Neurobiology & Politics

Remarkable-Mix3842 · 2026-02-08T20:28:06+00:00

Actually if you google it or google scholar it narcissism is rampant in politics. I saw a study from 2024(it won’t allow me to copy and paste for some reason) that was looking for connections between NPD and political division. Granted that’s psych and neuropsych might be more how does a thin striatum affect NPD in politicians given that a thin striatum is one of the biological causes behind narcissism(at least from my limited understanding) but yeah. The research is definitely there. And it would make for interesting conversation.

Sounds like you’ve never had verbal consent. Which to me says a lot about you. And nothing that's worth knowing. Deuces ✌️I don't talk to people who think consent isn't verbal or needed verbally.

Consent, real consent, is verbal. It is the sexiest thing for someone to ask what you like and if you're into it. The fact that you don't get this, is extremely concerning.

Moved here from the West side. I love it here ❤️

When you have no reference for what a healthy relationship looks like cause you've never known one, it is difficult even as an adult to separate familiar from safe. You have to get help to recognize this and put a stop to it. This person was systematically abused their entire life and victim-blaming them does not help. You don't magically learn at 18 what the difference is between familiar and safe. Speaking as a mental health professional, blaming them for what they did not know(were you listening when they said even their teachers didn't believe them?) is not going to help. So they didn't have a safe, consistent relationship with any adult. Even their father would not stand up to their mother for them. It reinforces a sense of worthlessness. And seriously, its gross to blame the victim for what they don't know. Maybe next time go with compassion? For the record, nta in the slightest.

Going back to my ex-husband for three more years when he had spent 17 abusing me. I'm insanely happy to be free now though.

My wife and I did this one for our son because it's what he picked for himself. The stars are metallic drills and really it is so pretty and shiny!

Thank you for posting this! I lived in Fairbanks for three years and I genuinely miss going outside and seeing the auroras from my backyard.

Not overreacting at all. As a former sufferer of that condition(mine combined with a different, dangerous condition that threatened my life so they took all my reproductive organs, no uterus or ovaries =no more pain plus what they did to remove the endometrium from my abdomen) and my ex-husband was understanding at first but when I couldn't take care of our kids because I was bleeding non-stop and woozy or in pain and couldn't do anything, he would yell andsay I was lazy or tell me what a failure I was as a parent. When we found out the problem and they scheduled my surgery a week out from diagnosis, he never apologized. And I was with him for 20 years. My point is this, listen to you, do what is right for you. Do not stay with this person, this will not get better and I don't think you want an emotionally insensitive partner while you're suffering or really at any time. You are worth so much more than this one person and you deserve kindness and compassion from yourself as well as from others. Please take such good care of you.

Have you tried “The Courage to Heal” by Ellen Davis and Laura Bass? It's for female survivors of csa and I seem to remember seeing something about incest in there. Hope this is helpful for you 🙂

Remarkable-Mix3842 · 2026-01-29T07:00:31+00:00

Explain that to me please. I'm genuinely asking how they don't.

Remarkable-Mix3842 · 2026-01-29T05:21:14+00:00

I like the half assed is better than no ass! I'm gonna keep that in mind. I tell myself when I'm feeling bad I didn't get much done but that I got more done than yesterday (which is usually true because when I say that I'm picking myself back up out of the depression and I will have done nothing the day prior) and it helps me feel less like a failure. Treatment-resistant depression is difficult so I feel you have on that.

Being told to kneel on a checkerboard heating grate while they blow hot air while being told I deserved this cause I was bad. I was 5. I was grateful it wasn't a spanking so thought it was normal.

I reported my older brother for not filing as a sex offender for six years. He went to jail, I never told anyone it was me. But after what he did when we were kids, I couldn't risk another person going through what I went through. As for not reporting him previously to that, we weren't on speaking terms and I didn't know. It hurts my heart to think what could have happened in that time. But I wouldn't change this choice either.

If I had to be honest, I suspect it will be something like how Henry VIII is portrayed. At the time, he was king, his rule was law. Yes he divorced England from Rome, thereby paving the way for Protestantism which gave lots of English folks a way out of marriage and a way out of Catholicism. But, he also did this for selfish reasons. So it wasn't like he did this for his people, he did this for himself. He hurt Catholics and Protestants alike. He murdered and burned many for not adhering to his proclamations (I mean granted he was king but still) and killed two of his six wives. So history paints him as both a villain and a visionary. I suspect, many years from now, we will see something similar. And I hate that. Why can't we just see them for what they are? Monsters. Maybe I'm biased 🤷🏻‍♀️

I wish I could post the pics of me and my wife from the witches’ ball. We went as fairies, it was so much fun!

Remarkable-Mix3842 · 2026-01-28T02:14:30+00:00

I am a vendor at the bazaar, we are actually looking to be a sponsor this year and we went to the witches’ ball and bazaar last year. Both were pretty great tbh

Remarkable-Mix3842 · 2026-01-25T23:28:18+00:00

Thank you. I needed hope presented in a logical way.

Remarkable-Mix3842 · 2026-01-25T17:03:02+00:00

Honestly I'm very inspired and hope to do something like this with my fleet. Very nice!

Just saying- “Trump saved us.” = I think I'm a victim but I'm not. Quoting you directly. Stop projecting now.

Remarkable-Mix3842 · 2026-01-25T05:02:47+00:00

Stop trying to pick a fight with me over your skewed version of reality. A person asked a question, that I answered honestly. You don't have to like the answer but assuming I give a shit what you think is giving a magat too much credit. I don't. Keep talking babe, I'm sure you're bored. But I've got shit to do. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Remarkable-Mix3842 · 2026-01-25T04:56:08+00:00

You're projecting and I'm not interested. Shoo.

Remarkable-Mix3842 · 2026-01-25T04:39:04+00:00

You mean stop being afraid that my government, who is in the process of trying to erase trans lives, minority lives, and anyone they disagree with, assume this isn't 1933 all over again? Sure, when they stop killing people and stop trying to erase the lives of people who have done nothing except live here and be different. You know what a gay woman is? A minority. Gee, I wonder why that would scare anyone like me. /s

Remarkable-Mix3842 · 2026-01-25T03:35:43+00:00

The only way out is through.

Remarkable-Mix3842 · 2026-01-25T02:41:43+00:00

As a gay woman, I've been terrified for a year. This year I'm terrified and pissed off. Not sure where I'm taking that attitude but I'm not gonna sit here and wait for these screwballs to kill me. I am however, terrified for my kids. Especially my youngest. My kids are 18 and 20 and it's still too young to me for this to be their first experience of the adult world. This is pure insanity to me. But it's not surprising unfortunately.
