I used to be a gaffer on movie sets in the early nineties and me and my boss would suck each other off after almost every gig. He was so hot but I haven’t felt any attraction to another man since then
Lot of parts around this neighborhood look like parts of my hometown, and I’d gotten used to that, but the other day found a part that looked like I remembered from my time in LA, and that threw me.
(It had been built around the same time, and the house architecture, cinderblock store architecture, early mass-automotive collector streets and the earthmoving capacities for what steepness of slope you could go straight up were all the same)
isn’t it insane though how schizophrenic people are viewed as violent and dangerous by the majority of society when in reality schizophrenic people are nearly 14 times more likely to be on the receiving end of violence than to be the perpetrators…
schizophrenic person: makes a post trying to raise awareness about the disproportionate abuse and harmful stereotypes schizophrenic people face
yall: “yeah im not gonna reblog this they used the word ins*ne which is so problematic ://”
What the fuck happens that changes these stats to such a massive degree?
1) schizophrenia hardly ever causes people to be violent so schizophrenic people aren’t more likely to be violent than anyone else
2) schizophrenic people’s autonomy is often taken away from them because of their schizophrenia. because the authorities and mental healthcare providers often automatically assume schizophrenic people to be violent, they’re more likely to immediately react to schizophrenic people’s symptoms with violence, without even knowing for sure said schizophrenic person was going to be violent. all of this causes schizophrenic people to be more likely of being victims of violence and abuse. schizophrenic people also have a harder time getting out of abusive households because of the risk of their autonomy being taken away. if a schizophrenic person’s relative or partner is abusive, often the schizophrenic person has no way out of the situation, both because our disconnect from reality can result in us being easier to manipulate, and because the system is built in a way that it takes away our autonomy because of our condition.
also schizophrenic people and psychotic people in general, please do a lot of research before picking a provider for your own sake, and if they try to treat your psychosis in a way that you think is harmful then don’t hesitate to switch providers. your safety and wellbeing should be a priority over everything else.
can y'all please reblog this version instead
Also to the extent a guy being schizophrenic is seriously gonna cause a problem for me it’s probably because I encountered him in the kind of place where homeless people live and he’s gonna make a big nonsensical scene, and honestly I imagine the kind of people who make big nonsensical scenes in the kind of places where homeless people live probably get beat up pretty often.
Not a lawyer, but iirc the American interpretation of the Anglo-Saxon legal tradition, a contract is created by ~two elements: a "meeting of the minds" (i.e., mutual understanding about the terms of an agreement) and an "exchange of valuable consideration" (i.e., an agreement is only a contract if it involves swapping things of value). Some quick googling suggests that the stuff I've bundled under "meeting" might be disaggregated but w/e. Paper doesn't matter! Signatures don't count!
right, if paper and signatures were vital to the magic ritual then we wouldn’t be able to use apps for stuff
This is why bullshit unilateral “we agree to do this” contracts and deals will formally be in exchange for $1, to make them legally valid and binding. Scots law, at least, recognizes binding unilateral “promises” without this requirement, I was looking forward to seeing that come up somehow if Scotland became independent.
i bought a fancy ultra light sleeping bag and guys. guys. it is the Most Texture imaginable. it shouldn’t exist. it’s beyond science. i put my hands on it and i start looking for descartes’ demon.
now im not saying that you should go and spend 500 on a thing you won’t use just to touch it. but you should go by your local REI whenever you’re feeling stressed for a little cloud touching time.
Yeah no this is something I appreciated with the silk sheets, going “ohmygod, textiles” feels very primally human in a rewarding way
My last mania was early February, and I’m on a 6 month cycle so next should be around August, so I think what I’m feeling rn is my mood’s bottomed out and it’s heading back up.
Looking at my CBD+CBN gummies for sleep, and like, old stoner hippies may have been tedious but weed really has replaced less effective pharmaceutical medications with more side effects
I can never take Americans who fetshize yoga and ashrams and Ayurveda and Hindu spiritualism shit in general seriously because if you Google basically any prominent yogi in India you will almost always find them saying some absolutely absurd/fucked up shit. There’s another yogi in India who opem discusses exterminating Muslims. Like I can’t square this reality with the “peace and love” image that Americans (honestly non-American white westerners are even worse I think, like europeans/israelis/aussies) have of India and yoga and Hinduism in their head. Like talk about rose colored glasses lmao
Having India on the internet has been fascinating for getting to see (often) English-speaking cultures that have just not internalized “modern” norms against cheerfully celebrating like, rape, or exterminatory social cleansing.
what a strange strange thing to say.
Like, you could grant arguendo all the feminist stuff about America having a “rape culture” – the pre-Take Back The Night frat party and ‘80s teen house party scenes really were “become debilitated on alcohol and experience sexual contact pre-marked as valid before any issue of consent” as a young adult norm.
I don’t have a sense of how much it manifests in real life – respected elders’ sexual abuse of the young is often covered up! – but Japanese pop culture often has some sympathetic idealization of the dirty old man.
The UK had Benny Hill!
But still, since the late nineties, if I ever see someone on the Internet just reminiscing about stranger or acquaintance rape in a casual tone, like as if they were talking about this one time they played a pickup game of basketball and it wasn’t even like Their One Basketball Story, it is always, always, without exception, some Indian guy talking about village girls or aunties or tight choots or something.
