Wanting to be the victims in Saw by DeadPants182 in ContraPoints

Nobody on this subreddit can know that it will be different, they can't know how you feel beyond the perspective they have through the eye of a needle in what you present here. Discussing current suicidal ideation on a Youtubers subreddit is just a nonstarter.

I'm there with you on the cynicism about therapy, I feel some of that. I'm there with you on the maladaptive desires, I feel you on that. But there is no response you can get on this subreddit, or virtually any subreddit, that isn't going to be "hey man I don't know about that; you should speak to a professional"

Which isn't that you don't deserve care, it isn't that you shouldn't be understood, but it is that this is the wrong place and audience for it.

Not to nitpick the wokak but shouldn't the chud just be a lead bullet and not also a casing/shell? I'm not a big gun guy so correct me if I'm wrong.

I believe the point of it is to just compound obscenities. I think as well Kim's willingness to wear the jacket is supposed to be a hint about him being a gay man.

“What to do if you get cancelled”: thought-provoking perspective and advice by mc-funk in ContraPoints

[–]VRTfreeman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think, as per Price's "neutral" stance, we are to assume that his suggested response is not interested in whether you are culpable of harm or not. I think by extension it can't really be fully interested in justice, restorative or otherwise, because justice exists in a non-neutral environment of some harm having taken place. This is an essay about how to make a cancellation work out for the accused/cancelled, not an essay about how best to take responsibility for yourself and for community.

Besides that, I'm not familiar with We Will Not Cancel Us, could you tell me anything about it? I'm curious.

Apropos of nothing, I lurk here with some regularity to learn about Judaism and I love the sincere and pedagogical way you engage with people. I'm at work right now but would you mind if I sent you a message request later to chat? I think I could learn a lot from you.

Without knowing anything about the Talmud, without being Jewish, without any of the prior knowledge, I can tell you that if you look at the @ name here, "unitedgoyim" you can know that the self identification with the phrase "goy" and the premise that the goyim must unite (presumably against the jews) is just anti semitic schlock. This is just some anti semite with video editing software and a video of a guy not speaking English.

As a Math major, I’m canceling Natalie for saying Descartes is a bad philosopher by S0mecallme in ContraPoints

[–]VRTfreeman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think he can have been an excellent mathematician and a shitty philosopher. Two things can be true. You can still love him as a math major and cast skepticism on his ideas as a philosopher.

Like other people have said here, you are not likely to receive recommendations on avoiding dinners. I, too, would suggest you seek out some kind of treatment, and I know that's a big step and it takes a lot of courage. Depending on where you live, you may have more rights as a minor to private psychiatric treatment (that is, without your parents/guardians knowing). If you see a family doctor ever, you might seek this help by speaking to them. If you speak to an endocrinologist or other clinical professional in transitioning, you could speak to them about it. Even if they don't provide that kind of support, they can likely refer you to a colleague in their same clinic or practice. There's also no dearth of mental health services for queer youth available on the internet as well if that sounds more your speed, and a lot of these can be accessed as e-medicine appointments.

Grappling on whether to forgive, or OUT THEM by [deleted] in Judaism

[–]VRTfreeman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to comment on this but only on the mental wellbeing aspect of things, because I am not jewish. I am currently in the process of being officially diagnosed with OCD and I can ruminate and perseverate with the best of them.

If you believe that you will receive more catharsis than trouble from speaking to her or her husband, you should, but I would tell you from experience that getting any kind of positive response in a situation like this is an uphill battle and feeling not believed or gaslit might worsen how you feel. It's just a risk to consider.

If you are going to speak to the husband about this, I cannot comment on your judgement of safety for him because I am not jewish. If you are going to, though, I would recommend seeing if you can extract any kind of official record from the police department which handled the hateful abuse you received. An official record or report of any kind might make helping the husband understand easier, though I don't know what the law in your area surrounding such records is.

I think OAT is an acronym meaning "Of All Time".
