These things are diagnostic criteria. It's also part of "differential diagnosis".
How does it feel to believe you know something about a complex topic, when actually you know nothing, and you in fact know that you don't know, but act like you do?
That's a constant internet phenomenon since the internet began. I don't even know what to call you guys, neckbeards?
I don't even know.
It was pretty much started by a bunch of religious women with taliban like attitudes.
Yeah, if something that actually works is discovered, or improved, that will be the beginning of a new civilization. This one will be gone.
However, until that happens it's nonsensical to demand this one change. We should talk about it, but the demands are silly.
Thanks.
I noticed this from watching old Star Treks.
There would be some world and their entire culture was based on "Trimantium" or whatever. This would cause endless problems because that substance was what made their society function. If there isn't any, then that's it for that society.
I started to realize that "oil" is our version of that. It's also weirdly a hot topic to complain about. Oil is like THE ONLY REASON to have a war, not economic models or religion, but people will support wars for that but not the stuff that everything is made out of.
There's something about people where they don't want to admit they are dependent on something.
Yes, I have been a therapist for over 30 years. It was obvious back then.
My test used to be if a kid knew a lot about an entertaining topic, they didn't have it. Dragon Ball Z was very popular then and a complex story. Lots of kids knew all the details and they were diagnosed with ADHD. The fact was, they just didn't like school.
Again, it was yuppies who had a kid because they're "supposed to" and totally neglected the kid or ghetto people who live the exact same way only they have their kids by accident. Just two different type of self-absorbed selfish people.
I noted a true ADHD is rare and I feel sorry for them. They can't enjoy anything. That's how I knew, they couldn't enjoy fun shows, videogames, and so on.
Shut up.
There aren't alternatives, research it, because I have.
A few years ago a company made biodegradable plastic straws out of potatoes. I was happy!
Turns out they are massively expensive to make. So, no one is going to buy them.
I am 53 and have been interested in science since I was a kid. I have researched the shit out of many topics. As I was saying about the 1700s, there were no alternatives then, and there are none now. What's promoted as alternatives is usually lies by some company to sell stock, then fold. We have potato straws!!! It will be the dominator of the straw market! People invest blindly, then it turns out to be bs.
In the 90s ethanol was supposed to replace gas. Not possible.
in the early 2000s hydrogen cars were supposed to be a thing. Turns out, making hydrogen is costly, dirty, etc.
There are no alternatives to the technology our civilization is based on. If they are ever invented, it will take a long time to transition, just as it did in the past.
I came at you in exactly the same way you came at me.
Don't like it, pussy?
I hate the "incel" term.
There would be no movie if it was about a born weirdo.
The film is about a good and caring guy driven crazy by a cruel world.
The film is about a fucked up American dream.
People are poor and can't get anywhere. You have to sell drugs, be a whore, etc to make a living unless you want to go to school forever, etc. If you notice, they don't make much money in the end, but to them it's like a billion dollars, because they get to go on vacation and live it up a bit.
If you work at Walmart, you never get a vacation, watching TV is your vacation. So, you dad dying, getting beaten, killing people, it's all worth it.
That's one reason I love the movie.
The problem with her topic is it's a half truth.
I wrote about that somewhere on this board.
Her cause is an accusation about our CIVILIZATION and what it's based on. There is no changing it.
In the past, say the 1700s, the civilization was based on Stone and Wood. In Italy, there's mountains of marble that people have craved apart. So, huge chunks of mountains are gone and the marble is exposed. They used wood, that caused all kinds of smoke, soot, can smell everywhere. They had no sewers, etc.
Imagine if we learned there was some activist from the 1742 demanding they change all of that by 1743. It would seem really stupid. That's because we now know, there were no alternatives for wood, stone, and so forth. The civilization of 1742 was based on those things. No one could change it and the people were not reverting to caveman to save the mountains!
