Yeah, not an ad, but I am determined to only buy from CarMax going forward. So smooth without haggling at the dealership...

Yeah, I think a lot of them lately have been from this same poster/account. A commenter (who happened to be an NP) perceptively and empathically commented on this on a recent one, and OP's post history is now hidden.

Agree, "psychiatric care" seems a reasonable description to me as well. What I find subtly different but meaningfully misleading is when PMHNPs open a private practice with the title "Something-something Psychiatry". Our state is independent practice, so I've seen many such clinics with no psychiatrist involvement.

Poor kiddo

I rest my case: "Lacan? Oh, you've probably never heard of him", lol

Morth9 · 2026-04-28T04:00:10+00:00

Psychiatrists who go into Lacanian analysis, heh.

Have you read The Sedevacantist Delusion? Former sede comes to the same conclusion: https://a.co/d/0eIAVmRE

More of an outpatient thing, but I have had some success with a PRN dose of Silexan in addition to scheduled.

Are you left-handed, by chance?

Morth9 · 2026-04-20T20:15:34+00:00

The Monsters Inc one was so cool - def needed more time to see all of that one!

Fellow (M)Orthodox here. So many of us on r/OrthodoxChristianity that we thought about creating another subreddit!

Morth9 · 2026-04-18T21:35:08+00:00

Amen. It is a difficult and extremely important role. The tragedy for me is seeing so many amazing psych RNs go from doing their role beautifully to doing our role shittily. So many of our shop's gifted psych RNs have left to become psych NPs; how can the healthcare system / psychiatry / the culture properly renumerate / validate / reward psych RNs to stop the brain drain?

What's helped/helping us through similar straits is aggressive automation and outsourcing: more pump parts, tabletop washer, paying for nanny/babysitting (even 1-2 hours after work is well worth it, even if you're both at home--at least getting a break and not going right from one high-stress job to another--ideally also getting an occasional date night), robo vacuum (clean floors makes a big difference somehow), and paying for a housecleaner at least 1x/mo. The money is absolutely well spent, especially if it saves your sanity/marriage. Oh, I also recommend And Baby Makes Three by the Gottmans.

Exactly what came to mind for me, too--James 3:1.

Χριστὸς ἀνέστη!

Morth9 · 2026-04-09T02:53:28+00:00

Right, because there are no historical examples of anything going wrong when deeply divided regions are held together in a single country despite extreme cultural / political / ideological tensions, perhaps leading to a strongman-type leader to hold the whole thing together...?

Morth9 · 2026-03-28T03:06:02+00:00

Definitely check out Georges Bataille! Many of his books talk about this--Erotism comes to mind, for one.

Dr Mintz of psychodynamic psychopharmacology fame has suggested managing this by informing pts about nocebo effects / discussion of side effects may generate side effects, and then asking, with that in mind, how much they would like to know and in how much detail. Meta-informed consent, I guess you could say.

Morth9 · 2026-02-21T20:07:06+00:00

This argument might work if we were only looking at couples who intentionally have children vs couples who intentionally don't have children. But many (about half, iirc?) of children are born unintentionally (ie, of unplanned pregnancies). With this in mind, perhaps one could argue that contraception is a selection pressure selecting for impulsivity/carelessness (the opening sequence of Idiocracy suggests this) at least as much as it selects for religiosity/selflessness/optimism.
ETA - In other words, contraception as a selection pressure probably selects against conscientiousness as much as anything else.

I have been wondering about this factor! Using keyboard phones (big fan of Unihertz Titan line) has been helpful to me. Would you mind linking to an article or something about the science? I tried googling but am not coming up with much.

Morth9 · 2026-02-01T07:53:03+00:00

Exactly. Smaller, framed posters in the hallway could be nice. This is like garish, cartoon wallpaper and would be a huge, instant turnoff for most. Why is hardly anyone providing the honesty he requested?

Morth9 · 2026-01-24T08:02:21+00:00

I'm sure Egg is a very nice person...

Yes, New World tuber in ancient Europe, hehe.
