  • Basically it means that you can return whatever verdict you want as long as you don't say something stupid like "I don't actually believe this by the way."

  • It's comments like these that make me wish lemmy had a react feature. Perfect place to drop one of these suckers: ♥️

  • I guess I wasn't specific enough. 😅 Borderline is kind of just difficult to treat; what I said was my attempt at explaining why. At least, as I understand it. Yes, therapists can give you very useful skills and knowledge; not knocking them at all. (Ok maybe a little. One of them did have me kidnapped...)

    But ultimately what people with BPD need is a healthy relationship, and that's just not something a therapist can provide. (Unless they want to lose their license I guess. 🤷)

    But anyway thanks for the kind words. :)

  • You know, I've heard that the barter system, as a foundation of economics, is essentially made up. Like, obviously people barter, but the idea that it was a universal precursor to money was essentially invented by capitalists in the industrial era, who never could have dreamed of the myriad interesting ways thar people distributed wealth!

    Apparently one of the more common ones was a sort of "gifting" system, where people just gave each other what they needed. 🤷 But of course this wasn't universal either.

  • Off My Chest @lemmy.world

    Just... Ugh 😮‍💨

  • I think I understand; you don't want your friend to see you at your worst. I hope that since you posted this you've gotten better self esteem at your job. 🫶

  • I remember watching a Simpsons episode about how deadly big cars are back when I was like, young. At least 15 years ago. We've known this for so long, how is it so difficult to just set a maximum height commuter vehicles?

    (It's a rhetorical question, but it anyone has an actual answer then count me curious.)

  • This was actually a pretty good read.

  • Crown Royal is Canadian. 🤷 Not sure if it's available where you are though.

  • But those other studies didn't make the news though, did they? The thing about scientists is that they aren't just scientists, and the impact of their work goes beyond the papers that they publish. If doing something 'unethical' is what it takes to get people to wake up, then maybe the publication status is a lesser concern.

  • Nobleknight Adventures (I believe this is the entire short, but there are others on the channel.)

  • Yea, so Hasbro owns Wizards of the Coast, which owns Magic The Gathering. One day, a guy that opens packs on camera got accidentally sent a pack from a set that hadn't been released yet.

    I forget the exact details, but WotC ended up sending some thugs to this guys house to retrieve the merchandise via intimidation, and the company those thugs worked for was related to the Pinkertons from your high school civics textbook. (Like, they had acquired them in a merger or something.)

  • 😮‍💨 Great... I guess autism will be at the center of the mext big culture war. Yippee...

  • Worth noting by the way that instagram is owned by Meta - the very company the post is calling out.

  • I used to have pretty serious lower back pain. Two things helped me out quite a lot, and you don't need a doctor for either.

    1: Exercise the lower back. Pain in the lower back is caused by muscle weakness.

    2: Getting a different job. Yea it turns out that sitting at a desk for 12 hours causes hecka bad back pain. Although I've heard that sitting in a backless chair or yoga ball can help, since leaning against the back of your chair is what causes the miscle weakness.

    Edit: Obviously this is just what worked for me; it might not be effective for people that have unusual causes like injury and stuff.

  • I think gene theraly is a miracle technology that should absolutely be explored more. The thing is, we're already at a point where we can do it in adults. So doing it on embyros, which can't consent, is simply an uncessasary moral hazard.

    That said, I think the doctor here sort of has a point, which is that medical research is sometimes so concerned with doing no harm that it allows harm to happen without trying to treat it.

  • It should work fine in OP's sentence, but sadly the word's been ruined... A while back I heard someone over 40 use it as a noun in real life. 🫤

  • Honestly, it would be a pretty lame T-shirt.

  • Apparently GOG is Polish. DRM free, too; the one time I used it it literally just gave me the raw game files, like back in the day.
