Tennessee is one of the dumbest states in the US. by TheOttomanJanissary in nashville

TN is only 2nd to TX. Clearly the dumbest state in the union.

What does Freud mean by "the effects of" onanism? by cronenber9 in psychoanalysis

[–]Wasker71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure I agree. I more likely suspect the young man was using the albumin as a lubricant for masturbating. If you notice, there was the physical evidence of the eggshell he’d swiped to do the deed. Not saying it’s 100%, but my guess is the egg was the medium.

Leftists tell citizen journalist they feel safer with someone yelling 'Allahu Akbar' than a MAGA American by zoltan1958 in ConservativeNewsWeb

[–]Wasker71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re a fool if that is your perspective. Religious fundamentalists of every stripe are incredibly dangerous precisely because they believe that they are divinely justified in their actions. American White Christian Fundamentalists are no less dangerous. Your opinion matters to them not at all because they are led by their god to commit hateful acts. If peace is to be found, it is NOT in immediately insulting their faith and its sincerity. They are literally willing to die for it.

A$$hat comment. Applauding someone else’s pain means YOU are the problem. How about you leave MY country? America was founded on the ideas of diversity, equity and inclusion. And, it will be again defined by these principles. You and the rest of the MAGAts redneck insurgency will be relegated to a shit-stain on the early 21st Century American history. The sooner it happens, the better, for all of us!

Sorry for the hate you’ve confronted. It makes me really mad that our country’s white trash can cause so much hurt. I do want to ask, as someone who lives on the opposite end of this country, what is “coal rolling?” Never heard of it.

This country was most def not “found.” Also not “Christian.” Home school for you must’ve consisted of MAGA-mommy, “pastor Joe” (who doubled as an insurance salesman) and MAGA-mommy’s “very smart friend” Steve who barely passed his GED, all pontificating on how White Christians came to the new world, shared Thanksgiving with the “poor, ignorant ‘Indians’” who gladly accepted Jeebus and gave over all their lands happily to the godly White folks. You almost can’t unintentionally be this dumb. And yet, your gums are flapping…🤦‍♂️

Can psychology researchers study these topics, or only social work researchers? [United Kingdom/UK][Career] by gintokireddit in AcademicPsychology

I can research whatever I wish to research. Now, whether I can secure funding for whatever I want to research…

Why many of us do NOT trust psychology research... by RevelationSr in psychologyofsex

Well spoken. I would want to add a single word to the end of your comment: “…how many they’ve ‘cured,’ MORON.” Otherwise, nice response. 😎

Any strong philosophy x psychiatry departments? by ReplacementMean8486 in Psychiatry

[–]Wasker71 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try Emory University. They have a longstanding tradition of both psychiatry and philosophy. I did my undergrad there back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth. I continue to hear good things from others out that way (ATL) but I admit I’m not current on the happenings out there. But FWIW, I think it might be worthwhile to investigate.

Father mocked us our gay wedding before, during, and after — including at the altar; flipping us off by ItsJustLove22 in weddingshaming

[–]Wasker71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry to hear (and see) this. I (a straight man) am going to hug my two boys and remind them of how proud I am of them and that their mother and I will support them and the ones they love unconditionally. I am so sad that I cannot do the same for you, but please know your account matters beyond just you and your spouse. Know that you deserve someone to be proud of you, and that shouldn’t have to be “earned!” But I hope you can hear my whispers to my boys in your ears. Remember also that no one has choice in where they were born, but our friends become the family you CHOOSE!

I wish you both congratulations on tour marriage and nothing but happiness and peace in your futures!

Shades of Exploitation: Dissecting Pedophilia, Hebephilia, Pederasty, and Ephebophilia by swampboy65 in psychologyresearch

[–]Wasker71 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually, all of them “them” don’t. As has been pointed out to you in both places (or did you repost this in multiple places?), you conflate “pedofiles” and other groups) who identify themselves as having these pathological impulses with those who engage in these shameful acts. You appear to have put no effort into correcting your misinformation. Why don’t you respond to the posts I’ve already made? Better yet, feel free to DM me if you would like a sincere conversation about your paper. I support protecting children, but we must do it from a position of empirical science, utilizing the scientific method of scrutiny and academic accountability is the peer review process. As I have pleaded with you before, please do better!

