blarzgh posted:Yeah, but it would make your dad happy to make your grandfather happy, so I'd go do it. Here, honey, time to meet a relative who will probably be dead in days. Why didn't we ever see him before he was dying, mom? Because he disowned me for escaping a husband who beat me! That seems like a reasonable thing to drag a nine year old through. Look back to the previous post where visiting an abusive, lovely relative tore that guy to pieces. Sure did a lot for that guy in the long run! She's not punishing him by not showing up, she's avoiding punishing herself. If there was literally any indication that he wanted to do more than just see her child, that might be different. Or if he didn't get that entire side of the family to gang up on her and push for this. Or even if it was just HER who he wanted to see, I MIGHT say to go for it just to make her dad happy. But this is dragging her kid into old family dirt. Don't do that to her kid.  What do people think are going to happen at these "I poo poo on you and never regretted it, now be sad I'm dying" moments anyway? Some heartwarming reunion full of love and apologies for past wrongs and forgiveness? No, it's an awkward, lovely, exhausting, uncomfortable, nerve-wracking few minutes of being reminded why you cut that person out of your life in the first place. It's one more stab in your heart before they die. Yeah, that'll do something for her personally in the long run. That is, it will erase any potential source of regret for severing in the first place.

It's not like he said he has friends in other parts of the country or anything, he just "doesn't see the point" to having friends. He "doesn't do" friendships. He is not interested in having Any Friends. Do you not see how that poo poo's kinda weird?

Solefald posted:It's not that uncommon surely? I've known of plenty of people like that (predominantly men come to think of it). I do question how lonely they must feel but it just seems kinda normal and not an issue at all? There is nothing common about having literally zero friends and not wanting friendship in any capacity, no. There's an entire DSM-V disorder where that's the main feature. (Schizoid personality disorder) Humans are social animals. They naturally want contact with others. It may express differently, but ZERO friends is not one of the normal ways that expresses, no. EDIT: Really, there is no evidence of wrongdoing, just potential mental weirdness. I would be on his side if he didn't express himself in the actual scariest way I could think of.

Peaceful Anarchy posted:This guy had a girlfriend and gets along with his family and coworkers, so even Dr. Sociopath has social interactions and the barebones of a social network. He said, again, that he "sees no point" to having friends. He doesn't want the "obligation" of having to care about other humans. (like god, they tell you their problems and everything! That was a thing he pointed out, he doesn't want to be obligated to do anything with other people, like listen to their problems) That isn't... anything about what you said, really. That's Creepy. That's a human who I am not convinced cares about other humans. The most broken dude I've ever known got along well with his family and coworkers and had a girlfriend which lead to marriage. He had friends, but they were all on a superficial level. I never saw him be anything but calm, disappointed at worst. That still ended with him trying to strangle his pregnant wife. She got painted as the crazy one by all his family. He didn't give a single poo poo about the kid other than trying to get custody out of spite, and he got it easily. It's easy to spot the ones who don't get along with family and coworkers and who can't get girlfriends, but some terrifying people can do all those things fine. It's like saying "Well, if I'm a bad person, why am I not in jail?" Well, if they can do these normal social things, how can they be scary? EASILY, it turns out.

Peaceful Anarchy posted:Yeah, I agree about this guy. I thought the conversation had moved more generally to people who have no close friends since that's what Solefald was talking about. If your definition of literally no friends is strict then even this guy doesn't count. If your definition of no friends is loose enough to include this guy then I'd hesitate to say that his lack of friends is itself evidence of mental disorder, though perhaps a warning sign to delve deeper. His words and reactions on the other hand do point towards him having deeper mental issues. Yeah, I... Okay, I think there's some problem between Weird and Bad. Is wanting no close friends weird? Yes. Is it bad? Not necessarily. Even if it is indicative of a mental illness, it's not necessarily bad, because mental illnesses don't make people instantly scary potential criminals. Humans naturally want to be around others. Not wanting that is weird, but it is not necessarily bad. You have to pay attention to the details around it to tell the difference. Like this guy who might as well just be a red flag with arms and legs.

Hell, I'd be happy that my skeleton was getting a new lease of life...so to speak. And then there's stories like the woman whose mother's ashes were mixed with those of other people in a crematorium that was working unlawfully. She was utterly broken-hearted because now her mother's remains can't be at a certain shrine. She said that she thinks her mother will never truly be at rest. That poo poo haunts her. Some people take that poo poo seriously, and it doesn't take any effort to respect that. Just don't be a dick. And she even mentioned she's in a foreign country! It could be somewhere where they specifically are really serious about that kind of thing.

LadyPictureShow posted:I’m curious if you know of any articles or could recommend a book discussing medical anthropology, because that’s honestly pretty interesting. I’ve been on antidepressants/mood stabilizers on and off since my teens (regularly for the past seven or so years, but with a lot of switching/titrating etc) and a lot of the time it felt like my doctors didn’t actually give a poo poo about figuring out the root problem and focused on ‘well, if you don’t feel the meds are working, let’s just increase the dose/add a supplemental secondary med’, sometimes with disastrous results. You might need a better psychiatrist. Mine always is very careful to determine what's my brain being broken and what's a reaction to a problem in my life.

Hey, what if there's an "off chance" five years from now he just decides he doesn't like her and goes for another woman? Life's too short, so take no chances and never date anyone!

