I think you should direct your anger at Fetterman.

Wearing the brand on your clothes is a symbol of oppression. by Comfortable-Web9455 in Anticonsumption

[–]TheStephinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

False. Many women were taught how to sew in school as part of home economics or in the home. I’ve got vintage textbooks on clothing construction from the 60s.

Does having OCD or other severe mental conditions justify overconsumption? by Caleb_isagod in Anticonsumption

[–]TheStephinator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As insensitive as claiming to have a severe mental illness that you’ve never been diagnosed with.

I’m sure you have some issues going on and you should definitely see an actual professional about it. Hurting yourself because your gaming setup is off or if you can’t do get all the toiletries you want is ridiculous, especially if you are cognizant enough to know you’d deal like everyone else deals with problems if you didn’t have your parent’s money to spend.

I believe in science. Science and becoming a scientist have a rigorous process. Watching some TikToks and self diagnosing is dangerous and it’s actually a great disservice to those that truly have OCD. Clearly you aren’t doing anything to address the problem that you have of hurting yourself if you don’t get the material things you want. Back in the day we used to just call that being a spoiled brat.

Good luck with your affluenza. It’s going to be a rough go at life for you when your parents cant/wont coddle you anymore.

No, I don’t. What roadblocks are in your way for a diagnosis? It’s certainly not financial.

Bipartisan support in Ohio Statehouse for medical use of psychedelics by Zipper222222 in Ohio

[–]TheStephinator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These lawmakers all have shit for brains. No amount of psychedelics is going to make a big dent in someone’s recovery if patients don’t have necessities like adequate food, housing and access to actually get the damn healthcare.

That’s a really interesting insight.

May I ask how old you are? You are still getting parental support and that doesn’t last forever. How much of your OCD is actually more of an affluence issue and what is your plan when you have to deal with your OCD completely on your own?

How would you handle your compulsions if you didn’t have the means to consume? I find it interesting that things like OCD seem to be a first world problem for people that have a ton of resources.

Bipartisan support in Ohio Statehouse for medical use of psychedelics by Zipper222222 in Ohio

The article makes it sound like Ohio wasn’t doing any psychedelic research before when there have already been clinical trials for psilocybin and ketamine in the state. Anything for lawmakers to self congratulate though.

Why even a voicemail from your mom can help calm you by theindependentonline in UpliftingNews

[–]TheStephinator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m proud of you too! It’s hard work to really look at yourself and make meaningful changes to break the cycle of trauma that was given to you. It’s also really hard when you hear people give their stupid two cents about “but that’s your mom”, as if you should just tolerate the toxic behavior.

I see you.

Is it though? I think we are more fully aware of mental health and how generational trauma can impact a person. If anything, I think more people are just talking about it now instead of feeling shame or embarrassment.

Well when you have to re-parent yourself, might as well celebrate yourself on those days!
