  • That's awful. The "bootstraps" mentality runs deep. I'm sorry.

  • "I think the US and Iran need to fight it out a little first."

  • Is this from the same era as "Who was fone"? I love these pastas.

  • We're in the Midwest where we get storms along with Spring weather. So it feels wonderful if you can get past the electricity in the air and frequent tornadoes.

  • Yeah. Thankfully mine seems to understand why I have such a hard time working and hasn't been trying to urge me to keep searching for and/or working at soul-crushing jobs. Or at least jobs that crush my soul. There are people who genuinely enjoy cleaning, but a combination of perfectionism and psychosis made it hell for me.

  • GOOD

  • I mean, it is what we did when ICE killed Pretty and Good.

  • Yeah... I keep wanting to think she's a Good Therapist, but sometimes I really wonder...

  • My therapist wants me to watch and apply the movie A Beautiful Mind. From what she says, it sounds like I'm supposed to learn some miraculous mental technique that would allow me to not be troubled by my hallucinations anymore. Am I misunderstanding, and/or am I wrong for thinking that's a ridiculous thing? She points out that the voices come from my head, therefore I should be able to use my head to stop them? Like, there's a dysfunction going on? I don't actually have control over them? Am I totally wrong here?

    Any suggestions for Lovecraftian horror from queer and/or POC authors?

  • I hope not. Even for the right wingers, surely someone in the establishment is aware he's in significant mental decline. I figure they'd just run someone else who espouses the same politics but is a bit younger, which shouldn't be hard to find. I don't know that they quite have the support they need to change the constitution or fly in violation of the law just yet, but I continue to be surprised by the amount of support they do have.

  • Yes.

  • She kinda mumbled something about missionaries having reported seeing the child labor. Then she changed the subject.

  • You're good, no need to apologize! I'll keep those responses in mind, though, because there are some people I'd like to turn left. Yeah, I just usually don't bring up socialism because I know this is where it'd lead. I just felt like I should mention to her that I'm not just going to rot on the couch doing nothing, and that included bringing up the PSL. She did seem interested when I told her they did a lot of organizing in Minnesota.

  • I think she's thinking of bygone times when they were more closed off. I mentioned that they have opened up, to which she replied, "Just a little." I think there're too many brainworms, for me to help root out in the relatively short time I see her. I just needed to complain a little.

  • Yeah. She made some comments about how she wishes everything wasn't ruled by money, but even then she seems to be missing the big picture. I think she just doesn't have a lot of politics besides the vibes we get growing up and doesn't think that's a problem. I get that about democracy and it necessarily being proletarian rule, but so many people have this thought that socialism runs counter to democracy because of that same vibes-based education. I think I'd have to do a lot of agitation to change her mind, and I'm just seeing her once a month to help deal with my anxiety and depression.

  • Thank you. I'll keep this in mind next time somebody brings up these arguments.

  • No, I mean the thing she had said earlier about "If I had more faith in humanity, I'd be a socialist." She seems to believe that socialism is the dictatorship of one dude and they'll get greedy and corrupt and deplete national resources. In my head I said "It takes more faith to be a capitalist," but that didn't find its way out of my mouth.

  • My guess is she sees socialism as a dangerous and possibly self-destructive ideology and wants to protect me from it? Or maybe the brainworms really are that deep that she can't help but argue. But yeah, thank you for the well-wishes!

  • Sorry, I feel like I'm arguing when that's not my intention. I really do appreciate your concern!

    Turns out people get offended when you respond to their propaganda with "So we've been told."