Obviously the only thing that can truly satisfy a bisexual is a threesome relationship with one of each sex. There is no other solution. That's what bisexual means in my tiny caveman brain, not that they just are fine with either sex in a relationship.Modus Pwnens posted:I'm super uncomfortable with shaming people for not wanting to have sex with certain people. Like if someone says they don't want to date someone who's bi, that's their right. Saying that no one straight should ever date someone bi is where you cross the line. But bodily autonomy comes first for me. Is that weird? 100% not being facetious here or trying to fish a certain response or anything like that. It's literally the only reason she has. "You would be okay with having sex with dudes? I am not okay with that." There's no way to spin it that isn't homophobia and/or absurd jealousy. I'm not saying to make her gently caress the guy, but I'm fine with calling her out on it. If she thinks she isn't homophobic, she should examine her reaction to that information. Is she wrong, or is she absurdly jealous of having to "compete" with a wider playing field?

lemon-lyme disease posted:According to my wife, who’s worked at a humane society for more than a decade, there’s not really any such thing as a “no-kill” shelter - just ones where they don’t impose time limits on how long an adoptable animal can be up for adoption without going home with anyone. (I THINK this is what she said. I’ll have to double-check.) There are absolutely no-kill shelters, they just aren't state-run humane societies. There's one near me that specifically takes at-risk-of-euthanasia animals from shelters to take care of and rehome, even if they have big physical problems or are poorly socialized. That's their entire focus, though.

lemon-lyme disease posted:The humane society my wife works at isn’t state-run, just state overseen? I assumed they all were though, since animals are involved. Yeah, I said it wrong, I meant like the big, main area shelters? I don't really know how to say that concisely. The ones that are likely to have the highest traffic just can't handle that, it's usually an auxiliary shelter of some kind that specifically caters to that kind of thing. Animal Ark Rescue near me takes in cats and dogs no matter how ill or injured, pregnant, or ill-socialized they may be. If the lady gets pregnant and the cat still isn't dead, there really is probably somewhere they can take the cat where they'll be taken care of.

MF_James posted:Ok, so your point is to say gently caress it, don't try to change because not everyone is on board yet? Yes, animals are still getting euthanized but people are trying to change that. Obviously the shelter I'm talking about that takes animals who'd be euthanized from all area shelters and managed to happily announce that they made the area no-kill by managing to get up a capacity where they can take any animal sent to them doesn't exist. Nothing can ever be fixed, so let everything die! Baronjutter posted:Yeah that's the main barrier for a lot of adoptions, the animals stuck in the system are often there for a reason, behavioral issues due to being raised by horrible people or no one at all. They're unadoptable to anyone who isn't some sort of professional animal behavioral therapist or whatever. Euthanize the poor guys and put the resources into literal death squads that euthanize people who don't spay/neuter their pets. there are services to supply "barn cats", poorly socialized cats who will do better just chillin in a barn and mousing. Some shelters also just work on fixing feral cat colonies. They don't have to be adopted out, but they won't reproduce. There are services to take troubled dogs and give them "jobs", try to work out their behavioral problems. Maybe they'll never end up in a home as a pet, but they'll have a job out there somewhere where they can work out their problems and be happy. I know about the latter because my piano teacher got a dog that was incapable of understanding the concept of aggression. It was all Play even when she destroyed the house and bit people. Turns out the person she got it from had been falsifying documents and dangerously inbreeding their dogs. The dogs, that one included, got sent to a literal farm where they worked with troubled dogs. It's not an adoption center, they take dogs that cannot expect to ever be properly homed for whatever reason. And the shelter that I got my cat from does the barn thing. Here she is, hiding in the bathtub to scare me when I pee.

Khorne posted:Did you even read the post? It's the most entitled, dramatic garbage I've been subjected to today, and my reddit account got spammed by bitcoin true believers because I called them the beanie babies of the 2010s. I suspect you are the one who didn't read the post. That was like a tiny fraction of their argument. He literally argues for why it would be just for her ill mom to be deported. (Ignoring that Just does not necessarily mean Lawful, which is neither here nor there, it's just a crappy thing to say about someone's loved ones.) He showed a complete lack of understanding why someone would worry about her ill mother who needs care being deported. ("You can live without her!" Yeah, the opposite isn't true, shithead.) "But you need to ~understand~ why someone would want your mom to be deported" + "Why am I working so hard to get us an apartment together if you'd leave if your mom got deported????" (Which isn't "bailing", it's taking care of her loving mom.) = Someone who has zero empathy for his potential future mother-in-law or his wife. Also he's willing to get into giant, blow-up arguments over terminology when he claims he agrees with her, which is just deeply tedious behavior at best. The irrational response to being really pissed, telling him to stop texting and then getting annoyed when he did, would be a problem normally. It is a tiny lesson compared to the real learning experience for her, that her boyfriend is a tedious shithead who doesn't care about her mom or her feelings. He doesn't even seem to get that he did anything wrong here, he just ended the conversation by saying he was done with it. Christ, chronic Devil's Advocates are the worst. Why do some people think yelling "I am on your side" will immediately make people happy to pointlessly argue? If someone's getting upset or angry and it's about something you agree with, maybe you're just being an rear end in a top hat.

The owner kept letting it just roam wild and it would murder anything it got near and bite anyone. Turns out you should not own a loving Australian Shepherd if you are a single dad wit one kid. He managed to keep the dog out of animal control calls by going on about how it was all his son had left since his mom left them. What I'm saying is a sob story, all the people who've been bitten probably got hit by a sob story and thus didn't report it.
