Post a controversial opinion

If you respond, do it in the Depression thread, I've made a mess enough of this one.

Tea is better than coffee

controversial opinion: confidently giving psychiatric advice to someone online who you don't know in a curt, smug, hostile way bc you're fed up of their posts is not indicative of high quality thinking

FP'd you for this.

(not really but c'mon....)

ogmor OTM

that shouldn't even be a controversial opinion, it should just be accepted wisdom.

This kind of authoritative and dismissive way of addressing people is unfortunately par for the course for those experiencing psychiatric issues

Wait, since when do I have a psychiatric issue? I wasn't diagnosed with any when I saw doctors and therapists. I'm sure they know better than any of you.

That's some cold blooded shit, my man. That's why I never talk about this stuff.

Enough, done, no more on this.

My new controversial opinion is Taylor Swift's new album should have been called "Sounds of the Oligarchy"

fuck i didn't mean it that way, i was at loss for a better word..yeah i'm done with this thread too

Sigh. xp to Larry

Larry/Carpet, you might not have a "psychological issue", but you shouldn't be surprised at people on here thinking you need professional mental help, seeing what you shared with us about your atrocious family and the abuse they gave you. While we are probably all very sympathetic, there is probably nothing we can do or say about that to help you forward. Which is why we wish you seek help, to get out of that sad mess stronger. We can listen, offer support, but can't help you move on/away from such a devastating history. This is why we recommend professional help. To help you, not to say you have an issue.

But please try and get help. Your posts about your past reflect a great willingness to get better, to move on. Try and find someone to help you along the way.

Shooting from the hip at people meaning well and wanting to help you, like Ross, isn't beneficial to anyone. Might sound harsh but you can't come in this particular community (one you were banned from, earlier) and get angry at what someone says, failing to understand we all mean well and just want you to get better.

Geez, thanks. I guess I'm a little paranoid because my grandfather (the guy who talked me into killing myself) was a public relations specialist, so him and my family were excellent at character assassination. Why do you think this shit has lingered so long? No one in their right mind would ever stick around crap like this...

I just haven't found any professional help willing/qualified to deal with this. I've been doing it all on my own. I have an entire library of books on sociology, social psychology, and psychology research that I've been using. What I lived through is something no therapist I've talked to has any clue about.

Maybe I'll try again once I find a new job, cuz I'm in yet another wacky situation! I'm working for a former French legionnaire who tricked me into taking a fucked up marketing job. Oh isn't that so funny.

Thank you for that.

You seem to have a personality disorder and it's unlikely you will ever find a LICSW who is able to break through your self-centered melodrama enough to make real progress.

Keep throwing your angry-drunk potshots at random strangers that are trying to be nice to you and you'll be banned again soon enough.

I've been through the system, I don't have a personality disorder. You know what this "melodrama" is? It's a desperate attempt to survive with very limited resources.

I post this bullshit here because I want a social mirror to reflect what I think is normal back to me, and show me what it really is, done by people who are familiar to people I've known in my life. This probably isn't the BEST forum for that, but it's one I have the most simpatico with due to interests and background, hence why I'm here and doing this. I'm doing this because of my desperation to survive and have a life worth living, because I don't believe in an afterlife, and I know what's tat the end of this.

There's a very intricate "alchemical" reason why I'm doing this. I'm not a stupid guy, Tomboto. I didn't make it this far in life from my background because I'm an idiot.

I apologize again because I know it's selfish, but I'm a desperate man with my back to the wall.

Also, I apologize for being a dick to you.

And thank you.

chicken is boring

I think Marc Bittman called chicken a "blank canvass" or something like that.

chicken is the lettuce of the meat world

i dunno if this is controversial or not but chicken is a bad pizza topping

It's definitely true. Maybe it's controversial based on how many NJ/NY pizzerias have some kind of dried out chicken pizza available at any given time, including (barf) bbq or buffalo chicken pizza. I imagine there has to be some kind of demand for it.

I think it's the California Pizza Kitchen chain that popularized barbecue chicken pizza (barbecue sauce, cilantro, onion, gouda).

Prior to that I think I only saw chicken pizza on trying-too-hard-to-be-healthy white pizzas with broccoli or whatevs. An unwelcome gift from the West Coast.

Most of NY Pizza is in a pretty sorry state today tbh. The Ray's type places have really promulgated the concept of pizza as stale garbage pile.

There is sort of a new wave of good places but they are pricey, and there are only a few really good slice places left scattered around, probably more in the boroughs than manhattan.

i know this is not the kind of pizz you're talking about but each time i go to nyc my friend brings me to saraggina in bed stuy and it's really good

Yeah I mean I like that kind of sit-down wood-fired pizza a lot too, I just wish good slice places were easier to find. I'm partial to Joe's but never make it there. In my neck of Queens we do have a couple decent ones though, nothing I'd hop on a subway for but good for local.

Ey, NYC, your pizza friggin SUCKS, I gotcha controversial opinion right HEAH!

you won't regret. also, when i went, server literally took our orders, walked into kitchen, and emerged not 1 minute later w two arms full of dishes

ok here's one

sometimes it's ok to "blame the victim" in your own head as long as that opinion doesn't affect your support for them, either personally or in terms of policy

Too many caveats tbh

You can't police thoughts. That's pretty uncontroversial, I guess.

texas will get sympathy from me when they start voting for politicians that believe climate change is real

http://www.chron.com/news/politics/houston/article/Turner-named-to-climate-leadership-post-11244979.php

I mean, I agree in principle, but Houston is working on it.

of eligible voters, in a state with voter id laws that have been shot down in court recently iirc, about 23% of texans voted for trump.

harris county - where houston is - voted for clinton
