2018-12-15 at 6:54 PM UTC in My daughter just diedI mean it kind of makes sense, but yeah it'd fuck the internet. Curation != publication, no matter how overzealously you feel a website is curating user content. There's gotta be a better solution.

Fallen Angust - Detained in a psyche facility after being found not criminally responsible by reason of mental health for making a couple drunken death threats on Facebook. Poor bastard. (Actually he might be out now, I haven't talked to him in like a year.)
And, I mean, I'm me. I've been around for like 12 years now. Fuck. -

Originally posted by GGG I was taking pre-calculus in highschool. It is embarrassing how little of that information I retained. When I went back to college after so many years, I had to go to a tutor to get myself into college level courses, which is just like basic algebra pretty much.
Then I dropped out of college and more years passed and now I have to study again to re-take that stupid fucking test. Otherwise I will be in a remedial class. People who can retain this knowledge honestly baffle me. Like today when I was fucking with the modulo operator today I had to google what a remainder was.
Maybe it was the drugs
Gonna sound bad, but having to retake that stupid test is basically the biggest thing stopping me from going back to college (aside from social retardation). It's not even like the test is that hard, it's just a goddamn hassle.
'though I guess so is the rest of college, and if I find even that too bothersome it's probably good that I don't waste my time/money on re-enrolling. ๐ -

Originally posted by gadzooks I was actually about to come in here with some long winded, detailed explanation (gotta put that degree in psychology to good use somewhere), but basically, yeah.
"Mirror neurons or some shit idk."
That could be like an entire chapter of a neuroscience textbook.
Don't let my shitposting keep you from making a genuinely insightful post about mirror neurons and shit if the mood strikes you. That stuff is voodoo to me, but still neat to read about.

Or basically a combination thereof.
A very depressing, but high scientifically informative, case study tells us a lot about this particular phenomenon…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genie_(feral_child)
This poor gal was basically locked up in a room with zero interaction with anyone outside the home.
Her own parent's rarely even communicated with her.
She's apparently passed the point where a human being is even capable of learning to communicate.
Super sad.
But super informative!
That is fucking sad, yeah. Fuck. Her dad is/was an absolute shit. There's only a couple ways that abuse could have been any worse, and they really aren't fun to think about. -

Originally posted by gadzooks I don't want to derail this thread too much.
So I will just summarize my position on it…
I wasn't always comfortable with the notion of calling someone who was born with a penis a woman, or someone born with a vagina a man, whether or not they still possess these same organs or not.
It seemed off to me.
But with time, I came to empathize.
I guess, if I were at peak acceptance/support levels, I would consider HTS, for example, to be completely indistinguishable from a naturally-born woman.
To be totally honest, I don't.
To me, there are gender-based categories, and I'm totally comfortable with considering HTS to be in a category that has certain femininine attributes, including the pronouns.
But if I had to be totally honest, I don't know if I'm comfortable/accepting enough that I would actually be able get fully monogomously/romantically involved with someone who was trans, even after all hormone replacement and full transitional surgery.
So basically, what I'm saying is, on the acceptance spectrum, I'm not perfect, but I do respect her right to be considered a woman in just about every respect, especially something as simple as pronouns.
And the only reason I really brought it up in this thread is because I was genuinely confused by your post when you said "he is wasting your tax dollars on meth" or whatever. You're going against the grain by continuing to use "he".
Also, for the record, anything other "he" or "she", and then I start becoming less open-minded.
I doubt I would ever be able to call someone xhe or "they" in the singular or any of that crazy shit.
But if HTS truly and permanently identifies as a women, even if she hasn't had all the surgery and hormone replacements, she's a she in my book.
This is pretty much where I'm at on pronouns, and I'm the tranny in question. I don't really mind being "misgendered" anyway, although I do kinda feel like ยงmยฃรgรL in particular does it outta spite. -

Originally posted by gadzooks Because murder is wrong.
I mean, come on, HTS, really?
You're right, it really does sound edgy, and I sincerely hope that was your one and only intent in asking that.
Even though I do enjoy ethical debates, even some that others would think completely unrealistic or inconsequential, and I play devil's advocate for so many things because of how much I enjoy the very act of debate and rational discourse.
But, when it comes to the murder question, it seems pretty simple a solution to me.
Ask yourself:
1. Would I mind if someone came along and killed me without my consent?
And, since some people might just be edgy enough, or perhaps suicidal enough, to say "yes" to #1…
2. Would you mind if someone came along and killed the one person you care most about in the world, without their consent?
Very few people are 'edgy' enough to answer yes to that one.
Although some use the copout that they "don't have anyone in their lives they care about that much."
I consider that an edgy copout response as well though.
I mean, yes I would mind if I got killed or a loved one got killed, but I wouldn't mind if a complete stranger did. There are probably thousands of people out there being killed RIGHT NOW, and I don't care at all. And honestly? You probably don't either. Even if you heard their names, saw a picture of them, read an article describing their life and family and knew they were now dead... I doubt you would really care.
You're smart enough to see where this is going, I think. I'm not saying I ever will kill anyone, for the record. I'm just saying I probably could without feeling too bad about it, especially if they were a stranger. I don't really think this is a unique perspective on taking another person's life either. If it were, war would be impossible. *shrug* -

Originally posted by GGG The answer to your question totse, is that he doesn't make a living. He threatened somebody with a deadly weapon and now the state considers him unstable, so they pay him to just stay at home and away from society.
You're Canadian right? He's buying meth with your tax dollars. How does that feel?
Surprisingly that did not factor into the eventual diagnosis that got me on disability. It just put me in the homeless shelter that the psychiatrist who referred me to the program worked out of. -
