I've worked in mental health for a very long time, and no matter what population is being served, a universal truth is always made clear:

No amount of therapy or medication can rival the effects that POVERTY has on a person's overall well-being.

Any deficit in the bottom 2 is especially damaging.
Fortnite is currently about as close as can be to the metaverse vision we saw in 'Ready Player One'. Just pure "when worlds collide" randomness.
I hear near 40 year olds gush about Simpsons Fortnite all week.
I open it up for the first time in ages.
I'm greeted with a free Stormtrooper skin for some reason.
Then I see Geralt of Rivea in front of the Simpson house.
Misery Business plays.
Tyler the Creator is in the store.
I am overwhelmed.

Every AITA I read is either one or the other:

Woman: my husband refuses to relive himself anywhere other than in a bucket in the living room. AITA for asking him to stop?

Men: my wife just got a lung transplant and her breathing sounds different. AITA for asking for a divorce?

"God always gives the toughest fights to His strongest soldiers..."

If that's what's at play, then I don't approve.

I wish to opt out.

Ah yes. It seems according to the DOE, Clinical Psych, Health administration, and grad programs in public health are no longer considered professional degrees ha

actually it was the raping
The only reason women only rides are even a thing is because creeps were driving around in their women or women friends’ rideshare whip.

We did next-to-nothing to stop cyber-bullying, and now it has evolved into its latest repugnant form. Between this and getting shot in the face by an active sh00t3r, is it any wonder why our kids don't wanna go to school anymore?
This is rape culture.

This is why so many people don’t come forward.

A young girl was being bullied at school by a boy who made AI generated nudes of her.

She told the principal. She told the guidance counsellor. They didn’t stop it.

Finally she hit the boy responsible, and SHE got expelled:
A Louisiana girl hit a boy who was sharing deepfake nude photos of her. She was expelled.
“This girl was abused,” one of the family’s attorneys said, noting that she endured sexual exploitation and harassment. And the expulsion “was like pouring salt in the wound.”

they were causing an opioid crisis in the military and correcting the system by deleting medical records. so I really don't care to hear shit about what medication is safe for ppl from the likes of crooked politicians.
JD Vance calls ibuprofen "useless medication" and implies it's not "necessary, safe and effective."

[sigh] I wanted very badly to like this book...

While I greatly respect Jason Wilson and the work he's done — both in his personal life and for men and boys — his new book, however, is unfortunately NOT what the moment demands.

I feel like the Cassandra Truth here in real life sometimes and it feels like I'm always cursed to say the truth but never be believed. Like I swear. I'm not saying I'm right all the time, but well...when I'm right, I'm right.

Indeed. Many are known to have "Dark Triad" personalities which, unfortunately, are often elevated and rewarded in the worlds of business & finance.

Unbelievable. At 9:30 PM, tonight, the US Supreme Court sided with Trump to block full SNAP benefits. Our US Supreme Court literally voted to let ppl in this country go without food. This should outrage everyone with half a brain and a beating heart.

Remember, kids: generative AI doesn't have access to the same schemas (memory frameworks) and pattern recognition that the human brain has. Therefore, it could "see" this tutorial (aka have it added to its data set) and still not learn a fucking thing about what hands are and how they work.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Blue Seal ice cream is a brand that was created by Americans in Okinawa to boost morale and give post-WWII soldiers a familiar taste of home in 1948. It was not available to the Okinawan public until 1963 and was not available outside Okinawa until 2009.
