I’ve never heard of Ms. Rachel. is she an onion invention or someone worth knowing?

the lived exp of someone with ADHD? my doxin in christ, why do you think I’m on this sub?

just dropping in to say that as a clinician, most of what is posted in here is bullshit. it’s actually pretty frustrating and ill probably have to unsub soon. for my own sanity.

I mean get assessed but dont take anything you see here seriously. ANYTHING.

ew that’s even worse

shame served an evolutionary function that has become less useful when you can so easily find a new tribe and security in modern life

But showing that it happens to one dude does not mean it happens “often”. That’s really anecdotal.

There’s also a fair argument that a significant number of people in prison have undiagnosed mental disorders.

Serious mental disabilities often end up in mental institutions instead of prisons, they’re often found not criminally responsible for their actions.

do you have a source for this one

I think you overstate how significantly social media impacts your local community and livelihood. like, it does, but not nearly as much as what you could do out in the world

so you believe you are going to contribute to positive change for LGBTQ+ community by responding to propaganda on social media?

what do you mean by narrative rules?

people 1) obsess over gathering intel as if they need to figure out what to do and then 2) stress over not doing enough and then 3) post shit online to feel like they’re doing stuff and 4) continue the cycle so that they never have to look inward and work on themselves. focusing on systems is the ultimate distraction. but i guess folks caught in the cycle would say that focusing on the self is a distraction from systems… what a sad, miserable life it must be. i hope one day they see that systems are just made of people are try to help those around them first and foremost… but it’s always people with the most fucked up personal lives that dive deep into politics

if a dozen people independently decide that your ideas are indefensible, to you that looks like a group, but really it’s just a bunch of people reading something shitty. to dismiss that as “group think” sort of highlights something about you more than the platform, doesn’t it?

no one told me to say this

choosing ignorance means choosing to ignore something that directly affects you.

what does lemmy have to do with any of this

what does that have to do with Lemmy though?

oh 100% i avoid it completely. i advocate for things in my own space and my own community. I’m not wasting my time talking about this shit online with any of you. i already know what im doing in november and i know what i gotta do in my local community and i dont give a flying fuck what anyone on here has to say about any of it. aint trying to change a bunch of random stranger’s minds (especially when i know we already pretty much agree on all the shit im already going to be doing)

and instead of policing my communities to attempt to help create a politically tasteful environment for myself, id rather just … fucking avoid completely any political environment. problem solved, life easy

can you add a button that will save my marriage?

Yeah this question seems weird. Isn’t programming less about knowing and more about solving?

why not just respond to what you wanted to? everyone else found it an appropriate setting to discuss the content. OP clearly liked it and walked to talk about it anywhere it fits!

Very interesting sentiments, very agreeable, but if this were one of my patients I would be quick to redirect the conversation away from “society is wrong” into “You’re realizing that you believe this is your path”. Generalizations like that do us no good. If it’s about YOU, then make it about YOU. If someone is dismissing YOU based on this stuff, talk about how that person’s words affect YOU.

I bet $100 that this person recently had a conversation with someone where this kind of language was used. Or, maybe more likely, they saw some random irrelevant bullshit on the internet from a stranger and extrapolated messages about an entire culture from it. The culture is YOU TOO, buddy!
