His son just probably has a laptop and boots using a usb into linux. All of these christian goodie-do-gooders are going to create a nation of hackers.

It’s possible it’s a coincidence.

The idea that scientists, especially hard scientists, have a certain look is something many think… so despite literally everyone on lemmy downvoting me, i still think it’s important to notice when these things coincidentally happen or don’t coincidentally happen

However you are saying SMBC is very tolerant and unbiased and I believe you. I was’t saying it was sexism, I was just noticing it. But I understand the defensive reaction: if the comic creator is generally accepting of many people’s identitites then they are less likely to have done this with any sort of biased intent and the comic creator is probably cool and not prejudiced.

No, it’s shorter and more masculine… since more masculine people do hard science like physics while even a regular mom who is a little bit smart could learn biology. (I don’t think this.) I am just pointing it out, it probably wasn’t done with intentiinal sexism.

Plus it helps us realize that since they have more masculine haircuts they are even smarter, right?

Because it wouldn’t make sense for the initial female to look the same and still be a physicist, right?

Just pointing out that bias may also be affecting the cartoon too, even if not maliciously intended

You know how matter changes from solid to liquid to gas at certain points? I believe there are phase changes in ecology and environmental habitability and sometimes things seem fine and suddenly they aren’t.

At the risk of sounding prejudiced and offensive, the norse are a very smart and sexy group of people, so perhaps I am wrong in not accepting your illogical and sexy perspective?

I just think 1 variable of change is not the correct barometer of “how close are we to the ecological abyss?”

Alright.

I’ve never listened to Marjorie Taylor-Greene.

Although I know there are racist conspiracy theories, it doesn’t mean all conspiracy theories are racist.

You have to get past the racism and flat-earthers to get to the REAL good conspiracy theories. Some of them end of being false, but some seem to be true. Either way they become more interesting.

Any Havanna Syndrome inflicted on Biden would likely be done by Russia and would be unrelated to Jewish people. Russia is the one with the most to gain from Biden losing, especially since the conspiracy theory is Trump is a Russian agent.

What is your proof that it’s not space lasers?

Why is this shocking? Havana Syndrome is blatantly real.

Seems possible.

I am not. I have never wanted boobs, worn lipstick, wanted hips. I just see myself as really gay and I feel like he/him implies a sort of normal dude ethos that i am not. If i could change, I’d be taller and have bigger shoulders. I just like dudes. I am posting on lemmy, why would I lie?

I havent lied at all on here… except for the username. This is clearly an alt account… 🫣

When did I say I didn’t want to exist? I never said that.

In former years, they used to lobotomize difficult people, destroying neural connectiins so they would be agreeable and stupid.

They financially do the same thing to people these days. “Oh just call this number, oh they are just here to help!”

Would you expect me to respond meekly to someone suggesting a lobotomy? No? Then why are you suggesting I respond meekly to someone suggesting I do something that could cost me $25,000 and lead to homelessness?

Most of the people who get locked up give up on financial stability and just go on SSI because it’s pointless to try to have financial security after that. (The mental industry loves that because then they have a permanent meal, like a vampire who keeps it’s captive alive with free blood transfusions from the government.) You are obviously in that industry or know someone who is or you wouldn’t respond with such irrational deference to what is in fact extreme financial exploitation of the vulnerable.

Go fuck off. I did not post this question to get a barrage of mental health help. All I said is I don’t know if I’ll be here in a decade and I’m instantly bombarded with “go get therapy.” It’s so presumptious. I could have a fatal illness. You don’t know my situation. I asked a question about pronouns and absolutely wasn’t looking for medical mental health advice nor did I want it. Leave me the hell alone.

I admire your intelligence.

If you say you’re considering going to a hospital they will talk you out of it

If you say you don’t want involuntary treatment, they’ll get the battering ram

They do not always force everyone into involuntary treatment but they get caller IDs and can send police and force people to be locked up, with devestating financial consequences. A small weekend crisis can decend into long term financial instability or even homelessness if someone calls 988. Involuntary care is always horribly expensive.

A hospital stay of 25,000, which would not be an abnormal cost for a month long involuntary stay, can be taken from you by a collections company by seizing a car you use to get to work and deducting money directly from your paycheck. The financial hell can last years.

If the mental health industry really “cared” they wouldn’t engage in brutal exploitation like that. Upset about the lack of a car and the collections company taking your wages and even more in an abyss? If you complain to 988, they’ll lock you up again and increase the debt more, then let you out on new drugs to go stay at a shelter if you’ve lost your housing while continuing their collection practices. They fundamentally don’t care and are a den of vipers that selectively target their prey for maximum resource extraction.

Although 988 and the involuntary hospitals and personelle and collections companies are not one monolith, they are all heads of the same hydra that emerges when a person is at their weakest, looking for its next meal.

They pretend mental health is the priority and everything else must come second, ignoring the reality that extreme financial distress always results in misery, then cause long-term financial distress by exploiting the legal and regulatory environment to charge exorbanant prices when someone can’t refuse treatment. They are not stupid and know the horrific impact of severe financial distress, which they cause, hurts the downtrodden. They continue to operate this way because money has corrupted them. Often the medications they prescribe, such as SSRIs, do not even have statistically meaningful improvement outcomes as compared to a sugar pill as measured by metastudies. They know this, and also know a patient held captive will say anything, including a sugar pill is helping, to stop being held captive by a corrupt and deranged greedy industry.

Like a well-dressed vampire inviting you over for supper, they always seem nice until you are powerless, and if they don’t end up extracting as many resources as possible from you they know you’ll go on to be their cheerleader to bring in the next round of prey, and so occasionally they don’t exploit select people to keep up appearances.

Congratulations on being their cheerleader.

(Also, I am not a scientologist, I believe the earth is round, global warming is real, and that some medications, including psychiatric medications, have statistically meaningful impacts to justify usage. I believe in the scientific method. But fuck the mental health industry and the vile scum of the industry who exploit those at their weakest and call the exploitation healing.)

Wild response

The idea od suggesting following any prior tactics of Andrew Jackson is revolting, as cool as your response is

If there were ever a time for Dark Brandon to emerge, this would be it!

You’re wrong. It is entirely valid for me to think this.

The entire profession is different labels for the same polluted over-priced tainted water, and even if people didn’t enter the profession to become controlling charlitans and grifters, the rules of the profession ensure that transmogrification happens sooner or later.

Biden doesn’t have the balls to do this. It would be cool as heck if he did.

OMG NO

How would you know if my hatred of the mental health industry is valid? You haven’t lived my life or endured the hell I endured. They are ALL vile.

I appreciate the gesture, but after my terrible mental health industry experiences, I pass on all of it, even in anonymous reading format.
