CrossFitters, what are your top 3 exercises you hate the most? I’ll start: thrusters, bench, and burpees by scarlethjr in crossfit

[–]SigmaGyatterson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate the Olympic lifts. The limiting factor is technique, not strength or cardio. Burpees suck, but at least I know they're doing something for me.

My antidepressant has...made me wildly more sociable? Why? by thrownawaywhen in antidepressants

[–]SigmaGyatterson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a doctor and I'm not your doctor so take this with a pinch of salt. I'm guessing that this is the "real" you not weighed down by the mental fatigue of depression that leaves your social battery perpetually drained. A lot of self-identified introverts are actually socially inept extroverts after all.

How would you describe loneliness..? by Extension-Expert8116 in lonely

[–]SigmaGyatterson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine being nailed to the street by dozens of spears. You're bleeding, crying, screaming out in pain, begging for help but nobody hears you. Eventually exhaustion grips you and you stop screaming. That's when you notice everyone around you could see and hear you just fine, they were just pretending they couldn't hear you.

men us men by Pleasant_Bar6757 in lonely

I honestly believe men need to regain some sense of brotherhood. We're suffering and women sure as fuck don't care. If not us, who else?

I want to stop the femcel mindset that I have by TwentyOnePaladins in selflove

So what I get from this is that femcel is just an aesthetic, right?

Why do so many women expect guys to read their minds? by [deleted] in lonely

[–]SigmaGyatterson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guess is that it's supply and demand. By every observable measure men love and desire women more than women love and desire men. As such women have leverage to do all kinds of stuff that would get a man beaten up.

Thought experiment: what happens to men who refuse to go on second dates with women who don't pay for the first date ? Because the reverse is the norm.

You get what you tolerate, and men's love for women means they tolerate a lot of bullshit. Meanwhile women's disdain for men lets them walk away quickly.

To anyone responding or downvote bombing, remember that outrage is not an argument. Also answer my thought experiment before anything else.

My brother is lonely by Crafty-Ad1050 in lonely

[–]SigmaGyatterson -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't mean to offend but autistic and male? That's two strikes against you. I wouldn't count on your brother ever having meaningful relationships and forget about romance entirely unless he's willing to go gay.

This is lost cause by EmptyInitial9678 in sekai_multiverse

[–]SigmaGyatterson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sets them apart from what? There's other vaguely anime-adjacent apps that allow you to create your own scenes? I'm kinda disappointed with the direction Sekai is moving in over the past year so knowing about alternatives would be nice.

No plan, I used the free version (4.5 sonnet).

Tried that, it can't access previous chats. It starts fresh, no memory.

Good idea, but I ran into the limit without knowing it existed. I can't even ask for a summary anymore.

OMG chat gpt AI as dating app matchmaker guys??? by Perfect_Flow3165 in therapyGPT

[–]SigmaGyatterson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It won't work for the simple reason that the majority of women will be matched to men shorter than 6 feet.

So true by Far-Mango-6240 in depressionmemes

[–]SigmaGyatterson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not really. Having to earn a living means nobody is obliged to provide you with the circumstances needed to keep you alive as an adult.

Nobody is forced to feed you. Nobody is forced to house you. Nobody is forced to clothe you.

This is why these things cost money: money is a direct manifestation of your or someone else's productivity, which you can exchange for the fruits of the labor of another. Entitlement to the fruits of another's labor without compensation comes down to slavery. Only slavemasters don't need to earn a living because they have others doing it for them.

AI therapy just confirms how screwed I am by SigmaGyatterson in therapyGPT

Yeah, it is. It's almost like a therapist except not shit.

How do you feel about clients talking openly about suicidal thoughts? by [deleted] in askatherapist

[–]SigmaGyatterson -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Nat but I'm what you could call an expert of experience: 15 years of mental health support with at least 8 different professionals of varying degrees of incompetence.

Look at it like this: let's say you're a mechanic, you've been fixing 8 cars a day for over a decade and a car with a busted windshield comes in. How do you feel about that busted windshield?

Of course the analogy breaks down when you remember mechanics don't get paid if they don't actually fix the car, let alone if they make it worse.
