I’ve never been so drunk as to make a move on a bartender, and I’ve been destructively drunk

What the shit‽ Why would anyone assume otherwise‽

“I am not my feelings and have control of my actions beyond them” is nothing like disassociating

Why not both

Ok cool, you’re absolutely not taking my argument as I made it. I was acknowledging that it’s bad for several things it’s bad for (implying it’s commonly prescribed for those things) but also acknowledging that it’s worth accepting that it’s good for what it’s good for. Maybe it’s bad for some people who have problems it’s good for. But I’ve seen people who desperately need the skills it teaches parrot the rhetoric of it being useless and harmful before so I do feel a desire to speak up in its defense as well.

Hopefully you’ll get what you need, regardless of what it is. And yeah, poor people disproportionately need financial assistance more than training to see cognitive distortions.

It’s also that what you want out of the friend is not for them to run away or apologize profusely, it’s to own up, apologize, and try to be better next time

Ok but it’s great for what it’s great for. CBT can’t fix poverty, but it can fix a tendency to let minor setbacks spiral into full blown panic attacks or an inability to ask loved ones for help.

Plenty of problems aren’t the sort therapy can help with despite them having huge mental effects. But plenty of people have problems therapy is actively good for. In the same way therapy won’t fix your (rational) economic anxiety, if you torpedo every relationship you’re in communism won’t fix you, but DBT might.

I’m more hoping to give him the Akhenaten treatment

What the fuck‽

True lol, she’s fucking lived

He should’ve accepted that he was fake and gay

Holy crap that’s a firm endorsement, I hope lawmakers follow its recommendations

Well yeah, it’s the smart thing to do and prevents runaway inflation, but it’s unpopular because it takes money away so he’s gonna push for the opposite

I can confirm, I’m a mammal who’s occasionally been attacked by great tits

Looking for a chosen one who’s got just one

Then fucking punish him! It’s unconstitutional what he’s doing. I bet it’d be a lot easier to get Republicans to win if they had a damn spine against this

How ADHD feels

Well that’s just not true. It’s merely the author’s interpretation. Media analysis should extend beyond authoral intent.

In her defense for some reason there just aren’t many records of us in 1940s Germany /s

In case anyone’s unaware, that famous photo of nazis burning books, yeah those are records of trans people among other texts on queer sexology

Here, I’ll give up all means of production that I personally own and aren’t for personal use.

Done.

(Ok I’m not giving up my retirement account until we have an effective pension system because I’m not an idiot, but other than that done)
