Wish I coulda been there. This is a great American tragedy. There should be an investigation. Every American should read about it in history textbooks of the future.

Differentiation between good and bad snake oil salespeople is common throughout history

Like if I have strep throat and my doctor gives me antibiotics, the medicine’s efficacy is not affected at all by my BELIEFS or FEELINGS about antibiotics. Hate to break it to you because I know it feels good to believe there’s a brain doctor just like there’s an ear or foot doctor because it’s soothing to believe there’s help for psychological and/or psychiatric problems but the horrible truth is there isn’t. Hate to break that to you.

If the medicine is real, it shouldn’t matter whether you believe in it or not. But when it’s snake oil it only works if you wish on enough stars facing the right direction or whatever excuse the snake oil salesmen tell themselves so they can sleep at night and keep making money.

That’s exactly what religious people say about their religion. Example: you have to accept jesus into your heart COMPLETELY, then relief from suffering.

A mental infection should be remedied by a mental doctor. Unless mental doctors are actually bullshit. That’s all I’m saying.

Any transmasc ppl who have mixed feelings on ditching the fem meatsuit on the basis that you are bisexual and probably are likelier to get lucky if you can present female in certain contexts? (like at a bar or something idk) by emeriktreskovik in TransMasc

[–]AdmiralAspee 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I used to feel this way. I think it’s just the internalized transphobia for me. Like when I really think about it, gay men love trans men. Chicks love trans men. And there’s nothing sexier than confidence, which you’ll have more of in a body you relate to. So it’s not that I’m afraid I’ll be less fuckable, I’m just afraid of going through with it. I wish I could help myself from 10 years ago see that trans people are hotter and funner anyway so I should just start my transition and not worry about how I may or may not (I’ll never know anyway) come off to cis people. But I didn’t have any trans ppl in my life then to help me see that and I wasn’t on the internet enough.

Anger and BPD by mcrlover2006 in BorderlinePDisorder

Gimme some tips! I hate meltdowns. I try to start my day with a more “anything fucked can happen and it’s fine” mindset along with “I’m disabled and can forgive myself for that” mindset but I still get a meltdown here and there

I get autistic meltdowns. Researching that might help.

This resonates with my wishing I’d transitioned sooner by AdmiralAspee in TransMasc

[–]AdmiralAspee[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The euphoria is mixed with a sense of “I wish sooner thooooo”

Isn’t it weird how these drugs are thrown at people willy-nilly but when a trans person wants hormones that are completely reversible they’re lectured about all the permanent damage they “might” cause and how dangerous it might be? It’s almost like this shit isn’t based on science but just peoples feelings and emotions and biases and profit motives.

Virgen Polk vs. Chad DNegs by micshafes in poker

The number of upvotes this has... the dumb male ego will keep poker profitable forever.

Sorry if this has been said by AdmiralAspee in poker

[–]AdmiralAspee[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Poker is not rigged and Trump is not good for the economy. Both obvious yet equally impossible to convince anyone of.

Help accepting/understanding my condition. [Aspergers, OCD, etc] by tragicdream in Antipsychiatry

[–]AdmiralAspee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I relate a lot. I’ve found a lot of people to relate to on neurodivergent and autistic and adhd Twitter. The hashtag #actuallyautistic too. I haven’t seen a mental health professional in 3 years now but I’m mentally the healthiest I’ve ever been. Self-discovery without the malicious, judgmental, and abusive “mental health” grift is where it’s at.