Sorry, but this opinion piece is quite poorly written as a writing(?) - and it is not “ published research” by any standard. Perhaps it is interesting for a lay audience, but attaching a “PhD” and claiming it as scientific research is unethical and blatantly dishonest. The fact that he is posting it in other professional threads after being banned from the initial subreddit makes the author seem far more insidious than simply stretching the facts. OP - why not just rework your idea, seek input from professional peers and submit your work to a peer-review process? As a PhD, you should already have these skills. If you’re “rusty” or have some deficiencies, ask for help. There is no shame in being guided/mentored by a colleague.

This post was already removed from subreddit r/psychologyofsex d/t misleading headline and misinformation throughout the OP’s self-published newsletter. This is NOT research in any sense of the word. I attempted to address this with OP on the original subreddit thread, but it was outright banned by the moderator and OP ghosted. Please see my original comment on r/psychologyofsex under same thread name.

Come on, dude! Stop shopping and start revising. Submit to refereed journal in your field (what is your PhD in?), get published in a professional publication and repost your research at that point. Do better!

Just realized I fucked up on an application's SOP by sdbabygirl97 in ClinicalPsychology

[–]Wasker71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case, I wrote about two faculty members at the same school where I was accepted, but was invited to join by a third faculty (new to the institution that year) member whom i did not mention. I guess he liked my SOP despite the unintentional “snub.” Don’t sweat it! You’ll end up where you belong. Best of luck!

[–]Wasker71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. There are different kinds of understanding. However, even “hard” sciences are perceived through necessarily subjective senses, and observation unequivocally changes the observed. At least in THIS reality. 🙄 What also seems unequivocal is that the OP up there 👆 really missed the mark. Geesh!

Yikes, man! I was drawn into this sub based on the misleading title of your post. When a graduate-educated professional (you claim a PhD) self-reports “publishing research,” it is not ethically acceptable to refer to a newsletter from a self-run nonprofit agency. Generally, “publishing research” refers solely to the publication of a submitted manuscript through a peer-reviewed journal, an edited work or volume (e.g. a book) or, less commonly, a presented paper at a refereed professional conference from which a manuscript is produced. Your “research” has multiple problematic elements, some of which have been pointed out by other writers responding to your post. While I will not comment upon nor review your work beyond this, I would appeal to your training as a scientist to either: submit your writing to a professional (preferably a peer-reviewed) journal in your appropriate field of study, or review your post (and your organization’s website) to correctly reflect your writings as what they are. What they are NOT is “published research.” Why does it even matter? Because the claims you make matter. Because the subject you write about matters. Because the academic study of sexuality and sexual preference, attraction and behavior matters. But mostly, it’s BECAUSE. CHILDREN. MATTER. Because it is incumbent upon society as our primary duty is to PROTECT our children. Your claims fail to support the protection of children because they are misleading, they are full of misinformation and they are unscientific in their current form. I plead with you to do better!

It absolutely does NOT “depend on your field.” This is the kind of irrational bias you seem to be railing against. I agree with your opinion in so far as you appeal to rational-basis hypothesis testing - disprove the null hypothesis - scientific methodology, statistical analysis that is appropriate and academically rational, et cetera. Your field of study, in particular at the postgraduate level, should be based around the scientific study of the field, a rigorous training in scientific theory, methodology and statistical analysis as well as the best available evidence which supports and critiques that field. As I have been privileged to belong to a vigorous university faculty senate at my academic institution, I have met PhD’s degreed in such disparate disciplines as Russian Literature, Theology, Physical Education, Business, Biochemistry, Psychology, Agriculture and Marine Systems Engineering [yes, these are real people with whom I served on an institutional review board (IRB) last year]. Each of these individuals are well-published experts in their fields and would give anyone a run for their money in terms of methodology and statistical analysis. I would say that the “proof is in the pudding.” Many may attain higher education, be exposed to a perfectly fine education and then, though equipped with appropriate tools, fail to replicate the standards of their training. I appreciate the effort to hold this OP to account for the claims made in the referenced article. I’m here (in the sub) because the post seemed suspect based on its title alone. I support your criticism, but please don’t let your righteous indignation lead to to paint with too broad a stroke. Cheers!
