Wait we’re just allowed to do this now?

There’s a pendulum swinging towards the middle. Under diagnosis, and then ultra trendy diagnosis, huge self-diagnosis, general personality trend to align with. Now it’s going to swing back, likely towards biomarkers, as the DSM VI is trying to focus on. Can we see this on a scan? If so it exists. And then the DSM XII will be like “fuck that.” Mental health has always wobbled between extremes and somehow found the truth in the middle.

Also the ad is for a new knife-tunnel-as-a-service

I really loved the lead in Send Help! Womanizing, loner, highly avoidant. This is the lesbian of my youth. This is who I want to see represented, not the tired old stereotypes.

He’ll forever be Leland Palmer to me, father to Laura as well as a lot of confused looks during the 90s.

The animal welfare committee has concluded the most humane way to coke up the fish is for the researchers to also do a few bumps so they feel like it’s a party.

As usual Lemmy downvoting things they don’t agree with, even if it’s true.

I was with a physician friend on the Las Vegas strip as a guy went down with a heart attack. I’m like, this is your moment! Go save them! And she grabs my arm and yanks me into a doorway so I can’t make a commotion, explains that no doctor will simply do that, it means they’re on the hook for it, when an EMT is just minutes away and is properly prepared to handle it. She said if doctors didn’t obey this unwritten rule, they’d constantly be giving out care to random people, possibly without admitting privileges in nearby hospitals, taking on liability they’re not insured for (being outside of a hospital), etc.

So you’re completely right.

Everything about this is completely on-brand

GP1s did this to me. I’ve always jumped out of bed in the morning. Well, I was usually going to get stoned which helped. But the combo of going on GP1s and quitting weed… now when my alarm goes off, I’m like “Nah I’ll just stay here.”

Betcha can’t just eat one

Look at how quick we got used to school shootings and climate change and death-squad healthcare and a bunch of other awfulnesses.

We are very good at taking abuse and carrying on with it.

I’ve fantasized about doing something like this but putting in a nonprofit, foundation-based system run by a board of mental health workers, that was designed to actually bring people together. It may still happen. I don’t have the high barrier to entry it takes to start a social network so I’m starting from the other end and doing community organizing instead. Power to the real people offline, who aren’t trying to make a profit off our need for human connection.

Wanna know a secret… God didn’t even write that part. God’s version has him at a kmart in Toledo, Iowa buying the entire universe on a Saturday in 1997, at which point he installed it, but it did take several days because it was football season, but it was less than a week no matter what anyone else says.

The subject in question is George Wendt’s 1985 classic vietnam war flashback horror film. I can only assume.

Seems like, somehow, people have spent a lot of time thinking about Ariel’s tits. Perhaps science can tell us one day why.

There’s an entire generation of people now alive that won’t have any understanding of this meme… or Miss Cleo or a lot of other “part of how my brain structure works now” shit

Yep there are only a few “brands” I buy, because I liked them when I was younger, basically - but if you pay attention to the tags, you might see “vendor ID numbers” or something like that, showing where the brand itself bought the item from, commissioned with their brand or tags added. Sometimes I’ve looked for specific numbers if I’m trying to find a shirt that fit really well, or was really well made, and I want others like it.

I’m talking brands like GAP, Vans, Aero, American Eagle, etc.

Folks who work in social justice will know the acronym “POC” but “p. of c.” I don’t usually encounter.

Are we sure it’s not “prince of caspian?”

a “processed meat slab” according to the article, which is clearly off and beginning to rot. Never eat meat that looks like an oil slick, it’s a telltale sign… god I’d hate to be on bathroom duty there.

This stuff used to bother me but then I observed nature and its cruel rules for long enough, and I realized that suffering is one of the few constants in life, one of the guarantees. Wasps that paralyze spiders for months so they can be eaten alive by their offspring, bird species where most chicks are left to stave to death, etc… yeah nature is just as cruel as humans can be, but at a much larger scale in perpetuity, and we’re a lot more efficient at turning that suffering into greater good that lessens the suffering of others in perpetuity. So, while I don’t condone or even like to think about baby monkey experiments, I will not bat an eye at lab mice being given Parkinson’s so we can observe and seek answers and cures.
