They both need to just fuck already, dayumn. 

Anyways, ackshually my coworker told our whole department that his wife is a therapist and that she uses chat gpt for her clients...

and ackshually the rubber duck method isn't supposed to be therapeutic but to avoid skipping steps in logic.

[Propagandhim]

I just said whatever helps you is valid

if it's not helping you, maybe you should stop

that doesn't suddenly mean it's universally unhelpful to everyone 



can someone explain why I can't post a single thing on this site without this guy jumping all over me? I can go days without posting and the instant I'm back and I say "hey I just ate pizza" and he's like "um ackchewally to be fair"

Little Cesar’s expanding here is god send, even if the quality is mediocre at best.

[Uncle]

The modern "everyone should have a therapist" is something I disagree with. Seems like a marketing ploy to inflate their industry, tbh, and I'm only making that judgment based on what I see as the merits (or lack thereof) of casual therapy.

also in the realm of "don't talk to cops" they always say to demand to speak with "your" lawyer

does everyone here have a lawyer? is that something everyone just has lying around, and I'm missing out?

[Boredfrom]

So you blame people who are influenced by hype alone that they don't read about the product before making a purchase?

I feel there is a whole dimension to capitalism that can be gleaned here. Namely, how it is designed to exploit consumers just as much as workers.

Capitalism made me buy Silksong blindly.

Boredfrom you need to jerk off or something

Nah. Don’t gaslight me bro.

if someone told me I needed to jerk off I would immediately hire them as my therapist, that is some sage advice

the dangers of a forum built around "well actually"-ing some other gay forums

everyone here is an annoying well actually cunt

Well, actually the forum isn't built around that.

To be fair, you jumped in with a "nah" response to him first. Not that that's bad, but you did initiate the disagreement.

But anyway, the therapist industry is IMO by and large worthless (or in the case of gender dysphoria affirmation, extremely harmful), but I also think there are some good apples amongst them. But yeah, I don't recommend therapy unless you're suicidal or need pro-family marriage counseling or something. The modern "everyone should have a therapist" is something I disagree with. Seems like a marketing ploy to inflate their industry, tbh, and I'm only making that judgment based on what I see as the merits (or lack thereof) of casual therapy.

Try to deal with extremely depressed family members that refuse to seek therapy and never improve.

Try to read his post where he specified that there are use cases for therapy.

It's to stop them questioning you, they can't continue once you ask for this. Generally if you don't have one they'll give you a phone book so you can dox a lawyer, sometimes they have lists of one's who will come down. There are attorneys who will show up to get you released and then help you find someone to take the actual case. (I honestly don't know why the public defenders office can't do that.)

Since we're care posting, I am actually a big stan for "everyone should have a therapist". 

And I mean a good therapist, who is professional, careful, and insightful. Not a bobble-head validator, which I think is what most people who suggest and ascribe to this line of thinking are going for.

[Boredfrom]

Try to read his post where he specified that there are use cases for therapy.

The problem, Benji, is that is the kind of attitude that make my family evade therapy unless “is justified”. They can have constant somatic illness, daily insomnia, emotional outbursts and chronic depression… but they will not seek help because “is not big deal” or “I’m not suicidal”.  

Obviously, I agree that you don’t need a therapist for everything but that attitude of “almost all are a bunch of quacks” and “don’t be weak” really irritates me to no end. 

Try to read the room, my dude.

Nah, "reading the room" commands are bullshit trying to shut down dissenters by bullying them. Especially when the "room" is entirely a metaphoric conception that doesn't exist except in the dictator's head.

You're also again reading things into what was said. Pogi was disputing the idea that everyone needs therapy, he wasn't saying any of this you're saying at all. Your examples entirely fit into his designation of there being legitimate use cases. Much of the psychiatry/psychological community does exactly what he says and it's not beyond dispute because they openly reject the idea that their patients should get better and no longer need them. The fact that these quacks are diagnosing "average" people with not just PTSD but the replacement that was created from too many people getting PTSD diagnoses (CPTSD) is all the proof you need of what these harmful people are doing with the profession to benefit themselves.

And in case you want to read into me saying that by claiming I'm saying they're immoral, no, they're operating in a system that rewards them for being unethical, unless they demonstrate that they're aware of this and choosing to do it I can't blame them anymore than I blame people who think the state is legitimate. As always, I prefer to ascribe to ignorance rather than malice. And relating to the conversation about the difference between here and Era, I think that's an important distinction because they almost always ascribe everything, even the modeling of space suit asses, to malice. Ignorance is a good faith assumption, malice is not. The former presumes the person would act differently with different knowledge, the latter denies they would because the cruelty is the point.

Sera is also one of the first trans women in Marvel comics.

Came here to post this.

Okay… so? 

Gaiman got her after winning a lawsuit agaisnt macfarlane
Than he sold her to marvel

Ah, that Angela.

Nah. You are the one gaslighting and bullying me by pretending I just want to shut up Pogi and is as invalid to say “that’s why this irritates me, I have been personally affected by this attitude”

Especially when the "room" is entirely a metaphoric conception that doesn't exist except in the dictator's head.

The Edit

Edit: I usually see things through a left wing lens and I've been fooled by corporate messaging like this before, so I've grown skeptical. Some people pointed out that the right wing could and will target her, and I hadn't looked at it from that perspective. Didn't mean for this to come across as something bad, sorry if it did.

I’m going to be honest with you and tell you that there is a also a lot of patients that will say a therapist is a quack if they don’t validate them or tell them what they want to hear.

Self fulfilling prophecy, but in my case is more difficult to convince someone to seek therapy when the overall attitude of this country is “suck it up the pain”.

I have tried therapy. All six times was paying hundreds of dollars for a gaslighting quack. Opening up to these assholes only for them to not bother listening. Asking them to do thier jobs, even a tolerable level, is impossible. Better therapy would be to go back to being an alcoholic, or hope that the therapist is replaced with a knife wielding maniac because bleeding out beats saying a syllable.

So i tried using ChatGPT. And it felt dirty. But it listened and didnt cost money.

But it really exposed how awful and worthless most therapists are. How can you be worried about AI taking your job when it actually does it as opposed to dicking around. "A better therapist" is a ChatGPT update, and these clowns havent even considered listening as an option.
