    Depression

    I think you make a good analogy here. And I'm glad it was helpful for you. I know some find it helpful and dont dispute that. I made my comment in the context of a person who has tried more than one therapist and found them not helpful, but is being met with a string of "try a different one!"...

    Depression

    We're probably not allowed to say so in the grown up section because it may hurt someones feelings, but at some point in your exploration of therapy I hope you consider the conclusion many of us have reached, that its just a (mostly benevolent) trick, and that any good that could be "achieved by...

    This, exactly. No matter what excuse a person made for it, no matter what motivation they claimed, the reality was that they were treated as an actual RL woman by a sizable fraction of players in the game. The purpose of a system is what it does.

    Dune - Space Fascists and Sand Penises

    All the sex shit in the last 2 books is so cringe it makes me question my love of the series every time I re-read it. Its widespread in scifi of the era and its all so fucking cringe. I really wish authors of that era could have just rubbed one out and got back to writing instead of inserting...

    After the last episode this Mexican chick is a strong contender for most annoying Sheridan character ever. "When I kick you out you're not supposed to stay gone. You're supposed to figure out what you did wrong, then come back and apologize. Next time I kick you out, don't stay out!"

    What tickles your pickle

    Such a boomer thing. My parents do that shit too. The phone rings and they will literally get up from the dinner table to go get it. It doesnt even rustle me, I find it hilarious. Whats worse is my inlaws. They'll answer their cell phone while still sitting at the table.

    I dunno. I don't think they mentioned the length of the sequence, only that it was a 78 minute long signal. Assuming the signal encodes about 10-100 bases per second it'd get you into the range of virus genome sizes.

    The worst thing about this argument (and holy fuck have we rehashed this a million times) Yeah its gay to roleplay a female character in a RPG, but thats been going on so long its practically a tradition by now. its much, much gayer to play a first person game in third person.

    Come on man you know you have to keep milking a cow, for its own sake. Dairy farmers can't even take a break for half a day without problems for the animals. You could argue that its not necessary to pick apples, in the same way its necessary to milk a cow, but that still wouldnt make it...

    The "cant pick an apple" thing is just absolutely retarded. They already said they're milking cows. Picking an apple is the same as milking a cow. Apples arent living organisms. The seeds are, true, but you don't eat the seeds. It was an interesting ethical dilemma but the can't pick an apple...

    ya know, we all question whether democracy was a good idea in the politcal arena, but looking at the last 2 years asshat winner and the final two for this year... it sure seems to be working in this context. Question is, is it the lack of vote fraud or the lack of women voting?

    Absolutely, and just like the gay stuff they never even bother having any characters even notice it or react in a realistic way.

    Its a name shamelessly stolen from Tolkien. Its spelled right in the first post. The forum software tells you when you mispell it. But like 9/10 posts in the thread still manage to mis spell my name. In exactly the same weird looking way.

    Completely fair. I concede the point, if you actually made it from scratch with homemade chocolate pudding and a homemade pie crust thats a real pie. Ain't nobody who brings a chocoloate cream pie making it from scratch. But in principle, in theory, I agree with the exception you've carved out.

    Chocolate cream pie is such a conundrum. I mean, its fake "food magazine" food. Its not cooking. I have a hard time really thinking of it as a pie, they bought 2 or 3 ingredients and put one on top of the other then served it. Skill-less, soulless, just an embarrassment to anyone who takes...

    Absolutely true. Their gyro is surprisingly good. And their crinkle cut fries are the only properly seasoned fries in the entire fast food industry. Their burgers are always a little disappointing, but nowhere near as bad as those shitty warmed up lunchmeat sandwiches they're famous for.

    It is absolute bullshit accounting to say you only make 3-6% ""profit"" while paying your administrators high six figure salaries. Absolute bullshit, and it happens across apparently every industry. I don't understand why people accept and then parrot back this obvious lie of accounting.