That is what's happening now. There are no real alternatives to plastic, oil, and so forth. Maybe in hundreds of years things will slowly change. But, no one is going to go backwards and without real alternative tech, we can't go forward.
She will never be smart enough to figure that out nor will her wranglers. So, her fad will end soon, she will get older, feel like a failure, or just be mystified about what went wrong, then she will get depressed, and so forth downhill. It's just like most child stars.
Please shut the fuck up about subjects you know nothing about.
Yes.
In the 90s ADHD was a cash type of diagnosis that was overhyped.
For instance, you need to check if parents are actually spending time teaching their kids. Do the parents provide structure at home, thus creating a role model for school. And, you need to see if the kid is BORED by school. In that case, the symptoms are better explained by poor training and socialization, which is common, not an illness. Boredom is simply a preference, as no one likes the same things, or is caused by school environment.
Yuppies and ghetto poor people children got this diagnosis a lot because their parents tend not to care about them much.
That's called "differential diagnosis" and any good clinician does that to find a simpler explanation other than mental illness.
I started my career working with autistic people, before the diagnosis got changed. Autistic people are BIZARRE and Aspergers people VERY VERY bizarre and cannot function. It's way all diagnosis are in the DSM, they stop people from functioning. Mental Retardation and Autism are about as bad as it can get.
Just as I explained about ADHD, they dumbed down autism to falsely include more kids. That is evil. There's been a backlash against ADHD for that reason, but that's after millions got the fake diagnosis.
I work in psych and if she had autism she wouldn't care about "global issues" she wouldn't be able to connect with people, she wouldn't care to, and so on. That is what autism is all about.
A few years ago the autism foundation was low on funds, they advocated to loosen the diagnosis. Aspergers is no longer a diagnosis and now they included very general terms, that could be described better by other explanations, so more kids could be diagnosed to make more money for autism, which is rare.
People with autism are massively "fucked up" and bizarre, they do not give speeches and front causes.
The girl who plays Mary Jane is ugly, and is terrible casting.
However, there was a black Catwoman in the 60s and she was the rather ugly Eartha Kit. So, it's not new SJW crap, however, Catwoman is not black and is a love interest of Batman, so there has to be chemistry. That is frequently hard to sell with this combo.
You are correct.
It's SAYING you're going to have a black and female lead, like you MUST accept this and there will be NO white male characters, and so forth. It's propaganda but not covert. It's people telling you you must watch and must have propaganda.
That's bizarre because that is not how you do propaganda, lol.
There have been cool and powerful black and especially female characters since the 1940s.
Also, the movies have zero cool and witty dialogue. So, you have dumb looking black guy and serious looking white female (black guy white female is a cliche) saying nothing to win us over.
They are boring.
He looks like a dull alcoholic.
These have been ruined by the "realistic" nonsense that was going on when the first one came out. So, he has no special equipment and no science fiction going on.
Bond movies are typically science fiction stories that are near future, meaning the science is something just coming. You can have a real science fiction film without it being silly. I'm sure DARPA has all kinds of things they are working on that would be surprising. This guy would have that stuff.
Craig doesn't look handsome, or thuggish, as Bond is supposed to. At times he looks like a waddling monkey with severe alcoholism.
Plots, a lot of the plots in these films are just stupid and boring. Sky Fall was retarded. They need details plots that maybe go across several films, like Marvel. SPECTRE is a great idea for that.
For everyone here, you have said nothing.
You have to explain why it is not good and why it is better than other films like it.
Those are called "well thought out opinions" and create this thing call "discussion" lol.
Good Fellas and Casino were faster paced, wittier, and funnier. They were more entertaining. This film was slow and verged on boring, but was more realistic and less snappy.
Excellent points.
The Joker is educational.
There's people who will watch Star Wars and think it's about space ships when it's about love and family dynamics. That is the theme.
Joker has an educational theme that is clear to see, but as with Star Wars....
Please try again, lol.
