Any black woman in any government waiting room is definitely waiting for welfare. Even if it's the DMV.

That's a common "argument" against helping beggars in Sweden nowadays. "LOOK THEY HAVE CELLPHONES. CLEARLY THEY HAVE MONEY FOR FOOD HOUSING AND THE REST OF IT".

I'm not a native english speaker, but when he says "been sat at the computer", isn't that like someone put you there? Like your parents put you in the chair and ordered you to play games? In that case, I'm pretty sure it's for children.

Eh, the defense made a fairly compelling argument that it could have been an accident and she just went "gently caress it, party time!" It could have been murder, but I think it could have been a opportune accident. Either way she should never be a mother again, and I am glad she is poor and will always be poor over it.

That looks more like a hospital waiting room to me. Granted it says a lot about somebody that just assumes by default a black person in a waiting room is waiting for welfare. Sorry but not every black person in America gets food stamps, bucko. There are many buildings with lobbies in places you'll have to wait like, well, dentist's offices, primary care providers, the DMV, driver's license places, office buildings. Hell the lady might have been waiting for an interview for all we know. But nope, black person waiting! Must be welfare.

I'm just trying to figure out who took the picture. They're in the same waiting room. I certainly hope they snapped that shot using a lovely Android phone while wearing durable low-cost apparel from the Sears Outlet store and hauling their belongings in a tasteful hobo bindle.

Also that's literally exactly what the waiting room for my passport office and my DMV look like, except more crowded and gross. Those labor regulations posters are everywhere.

The tumblr PSA attitude that feels the need to educate everybody on how to deal with mental health problems - patients and their surroundings alike - is more than a little insulting. Sometimes, people with certain mental illnesses and disorders (especially ones that can alter your focus like autism) do get caught in a focus loop where they have trouble remembering to pull away from what they're focusing on. In some cases, mental illness (even depression) can alter someone's perception of time so things get away from them easily. It's a decent post with good intentions and it's not even really condescending. It's more condescending to assume people who have trouble with some things on this list ("Oh, I forgot my meds" or "I have a bad habit of slumping over" or "Remember to stretch" or "Remember to drink more water") are unable to live by themselves or are childish as some people in this thread have suggested. les enfants Terrific! has a new favorite as of 18:20 on Jan 21, 2016 |

Honestly this dude has always stayed pretty quiet on Facebook, usually just posting interesting or weird pictures he finds on the Internet with no comment. This week though he seems like he's lost his mind. A few more comments from his original post, I guess his cousin or whoever he was calling out decided to show up.   And another post from earlier this week:  He was definitely a stoner in school who was a little rough around the edges but he was always so sweet to me.

This week though he seems like he's lost his mind. It looks like your acquaintance probably has a paranoia-related mental illness, which would explain why he seems to just sort of have breaks where he is skeptical of how genuine everyone is and also of the New World Order or whatever. If you know somebody who knows him better and might be able to get him help you could ask them to try to find a psychologist or social worker/therapist if he doesn't have one (it seems like a lot of his friends are used to this behavior so it also wouldn't surprise me if he was already diagnosed). I have a couple friends with paranoia variants of BPD and it is particularly challenging. I hope he can get some help though. TheRecogScene has a new favorite as of 18:25 on Jan 21, 2016 |

I assume you mean Bipolar disorder (BD) and not Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) as there is no paranoia variant of BPD. The relationship insecurity/lability in BPD is different from paranoia associated with psychosis and delusional disorder. Sorry to correct but BPD gets tossed around these forums incorrectly all the time, and as a clinical researcher I find it pretty irksome. That being said, please do contact somebody who might be in a better position to help your friend get whatever assistance he may need.

Goosed it. posted:I assume you mean Bipolar disorder (BD) and not Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) as there is no paranoia variant of BPD. The relationship insecurity/lability in BPD is different from paranoia associated with psychosis and delusional disorder. I actually did mean borderline personality disorder, but you're right that relationship instability/insecurity isn't quite the same as paranoia found in schizophrenia, for example. I was generalizing because I'm not an actual psychologist (yet - I'm in grad school) and didn't want to diagnose anyone, and figured that the layman nature of the forum was maybe better suited to that kind of generalization. The way he treats people in the first set of posts looks like BPD instability (which I've seen loads of) but the second is more like what I assume paranoid schizophrenia is (I have no personal or professional experience with it). I can definitely appreciate your desire to step in to correct ignorance though! Distinctions are important and we have them for a reason.  Would you be able to upload the original image at full resolution for us? I tried to google for it but couldn't find it (I just now realized I could crop and reverse-image search it I guess but I'm on my phone and don't know how well that would work). I think it's hilarious and could get a lot of mileage out of it. TheRecogScene has a new favorite as of 20:26 on Jan 21, 2016 |

Fashionable Jorts posted:Generally the fees on a land line are more expensive than a pay as you go cell phone. There's a pretty good scam that's been going on in the UK for years. Like you guys we have toll free numbers, but we also have non-geographical location numbers which were designed back in the 80s or 90s (maybe even earlier) so you could call from anywhere in the country and itd be considered a local call rather than a long distance if you were to call the real unpublished number. So far so good. Cell phone carriers decided that they weren't going to include these or toll free numbers as part of the minute bundles you get, so if you ever try call a company you either have to try find the unpublished number, or pay through the rear end at something like 70c a minute to call them to wait on hold for 30 minutes.

Facecbook is apparently pretty good at helping identify mental issues; a friend of mine's brother was discovered to have a paranoiac disorder despite being fairly subdued in personal interactions, because he kept posting very casually-worded screeds touching on Secret Service visits, being monitored from a car by Obama himself, and in particular blaming my friend for "causing" all of it by passing along secret information about who was a lizard person and who wasn't. It was pretty easy to put together by then.

When I completed my rotation in psychiatry,, a therapist was telling his patients essentially "triggers are yours to identify and manage. No one else's. You can share them with people who are close to you, who you really trust. And you can ask someone you love and care about to avoid behaviors that trigger you, but it's up to them whether they will. You ultimately have no control over their behavior. And if a complete stranger tells you their triggers, that's probably a person with really poor boundaries that you should avoid."

Nobody has a problem with Irish pride, German pride, etc. White people are lucky enough to, for the most part, know their national origins and have family history and sometimes physical artifacts to tie them to those cultures. This is also--again, for the most part--true of "Mexican" pride, and the "Asian" pride is an artifact that can be broken down to specific Asian nations of origin. Muslim pride is religious pride, which Christians demonstrate in spades without retribution. Quoting this cause I'm sure I'll need it next month.

Maybe somebody will comb this thread or a later version of it for images in a textbook someday - if you want to study the worst, we're one of the best. It's a baby field but it's coming. Companies are very interested in stuff like automatic sentiment analysis of online comments about their products. The world of science moves slowly but there is more and more research in fields like Psychology and Linguistics that focuses on these kinds of issues. A classmate of mine is doing an internship on automatic detection of cyberbullying which involves building an Irony Detector (which I think is really rad). There absolutely are already people with a PhD in trolling! It's an important topic, since the line between 'just trolling trololol' and aggressive cyberstalking and harassment is very fine. Taking forensic linguistics as an example , how do you distinguish groomers and rapists from all the 'normal' trolls who just happen to like threatening rape and talking about diddling kiddies recreationally? How can you tell just by text whether someone in a children's chatroom is an actual child or a grown man pretending to be a child?
