Being a bodyless head with a freak long tongue is not only okay—it can be an exciting opportunity
In the US, I think it’s more common to charge after. I worked at an agency whose paperwork stated they would charge before the session, but they never actually did.
Personally, I’m not gonna cancel a session just because the card declines anyway- I can be paid another time; so it’s much less awkward to just charge after imo
I’m pretty sure the target audience for American Dad is teenagers?
Yeah, it seems most people still on reddit prefer the newer mobile UI. I never used one of the ‘fancy’ modern reddit apps, and I’m lowkey scared for the inevitable switch I’ll have to make when Eternity finally dies. All the other FOSS apps left have a very ‘iOS’ feel to them that I can’t stand
ASPD is far too broad to be worth treating on it’s own. If someone struggles with impulse control and emotion dysregulation, sure, those symptoms are treatable, and treating them is likely to improve the person’s quality of life.
However, most people with ASPD meet criteria because they break the law, lie about it (duh), and don’t feel bad about it (why would they if they did it on purpose?). This should not be pathologized, and doesn’t need treatment.
I don’t even believe in free will, so I expect you’re right that we won’t come to an understanding on this lol 😅
You can’t change society without changing the people first.
This is neoliberal propaganda
I am a therapist and I meet diagnostic criteria for ASPD.
The diagnosis itself exists to pathologize the individual to remove blame from the system that fosters this behavior.
The DSM is a joke
The point is more why are we treating the symptom rather than the disease.
Hell yeah, great point
People who take advantage of others are manipulators and by definition that’s anti-social. Why is the system so broken that we can’t imprison scammers?
What the fuck, how is that your conclusion?
The “disease” is the lack of safety nets- a lack of education, resources, opportunities. “Anti-social” is a copout term to justify the status quo- to pathologize what are ultimately systemic failures manifested in the behavior of individuals. The disease is capitalism, and imprisoning people for “anti-social” behaviors is absolutely the wrong answer.
I block every liberal with a shit take I come across (like 200 .world users so far lol) so that could explain why I haven’t seen it much
That is whack; thanks for sharing
That’s been my only exposure to the term, is hearing/seeing anarchists say it. Do liberals really use that term?
I’m aware, I’ve just never heard/seen a liberal use the word “tankie”- though I don’t often expose myself to liberals… Are libs actually using that word now? I would literally laugh out loud at the hypocrisy if I witnessed that
Do MLs consider anarchists liberals now?
There’s always xcancel. Does that not solve most people’s concern?
This format doesn’t work on Eternity. Eternity >!does them like this!<. Does this way not work for people not on Eternity?
Usually the goal of saying that is simply to hurt your feelings and/or establish themselves as both above you and distinct from you
If it’s said by someone you care about or have to regularly spend time around, it might be worth addressing, though otherwise it’s probably best to ignore/block
If it’s the former, deciding how to address it requires first identifying your priorities between:
There’s a DBT worksheet series for this that I’ve used a lot, personally, and have found super helpful
I used Signal for virtual sessions during the pandemic (the law allowed it then), and I would absolutely pay them monthly if I could switch back. I even thought about emailing them to ask about a BAA- as far as I know, their model means that it’s only paperwork that has to be done to call it hipaa compliant
Does this mean no one speaks in your dreams?
