Reintegration Puns

Full disclosure, I am a member of the Azerbaijani Diaspora.

Background

Over the last year we have seen development in the wider Karabakh region to remove mines, create infrastructure and rebuild homes. This has made it possible for some places to be repopulated and for regular transit of construction crews and military personnel throughout the liberated regions. However, we seem no closer to reconciling or addressing the future of Nagorno Karabakh than we were in November of 2020. Even more troubling, I am sure ethnic Armenians in NK have little reason to see a future for themselves in Azerbaijan. I don't even believe that a majority even believe they can live safely alongside ethnic Azerbaijanis. I also believe that that a majority of ethnic Azerbaijani's feel the same way about living alongside ethnic Armenains.

I believe that the current status quo is detrimental to Azerbaijan and ethnic Armenians in NK in the long run. Lack of trust limits Azerbaijan's ability to justify managing the region. Unrest justifies Russia's continued presence in NK. And a lack of status makes it hard for people in NK to engage in the global economy. A lack of status also increases tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan and threatens another military conflict.

The Idea

Currently the towns that fall in NK proper and are under Azerbaijani control are depopulated. I would suggest that we use these as a staging ground for reintegration efforts. I believe it will improve the standing of Azerbaijan internationally, domestically, and with ethnic Armenians. I also think it will enable Azerbaijan to have a better position in future discussions.

There are risks and costs. Azerbaijan will have to invest in security forces, infrastructure, and screening. Any who enter commit insurgency actions will need to be tracked down and apprehended. It makes it more possible for Hadrut to be part of any future potentially independent NK. Also, the population will need to be kept safe and effectively made a part of Azerbaijan's "system" for the program to be a success.

What are your thoughts on this idea? If you like it, how would you like to see it implemented?

• How big would this be?
• Who can enter?
• How to manage them?
• When would this start and how long will this go on?
• Other considerations?

If you don't like it, why not? Do you have alternative suggestions?

I'll include details on what I think woul

How do you guys think Chisaki will be brought back into the story, now that he's out there? I'm hoping he helps Deku, not because he realizes he was wrong, but because of his hatred for Shiggy. He begs Eri to rewind him, and he saves Deku in the nick of time. Of course he'll end up dying cause I can't see him being forgiven for what he did.

TW: Descriptions of physical/emotional abuse and self-harm.

Hey! I've been meaning to make this post for a while. Basically, I haven't really been much of a hiki these past two months. I've been going outside almost every day. I'm enrolled in community college (though doing poorly), and I'm aiming to become a social worker to help victims of abuse and domestic violence. I'm 22, and I've been living in an 18 month transitional living program for about a week now. How? Well, it's a long story that hopefully might help some of you out there, hopefully opening someone to the idea that this extreme isolation from society isn't a character defect — your experiences matter.

Like many others here, I was often bullied throughout my school years — both by students and teachers. Constant stress. Crippling social anxiety. Compulsive skin picking and self harm. Nightmares. Flashbacks. Hypervigilance. Chronic depression. Suicidal at 11-years-old. I guess I had my life cut out for me! I always dismissed my struggles as character defects, but it was much more than that. The environment I grew up in was arguably the biggest factor of all of my past and current problems.

I've seen many licensed social workers, case managers, and therapists these past two months. I was diagnosed with PTSD on at least four separate occasions. It wasn't based on experiences in school or out in society, though. Those experiences were only made worse by those I dealt with on a daily basis, somewhere else — my own home.

Looking at my home life, it'd make sense to say I was raised by people who also seemed to hate me for simply existing. It was a very authoritarian household. I was frequently spanked, slapped, belittled, and even kicked for any mistakes, mistakes yet to be made, and pretty much anything minor that could be used to inflict violence upon me (all mostly by my dad). My earliest memory is, I kid you not, being slapped as a toddler because I went against my mother's orders to abbreviate my last name, saying, "I know. I just like writing it out the long way." In 9th grade, my dad put his hand around my throat because he thought I didn't iron my uniform. Yeah. It's all just awful.

In this household, I was punished for expressing myself in any way that was not approved of, whether emotionally (like facial expressions) or physically (like the music I listened to or what hairstyles I could have). As a result, I developed an abysmal self-esteem, a compulsive skin picking problem, a cripp

I go back to the SSRI (escitalopram), well this is the third time I go back, but I don't take it for more than two weeks, I get scared and I always stop. More this time I've been taking it for three weeks and plan to take longer. What I've noticed is that I always have a window of improvement when I go back to the SSRI, but after a few days they fade and disappear. What this means? I do not understand. But lately I've been trying to understand what my life with pssd will be like and deal with the depression it causes me. I'm happy now and I don't know what to do, I have bad thoughts (those thoughts I can't write here) and when I take the medicine they disappear.

I feel like maybe I will have to stay with escitalopram my whole life now, because I've been like this for over 1 year, and my mood is not good. What would you rather live depressed with pssd or live happy if it costs you to go back to SSris?

What do you advise me? I need to talk to people who are feeling what I feel.

I'm looking for a story, real or imagined, about someone who has spent a long time in prison, in a coma, or away from society in some other way, and has to learn and adapt to all the new rules, trends, and technology.

If it's fiction there can be fantasy elements like brainwashing or time travel as well, but that's not a must. I'm just interested in reading about our society from an "outside" perspective.

