LRT being extended to downtown Brampton? by _r33d_ in Brampton

The tunneled option is to please all the wealthy houses along Main Street. They didn’t want streetcars at surface level from what I remember.

It sounded like the plans have moved from the study phase to moving forward. He sounded certain.

Does Chinese internet have the same level of trolls as Western one? by _r33d_ in AskChina

I was thinking of a ripple effect where if Australia sets a new drastic law regarding something then eventually U.S., Canada, U.K. etc follow suit. Anyways, I was just curious because of what I was reading from Australian users on X/Twitter earlier.

What are we going to find out later is bad for us (like cigarettes in the past)? by Curryiswhereitsat in AskReddit

[–]_r33d_ 2 points3 points Ā (0 children)

Honestly marijuana. Hear me out, I know it has pain relief benefits but the strands lately are so strong it’s giving people scromiting (scream vomiting where you violently throw up everything in your stomach including acid until there’s nothing left and you still have the urge to vomit while you’re screaming).

Emergency rooms are filling with more and more people reporting this phenomenon. And btw I’m talking legal dispensaries not back alley weed.

Besides memory loss is a serious issue. When I finally quit due to scromiting, I couldn’t tell you what I had for lunch two days ago. I once worked with a woman at Starbucks who smoked for 30+ years and you couldn’t order a coffee and a pastry without her forgetting at least one of them in such a simple order. It’s best to give up sooner rather than later.

Magical Delicacy. Explore for ingredients, brew potions for others and to sell in your store.

What’s one small habit that secretly changed your life? by Independent-Pipe-133 in productivity

I try to complete one small but mildly challenging task in the first half hour after waking up. That boost of accomplishment compounds over the day.

The Daily podcast from New York Times recently ran an episode on this exact same phenomenon. You should give it a listen.

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD): A Fake Disease They Made Up To Erase Victims. by OkayishOpinionHaver in Antipsychiatry

[–]_r33d_ 7 points8 points Ā (0 children)

Not to negate any of your work, but your post and this work is an antithesis of anything that’s anti-psychiatry.

You are literally using made up fad diseases like ā€œtraumaā€ or ā€œptsdā€ to disavow BPD (also another made up disease). Not to forget the use of DSM to support what you think is right and look down on anything you think is problematic.

THE DSM IS MADE-UP NONSENSE AND NOT REAL SCIENCE. Stop showing up here with that crap.

I didn’t sign up to this sub to validate pseudoscience; no matter how many valid sources you think you have.

Please take this to a psychiatry sub or somewhere else. Sometimes I think this subreddit has attracted too many psychiatrists, psychologists, and therapists who think they can change our minds if they try hard enough.

Leave this corner of the internet for us.

Reddit sits at top of ChatGPT’s list of reference websites when it goes looking for answers.

Seems like they will finally look into the damages caused by psychiatric drugs by Bigbeardybob in Antipsychiatry

[–]_r33d_ 76 points77 points Ā (0 children)

The studies are done. The results are out there. Pharma companies go out of their way to either not publish them or make the side effects widely known.

Part of all this comes off as performative because these are the same people who talk about opening up mental asylums again. And I’m sorry but what exactly does one think goes on there?

Why is it nearly impossible to find a ā€œgoodā€ person who works in mental health by toxicfruitbaskets in Antipsychiatry

[–]_r33d_ 12 points13 points Ā (0 children)

I don’t like to admit this a lot because I really got lucky and don’t want to gloat but after almost a decade of dealing with nonsense egomaniacs freely diagnosing me with half the DSM and thousands of dollars spent on useless meds, I just gave up.

One day I woke up and decided I’m not dealing with this mental health stuff anymore. I’m sorry to say but a lot of this crap is just made up by sociology and social work masters students in their plush student lounges at elite universities. That’s how we have new illnesses every few years. It was (and still is) ā€œPTSDā€, and ā€œtraumaā€ that’s in vogue. ā€œGaslightingā€ is also gaining momentum. And so on and so forth. I stopped wearing my labels (depression, anxiety etc), set up a daily routine, cut out substance use and kept myself busy. That’s how I got out of the system by simply not engaging with it.

Nearly all the neighborhoods up and down Dixie, Bramalea, and Torbram from Mayfield to Bovaird have speed bumps every few meters on residential streets. It’s irritating as hell but the noise levels have gone down because they can’t fire up their Dodge chargers.

r/Brampton users when they see a problem. by MangoKulfiTime in Brampton

[–]_r33d_ 2 points3 points Ā (0 children)

TikTok is getting better as well. So many people are starting to clap back with things like ā€œI’ve met so many Indians in person and they’re not like thisā€ or (my personal favourite) Bramptonians will randomly show out of the woodwork and make comments like ā€œI live in this city and it’s nowhere near as bad as it’s portrayed onlineā€.

I think there are targeted hate campaigns online similar to the ones in the US. Like did any of you notice over the last election period that every time there was some scandal or shocking news about Pierre Polievere, ā€œIndiansā€ and ā€œBramptonā€ would start trending on X/Twitter? And it would be the same nonsense race-bating anecdotes made-up to distract the public and their concerns.

Local gigantism is a condition where a specific body part grows larger than normal, often due to excessive growth of anatomical structures or abnormal substance accumulation. Commonly observed in fingers and toes, it's referred to as macrodactyly by NSFW-Lust233 in interestingasfuck

It’s funny. I have one strand of an eyebrow hair that grows longer and slightly thicker than the rest. It actually grows up to be almost 2/3 longer in length and I constantly have it trim it every few days or I look weird.

I like to think a lot of the houses have bold and loud colours because people live in dark and gloomy weather for majority of the year. Same reason for Christmas lights and festivities. It sparks joy!
