Of course psychosis has a trigger, this just happened to be it. That’s like psychology 101.

People prone to psychosis are rational, balanced people, sometimes for their entire lives, or until something triggers a psychotic break. You really ought to look up psychosis and schizophrenia, it’s a lot more nuanced than elementary. We have research on those things so you don’t have to try to reason it out.

It helps to read the article.

In one of the cases mentioned, the user had no previous indication of a mental health disorder.

That’s not how disengage works. It’s not a magic “last word” button.

This is a discussion worth our time because the fediverse is built on communication. Without it, there is no platform.

It is noticed and appreciated.

It’s my goal to put out more good than bad, even if I am a little shit sometimes.

I don’t know any of these people personally, but I remember the names I encounter here pretty well.

I try to judge each comment on it’s own merit, but there are users I consider more trustworthy than others, and I know I align with the opinions and politics of a lot of users on this ban list.

So yes, users like say, Diva or Db0, have a bit more credibility in my eyes. Could just be that a lot of people agree with them.

Distancing oneself looks a lot different from launching instance bans and handing other admins a slice of their personal beef.

This confirms everything I said about piefed months ago. I even made a piefed account and brought up concerns, only to be told the “anti-tankie” controls were for everyone’s own good.

Sucks to suck.

I was responding, primarily, to this:

The system doesn’t care if you have a penis or not. Some participants in it certainly do but the system itself is equally shitty to anyone not born with shit loads of money.

I’m saying there are systemic biases.

Multiple evidence based studies show that gender and race affect success in life. Just because everyone is having a shit time doesn’t mean some demographics don’t have it worse. We’re a long way off from equality, and even further away from true equity.

I see you’re familiar with my technique.

I wouldn’t wish that on my medium enemies. There’s pokemon porn. There’s ninja turtle porn. There’s freaking 3D rendered legend of zelda forced feminiz… I need to go to pornhub

Bit of a tangent and a big YES I am a giant fucking nerd - but I do text based roleplaying. People online don’t know my actual gender (chick) since I’ll play anything. One huge thing I noticed when playing a dude is a lot of the women would just kinda be there and try to be sexy hoping I would do something.

They didn’t all write like that, and I still had a few guys to starfished, so to speak, but goddamn YOU NEED TO ENGAGE ME. If I wanted something pretty, I would look at a painting. I need an activity.

That’s fair. I was wondering because I have fine hair that gets greasy fast, but for some reason using a silk pillow case and washing it every few days (both my hair and the pillow case) has helped immensely.

You might need to wash your pillow.

They forgot the OG Hitchhikers guide reference where the runaway economic collapse of the shoe industry resulted in people evolving wings.

That sounds whimsical.

It can finally be world tuna day every day

Oh boy it’s time to share the Millipede Song.

Otherwise known as a joke.

A joke about how the whole “If you’re not with me, you’re against me” logic is terrible.

And I can’t believe you didn’t get my joke.
