So go out and vode, eh

Sounds like harlan ellison’s “i have no mouth and i must scream” but in a lame chud way

I use it for myself all the time. Its the best medication free approach ive tried persoanally

Even worse, it seems clear to me that news outlets squash stories of self immolation. They did the same with the ‘activist’ who did it on earth day a few years ago, and it wouldn’t surprise me to find out that major media outlets have had the same mandate to hide these stories since vietnamese monks were doing it to protest the vietnam war.

Youre what’s for sale. When they log your biometric data, like images of your face, voice, or fingerprints, then sell that to a 3rd party, it’s literally the things that make you an individual that are up for sale. Neat huh

I find this take problematic. Therapy suffers from capitalism obviously, but that doesn’t mean it’s completely useless or just a tool to subjectivate you. I think what youre saying is true, but incomplete. Therapy absolutely helps me be a better communicator and organizer, and always supported my activism. Granted i was lucky to find a good one. I’ve learned mental/emotional tools now that help me more than i can say.

I resent this aspect of capitalism as deeply as anyone. My fear about your take is it could dissuade people from getting help who really need some in the meantime, even with things as they are. It’s a bit too doomer for my taste, maybe.

Also, DBT is literally dialectics. That’s like…our whole thing. As a modality it even de-emphasizes the expert/patient relationship. I see it as a potential line of flight out of commodity therapy, personally.

Unfortunately no, animal agriculture (& really therefore all agriculture, since most food grown on earth currently goes to feeding livestock) actually is the main culprit for greenhouse gas emissions. The oil & transport cartels are the reason theres too many cars, and the parking lots heat up entire cities by 20+ degrees. It’s a big part of it. Planes, and water shipping have impacts too. But yea, in a literal way agriculture is indeed the main driver of climate change.

I have a random fun fact about beelzebub…

There’s some dispute, but Baal zebub seems to have been a derogatory term used by ancient israelites against the philistine deity, Ba’al (lord), calling him baal zebub, or the lord of flies.

Occult circles have demonized the figure over time, but yea. Ancient racists who thought of the philistines as pests, and blatantly insulted their religion by renaming their lord to ‘lord of the flies’.

I’ve been saying all marketing is just black magick. Manipulation, lying, hypnosis, etc. Makes sense to me, anyway.
