I went through CBT for depression. I found it useless. As I understand it, it seeks to change ways of thinking, or 'schemata'. It seems to assume that the patient's first priority is to be cured, or at least that they have no higher priorities that are in conflict with that goal - in my case, I...
Daily Mail system:
Have any unsubstantiated rumours about celebrities been phoned in?
Yes → Front page
No → Is there anything that can be biliously misrepresented to piss people off into buying bad journalism?
Yes → Front page
No → Is there anything weird in another paper that we can steal and...
I want Adderall but my psychiatrist gave me Concerta XL. Extended release Ritalin, essentially. That said, the Concerta seems to work pretty well, anyway.
Stimulants have a funny effect on people with ADHD, given that methylphenidate (Ritalin/Concerta) is a stimulant chemically similar to...
I would have called Veidt an INFP. Extremely idealistic... maybe moreso in the film than in the graphic novel, but certainly in the graphic novel, too. He's an INFP gone... morally ambiguous. I was going to say "bad".
Rorschach is insane. Types are for sane people. I'm not sure if Doctor...
I reject the idea of state and nation, so it would be rather hypocritical for me to be a nationalist. I mean, I'd wear a kilt before a tuxedo, but that's because I grew up going to weddings where all the men looked dashing in their kilts. Not one of those wretched modern, clan-less tartans...
I don't know. My whole life, people I know have equated my name with 'really clever', till I went to Cambridge at least, to the point that people who don't know me very well assume that's all there is to me: I'm just a clever person and nothing else. I don't like that. I'd rather people thought...
You do know that those plants aren't actually trying to help us, right? It's not like they meet up to discuss how best to be medicinally useful to humans. You know who does meet up to discuss how best to make plants medicinally useful to humans? Doctors.
When I get overtired and I'm alone I start... doing characters. Aloud. I'm pretty sure I'm not bad at it, either. I think I could be a voice actor, because that's just you and a microphone (and when I'm playing games I often think, "Holy shit, have these people never heard actual humans having...
Hey, that was an imposition by English romantic intellectuals that we embraced! And besides, it's... nice.
Not that I love my country for any special reason. I mean, it's home, so I'm pretty fond of it, but that's about all.
A certain brand of cola-flavoured soft drink. Or maybe tea, with milk and two sugars. As I was introduced to both when I was very young and drank little else before I started drinking alcohol, I can barely force down water. As for alcoholic beverages, vodka and cranberry juice, which is my...
Forum avatar or profile picture? The avatar is cropped from Streetlight Manifesto band merchandise (I've got three of those stickers), the profile picture is me wearing a gold mask I bought in Amsterdam while I was high and walked around the red light district wearing.
