When I looked through the list of lemm.ee communities I was subbed to, my first thought was: omg I hope JohnnyEnzyme takes this ok...
Ship Sun of Theseus.
I didn't say anything about gender, and I agree with everything in your comment. In addition, I maintain that the original post's divide-and-conquer victim-blaming is one of the worst possible takes on the fact that accessing mental health care (in the US) is harder than performing esoteric medieval alchemy.
https://obscurebattles.blogspot.com/ - detailed descriptions of historical battles. @PugJesus@lemmy.world you might find that interesting. The guy does it for miniatures wargaming, but he's former Navy Intel and he seems to know how to put together a brief.
All right, either:
- try to decide what kind of therapist is needed (difficult)
- figure out what kind of therapy/therapists are covered by insurance (time-consuming and stressful, sometimes impossible)
- provide a bunch of private information (time-consuming, difficult, and stressful)
- look through a list of relevant therapists nearby (usually easy)
- try to identify one that you might relate to or at least be able to deal with (very difficult, sometimes impossible)
- call them up one at a time to see if they're really accepting new patients (time-consuming and stressful)
- try to find a regular time that works in your schedule for the new therapist and for other obligations (difficult)
- again provide a bunch of private information (time-consuming, difficult, and stressful)
- go meet with the therapist. try to get along with them because if you don't it's your fault and you have to start all over (difficulty varies, sometimes impossible)
- do all this while dealing with whatever problem you need therapy for (difficulty varies, sometimes impossible)
Or:
- access Paracelsus: https://paracelsus-project.org/ (easy)
- translate: https://translate.google.com/ (easy)
- distill potions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrrbGRIOhCw (easy)
I know the wording's a meme, but the hell with whoever made the original post. Fuckem.
I love the thought of all the original Olympians wearing diapers.
oh, sorry, I just added a warning.
If you have male genitalia, at least wear a kynodesmē (NSFW educational link) to stop your junk from flapping.
woah by complete coincidence I just posted this on !fullmoviesonyoutube@lemm.ee. Must be zeitgeist or something.
@rabber@lemmy.ca to be specific, !fuckcars@lemmy.world is "A place to discuss problems of car centric infrastructure or how it hurts us all." The key word there is "infrastructure".
Cars are amazing technological achievements, but many places have very poor infrastructure that is too focused on ONLY supporting cars (often single-passenger). This causes a variety of problems as discussed in that community. In fact, if we had better infrastructure you'd be able to enjoy driving even more because there'd be less traffic.
"Fuck cars" is a bit of a misleading name, but I guess it's catchier than "hooray infrastructure".
Upvoted. I disagree, and I think we need fewer cars and more public transportation, but if you don't like that community by all means block it.
I'm glad this guy posted this, so his kid can show it to their therapist later in life.
Do you think I really have to go out of my way to engage with someone that I have found attractive? I think it would be way too clear that I’m forcing a conversation in order to make them my “acquaintances”. Doesn’t that weird people out?
That's one of the things you learn through practice. How to do it in a non-weird way.
Some of this is culture-dependent. Where I live now, anyone can just say "good morning!" or "have a good day!" to anyone else and they might say something back or they might just smile or nod. In other places this might not be acceptable to someone of a certain "status" or in certain contexts or until you are "introduced". Just observe what other people do, and do that.
Is approaching them awkwardly a better thing to do?
That's why it's good to practice ahead of time. Yeah, it can be awkward to walk up to someone, plant yourself in front of them, and try to start a conversation. It's a lot easier if you're both arriving at work at the same time and you say "good morning!" as you each go your separate ways.
He begged for life!
I'm mixed-race but it wasn't just seeing a mixed-race person sent to the death chamber. What really got to me was the way the character just wanted to get their work done but they were dragged away in a cold and bureaucratic way. They whimpered like a child being dragged from their parents. The kid was terrified but they still wanted to be obedient. It wasn't that they were hoping to be saved by obedience, it's that they were just an obedient kid, even when scared. The way when they begged to go on living, everyone else just stared and didn't even move or react. They never really cared for that person anyway, the character's kinda funny-looking anyways. If they made a fuss there might have been trouble. It's not like any of them is some kind of hero. The only one to object was that holographic doctor, who was always treated as a joke. Because only a crazy person or a clown would go against the group. I looked it up online and the situation is never referenced again in any series. It was not an issue to anyone. All those people, the whole organization, the whole perspective of the show, to me is repulsive.
But I was kind of a nervous kid, so I recognize it's just my point of view.
Here are a bunch of "general conversation" communities, which is the closest I've seen:
You ever wonder why people do small talk? It's for situations like this.
Learn to do small talk. Practice in... I dunno, the grocery store checkout, your elderly neighbor, someone in the diner. Just 5-10 second conversations. "hi there / warm out, isn't it? / yeah, how about them (sports team)? / yeah, all right!" Bland stuff. If you don't know what to say, watch other people and write things down.
You may think this is hard as an introvert, but in fact it's easy bc you don't have to think about what to say. It's easy to develop simple "scripts" that you play out. Like there's this person at the gym, and every time I go we're like "hey what's up? / not much what's up with you? / just another day in paradise! / all right!" Every freakin time.
It may sound crazy to do these things, but it lets people know you're not stuck-up or dangerous. Anyway, after you're better at small talk, it's easier to get to know someone you really want to know more about. Like, after you establish an acquaintanceship you can be like "oh, that (object they're holding) reminds me of (relative of yours), they got one in (mildly interesting location)." Just practice this kind of thing in general, and you'll be better prepared when you meet someone you're really interested in.
I used to be terrible at this, luckily my BFF was amazing at it and I learned by observation.
I used to love Star Trek until I hit that Tuvix episode. That triggered some things in my personal background. I tried to get over it but I can't.
it's true... time does move slower the deeper you go...
