loquacius posted:I've talked about this a bunch of times by now, but I once had a job where I was paid way too much money to do basically nothing and I liked it for a while but it eventually turned me super depressed I was in a similar situation for a while and yeah, it wasn't exactly emotionally fulfilling - I guess what I take issue with is the assumption that the dude is wasting his life because he doesn't have a Real Job (tm). gently caress that noise. Dude's working at a library, he probably likes books, for all I know he's reading all the time and expanding his mind and poo poo. You can have a decent life that doesn't involve a paycheck, man. In conclusion: gently caress the system, guillotine the bourgeoisie, and Bernie would have won

Runaktla posted:All that said yes I'm a little insensitive compared to some. I'm not sure that the fact that certain groups were treated harshly means I can't mock them if they act over the top. I'm gonna pretend you're actually trying to be reasonable and just haven't actually thought this poo poo through instead of posturing for Internet Points, because I'm just that kind of naive. So: When you say something along the lines of "I don't have a problem with gay people as long as they don't act all over the top about it," what you're really saying - whether consciously or not, whether intentionally or not - is "I don't have a problem with gay people as long as I don't have to think about them being gay, as long as their gayness is entirely invisible to me." And when you say that, you have a problem with gay people. It's called "erasure," the removal of evidence of a group's existence, and it's a lovely thing to do, because the message it sends - and, again, this may not be your intent but it's the message that comes across regardless of intent - is that people should stop acting in the way they feel comfortable, people should stop expressing their identity, for your comfort. And any time you're saying that your comfort is more important than someone else's identity you're being an rear end, whether you want to or not. No amount of "I have gay friends" or "I've represented gay people in court" is going to change that. It's a lovely thing to do, and you should probably stop - or at least spend some time thinking about why you do it. What made that particular professor's "flamboyance" so repugnant to you that you felt the need to mock him for it? Why do you give a poo poo? What possible impact could it have on your life? Maybe spend some time thinking about that kind of thing and how it comes across to other people instead of trying to absolve yourself of any possible responsibility by saying "I'm a little insensitive" like that makes it okay. Just a suggestion.

When my aunt got married, one of my family members (my grandmother's brother's daughter, I forget exactly what that makes her in relation to me) was asked, "do you know the bride?" And she said "yes, she's my cousin." "Oh, then have you met the groom?" "Yes, he's my cousin." She was a cousin on her father's side; he was on her mother's, so there was no consanguinity. But it was still funny.

Jastiger posted:Because ogling a person doesn't case them , harm. Now if someome wants to preserve it, now it's a crime?! Smdh Invasion of privacy is harm, my dude Look, it's like this. A person has the right to decide who they want to let see them naked and who they don't want to let see them naked. If they're in a position where they are clearly choosing not to let someone see them naked - say, by entering a changing room, which is a place expressly designed to provide them some privacy - and you decide to circumvent that and see them naked anyway, you have eliminated their right to decide who gets to see them naked. You've made them less. You've openly declared that your desires are more important than their choices. And that's lovely. Also illegal. Stop filming girls in the changing room, Jastiger.

420 SWAGLORD posted:I am more interested in your willpower-free depression cure friend, I don't have pm's and feel something like that would be massively helpful to the fesser/general SA readership anyhow I don't think anyone would say willpower is irrelevant to fighting depression; however, the thing about saying "Something no one ever wants to talk about with depression is willpower. In 2018 depression is a disease and your only way out is medication and/or therapy, but actually the secret is willpower" is - and I don't think it's intentional, for the record - that the unspoken implication is "you would be better if you had more willpower, boy it's a shame that you don't have any." Like, when I was first coming to grips with the idea that my doctor had told me "yeah, you have a problem with depression" and trying to explain that to my friends and family - and this was back in the late '90s, and people weren't exactly as aware of the problem as they are today - I heard it again and again. "You just have to suck it up and deal." "You've got to power through this." "Just dig deep and overcome this poo poo." Meanwhile I was having thoughts of self-harm almost every day and hitting genuine suicidal ideation at least once a month; it was taking every ounce of my energy to bother to eat, and every time someone said something about willpower to me my initial response was to think something along the lines of "motherfucker I am not dead that should be all the proof you need that I've got some willpower. I struggle with this poo poo every day and I haven't opened my wrists yet, what the gently caress more do you want from me you gently caress?" And then I would say none of that out loud and go to bed in the early afternoon because I was eating, like, a Pop-Tart a day and that was it. It was not a fun time in my life. I got better, mostly. My point is, no one with depression issues needs to hear "hey man, just use some willpower," because we are. It's just not working as well for us as it is for other people. That doesn't mean it's not important, even critical, to dealing with those issues; that doesn't mean it's not important. It just means that the implication - an implication that probably isn't intentional but which comes across anyway - is that we don't already know about willpower, like it's some arcane secret that we just never considered, when honestly it's something depressed people are using as best they can every day. (oh, and for the record - I don't think you're a bad person for talking about it or any poo poo like that, you're asking good and reasonable questions, we're cool, man) E: also sorry for yet another post on a topic some people are clearly not digging, but it's kind of important to me, is all

