The thing that seems really counterproductive about CBT is that it's like it tries to shame you out of having negative feelings at all times but suppressing your feelings is bad. They can do a bunch of mental gymnastics but it pretty much boiled down to "everything you feel is wrong so just ignore it". It never felt like it was about my well being, it was about making myself smaller and more palatable. And, it never considers that sometimes objectively hard things are happening in your life that impact how you feel. Like if I told my therapist that someone was being a dick to me the response was either to have me gaslight myself as if I was just paranoid or victim blame me for having an emotional response to shitty behaviour. Are we supposed to not have feelings because that's what it feels like the goal is.

There sure is something to be said about the discrepancy between how rarely simply dismissing yourself as irrational actually resolves serious mental distress and CBT being the most widespread therapy approach...

#i think cbt can work if what your telling yourself is actually true

Hot take: we need to stop demonising individuals for using AI. I have mentally ill friends who used Chat GPT to figure out the labyrinth that is applying for disability benefits. I have ADHD and Chat has been a monumental tool in my studies because I get to ask very specific questions and get responses until I finally understand the topic. (It’s also so nice to have all the information in one place instead of having to lose my mind in a myriad of opened tabs.)

I also haven’t gotten around to doing research, but I genuinely believe this is the same method of blame shifting that happened when we started measuring our individual environmental footprint instead of focusing on the big picture (aka the industries who are actually harming the planet). I think individuals using AI here and there is not the hill to die on, it’s the big tech companies implementing it into everything that’s actually eating up our resources.

Okay so the main problem with generative AI isn't that it's morally wrong to use it or whatever (I do not care for moralistic arguments against AI use at all) but that the information it shares isn't necessarily as correct as it sounds. Especially if you don't know how to fact check the information it's giving you, I would be very careful trusting it with important tasks. Not because you are inherently tainted as a person for having used it - I really don't care for the moral crusade - but because it sounds far more confident than it has the ability to factually be.

#yeah i just couldn’t trust it to be correct

One of the core things capitalism is interested in is making any labor performed invisible.

Capitalism does not want you to think about the people who designed your furniture. It does not want you to think about the people who sewed your clothes. It does not want you to think about the people who plant and harvest the food you are eating, or the people who work to keep your infrastructure running. Capitalism has a vested interest in you never thinking about the people taking away your trash, or the people who work in the warehouses from where you order. It has a vested interest even in you ignoring the work of the many invisible hands who might work on your entertainment - the caterers, set builders, gaffers, and so on.

Because as long as you are ignorant of the labor put into the things you consume, you will be fine with those laborers being treated like shit.

That is why you need to keep thinking of that labor. Look at the things in your room and keep the people who worked for it in mind. Look at your clothes, your furniture, your gadgets. Think of the sewers, the warehouse workers, the miners, the technicians. Think of the people capitalism wants you to forget.

sci fi is all about getting so scared and ripping tubes out of yourself. people miss this

grocki

sci fi is all about desperately trying to reclaim your violated bodily autonomy. it’s all about asserting that you are a being with agency, and you can choose what happens to your own person, even if that’s ripping tubes out of yourself. and also sometimes an alien is there

calling ppl "larpers" to insinuate theyre fake fans of smth/poorly pretending to be smth is so fucking stupid cuz. tell me u have never met a real LARPer without saying u have never met a real LARPer. those guys care. they are fucking locked in dude. like LARP is a lifestyle its a commitment they care so much. they're not fake nerds either like fake nerds just repost LOTR gifsets and talk about how nerdy they are for being into like, fucking batman and stuff. LARPers know their shit. they read the whole Silmarillion. they know who Ambush Bug is. like get LARP's name out of your fucking mouth
