It sure seems to me like you’re trying really hard to paint me as a racist. You can fuck right off with that bullshit.

Nope. You aren’t getting my point and I don’t feel like explaining it any further.

No matter what he meant, he sounds like he’s trying to paint the people with legitimate gripes about the way he handles the company as the harrassers when he is a huge driver of the problem.

It’s like Republicans complaining about the quality of current public schooling and blaming ‘woke’ policies when they’ve been the ones cutting school funding for decades, and they know it. It’s feigned concern.

Yeah. Inattentive ADHD caught late in life here. Thanks for the book recommendation. I’m definitely gonna check it out.

It is for sure. I’m glad you had that experience.

To be honest, just talk therapy worked the best for me.

CBT tells you to be aware of your surroundings and to question all of your negative thoughts to frame them in a more positive way. The problem I had with it is that all negative thoughts are not invalid, and tricking yourself into thinking they are is basically gaslighting yourself. Also, when I was in a rough spot and having a hard time figuring out what to do, questioning all of my thoughts just led to more distrust in myself, which had a negative effect on my mental health, not positive.

I don’t think CBT is necessarily bad when used in the right situations, but it is definitely not a cure-all like the current buzz about it tries to sell it as and it can absolutely have a negative impact.

Yeah I had a major issue with CBT because it’s essentially gaslighting yourself.

Tom Cruise does that for me.

Sounds sorta like victim-shaming…

Yellowjackets are absolute dicks too. You need to kill them with fire.

Good shit.

This is me for sure. XD

I really can’t wait until Linux phones are stable. So tired of Google’s bullshit and no matter how hard I try I can’t get used to iPhones.

Definitely all search engines are getting worse. They all use one algorithm or another to find results, and advertisers are quick to obtain that algorithm and exploit it.

Or Benny Hill. I can hear Yackety-Sax playing while they run around the place and end up with their gun stuck to the MRI machine.

Malicious

In the heavy construction industry you always make sure you have a local plot of land for idle equipment, material storage, office trailers, etc. before you start a project. You have to pay for that shit though and you generally have to leave it the way you found it or better. You can’t just park your equipment on someone else’s land and expect everything to be OK. Everyone performing any type of large project knows this. This lawsuit would have happened no matter who owned the land.

Dammit… WTF?

Yeah. Trump is well known as a deadbeat but his followers don’t seem to mind that either.
