Imagine telling women who have experienced extreme violence that your solution for them is further violence. I cannot own a gun for my mental health. We can protect everyone by working to prevent violence.

Total tangent here, but I have a lot of cognitive dissonance around Butker. I mean I call him Butt Kicker. He’s an amazing athlete but has gross political ideas and power.

What’s dumber, I was upset to hear Brittany Mahomes passively endorsed Project 2025. I wasn’t terribly surprised that’s her stance, but seeing her confirm it and quickly backtrack with petty bullshit just. Ugh. Meanwhile, our other star players Kelce and Mahomes are keeping their mouths shut as Swift is taking heat. Idfk. Just a bunch of drama that makes me feel like I’m back in high school, but the stakes are much, much higher.

Two friends of mine had perpetrators walk up and empty their clips into them. The smaller friend didn’t make it, but the larger one did miraculously survive with 8 bullets in his torso. I’d be morbidly curious to see if there was research supporting that the extra mass made the difference

you my friend are officially based af, thank you! I’m officially invested and going on a deep dive for this weirdo

Well thank you:) I’ve been thinking of this video through the exchanges: “if the truth is on your side, why lie?” https://youtu.be/CRtSZXS6wzQ?feature=shared

I would appreciate if sources were provided rather than sending me on a wild goose chase or being told essentially “trust me bro”

Do you not also think there’s an issue when we start saying “you can find a couple”? If even one doesn’t have a source but it’s being pushed as fact, I will start thinking the claim maker unreliable.

I really mean no offense, I’ve been trying to search and can’t find anything. I’ve asked chatgpt, Google, YouTube. I am trying to give benefit of the doubt.

That’s cool. I’ll just assume they’re satirical jabs. I certainly don’t know shit about him lol

Maybe they don’t take hot enough showers? I don’t always sweat, but for sure I’ve noticed more from taking hot baths

I tried searching for these quotes cuz I’m dumb and was close to sharing them with friends thinking it was real

Unless you have sources, in case anyone else is curious afaik these aren’t real quotes. Bout got me though, I was like holy shit lol

Ooo I haven’t heard of that term. Fun fact I learned a while ago: something like 90% of people that pick up a guitar will quit within the first year. However, those that stick with it will spend on average $10k over their lives on equipment.

They don’t support birth control because of the potential, though, last I checked. Thank God my lunatic parents at least recognized that was too far

Hm? I’m sure people are trying, and not to say AI won’t be incredibly useful, too. I just think there’s quite a few avenues to go down with it.

This is why I’m comfortable looking into soft sciences like social work or mental health. Ain’t gon replace therapists with AI anytime soon.

It depends for me. The labels aren’t really useful if I don’t know the person. One kid I interacted with over a few months said enough in line with fascism that I call him that. Someone just telling me they’re communist, anarchist, liberal isn’t enough to really get their actual beliefs, given how much overlap and misuse of the terms there is. I will generally vibe with a more left leaning person, of course, so if any of those labels are used I’m like, cool, we’ll probably have good conversations. Even conservatives I’m opening up to. Republicans? My God. I blame my mental illnesses on that brain rot.

NPR* has literally saved some of my family from going completely batshit as the only other options in some areas is the bat shit right wing talk radio.

I’ve been told it’s a safety concern because people can get hit

Ok. I guess you think I’m being an elitist, so I just asked an LLM “What are the most popular concepts in psychology understood by the overall population, and what metrics do you use to determine that?” Chopping down the responses, I got: Cognitive Dissonance, Confirmation Bias, Personality Types (like Myers Briggs), Freud’s Psychoanalysis, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, Behaviorism, IQ and Intelligence Testing, Positive Reinforcement, Depression and Anxiety, and Mindfulness and Meditation.

That’s based on search engines trends, social media mentions, media representation, surveys and polls, academic citations and book sales.

A few of those are outdated concepts, but it takes time for the general public to catch up. So, I’m not sure this supports how people in general might be skeptical of the field. It’s healthy to have some skepticism, but I was referring to people that will take one example and act like it discredits the whole field. That is some poor critical thinking that I doubt many actually believe. The same people I’ve argued with on sex/gender will also gladly talk about the benefits of some of the stuff the LLM brought up, too. There’s just a lot of societal indoctrination and sexist reasoning to try to discredit that specific theory.

Sorry I’m going a bit into AuDHD mode here. I like talking about this stuff but if it’s too much I’ll stop

And you use Ted talks to see what’s most popular??

Where are you getting the idea that’s one of the most widely known findings? I’m genuinely asking, I hadn’t heard about it in years.
