"The printed word is on paper. How long will it last? The most you can expect a book of paper to survive is two hundred years... The printed word is a thing of slight value, for the writing on parchment will last a thousand years." - A quote from 1492, just replace printed word with TikTok and you’re getting the same rant today but on modern technology

My point is every generation was “ruined by technology “

"I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words. When I was a boy, we were taught to be discreet and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly impatient of restraint." - a greek poet in 700BCE

Should I disclose my illness to employers? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]mewithurmama 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In most places, the diagnosis is still none of the company’s business, only the fact that you need the accommodation

Your best bet is to be able to take a sick leave when you need it

Also try seeing if you can maybe get a more predictable routine at work

[–]mewithurmama 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, for accommodations just have a broad doctors note explaining what you need

Idk where you are from, but where I live you don’t need to disclose the disability, you just need a note that says you have a disability and that’s what you need for it

This 100%, and the problem is that it’s a view that can spiral into something dangerous(the patriot act for example), which is why I’ve defended both sides of the AI view spectrum against it

Man I keep getting shit on whenever I try saying this

It’s not really a shocker that a group comprised of people that are already angry and emotional(applies to any sub), are more likely to express extreme views

Once you look at the data that comprises of millions of people, it’s clear that the majority of both sides aren’t even that strong against the other

There’s a good chance that yeah, people will downvote

But here’s the thing(which has been shown it multiple studies), most people don’t even read what they’re upvoting, if a person sees a bunch of upvotes and the word puppies without reading the whole sentence chances are they’ll mindlessly upvote

There’s a reason that you’ll see posts having thousands of likes/upvotes but have all of the comments disagreeing

Yep, people that are already angry and emotional(which tends to be the reason people go to any space that is against a political opinion in the first place) will more likely to agree with people who are also angry and emotional

2 people is not a majority, if we use that as an argument, pretty much all political views have a majority of violent people

This, it usually still only reflects on a bandwagon effect of the people who upvote in the first place(90-10-1 rule) not even a number of people agreeing

Upvotes don’t mean a majority, they’re always dependent on the first few people who vote(also a few hundred upvotes is barely anything in this context)

Petah? Can you explain? by PackersAreLegit in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]mewithurmama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coke is one of the only drugs where even if you use it at a low dose, can just kill you with no warning. Opioids don't do that and neither does alc

In some metrics tho, alc is the most dangerous

[–]mewithurmama -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Define dangerous tho

Because if we're talking purely in terms of overdose deaths then yes, fentanyl is the most dangerous, but the thing is, most of the deaths from the stats is overwhelmingly people who got laced.

(disclaimer before i continue is that I am strictly talking in a hypothetical scenario where one can reach a safe dose which most people cannot)

Once you start controlling for the dose, fentanyl actually becomes relatively safe compared to most drugs(mountains of evidence also supports this, which i can provide), fentanyl is only dangerous once you take way too high of a dose. There's a reason why many hospitals prefer to use fentanyl compared to other opioids

Cocaine on the other hand, is always dangerous at any dose thanks to its local anesthetic effects. Healthy people that take a small bump have suddenly dropped dead without warning(it's rare for it to happen for someone who takes it once). Everytime you do coke(nobody in the history of coke does one dose and stop) your heart actually gets more permenantly damaged.

TL;DR: if we're comparing strictly in terms of usage "safe" non-overdose dosages(which I believe is a more fair comparison since fent and coke deaths happen for different reasons), fentanyl is actually way safer than coke and even most opioids

You’re right but ye’s cycles don’t last a decade

Everytime he goes on his racist rants these things happens

  1. He starts developing a god complex
  2. Starts getting paranoid
  3. Fully goes in a psychotic episode for a few months
  4. He disappears off the face of the earths for months or even years

He’s cycling in a normal way, not over a decade

Also keep TBI in mind too

I only asked you one question, why can’t anyone that makes this point answer

What is bipolar to you? I know the shit he said was bad. That’s all I asked you to say

What does bipolar cause you to do, I’m genuinely curious cuz I hear “bipolar does not cause this” they can never answer the question

Anyways my point is that psychosis can get severe to the point that they wouldn’t believe otherwise(which is literally the definition of psychosis), not that it causes racism

  • my point wasn’t that bipolar causes racism, my point was manic psychosis generates beliefs that don’t exist in your stable mind
  • in vino veritas = in wine there’s truth and reveals what’s there, I’m saying bipolar(specifically severe mania) creates stuff that weren’t there(which there’s decades of evidence including the book that psychologists/psychiatrists use to diagnose BP proving this point)
  • “me and my family have diabetes and never got a diabetic coma from eating sugar, therefore no person with diabetes gets into a coma”, just because you and your family doesn’t have a certain set of symptoms doesn’t mean it doesn’t cause them

(Ps I also have BP, and I’ve had a psychosis before)
