The moon passes us by 16 times closer than this thing, and it has way more bearing on terrestrial life. To suppose otherwise would be lunacy.

God damn it, getting these folks to stay on topic! It’s like pulling… How do you think she gets out of those, anyway

How could you say that? This is landlord erasure

Momo’s breath probably smells like if a cigarette could fart lmao

He was a latter day Bull Moose. Not bad, Zappa

Shareholders will surely love it when we treat high end professionals like shit

I don’t disagree, it’s just tedious to always be making that point. I need variety

I guess this is their idea of fighting fascism? Thanks dickheads.

Because you’ve been discarded. No further value to shareholders, why spend money explaining anything?

I mean, don’t sell past sold

I did say it was a shitty, distantly earned degree - the proviso stands.

It’s not the first I’ve heard of professionals hating the DSM, the whole of scientific thought exists within capitalism and so its tendencies can’t ever be entirely free of capitalistic slant. Being critical minded and well educated (as you appear to be, if I may say so) is perhaps the best we can do.

Would not have guessed it takes them that long

ADHD is, as I understand it with my shitty, distantly earned BS in psychology, congenital and not acquired. You can’t just “catch” ADHD, your brain was born with a neurochemical issue - not that I understand neuroscience well, but the dopamine isn’t doing its job of keeping your thoughts on target, hence why only immediately rewarding things seem to be possible sometimes.

There are a lot more diagnoses of late, but I’ve read that part of it is the war on drugs making the Rx systematically scarce so it’s just easier to blame people for seeking care rather than addressing the systemic issues. Sort of akin to blaming the consumer for climate change.

TikTok is probably not helping, and it is easy to become addicted. This is a separate matter however.

I know they took away my negative operator, which is the main one I used. The anger is still fresh years later.

It was so good that “googling it” is still in common parlance, even though the phrase has baggage and isn’t used in the same case-closed tones as it once was.

The problem is Bethesda, as usual. Like with their work in Fallout, the script and the deeper meaning of any choices you make in the game are always subservient to their larger view of gameplay - they do not think of the player as a part of any story, they view their customer as a kid bashing action figures together. Any possible combination of action figures being bashed together needs to be valid in support of that. This is why every possible ally will accept you, and no choice ends up feeling like it deeply matters.

Another SHV fan?

But it’s so self-gratifying 😩

The biggest third party in the US, or the biggest snowball in hell? I’ll keep voting for em, but there’s no reason to get excited.
