very well said. I think the last time i got excited about graphics was when Final Fantasy X came out lol. then they kept getting more realistic but never actually became real, they stayed video games. even VR. so… maybe graphics are what we need to keep working on

I will never understand the obsession around graphics. JUST MAKE IT FUN.

Let’s go through this:

• Unpop Opinon is always terrible. It’s terrible by design. Next.

• Yes, very true, relationship advice online is generally awful. Rare chad on 4chan?

• Ew. Going on about wrongthink, sounds like someone tried to say something hateful and didn’t like being told to shut up.

• Ew. Probably went on conservative. Shut up.

• “Talks in qualifiers”?? What is this, a fucking grammarly course? Shut the fuck up.

• Oh gee I can’t talk about a specific language on the meta language board, I can only talk about meta language learning. If only I could go to a sub for the individual fucking language. What, are you complaining that you can’t flood the meta sub with one of a thousand “whats good spanish app” posts?? Shut the fuck up.

• Yes, hobbyists can be snobs. Not unique to reddit. Although I wonder if again we’re mad that someone disagreed with me. Should probably just shut the fuck up.

• Grammarly snob Anon doesn’t like acronym snob Redditor, okay. This just sounds whiny. You guessed it, shut the fuck up.

• And then there’s the transphobia, although TBQH I’m a little concerned that Anon hadn’t already lost you all before this point, did you just not sniff out the whiny bitchboy bullshit or did you all actually agree with it? Oh well, at least you all can draw the line at transphobia. As far as this complaint, they’re upset that they didn’t understand someone else’s post because there wasn’t enough information? Seriously? Shut the fuck up!

• Ladydick is great but if it tastes yeasty then maybe see a doctor

• Award speech edits are actually the very, very, qualitatively super duper worst thing about redditors, indeed. Never the less, shut the fuck up anon

Yeah this whole rant fell flat, it was just a generic conservative bitchpost. 1/10

seriously? there was some whiny obnoxious shit there way before the transphobia

Better check your shoes for dog shit!

trouble is, we can all use that method with or without being Trans 😜 stay safe

hello my name is Guy Who Eats 365 Hot Dogs Per Year, I’m here for chest pain

right. that’s just about any food study! it’s the trouble with the nutrition field in general

new Amazon ceo?

it’s already been explicitly outlawed in several places.

assumptions assumptions!

your presumption is that you’d be a better therapist, not a worse one, if you have more shared experiences with the client. that’s not something current evidence supports.

empathy means we strive to understand one another, not presume we understand them based on our own experiences. THAT is how bad therapy happens. and self-disclosure is a crutch for poor rapport building skills.

without the shared experiences, there can be more drive for empath and mutual understanding. the feeling of being understood by someone outside your group can be transformative.

In truth, positive outcomes have little correlation with therapist-client demographics. the demographic differential does alter what the course of therapy might look like, but not the outcomes.

I’m not cheering for him. it’s all theater. he’s going to grasp at popularity now that he’s gotten the deregulations he wants. maybe he’ll go and abuse the minds of more young boys with that popularity too. that’ll be a great way to stay rich and powerful for yrs to come

everyone replying that socks have a practical use, as if social constructs arent practical???

my issue is that even though “clothing” is a social construct, the stuff that socks are made out of is not. calling that stuff a sock is a social construct, but choosing to put the fabric on your body is not. becoming “clothed” is a social construct, but the unspecified uncategorized state of having that fabric on your body is just a physical state, not a construct. the meaning we apply to it is the thing that wouldn’t exist without socially constructed systems of meaning.

It’s kinda sad, i guess. I’m usually the first one to champion XYZ is a social construct, and have to deal with morons not understanding it, but here? no one is willing to say it?

Socks are not a social construct.

hygiene, engaging in a practice until hygienic, is a construct. the act of scrubbing your skin might not be

they better fuckin bill me for it

I thought june was pride month

Then I get stuck on … well they will rephrsse what I just said, and say/ask it back to me, and I’ll say no, no I phrased what I said specifically, because I meant exactly that.

they’re checking their own understanding by giving you an opportunity to correct them. by rephrasing it identically, it doesnt build any new understanding.

does it not matter to you to be understood by others? maybe that’s why you’re bashing therapy on the internet, asking for CBT worksheets instead of building rapport, and indirectly praising relationships with LLMs?

what makes you think their gender is even relevant to their practice?

CBT being basically the only kind of approach to therapy that is actually empirically shown to reliably actually help most people.

what the fuck are you talking about? this is objectively incorrect based on current evidence-based practices. why the fuck are you spreading misinfo about my job?

CBT IS NOT the only arghh omggg you must be trolling me. I’m not wasting any more on this

yeah they are definitely making dumb choices. it’s probably not because they’re all just dumb though. they probably have a lot of external factors pushing them towards that decision.

for example, many discussions tend to find ways to blame and shame them instead of responding with empathy. sort of like this comment. what benefit do you think you get by reframing things to blame the men here?
