2008 ever again
DigiT00l
Keep voting blue until the reds stop being an active danger and something actually left can form
mithiwithi
Also vote in Democratic primaries. If you're not in a deep red district/state, you can probably afford to take a chance on a progressive candidate.
TI99Kitty
And that kind of stupid shit's been going on since George H.W. Bush's tenure. Probably even since Reagan. Blaming it on Obama is bullshit.
darkhalfbreed
As much as I support the idea of not voting major parties, let's be real here, the system is too fucked and voting 3rd is just jerking off. Like it was Obama's tenure but the other branches were still fairly red and the major contributors to the fucked system.
SunBrolem
We don't live in a dictatorship where the president can wave his fingers and make things happen (thank fuck). SNAP is federally controlled and getting the republicans to do ANYTHING positive in terms of social programs is basically impossible.
dohcohv
I was also in CA at that time, working 3 part time jobs to afford to go to school part time. I gave up in 2010 and decided to move. Came to NV in 2012 with just my clothes and Miata, bought my house in 2015, graduated college in 2023 with no debt while my wife was a stay at home mom with our three kids. I absolutely would not be able to do that in CA.

#4 I’m not sure you know what a lawn is.
BreakablePotato
#49 bullshit hiding behind weasel words like "could be a sign." I drew a sun like that because I saw other kids draw like that. I was still struggling to put my underpants on the right way every morning, not embedding palimpsest cries for help with crayon.

Also, call me whatever tf you want, just save my life. People should set their priorities straight.
experiment91
Huge support of trans community, I also worked on an ambulance. I don’t believe medical care is the right place to worry about this. Your gender assigned at birth could actually change the care required in some instances. To me it sounds like the Dr was probably being a jerk, but not the right hill to literally die on IMHO.
ExemplarOfSarcasm
#8 I'll give the doc some slack. Some of them work like 36h straight or something insane. Hard to remember your own pronouns at that point

#5 Is that accurate? Fucking wild.
brobinson2001
Only for SSI, which is where you've either never paid in or haven't paid in enough into Social Security taxes. SSDI doesn't have an asset limit but does have a ~$1400/mo income limit (more if you're blind [which is fair, considering how much vet bills are for a guide dog]).
brobinson2001
Also, Medicaid is a state-by-state program with different qualifiers, so really this whole thing needs to be taken with a grain of salt & research done accordingly.
Cervidaesigns
There's a bill to up it to 10k$ but it's being stalled. We need another Capital Crawl event tbh. So many people aren't aware of how bad it is to be disabled. It can take years of jumping through hoops to get SSI. 42% of California's homeless population is disabled. Housing is almost impossible for us to find anywhere in the US.
SparklyAntelope
Yes
manystripes
The problem is it's a qualifying cutoff. If they actually wanted to help people get back on their feet it would slowly ramp out as you made more, so additional income is always an improvement.
mechanicalchaos
As someone on disability, yes.
welluhwhatdoyouwantmetosay
Disability income is not enough to live on, so they encourage you to go back to work. If you work, and possibly earn less, you can lose the income and health care. It is an entrapment in poverty.
cepacolusmaximus
also, if you're disabled and you marry someone who makes "too much" money, they kick you off and you aint EVER getting it back, even after divorce.
Mistruths
Basically: they expect you to magically make the jump from "fuck all" to "actually a decent living" without going through the "it ain't much, but it's honest work" part. But with most disabilities, you need to work in that middle spot for a very fucking long time just to be stable enough to start reaching higher, especially since there are absolutely zero safety nets available while you're in that part.
Mistruths
They bitch and whine about people "not wanting to work", but literally the best they can physically (or mentally) do amounts to GETTING LESS THAN DOING NOTHING, and there's no path to actually getting help or successfully being a participating member of society. Your only hope is finding a genie, winning the lottery, or blackmailing a billionaire successfully enough that them paying you a few millions to fuck off is less trouble than 10k to have you 'taken care of'
anyrandom0
So you’re saying there’s a chance.
Mistruths
It's not zero, but it's pretty fucking close if you live in America.
Phayze87
Same thing in Canada. It's depressing as fuck and I'm already chronically depressed.
