I've done a bunch of poo poo blackout drunk, no memory of it at all. Got scars in my face as reminders. Guess that is different tho since those are memories that were never stored to begin with. Anyway, memories are just a bunch of atoms in your brain. They can be wrong.

My resentment of 'share your pain' etc comes more from the media that what (presumably) actual therapists do. There's now a trend that people have to be open and honest about their mental health socially, particularly on social media. I honestly see facebook posts from old school acquaintances going "well it has been a tough week but I am so glad to be through it with the help of..." If they want to post that, fine, but it's going to become a fashion or expectation. Driven of course by celebrities and advertisers who are in powerful, wealthy positions and won't be harmed by a little oversharing of their manufactured drama.

You’re actively explaining to the thread why the problem you’re mad at already doesn’t exist outside of charlatans and bad fiction. it exists and licensed therapists do this. I call it "time traveling". Some therapists are just absolute psychos who think a patient can sherlock holmes their way out of past trauma by going back to it and analyzing every detail... and they do it every session. Many people who have a good and helpful therapist had to churn through a few duds before finding someone that helps them feel less awful. edit: i really appreciate Shibawanko for mentioning it because it's a huge problem when most people's expectation is "this is going to help!" and then get traumatized and don't know any better than to ditch that therapist and find a better one (which surely exists) Jokerpilled Drudge has a new favorite as of 13:41 on Jul 11, 2021 |

astrology isn't the same as Christianity because astrology doesn't have actual rules you have to follow or you go to hell, and there isn't a huge astrology power structure in society that lobbies the government to do horrible poo poo and shelters old creeps who diddle kids

I’ve known a few people who use being an Aries or whatever as an excuse for their lovely behavior, or that they were justified in being an rear end in a top hat to someone because they were a different sign. Being an rear end in a top hat isn’t exclusive to astrology but that’s been my experience with it so there you go

Was there really a whole page and a half about how astrology is good but what about big bad boogeyman Christianity and also you are a misogynist if you don't think it's real and also it's better than warhammer and anime combined I will say there is actually something supernatural about warhammer because the people I've known who are really into it absolutely could not afford to buy all the figures and scenery they had. It's like the loaves and the fishes except with little metal soldiers

People who say that criticism of astrology is misogyny are not trying to make astrology better. They’re trying to make women worse. They’re using reverse psychology to get the listener to associate an innocent group with something disreputable. It’s like if I told you that you can’t hate beans in chili because that’s a distinctly African-American take on the dish. You’re not thinking “wtf beans in chili is cool & good now”. You’re thinking “Huh. They do chili wrong”. And also that I just made that up, which I did. Platystemon has a new favorite as of 16:38 on Jul 11, 2021 |

I had a job with about four people who were obsessed with astrology, and a few friends of friends. I remember being at a local carnival and spending over an hour being harangued by someone who wouldn't take "I'm not interested" as an answer (i think that started after I went on one of those "guess your weight, age, and birth month" games and the attendant got all three wrong)

I think goons are pro- or neutral about astrology now because they used to be virulently anti-astrology, and being reflexively contrarian to their 2012 opinions is a key part of the nu-Goon ideology.

That's what my grandparents keep it at and it's my least favorite part about going to visit them. It's not "hot", but it's not comfortable to me. Or even them apparently - they constantly complain that it feels hot in here and put on the fans.
