  • Are you fucking kidding me? Yeji had style, it's nothing about random tech. Get the fuck out of here and leave our girl alone

  • I still don't get it. aren't pyramid and ponzi schemes more or less the same thing? how is the original subject either of them?

  • sounds useful! hope we fill that niche

  • oh man his holo-addiction is out of control!

  • ... in what way? primarily selling products to employees?

  • never heard of lemmy one

  • cool I guess you're both right

  • imagine serving this up to pop pop and getting that thousand yard stare. poor guy

  • yeah the whole "it's my nature" thing always weired me out. like yall realize that human nature is still being determined right?? what we are, we have a say in. we aren't scorpions, we're creatures that depend on each other so much that we experience emotional pain when isolated, and make sounds to share concepts that we then turn and think using those sounds created in the heads of others. we're literally closer to ants in nature than scorpions

  • I'm sorry, hold up, what do you think I'm doing here? When someone comes to me for a drug and alcohol eval, I dont tell them what to do. I ask what they want, if they think their use is a problem, if they want treatment, etc. All I do is provide options. That's what individualized person-centered care is.

    What makes you think i do anything different?

    I can provide you resources on substance use disorders if you really want but I do this for a living so I'm not eager to. I would say look into ASAM. Addiction Medicine is a developing field but we're finding more empowering ways to help people through validation and support.

    the problem in the language here is really what does mental disorder really mean? it isn't about genetics. a disorder just means life is out of order. etiology is irrelevant. is the framing of it as a mental disorder somehow uncomfortable to you? it might seem critical if you still think of MH issues as "mental illnesses", but that's not what's going on. identifying problematic behavioral patterns as a psychological problem enables us to treat it appropriately instead of with stigma.

    and to be clear, no one is expected to do what they don't want to do.

  • substance use disorders are absolutely a mental disorder and it's damaging to treat them as anything else. too long they've been considered moral failings and people are fucking dying because of it. when a substance gets in the way of life, that's a disorder.

    as for doing what you want... im not arguing for sobriety or abstinence, that's another approach to addiction that KILLS PEOPLE. you can still do what you want.

  • Heya, I'd love to follow up with you on some of this stuff. This actually isn't accurate for the current understanding of addiction. Substance use disorders are more than just dependence, tolerance, and withdrawal. There are a number of other factors that constitute "addiction" (aka, SUDs). Check out the DSM criteria for cannabis use disorder for starters.

    It turns out that, while not medical emergency level akin to ethanol or benzo w/d, cannabis does have some seriously addictive properties.

    Really the trouble is that we misunderstand addiction itself. It's not about chemicals. It's about context, and overall life functioning.

  • Legalize all drugs. Addiction is a severe mental health disorder, not a crime. Literally end of discussion.

  • They're fucking terrible. Money grubbing pig of a studio releases broken games for the users to fix for free, and they gobble it up because omg open world! With bland, generic combat, mundane repeatable quests, and the illusion of choice and creativity.

    Honestly the Elder Scrolls world really just deserved better. Better teams, better design, better releases, a world actually fleshed out. But instead we get this garbage.

  • I'm sorry, michmichs? you don't really say that, do you? it's not like the word comes from "me", its just a play on "genes".

    you guys just say "memes" right?

    ... right?
