Borrovan posted:Also considering the whole point of therapy is to teach you to work stuff out by yourself, if what you got from it was "don't listen to yourself & take what I say on faith", it sounds like you might just have been too depressed to engage with your therapy properly This is a wall I've been running up against recently, it's frustrating Josef bugman posted:I just got my av changed by, I think, the war thread in D&D, so I am a touch sad at that.

OwlFancier posted:If you are seeking therapy then by necessity (as you correctly identified) you have to have a sufficient element of doubt in yourself that you think you need to be fixed, or possibly you have been pushed there by other people around you. But again is you correctly identify, in order for it to take, you must lack sufficient confidence in your self assessment to be open to having the interpretation of your therapist inserted in there instead of your own. Or to find their reasoning more compelling than your own, however you want to look at it. It's funny how I find your arguments so equally logical and compelling when I myself am particularly depressed and irrational and misguided when I'm not

ThomasPaine posted:Yeah it seems like every fucker in the pub is doing cocaine now. It's the one drug I will absolutely refuse to try on principle because holy poo poo the cartels are some of the sickest people on the planet. Would quite like to try MDMA though, even though the thought makes me anxious because my only experience of it was watching some girl outright die off one dodgy pill in one of those don't do drugs PSA films we were forced to watch in school. Everyone who can should use MDMA at least once, and if they're healthy, a couple of times a year. It's an enormously useful tool for mental health, and when used responsibly is also one of the safest drugs out there. It's also just a really fun, lovely, profound experience in general, even if you don't have things to work out or a brain that needs unclogging from time to time TACD posted:Cocaine is hugely overrated. MDMA is awesome but you’d want to do it with a group of friends, it’s not going to be at all the same just sat on your own. Eh, that's not a hard and fast rule, I've had several very successful rolls where I did it therapeutically, to work some stuff out privately - very positive experiences. It is really good with other people, though, yeah.

Chubby Henparty posted:Mdma provided one of the best / stupidest nights of my life, but seeing the regular users the next day with faces like someone shat in their weetabix warned me off a little. I've always found if you use it responsibly (i.e. don't use enormous amounts, don't use it regularly, don't drink excessively when you're on it, don't mix it with speed) then the hangover is more like a really gentle, pleasant afterglow. Maybe a little bit of nausea, but nowhere near even, like, a regular booze hangover But yeah, for definite though I've heard horror stories about people who use it/used to use it on the reg. I can fully believe if you're blasting your serotonin receptors like that every weekend you're gonna feel extremely bad

The problem isn't Russian money, the problem is money. Rich people. It'd be fine Codswallop was arguing that dealing with Russian money in politics as a first step but she's not, she doesn't seem overly concerned about Yanks using their money to push an anti-LGBTQ+ agenda with anti-trans activism as the thin edge of the wedge, or British newspaper owners using their power to influence politics to blaming immigrants for problems caused by the destruction of entire industries courtesy of the economic policies pushed by those newspaper owners, neoliberalism.

My bro and SIL, my best mate, even my therapist got it in the last week and a half (I narrowly dodged a bullet on that last one, I'd stopped wearing my mask at our appointments, stupidly) Not gonna be not wearing the mask for a long, long, long time, I think.

therattle posted:Of course the west played a part in setting up the situation but the current regime in Iran is responsible for its own actions. It's necessary, because it's kicking back against the enormous ignorance regarding western involvement in the rise of pretty much all of the west's boogeymen, who - if you were to take the mainstream narratives at face value - all popped out out of nowhere, like some sort of evil aristotelian spontaneous generation, and hate us for "our freedoms", etc., rather than complicated, murky and frankly incredibly mucky international realpolitiking. Nor should it be surprising that a very large percentage of said realpolitiking was done, inevitably, by the world's imperial centre (the US) and its satellites, which certainly throughout the 20th century had (and to a lesser extent, still has) enormously more soft and hard power to actually Make Things Happen (Usually Bad). Basically, I don't think that in the grand scheme of things, making sure everyone remembers that we almost always played some major part in laying down the rakes we then step on later is more of a problem than thinking that the enemies of the west appeared sui generis from the satan dimension. I don't think you do either, but still, I don't think it's an issue at all.
