  • Famous story of a son who broke both arms and the mom felt bad he couldn’t masturbate so she started jerking him which led to more…

    It’s very fucked up story. But whenever a similar topic comes up someone has to say “I bet he had broken arms” or something like that.

    Similar one is “shoes came off so he’s definitely dead” whenever some fall or other force throws someone to the ground.

    It was funny at one point… Maybe like 6 years ago. But like jfc there’s no original thought, just echo chamber zingers.

    Oh another one: “I also choose this guy’s dead wife”


  • A lot more comments like reddit that are the quick (very tired) zingers. I was happy to get away from that but I’m sort of thinking of putting lemmy down if it gets worse.

    I don’t need your “this.” Or “broken arms” or “that’s insulting to trash” etc.

    It’s beyond tired. But it gets up voted and can dominate the comments section. I appreciate threads like this one that promote actual discussion.









  • This is a very very good habit to have. It does wonders for mental health including reducing existential dread and depression. It’s not a silver bullet but it helps tremendously.

    I try to remember whenever something bad is happening to me like a cold, or getting laid off, I’m grateful to not be a victim of genocide or taken as POW in Russia. Hell, not having to be drafted in the military like Americans did in Vietnam.

    Being grateful in the face of suffering is its own CBT
