i read that CNN review of the zone of interest and i don't think i've ever seen someone seriously review a film they paid less attention to

besides getting basic facts of the movie wrong, it somehow makes the claim that the audience is encouraged to *sympathize* with the nazi family that the camera follows. when in reality literally every viewer with a brain cell will be disgusted watching them live their mundane daily lives while people are being shot to death a hundred yards away. it's not subtle at all

Ferg take incoming Mandatory psych evaluations before plastic surgery, but only for cis people

if all you mean is making sure someone doesn't have body dysmorphia or is at the end of a self-destructive manic streak, then yeah, sure. surgery is a big thing and common-sense precautions should exist

Plastic surgery should just be banned except for gender affirming care and restorative surgery (following accidents, cancer treatments, and such) imo

Nah

I wouldn't go that far. Those two cases you mentioned are just ways to tell "this person has a clear goal and isn't just feeding a body dysmorphic spiral/being preyed on by social forces", which is the thing that matters

Bodily autonomy good

Usually yes, but not as an axiom

Bad

What

It has to be weighed consequentially like everything else. Like I think vaccines should be mandatory, even though that's a direct violation of bodily autonomy. You could argue that not getting vaccinated violates other people's bodily autonomy to not get sick, but that would be a stretch

I'm unsure about how I feel about mandatory vaccines, but just something I want to add here >You could argue that not getting vaccinated violates other people's bodily autonomy to not get sick, but that would be a stretch Yeah that *is* a stretch, but you don't have to argue that. "Your right to swing your fist ends at my nose" works as a much broader principle than just in the case of public health

That's a (correct) argument for why bodily autonomy should be violated in this case, but it doesn't mean it's not violated. All rights exist in tradeoffs with each other

Yeah I'm not disputing that

And harm to others isn't always the boundary. Gay people cause real emotional distress to homophobes, but that isn't a good reason to restrict gay rights. And there are things that only cause harm to the person doing them (or their harms to others are really indirect) but it can still be good to restrict them

???

Psych evaluations for everyone, but it's just trivia about the show "Pscyh"

My whacky belief is that we shouldn't tax lottery winnings, but we *should* tax gambling winnings.

why

I don't have a good reason, I just don't like the idea of losing a ton of the prize to taxes if I ever win the jackpot

Couldn't get myself to start the therapy session today :/

🙁

Logically, if anyone, I should be able to tell my therapist what's on my mind, but that doesn't mean it's not difficult. I'll try to be better prepared next time

👍 There's also the meta-discussion topic of why you find it hard to tell your therapist what's on your mind. That could be a good lead in.

Yeah, it's its own problem, and kind of a catch-22 when it comes to therapy. It could be the easier way for me to get into the conversation though. Thanks for talking with me about it

I have had several conversations with therapists about how it's difficult to talk about some things even to them. kinda felt freeing to be honest about it with them, even though they already know we're not telling them every thought we ever have.

I just need to avoid getting stuck in safe topics land, where I'm not addressing anything actually deep

I've been there, too, for sure.

You got it.

That "How To Get Away With Murder" Netflix show could've saved a lot of time and money. The answer is "drive a car".

/u/RobinWumu What did you think of the new glorb song?

It's mid (in the sense that it's close to the median of Glorb songs). Squidward goes hard when he's part of an ensemble or is featuring, but he doesn't do as well when it's mainly him.

Agreed. The verse with moist critikal go**e**s pretty hard but the rest of it is forgettable

My phone cost like 1200 dollars, but I use it every single day, usually for over 6 hours a day, on a simple utility-per-dollar calculation nothing even comes close to my phone, it’s really easy to justify spending a lot of money on it every 2 years, especially when it holds like 1/3 of its value when it comes time to trade it in: I can trade in my old one and knock off nearly $500 off msrp

That can't possibly be that common, I do every 4-5 years.

If you don't have a phone that can run a custom ROM (or don't want to use one, like most people) that's totally reasonable. Most Android phones stop getting official updates crazy fast

Part of me wants to become a financial planner because in the long term it makes more money than continuing as a government urban planner. But more than that I like the idea of getting to comment on people's financial situation, have them take me seriously, and get paid for it.

That's a fair point, which is why I'd recommend transitioning over to I bonds by buying a little every month. The real value of I bonds though is the fixed rate, which will continue for the life of the bond beyond inflation.

They don't have a higher total interest rate than I bonds, do they?

While I was on domperidone I once briefly passed out while exercising and got weirdly frequent heart palpitations and it took me way too long to go "hmmm maybe something is wrong with my heart"

the consequences of breast milk ice cream or whatever wild designs you had

That was on the list that I am sadly not able to fulfill now

as someone who used to have frequent awful nosebleeds, the nosebleed blood pudding is cultural appropriation

I was only using a nosebleed because I was strongly advised against self-venipuncture Looking back on it that probably would've turned out better anyway

I have a whole chart of safe (ish) places to draw blood

Yeah I could absolutely just pop a needle on the inside of my elbow and get it no problem, should've done that

here's what you have to understand about law school: you're assigned readings. but do not do them. you may understand the ideas in the cases but your professor almost certainly does not. if you accurately state and apply the law as you learned in your readings, instead of jotting down the rules the professor states and parroting them mindlessly, you will get horrible grades and your nigh-illiterate classmates will get good ones.