Ok, so, I’m not sure if this belongs here, but I wanted to share because I wanted to contribute (just saw u/diditmakesound post about moving beyond extraction and consumption). So, this is my contribution, and one of my latest insights:

We are living through a mass trauma — COVID. Quite the experience. We’ve been locked away, we’ve been separated, we’ve been isolated, we’ve been hammered with negativity from all media platforms, and we have been divided. We’ve lost our communities, and the pandemic has shown us many of the people in our lives’ true colors — whichever side of whatever argument you are on is not my qualm... my qualm is that we are now defining ourselves around those “sides”. Different post for another day though.

If you’ve been alive in the past year/year and a half, and you’ve been a part of society in ANY form, I’m sure you’ll agree that it feels like everyone is on edge, and we’re all walking on egg shells.

Ding! Cue extreme, large-scale, collective social anxiety. You can feel it in your bones (or at least that’s been my experience and the many others whom I’ve spoken with as of late).

With that said, I’ve noticed a personal shift in my social anxiety (through work on myself and integration of some experiences in altered states of consciousness). It’s nearly disappeared overnight, really.

I’m capable of talking with others freely, I’m reaching out to people I haven’t spoken with in years, and I’m building COMMUNITY again.

I believe it all comes down to this insight: EVERYONE is re-learning how to socialize.

So, how can we get past/through this and begin to live our best lives again? Here are a few suggestions from me:

1. Be open and honest with one another about our struggles with social anxiety. You’ll find many people feel the same way.

2. Be aware that our feelings are coming from a situation that was out of your control. Don’t blame yourself.

3. Be aware of the anxiety in general — it is exactly that, anxiety. It is not reality and likely doesn’t reflect the actual situation happening in that moment.

4. Remember to give ourselves more credit and understand that we’re all in a space of LEARNING, and those spaces can be uncomfortable, but with practice and time, we’ll get the hang of it and come out the other side a better version of ourselves.

Wishing you all the best on your journeys. Blessings and love to you all 🙏

And PLEASE, feel free to share any additional suggestions in the comments. We’re all here to s

My son starts reintegration therapy 9/21 I’ve started and he told my mother yesterday that I used to beat him with a belt. I’ve never laid a finger on my kid and my ex and I used to fight about it Bc he was physical and my dad was extremely abusive growing up.

I am ready to be like f this.

It’s been a year and my defeat is real. How the hell am I supposed to get through this without telling my kid he’s completely full of shit?

Govtrack.us Summary

This season Elneny came back, became a part of the squad again and had some great games. This seemed unlikely at the outset of the transfer window. Similarly Chambers came to be an important player by the end of the season and Holding seemed to be on the way out.

Arsenal are trying to move on a lot of players. It stands to reason, there's a good chance that some players won't be able to be moved on. Who do you reckon might have an surprising redemption and reintegration into the squad?

I’m talking no awareness of the outside world (or none at all if possible), no risk of coming back, just…fading away. Anyone here have an alter that’s done it or that has come back from doing it?

ADVICE PLEASE for those with experience of the JEDI MIND FUCKS:

I have PTSD and I'm trying to heal myself. As a noob, I started tripping religiously every 3 wks. At first between 2.5-3.5 dried grams of GT'S over a period of several months, then jumped into 5-8g of JMF's for several months...

Haven had about 2 months off the Mushroom after at detrimental bad trip, in which case I nearly fucking killed myself...

Ive been getting these crazy urges to return to it. It's like the Mushrooms are calling me back. But I don't want to dive back in Balls Deep.

Just a low enough dosage to experience the Honeymoon Dose. To feel euphoric and uplift my mood. I believe the Mushroom is trying to welcome me back.

I "DON'T" and under any circumstances want to experience the ego death! Not just yet.

I just want to experience seeing everything wavy and trippy. To keep my eyes open and to not lay down for the proper closed eye visual experience. I want to be up and about, experiencing the moon walking and laughing and shit. That kinda trip.

But I honestly don't know what the actual dose is for Honeymoon Trip for the Jedi's???

Someone please fucking help me, as I want to trip tonight!! 🤣🤣🤣

This question applies to not just the United States but to the rest of the world as well.

Whenever there is an online discussion regarding the death penalty, you would get the impression that most people support abolishing it entirely. However, when discussions regarding especially heinous specific cases such as the McStay family murders or the Kyoto Animation arson attack come up, supporters of the death penalty suddenly come out of the woodwork. While a lot of countries have already abolished capital punishment, a number of countries including the United States still retain it. For example, California voters rejected two initiatives to repeal the death penalty by popular vote in 2012 and 2016 and they narrowly adopted in 2016 another proposal to expedite its appeal process.

From the above alone, it could be concluded at least in the US that the various proposals for the justice system to be less "tough" on crimes let alone less retaliatory are quite divisive among the general public. Then there are the various sentencing hearings that would make you think that such reform proposals are unpopular with families and acquaintances of crime victims.

Should all criminal justice systems prioritize/focus on rehabilitation and reintegration into society rather than retribution? If so, how?

For example, would you agree with a proposal to limit length of prison sentence at somewhere between 20 to 30 years even for rape and murder such as in the case of the murder of the Alcàsser Girls?

Do you believe that violent criminals should be held in prisons like the infamously "humane" ones in Norway?