Snuffalybuns
Yeah I have a friend who's paraplegic and she gets around it by only using cash and keeping it stuffed in her mattress
Snuffalybuns
It's a pain though cuz a new wheelchair is several thousand dollars and you're not allowed to have that much money in the bank, so she has to give someone else the cash and have them buy it for her.
objectreborn
That's fucked
stephenmayhem
Yup. When my son was born he wiped out our savings. We applied for benefits for him but couldn't get them because we had more than $2000 in assets (by which, I mean around $2500) even though we also had >$20,000 in medical bills.
oldguyexlurker
This is absolutely true. I know a guy in this situation and had no idea it was this bad until I had the opportunity to offer him a decent part-time job since he really can't work outside the home. I've been pissed at the system since he explained exactly this.
princesscindycat
#5 is accurate. I just resubmitted my medicaid application and they asked for assets. Thankfully I only have 1, my paid off car that they know about, but told them it's my only way to get to work and doc appointments. They cant make you sell your only vehicle. And for those thinking medicaid gives so much money, they can if you have kids. I only get $29 a month in food stamps, which literally buys me 2 steaks. Not all people on medicaid are moochers. I need it for my health insurance or I'll die
CrumbyCake
#41 Linus has no chill. I fucking love it
Isgrimnur
It’s fake, but a really well done one.
BoredLyron
Do you have a source for it being fake? I don't doubt it, but as the quote is so insanely Linus like, I'm now interested in why someone would have faked it. Just faster to fake it than to find a real Linus quote that would be close enough? Some extremely specific context? I want to know the background of this (and hate my brain for always wanting to know these things).
jejorda2
Quote Investigator says it is from a 1994 novel, Seeker’s Mask by P. C. Hodgell. Schulz was alive and writing Peanuts until 2000 per Wikipedia. I guess QI could have missed it. https://quoteinvestigator.com/2016/03/13/destroy/?amp=1#
Spudd86
I'm pretty sure Peanuts was always hand lettered, that image isn't, that's just a font. Look at both instances if the word "truth" they're completely identical.

The correct pronoun for this grammar would have been "them"
kingkongkeom
I can't even be mad at him a little...he is an ER doctor who has to deal with so much stress while treating horrific accidents nonstop. Pronouns are at the very bottom of his priority list...and still he cared and tried to get it right.
TI99Kitty
He may also have been "on" for 12 hours or more, by that time.
skippingmyhsreuniontogetdrunkinmydriveway
#4 I agree with what you're saying but I believe you are confused about the word lawn.
jemappelletosca
They also used the word less when it should be the word fewer. I hate being that person, but it drives me crazy.
JacaByte
What is a lawn if not a garden for grass?
skippingmyhsreuniontogetdrunkinmydriveway
It may be a geographical thing, but lawn is specifically grass and only grass.
JacaByte
bruh
adrianontherocks
#49 yeah that sounds like a bunch of BS. Many children will draw the sun in multiple positions and often it is based on what they have seen others draw. Or that they don’t feel they can draw a perfect circle and doing it in the corner is easier. Or they just like it like that.
zarook
I literally remember being taught specifically to draw a sun in the corner, and like, my dad is awesome and was super present. I door dashed him a steak for Father’s Day.
thisoneisjustforyoureyes
#49 Everything in that post
TanktheAlmighty
I drew the sun in the corner because I didn't like drawing amd could finish faster if I didn't draw the whole thing. That, and it left room for trees, when I was semi good at.
thisoneisjustforyoureyes
I did it because I liked how the corner became part of the picture. If I did a space picture I would do a planet in the bottom corner for the same effect.
GoliathSkittles
It's Tumblr, you could say wearing shoes is the sign of an absent father figure and they would all go "IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!"
SillyCircuits
I was diagnosed with depression in my 20's but definitely suffered from it LONG before that, and there is no way in hell I could have drawn clouds covering the sun. Drawing the sun in the corner was already maxing out my artistic abilities lol.
Tenugui
Children draw the sun in the corner because you can't look directly at it. It's always in your peripheral vision.
objectreborn
👆
CraftyGiant
It is fully bullshit.
callocosplay
It is also tumblr... I've seen this kind of shit all the time from there. Didn't yahoo kill it though?
RetailCat
Yeah. I drew the sun in the top left corner because that’s what my teacher fucking told me to do, the controlling cunt.
darkusblack
Were you homeschooled by your father?
