It's just my experience but it kind of seems like with CBT therapy a huge problem is that it uses compliance as a measure of trust and that there are a good number of people who have never trusted anyone in their lives and therefore can do compliance and fake trust to the point

Gay pro hockey player Brock McGillis lived 'Heated Rivalry' - Outsports
For Brock McGillis, 'Heated Rivalry' is validating, deeply triggering and widely misunderstood. It's entertainment, people!

I'm gonna be honest I'm really tired of people making fun of the appearances of truly vile people, we don't have to pretend that looking like an mature lesbian from the early 90s is a bad thing to acknowledge that these guys are not worthy to lick the dirt off your shoes.
Just the BBC, the national broadcaster, mainstreaming a fascist blogger. I guess this is normal now.

This is about the horrible term "female-bodied".
I think something that is very hard for cis people to wrap their heads around, and even many trans people, is that "passing" is not pass-fail, literally every person has a different evaluation on everyone's gender.

I've come to the conclusion that when people say stuff like this that even in the most "enlightened" circumstances, they often mean "bodies *I* believe experience misogyny", meaning that if you pass to them, you can't experience or understand misogyny in any meaningful way.

I say this a lot but this is literally a common mindset that drives abusers: if I want something in this moment, it is correct and it is what I have always wanted. Part of why gaslighting gets employed is to manage victims who don’t want to rapidly shift realities along with their abusers.
Extreme contradictions are inherent to MAGA, it encourages people to believe whatever feels best with no critical thinking, even when ideas are incompatible.

u heard sharon, everyone post about their esoteric interests right fucking now. for the good of the community, we need to be hyperfixationmaxxing.
i think this site really needs to figure out how to grow the non-politics verticals (the baseball moment was a good thing!) because i suspect a lot of the bad clusters come out of the political clusters driving 95% of ENG-lang posts
I'd be happy with big non politics accounts.

You know the one about the Chabad rabbi standing on a street desperately trying to find a tenth. He finally find a Jewish guy and begs him to come in and make the minyan but the guy declines saying he's not into organized religion.
"Perfect! this minyan is as far from organized as you can get!"

Probably my most shitpost literature opinion is that the spiritual successor of Moby Dick is Homestuck. Do with this information what you will.
people think moby dick is a stern adventure novel heavy on the plot. i can't emphasize how much it's not. it's supergay chaos with 3 plot points. there's an entire chapter that's just a chowder recipe. sometimes it turns into a play. the main character is covered in whale dinension tattoos.
finally reading moby dick. why didn't anyone tell me that it's good

Speaking of “why many women and others who aren’t cis white guys are feeling REAL reluctant to pivot to creating video at this EXACT point in history where AI makes it crazy easy for bad actors to steal and exploit our faces”
“If a woman dares to show herself in public in any way, then she can and will be sexually harassed with the aid of genAI-driven tools that can easily turn her face into highly realistic pornography” is an absolute red-alarm human rights disaster
The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

This has always been the goal—I taught chapters from Carol Brooks Gardner’s 1995 book on street harassment, Passing By, last semester, which clearly speak to that—but new technologies dramatically, frighteningly extend the reach & duration of “public harassment”
