Both sides are allowed to suck, here. I get what you’re saying- everyone seems to have made decisions without allowing the child, who would be incapable of making such life altering decisions, to have any kind of agency. Being concerned for his welfare is empathetic.
The other posters are concerned that the CCP has a terrible human rights record, and are notorious for being untruthful. Out of the frying pan, into the fire.
I mean, did you source your parents? I expect in-text citations and inclusion of your birth certificate within the bibliography.
I appreciate the thoughtful context. Having experienced things that were later reported on in the news, though, sometimes it feels like the writers just latch on to odd details or have a word count to hit.
What do you believe the root cause of depression in men to be?
I know people are doubting this happened but I’m pretty sure it’s a symptom of paranoid schizophrenia to think that one’s electronics are trying to speak to you.
I think this is also a reflection on self awareness.
Fair enough. I’m sorry those weren’t helpful for you, I also found CBT to be less helpful than DBT and family model therapy.
I know a lot of trauma-exposed professionals that EMDR has been life-changing for, so I was really curious where that opinion came from. I think it has a lot of merit- like that one study that demonstrated the Tetris effect is helpful for reducing PTSD after a critical incident. A good professional won’t move to EMDR until the client is ready to tackle the memories, I know for some it’s been 6 months before talking about the original issue that caused them to seek out therapy. Every time you recount the traumatizing event it can retraumatize, so tackling it too soon (or needing to go through it over and over so workers comp can pay for the therapy you need after getting traumatized at work) is dangerous.
I fully understand the boundaries and limitations side. There are a lot of people who label themselves “not a cat person” or “not a pet person” and don’t interact with animals, based on this preconceived notion, and then are surprised when they enjoy it.
Not being able to take responsibility for another soul is reasonable.
I’m very curious, what makes you call CBT and EMDR trash?
Is he trying to claim he’s Alethi?
The court documents with extracted text are linked in this thread. It talked him out of seeking help and encouraged him not to leave signs of his suicidality out for his family to see when he said he hoped they would stop him.
Up there with Genghis Khan’s on the Mount Rushmore of world altering penises.
Although, I don’t really see what’s impeachable about this, but I also know that the right doesn’t seem happy and the rules don’t matter anyway so hey.
What did the puppy do to deserve that?
I’m not sure if you mean psychopaths or sycophants but I’m into this lady mondegreen of yours.
Good for them, big mood.
I would much prefer my tax dollars be spent on TAKING DOWN ALREADY CONSTRUCTED BIKE LANES

If it wasn’t so dystopian, I’d be for it. Self driving cars that you can book as needed would require less space be devoted to parking and one vehicle could serve as transportation for more people. Combined with easy and accessible public transit and thoughtful pedestrian and cyclist-friendly city design, being less reliant on vehicles sounds like a dream. If you could book the equivalent of an Uber and have it be available within 5 minutes for a reasonable price, why wouldn’t you? In such a scenario, cars would only be for hobbyists. Those who aren’t able to drive (elderly, people with disabilities) would have more equitable access to, well, anything that requires you to physically be somewhere.
Truthfully though, I don’t see a place where capatilism would allow this to happen. Selling everyone their own vehicle, with their own maintenance fees (and now subscription fees), accessories, fuel, etc… is way too lucrative.
Look at the size of her face overall on the left, and the size on the right. Now look at where her eyebrows are on the left and where they are on the right. The camera on the left is slightly closer, her makeup is different, and her eyes are open wider. I don’t think it’s a filter.
