Can’t do contact tracing for the fucking virus though.

I swear to god they either don’t want to remind people the capability to do shit like this already exists here, or the pandemic has been so beneficial to the bourgeoisie that they have negative incentive to control it

Oh shit oh fuck

Not just mods, but literally the same mod.

Participation in good faith and being truthful, accurate, and factual, is when you both sides Nazism and then delete every response to you

Ummm 🤔 sorry sweaty, but taking an antibiotic is mass 😬 murder

So is stepping on ants which is why I don’t leave my house

I don’t think it’s necessarily that conscious, but rather that lot of white people live in perpetual fear of being on the receiving end of what their ancestors did to people of color

From my experience growing up around chuds, there’s a lot of focus on “reverse racism” and fears of race riots, etc

Any mention of “white” by a person of color immediately causes fear

Still blows my mind that the chapo subreddits got nuked but shit like this is a daily and acceptable occurrence on that site

The free market will uhhhh work it out because uhhh parents will be mad and give their next child a different baby food brand after the first one turned their kid into a Q Anon cultist by age 5

Because Trump got bored and thought Guaidó was a cuck so he dropped him, and now the establishment neolibs are back in and intend on doing imperialism “correctly”

“ In his book, "The Room Where It Happened," Bolton writes this of Trump's private feelings about Guaidó, after throwing the full diplomatic weight of the U.S. government behind him:

"He thought Guaidó was 'weak,' as opposed to Maduro, who was 'strong.'” "By spring, Trump was calling Guaidó the 'Beto O'Rourke of Venezuela,' hardly the sort of compliment an ally of the United States should expect." "It was far from helpful but typical of how Trump carelessly defamed those around him, as when he began blaming me for the opposition's failure to overthrow Maduro." In Axios' interview, Trump described his former national security adviser as a "nutjob" who may be the "dumbest human being on Earth" for persistently supporting the Iraq War. ”

Personally I don’t like to get out of jams, and greatly prefer fucking the sticky delicious jam until the volcel police take me to jail

I’ve seen him cause struggle sessions here over this topic before (right-left anti establishment unity; not alex jones specifically), and he didn’t get upvoted when explaining then either, or now. I think people just thought he was doing a bit at first

Lmao dude if you’re feeling hopeless in the ability to shake establishment here, do what I do and put your faith in the third world to rise when America is weak and force the hand from the outside, but seeing soc dems as a greater or equal threat in comparison to fascism was a mistake made once already that got the left murdered in Germany, and I’m not sure why you think siding with the right here against libs would go any better.

It doesn’t matter if you think the bourgeoisie would want it to happen. If enough chuds in the military and militias decide to take power and the police are already chuds, it’s just going to happen.

What do you even think happens if the nonexistent left here helped facilitate a power vacuum?

I don’t remember the OP of that copypasta’s name offhand, but they were a great shitposting account that even had a post on the prolife subreddit about making a game where you’d play as a fetus trying not to get aborted, and they were trying to take suggestions in the comments

Oh the name was dennismiller2024 i guess; someone said it higher up here

I can’t put :rat-salute: in the post body, and refuse to be silenced

This, but it’s 5am to 9am and actually based

The Intercept pulling a Warren and triangulating themselves into obscurity.

They never had the chuds, the libs hate them because of stories like the allegations against Biden, and now they’re going off with Vice-esque bullshit and losing what left they had

Enjoy the Warren stans I guess?

Glad to help, and thanks!

Sure. I think the easiest way for me to format this in my mind is bullet points about my experiences, and I want to mention the caveat that I’ve always wanted a bit more from therapy than I’ve gotten (I want something more rigorous than I’ve had), but my first experience was still genuinely helpful overall.

Therapist 1: -Listened very intently and would often take notes. He made a point to pause me for a second if needed, and it really showed me he cared -Referenced the notes from previous appointments to make sure he’d get things right most of the time, and to refresh himself on points and descriptions of past events I made before -Took time to really think about and engage with what I had said after I said it. Wouldn’t just offer feel good platitudes, but would instead actually think sometimes out loud for a moment before reaching the actual suggestion. -Came up with concrete changes I could make. Even small things like exercise to help with anxiety/depression were more than just “do it”, and he’d follow up on if I had been doing it, why not if I hadn’t, and how to get myself to do it, etc. -Genuinely cared. More so than just being “nice” he actually seemed invested with my development -Conversations more often than not had purpose, and he would actually try and get me to be on track if I ended up being more conversational than giving him something to work with. Felt like he valued the time. -Recognized what was beyond his scope and helped me get additional help. Wasn’t perfect about this, and the other therapists I had did this too, but he was better at this than the others. -Unfortunately after his wife died he was less helpful (understandable), so I left

Therapist 2: -Never took notes -Constantly forgot things I had said in previous visits and would frequently need correction on things he partially remembered. My previous therapist would ask me things he wasn’t completely sure he remembered, but this guy would just say things that were wrong and it would be like “oh, right” after being corrected far too often -Just gave platitudes as advice most of the time. Nothing felt personalized. -Advice never really had structure. Like, I know hobbies are helpful for depression, but how about helping me make a concrete plan and making sure I’m trying? -Even though he was “nice” I felt like he wasn’t invested in me, and I was just paying to talk to a friendly wall that would dispense common wisdom for money -It took him probably around 10 visits to point out that my self talk is really really negative. I was dumbfounded it took him that long to say that

Therapist 3: -She took notes, and made some effort to reference them, but it rarely felt like past issues were dug into and connected to the present -Way too conversational without direction. Things were more of a personal conversation that I could have with a sibling than something constructive and unique to a professional -Sometime would just get totally off topic and we’d end up talking about life more than my issues. Partially my fault, but my first therapist would have stopped this -She seemed like she wanted to help, but she didn’t feel qualified to do more than have a normal conversation that just happened to be personal to me

For therapist 4, I think I’m going to be more demanding about the kind of therapist I’m looking for, the kind of issues I have, and what I want to get out of it. I think I should probably put in more effort on my end to journal (audio/writing) a bit here and there, and to keep them and me focused on my issues and a solution/approach during the session. I think a timer on my phone for every 15 minutes or so might be a good idea to keep track of time.

Hope that helps a bit

The constant ableist slurs make that an easy narrative to sell to people tbh

American school kids are basically going through trauma factories

• fear of being shot and having to do shooter drills,

• sometimes actually having a shooter and all the related terror,

• being forced to expose themselves to a deadly virus which they could carry home and kill their families with (talk about survivors guilt on steroids)

Not to mention all the cliques, social media recording their mistakes forever, and numerous other sources of agony.

Being a schoolkid right now must be fucking horrible