SeeMyVests
Nah he was never really around
icurays1
Or, you grow up in Seattle and never saw the sun until you were 14
SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem
I always drew it like that in the corner because that's just how I liked to do it.... I've also got abandonment issues because of my dad. It's probably coincidence and doesn't actually mean anything, but it's still an amusing connection to make.
xray8tango
I drew it like that because it took up less room.
dabrick31
I drew the corner Sun like that mostly because it was easier and left more room on the page for the houses and families I was drawing. I stopped when an art teacher told me that drawing the Sun like that draws the eye off the page, making it more difficult to appreciate the rest of the drawing
thegregorious
It’s soooooo much fucking easier just drawing arc across the corner. I can’t draw close to a good circle now I sure couldn’t do it as a kid lol
TuckerTheGuy
It depends on how they were taught. We were taught to put the sun in the corner so we can put more things in the drawing to make it interesting. That's it. And most British based education systems do this for art.
GrifCreeper
I just rememner my kindergarten art teach telling me the sun was a lot easier tondraw of I shoved it intonthe corner. Before then, I liked having half the sun dead center top of the drawing
Iputthebestinbestiality
That means both your parents were absent
idiotsonfire
Agreed, this is like a "body language expert" telling a cop that someone is aggressive because they folded their arms over their chest.
azzurrivincitore13
I looked up their article there are no sources and it’s not peer reviewed. It’s complete bullshit. No study no nothing.
nevinera
After playing Mario 3, the full circular sun always looked vaguely threatening to me.
nevinera
World 2 was the worst world.
GrifCreeper
It wasn't even really that bad. The angry sun only showed up in one level, and the trick was to literally not stop running. Run through the whole level without slowing down, and you'd stay away from the sun. Running jump before hitting the twisters and you don't get caught by them. The sun did show up in a world 8 level, but world 2 was by no means a bad time in my experience.
nevinera
Clearly you were not 7.
GrifCreeper
I've been playing the game most of my life
smittyatyou
That's what I did as a kid and my father was always there for me.
Foxsayy
Yeeeeears ago I went to a retreat and they had us to draw our friends and family as fish in a tank. They asked for a volunteer and made sure I was REALLY sure, then threw my drawing up and told me my the complex fishbowl structure indicated complicated, stratfied relationships, identified the people I liked, said my relationship with my mother was complicated, and said that the pitch-black fish was (my dad) was absent or mean. That was all pretty true and tbh I might have cried lmao
adrianontherocks
Yeah that stuff is like astrology or psychics who cold-read audiences. They make it vague enough that it can apply to most people and tailor it a little with what info they were able to gather ahead of time or fish for in the moment (pun not intended). Sorry you had to go through that :(
Foxsayy
Thanks, I know it's mostly bullshit. Although, considering how the brain tends to classify things and the Jungian idea of the Collective Unconscious, I wouldn't be surprised if, when framed under certain circumstances, people tend to express themselves in terms of certain archetypes. Eg, a pitch-black, distant figure in the context of friends and family representing a painful relationship.
darkhalfbreed
I drew it in the top right corner because then I don't have to draw a full circle and I'm right handed
thereitis101
It’s a whopping ton of BS
ZOMGNO
I liked taking my colouring pencil right up the the edge, and making the quarter-circle very neat, thats why i did it. My parents are together and we have a great relationship. Its bullshit. Not just anecdotally, but having done study on children's art.
implosion3
disposablewords
It's straight-up just another kind of astrology. What nonsense.
TI99Kitty
Yes. As a kid I was most likely to draw the sun as a full circle. You know why? Growing up in south central Texas, that's how I usually saw it. In the middle of the sky. Not obscured by clouds. I sure as hell didn't draw it that way because I had a "positive view of the world." That whole post sounds like armchair psychology, to me.
interesseret
In most media I saw as a kid the sun was in the corner with a smiley face, so I drew it like that. Later my arts and crafts teacher drew it with cloud cover, so I started doing that. Later I saw a cartoon in which they were in the desert and the full bright sun had a halo around it, so I started drawing it like that. These first year psyche students would have had a field day with me apparently.
Fayen
In HS psychology we drew a pig. The teacher explained after that the tail represents our sex drive. Some kids didn't draw a tail, most drew average-curly. But this one guy drew a tail that pretty much covered the paper. Like, bored, and just kept drawing curlies.
RoyalWithChz
That sounds like absolute bullshit from the teacher but funny story
MrRandom314159
Sounds like you want to conform to the person with the most authority you last saw.
FoxyEllie
I'm so sorry with how your life has been going :(
interesseret
What does it mean for me when I've stopped drawing the sun if the backlight isn't important to the picture? Now I'm scared
AnyaNorthern
Depression.
