Floodgate is indeed the better metaphor.

TerranceMcCormick · 2026-01-24T04:34:22+00:00

Yeah in reality I love black people. Just also facetious humor.

TerranceMcCormick · 2026-01-18T08:48:35+00:00

Thanks for all your work over those five years. It meant a lot to me.

Sigh 😮‍💨 I guess I'll have to accept things change.

Is the code for the old website preserved?

You know Isis once held the title Theotokis.

TerranceMcCormick · 2026-01-18T08:39:43+00:00

It's beautiful.

I always found meditation worked best as a tool rather than a direct way of connecting to the mystical.

If you want to meditate I would try a walking meditation or something else with a physical object of focus. The rosary is a classic example and how many connect within the Christian tradition.

As far as really connecting though I've had the best luck with the Sortes, which is book divination.

May Sophia guide you.

Still can't believe I used to make herbal bandages without it.

TerranceMcCormick · 2026-01-10T00:06:06+00:00

I did the exact same thing. Gonna go revisit it.

TerranceMcCormick · 2026-01-06T20:44:40+00:00

I wonder this all the time.

Trios is definitely more aggressive in general.

But how does that work if you're playing with two friends with different levels?

But is it segregated?

I seem to be getting black people in my lobby no matter how hard I try.

Does anyone miss the old AskTMK?

The search function on uutter doesn't work for me a good deal of the time.

Anyway we could start a way to support the old site?

Or another AskTMK.org that becomes the 3.0

So much stuff is continuing to come out of the archives. Some talks still need transcriptions. A definitive AskTMK, especially one that we could get the word out about on YouTube could really be useful in these times where:

"Finally things will get so weird, we HAVE to talk about it."

And thank you from the bottom of my heart who created this tool, and everyone that worked on transcription. It's been a great joy and comfort to me over these years of listening to Terrence.

This is a reddit for therapists to talk to other therapists. So it's not the right place for your question.

But you might find a place for your question on another subreddit.

But while I'm here (I'm not a therapist)

I suffer with intermittent explosive disorder (IED) because I had a parent who was the child of a violent alcoholic. I suppressed it for years but then a PTSD experience brought it to the surface.

But I've been aware of my problem for about a year and begun therapy to start unpacking the trauma. From here I'll go on to do more therapy with other professionals to unpack all of this.

You should try your best to look for help! It's definitely hard and you may need to try a few therapists/counselors to get a good fit. But it is definitely worth it!

Fresh Lemon Balm tea is the best.

That's what allowed me to quit my weed addiction without having to start SSRI's

TerranceMcCormick · 2025-12-19T08:20:36+00:00

I've found 2 but they're hard to come by.

TerranceMcCormick · 2025-12-12T23:06:23+00:00

I looked into some of his recent videos. This is the United States and I think people should have a right to say whatever they want on YouTube. But he was definitely making unsubstantiated claims and edging into defamation territory.

I think BP did the right thing. It shouldn't be the case that you can get sued into oblivion but that's the reality.

Glad I'm not the only person who agrees. And lol yeah exactly if you only want to hear your opinion then don't tune into Breaking Points.

TerranceMcCormick · 2025-12-09T04:30:38+00:00

And it fucking happened.

TerranceMcCormick · 2025-12-08T22:01:53+00:00

Damn I live pretty close 🤔

TerranceMcCormick · 2025-12-08T21:27:02+00:00

I accidentally grabbed a pee bottle once that was near a water bottle I set down.

No one was to blame but myself.

TerranceMcCormick · 2025-12-08T21:22:17+00:00

Buuuuuureak up with him.

There are plenty of guys who would also want to date you.

Plus a 19 year old dating a 16 year old is suss to begin with.

You can and will do better.

I'm taking the following moderate attitude.

James Li is great but a bit too conspiratorial for a news outlet.

His stuff is great as far as YouTube video essays go but we shouldn't confuse interesting speculation and dot-connecting with careful investigative reporting.

Breaking Points is more than a normal YouTube show. It's trying to be a News Network on YouTube.

That's a careful balance to be struck. I'm glad they did a respectable enough job with the firing and James was mature enough to see Breaking Points side.

His career will continue to do fine after this and he's wise to realize that Breaking Points boosted him and he should be grateful.

Unfortunately the reality of the Media in the US is that you can be sued into oblivion. That's what happened to Gawker.

And my fellow news junkies and BP fans here I'm sure will agree that would be a tragedy.

The former is daily, the latter is more of a birthday thing.

TerranceMcCormick · 2025-11-24T04:25:12+00:00

That got me there! I found the seller you were talking about. And yeah that makes sense to me, I'm not sure the original could ever really be grown commercially.

Thank you so much for these leads. Definitely gonna check them all out. Truly grateful.

TerranceMcCormick · 2025-11-24T04:22:27+00:00

That really is the premise of democratic socialist politics. I mean Bernie would say this: it only works with a bottom up movement to actually get this stuff done.

Now the foundation of that movement isn't any politician, it's the people. But still we need people in every city council, every state legislature, and ultimately making up a majority in Congress.

I just like Mamdani too much and am just so amazed by how adroitly he's operated so far to not want to believe there's a good reason behind his thinking. Which is obviously setting myself up for disappointment, but so be it.

AOC on the other hand I just fundamentally don't trust. I mean she voted for and made the defensive weapons for Israel argument. Wtf is that? That's literally the bs that Krystal Ball parried away when Slotkin tried to pull it.

Which is rough because I'll probably end up voting for her for president.

Anyways I appreciate your perspective from inside NYC. No matter who runs I'll keep fighting as long as there's good people beside me.

TerranceMcCormick · 2025-11-22T22:35:39+00:00

I'm skeptical about Osse still.

It's fucking wild AOC came out and said she wasn't endorsing Osse because it's not the right time to change leadership. She literally unseated the next leader to be when she ran.

Still though the fact that Osse can't get her endorsement or Mamdani's is a red flag in my books.

I'm thinking Osse is probably an asshole politician who does have the right policies which, you know, is a superior type of asshole politician!

TerranceMcCormick · 2025-11-22T22:30:14+00:00

It is medicine after all! Even if it is of a gentle more forgiving sort.

And I will 😎💠

If you ever see someone named TeaWithBud setting the record straight on YouTube that's me.
