Before reading the justification, I thought the idea was that it would prevent you from eating the whole pint because the spoon is too uncomfy to put up with for more than a few scoops lol

5/7 of the things listed are explicitly related to attention and/or hyperactivity

Would you care to share any links or screenshots? I can just switch accounts, but I’m totally ootl on this so I wouldn’t know where to look

I’m calling to urge [company name] to immediately end the policy that unfairly targets the adult content industry. I’m also asking that [company name] sit down with stakeholders- specifically sex workers and adult content creators- to develop solutions that ensure equitable access to financial services, create stability, and reduce harm for sex workers.

The “r word” (retard) as in slow release

I saw this in a TV show once

A kid in the womb is better off listening to old people’s regrets and dying wishes so they can handle dying of old age better when the time comes

I hit a kid with my car once so now I can litter and stuff without guilt

To be fair, research shows depression does often go away by itself- it just typically takes like 3× longer to do so than with professional help

I use transcribro daily, and it consistently surprises me with its accuracy; I had to say “OIC,” and I thought for sure it was gonna interpret it as “Oh, I see,” but it got it right!

Edit: I just tried FUTO though and I think I already like it better lol

I’m pretty sure the target audience for American Dad is teenagers?

ASPD is far too broad to be worth treating on it’s own. If someone struggles with impulse control and emotion dysregulation, sure, those symptoms are treatable, and treating them is likely to improve the person’s quality of life.

However, most people with ASPD meet criteria because they break the law, lie about it (duh), and don’t feel bad about it (why would they if they did it on purpose?). This should not be pathologized, and doesn’t need treatment.

I don’t even believe in free will, so I expect you’re right that we won’t come to an understanding on this lol 😅

You can’t change society without changing the people first.

This is neoliberal propaganda

I am a therapist and I meet diagnostic criteria for ASPD.

The diagnosis itself exists to pathologize the individual to remove blame from the system that fosters this behavior.

The DSM is a joke

The point is more why are we treating the symptom rather than the disease.

Hell yeah, great point

People who take advantage of others are manipulators and by definition that’s anti-social. Why is the system so broken that we can’t imprison scammers?

What the fuck, how is that your conclusion?

The “disease” is the lack of safety nets- a lack of education, resources, opportunities. “Anti-social” is a copout term to justify the status quo- to pathologize what are ultimately systemic failures manifested in the behavior of individuals. The disease is capitalism, and imprisoning people for “anti-social” behaviors is absolutely the wrong answer.

my new psychiatrist decided that I’m actually bipolar instead of ADHD.

She’s not treating me for either and instead went with Prozac for my depression.

Lmao. Idk if you meant for this to be funny but it made me laugh.

When I was 18, my very first psychiatrist prescribed me Zoloft to see if I was bipolar or not. I didn’t realize how stupid that was until I had the manic episode he expected would happen if it was BP. I almost died several times during the resulting 2 week manic episode from doing dumb shit

Post-Luigi, this doesn’t seem like such a shitty idea anymore lol

I used Signal for virtual sessions during the pandemic (the law allowed it then), and I would absolutely pay them monthly if I could switch back. I even thought about emailing them to ask about a BAA- as far as I know, their model means that it’s only paperwork that has to be done to call it hipaa compliant
