You don’t have to read it… do you think the news reporting on it is bullshit? I just want to know, are you saying the entirety of UN is lying to besmirch Israel?

He is like a wanna-be Trump with his Trump steaks and Trump vodka.

Do you think this United Nations report is bullshit? Do you think they are conspiring against the fair nation of Israel? 😭

And…. Silence from the Zionist. The most beautiful music in the world.

A motherfucking CAB. And you know there won’t be any kind of justice in that shitty state.

This killed me:

Try going through menopause with ADHD. It’s been brutal, my brain went offline before I got HRT.

Yeah, it wasn’t fun, even though I was able to get “the good stuff” cause my dad started working for the government in an important position. The good stuff was… marginal.

I grew up in Moscow in the 80s, I think they tried fluoride in the water, but it wasn’t nearly enough to make a difference.

As a child, my teeth were atrocious. Constant cavities despite brushing and not eating a ton of sweets and never even trying soda.

After I moved here at 18, my teeth got significantly better. I’m glad there is fluoride in the water!

She recorded an interview with El Pais that is supposed to be released any minute now.

If it’s a crime of passion, why did he bring a syringe on a hike?

My husband and his brother were about 20 mins apart because it was a complicated breech birth. It was still on the same day, but it could have been what you are describing.

I don’t think making people get PhDs in order to be a therapist is a solution here.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a therapist. I already had to go through 2 years of grad school plus a little over 3,000 hours of supervised work before receiving my license (I also did an additional 2-year post-grad program in marriage and family therapy).

Acting like that doesn’t make me qualified to provide therapy is frankly bullshit and elitist.

LCSWs are the largest group providing behavioral health services in the Unted States, at 60% (Page 7 - https://socialwork.utexas.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/TX-SW-Workforce-Report24.pdf). Suggesting that every single therapist should be a PhD would result in a very swift and decisive mental health crisis in the country because not everyone can afford to take years off making income to get another degree.

Wouldn’t it be nice if every doctor did a psychiatry residency and a cardiology residency and a surgical residency… you know, so that they can be the best doctor and provide the best services? And don’t get me started on PAs!

Shouldn’t all nurses be RNAs then? Why have CNAs and such?

I am sure you see my point.

It is absolutely true that there are bad master’s-level clinicians out there (case in point, see the therapist who brought this suit). There are also bad PhDs out there. Your degree does not determine how good of a therapist you are.

The solution is to do a much better job with state regulations and laws, which will only take you so far… once again, case in point. Colorado tried to do the right thing only to have the Supreme Court shut them down.

Your entire argument is summed up and rebutted here, if you care to read: https://www.psichi.org/page/042EyeWin00bActkinso

Not really. It’s pretty easy to separate kink shaming from hypocrisy shaming. No one’s doing the former, but we are doing a lot of the latter.

This lawsuit was brought by a licensed psychotherapist who also happens to be a Christian. There are already restrictions on who can practice psychotherapy. These aren’t some unlicensed people. These are the people you are talking about, with a graduate school education and a licensing process and everything.

They never said it was difficult. Just stating the fact that eating salad with chopsticks is only easier if you already know how to use them.

I totally agree with you that it’s easy, but many people still don’t know how.
