@shortstories - neither describes philosophy very well, but between the two, it leans toward religion (for being ultimately unfalsifiable).

@shortstories - Philosophy is similarly useful, but not scientific. It's inexact. It's nebulous. But still, it can be useful.

@shortstories - voted religion.

But I divide psychology into two distinct categories. There's the theoretical, which can be very useful in explaining why people act as they do, and can help predict behavior & can help to shape society in a desirable way.

And then there's clinical psychiatry, where a patient pays a "doctor" to help them figure out their own life. I'm not saying that's entirely useless... But it's useless in at least 80% of cases. This is the side that falls into "religion".

@Stahesh - I've noticed that. I've been dealing with the aftermath of a male psychopath (my own amateur diagnosis - man has no conscience, zero regard for others, highly manipulative, etc.) in personal life.

It's the first time I've felt compelled to deal with any such thing, since I was red-pilled about 10yrs ago.

And the thing that struck me most, was how much like a woman this man is. The resemblance is amazing and unmistakable.

Polls are fun:

So I have a hypothesis, that bipolarism is just female nature unrestrained. I've been seeing a trend of normally bipolar females being rediagnosed as autistic.

And I can't help thinking that there's a movement afoot among clinical psychiatrists... something like "Oh shit, they're on to us. Mix up the diagnoses, quick."

What do you guys think? 🤔

I don't know entirely why, 🤔 but this makes me laugh. Jeff Bezos...

If I were feeling envious, this article is a tonic for that. 😏🍻

@Indignation - Good Riddance or RIP? 🤔🤔

Eh, I'd say not quite either... but results are sub-optimal. 💁🏻‍♂️

@Scubbie - They really went all-out for that holiday display. It's kinda like a gigantic ant farm.

@Gonzo17 @rimugu - I was gonna say... 🤔 That was awfully quick! 😅😆🍻

@VeganMGTOW @LysanderMooner - I hope that Andrew Tate is Jesus's general.

The mind virus may finally be able to die.

@RodrickSage - Japan consented, and Greece consented. America would consent.

These people ceased to be my countrymen, long ago. 🥃🫗

@Scubbie - I recommend a natural setting... 🤔 Camping would be ideal. Artificial lights and human interaction with strangers and various passersby, is a recipe for disaster.

If you have anyone who can be a babysitter - keep you out of trouble, and talk you through any crazy emotional/PTSD shit that might crop up.. I would recommend that too. You may owe them a huge favor afterward. 😅

But I say: fuck it. Go for it. Take at least a big cap (I took 2.5 at 41yo - wasn't gonna miss that train). 😎👍🍻

@Scubbie - ➡️ I was with a guy who was sober, and has turned out to be a best friend. (If ever there was a doubt, this night proved it.)

I definitely needed a sober babysitter to keep me from getting arrested, or jumping off any bridges. The night started giddy & fun - like alice in wonderland shit. Then it took a brutal turn. But I made a lot of progress toward peace by the end of it - very therapeutic.

@Scubbie - I've had mushrooms on 3 occasions.

1. 18yo. They were fun, with visuals and general trippiness. I was too young to appreciate their depth.

2. 26yo. I got a bag and everyone said "be careful!!". So I took bits and bites over the course of days... and I got bupkus. Very underwhelming.

3. 41yo. Hoo-boy! These were done in a conscious effort to deal with some very heavy emotional shit. It was an ugly trip, but it did a world of good. ➡️

@shortstories - Cousin marriage was outlawed by the Catholic Church sometime in the middle ages.

Was it because of all the birth defects? Nah. Was it because the Bible said so? Nope.

The reason they did that, was because families were accumulating too much wealth. It was communist thinking that created such a taboo. And I find that funny, and sad.

@shortstories - I see in my mind's eye, early Egyptians as semetic (like Arabs, dark features & tanned bronze skin). But the Ptolemiec dynasty (of which Cleopatra was one) were light-featured, bronze skinned Greeks. Though the Egyptian populace of their time, remained semetic. 🫡🍻

@I_AmTheKnight - This was a pretty good presentation. He's clearly on his way.

@Indignation - the food looks ill, but I'd smash the female. Until she gets too fat, anyway.

@Indignation - Not gonna lie: that looks like a day well spent. 🍻

@Indignation - Well now I have questions... 🤔