Ghostnuke posted:a tattoo is in no way legally binding lol This tat wasn't binding, but the hospital's ethics board decided to honor it anyway; according to the New England Journal of Medicine, though, the tattoo "produced more confusion than clarity". In the current state of affairs it looks as though a DNR tattoo isn't binding, but will tend to keep doctors from using heroic lifesaving measures while the paperwork for your actual DNR order (which you should damned well have if you're considering a DNR tat) is found.

Dear ICE Hot Tip Goon: No one would yell about you "triggering the Spanish speakers." They'd yell about you being an rear end in a top hat. Hope that helps. (I am operating under the assumption that this confession, like all confessions that aren't painfully obvious, is real. Mostly because the last Anonymous Confessions Thread turned to poo poo after everyone stopped discussing the feshes and just went "nope, fake" to every single one, that was less interesting than this thread has been)

Shiki Dan posted:I think Mr. ICE snitch is a little too on the nose on certain points to be anything but another bad goon Creative Writing attempt (hint CC goons, stupid assholes aren't usually self-aware that they are stupid assholes...take a lesson from the Reddit thread), but the point is that people like that DO exist in the real world and so it's still acceptable to respond and analyze the post as if they were actually. Oh, it's entirely possible that ICE Snitch Goon is a creative writing exercise; I just don't care that much. The last thread turned into "confessions are posted, someone (usually Jastiger IIRC) calls bullshit, thread spends a page arguing over whether calls of bullshit were plausible while confession gets ignored, repeat" and it was dull as hell; it's more interesting and fun IMHO to just suspend disbelief, pretend they're all written in earnest, and actually talk about the confessions rather than whether or not an idiosyncrasy in the writing style indicates a falsification or whatever. Criticizing the story is way more fun than criticizing the writing, is what I'm getting at.

Neutrino posted:I can't imagine why the law would say that. Even in an uncontrolled intersection drivers have to yield to whomever is in the intersection first, whether it is a car, speeding truck or a pedestrian. If the pedestrian was crossing illegally, I can sort of understand but it doesn't sound like that was the case. Even so, I always find it hard to understand having an accident even if you are in the right. A skilled driver would have seen the ped and avoided them. If a driver didn't see them then the question has to be asked, is the driver fit to drive? I refuse to believe that the person dumb enough to write the above post is old enough to have a driver's license

loquacius posted:It makes magic sound a lot like prayer or positive thinking Magic is prayer or positive thinking, and the more honest writers'll admit it. I spent a ridiculously long time obsessed with occult stuff; I still read up on it a lot, but less because I believe and more because I'm fascinated. Back in the mid-90s when Wicca started taking off (such as it was), many of the more prominent Wiccan and neopagan authors would come right out and say "now, will casting this spell make you rich? Maybe. Or maybe it will just help you focus your energies and attention in a way that makes it easier to save money and make responsible financial decisions" and so on and so forth. Some would just hint at it obliquely instead of coming out and saying it, but there were always oblique hints. It's all power of positive thinking stuff. That doesn't make it bad, mind you - I know people who really and truly have improved their lives through magic, just like I know people who really and truly have improved their lives through prayer and I know other people who really and truly improved their lives thanks to The Secret. But if you're expecting to learn how to throw fireballs, well, you're poo poo outta luck.

yeah I eat rear end posted:I don't really like this because it implies some form of magic is real, just not the harry potter poo poo. I don't deny that some people have been helped by believing in magic, but they could have probably gotten that same help through learning better life skills directly without all the mysticism. It's those skills that are helping people, not the magic. Like it or don't like it; that's up to you. Doesn't change anything, really. "Magic" is a framework for some people to build a better mindset and better life skills on, in the same way that "faith" is a framework for other people or "a positive attitude" is a framework for others or "rational secularism" is a framework for still others. The important thing, IMHO, is the better mindset and life skills; whatever framework provides the support for someone to hang those things on is okay by me. I guess I just don't get why it's not okay by you.
