@PlzBeSensible @mattyglesias Okay, as promised, some links. @Burgerfacemcta1

This is from Canada:

 @ondakondratiev @PlzBeSensible @mattyglesias @Burgerfacemcta1 This was in Psychiatric Times: https://t.co/nnIzbeBcJT
@ondakondratiev @PlzBeSensible @mattyglesias @Burgerfacemcta1 This is from a uni counseling center, and is a good overview of gendered victim-blaming for male victims: https://t.co/Z0OfchkhbB
@ondakondratiev @PlzBeSensible @mattyglesias @Burgerfacemcta1 This is tangentially about male victims of sex crimes and discusses gendered bonding and what men can admit. https://t.co/i39UPRWtU4
@ondakondratiev @PlzBeSensible @mattyglesias @Burgerfacemcta1 Finally, RAINN has a summary, similar in theme to the UTK counseling center above: https://t.co/LnHEz7GxHS
@ondakondratiev @PlzBeSensible @mattyglesias @Burgerfacemcta1 The issue isn't "are men victimized?" (yes). It's, sex crimes are gendered: the feelings of shame *differ* for male and female survivors.
@ondakondratiev @PlzBeSensible @mattyglesias @Burgerfacemcta1 The Canadian link delves the deepest into coping mechanisms, and they're incredibly gendered, and therapists should recognize this.
@ondakondratiev @PlzBeSensible @mattyglesias @Burgerfacemcta1 Oh, and even though it's not about men, here are some resources about lesbian abuse survivors - because, again, this is gendered.
@ondakondratiev @PlzBeSensible @mattyglesias @Burgerfacemcta1 This paper is quantitative and not qualitative, but, it finds abused lesbians experience internalized homophobia. https://t.co/138u7bXfet
@ondakondratiev @PlzBeSensible @mattyglesias @Burgerfacemcta1 Here's a 2-page brochure, mentioning the queer-specific abuser tactic, "sleep with me to prove you're really queer." https://t.co/z4dnJ6wyWj
@ondakondratiev @PlzBeSensible @mattyglesias @Burgerfacemcta1 RAINN again mentions queer survivors, and it's useful to compare-and-contrast with their page for male survivors. https://t.co/VIhwZAtHMw
@ondakondratiev @PlzBeSensible @mattyglesias @Burgerfacemcta1 Finally, IHE has an article with a few examples of queer sexual assault on US uni campuses. https://t.co/o0guPLtVp2
@ondakondratiev @PlzBeSensible @mattyglesias @Burgerfacemcta1 I bring all of this up because to me at least, the natural segue from descriptive statistics is to talk about the victims and their needs.
@ondakondratiev @PlzBeSensible @mattyglesias @Burgerfacemcta1 The emergent picture from most of the links (and the literal text of the Canadian study) is that victims experience it in a gendered way.
@ondakondratiev @PlzBeSensible @mattyglesias @Burgerfacemcta1 And in particular, therapists need to recognize this and not just search-and-replace what they know of M/f victims to M/m, F/m, F/f, or ?/?.
@ondakondratiev @PlzBeSensible @mattyglesias @Burgerfacemcta1 So now that I've stopped talking about the interesting topic that is sexual assault, let's transition to the less interesting topic of SSC.
@ondakondratiev @PlzBeSensible @mattyglesias @Burgerfacemcta1 SSC *did not do any of this*. That post led with descriptive statistics and then segued to mocking #MeToo.
@ondakondratiev @PlzBeSensible @mattyglesias @Burgerfacemcta1 And as it happens, even that meta mockery is wrong. The post was written more than a month after the revelations about Kevin Spacey.
@ondakondratiev @PlzBeSensible @mattyglesias @Burgerfacemcta1 SSC's worst problem is, it discusses topical social issues rarely and shallowly. That's too blue/red tribe. It prefers meta-commentary.
@ondakondratiev @PlzBeSensible @mattyglesias @Burgerfacemcta1 It replicates normal punditry this way, except that pundits love the media that they work in and SSC's community hates the media.

It's funny how so many people who claim to worship "democracy" also dismiss nationalism as selfish xenophobia. Democracy is absolutely meaningless without strong national sovereignty. Under globalism, citizens of any given state have little influence over how they are governed.

Nationalism isn't just mindless tribalism. People are correct to insist their government has a responsibility TO THEM that vastly outweighs any imagined responsibility to foreign governments they have absolutely no influence over, or foreign populations.

We've seen that point taken to absurd extremes by the Left during the Trump administration, with whack-job judges ruling that foreigners have rights that EXCEED those of American citizens, including absolute rights to enter the U.S. and influence its government.

And we're frequently told that some international elite "consensus" completely overrides our ability to make individual decisions - or even to petition our own government, or vote for representatives who disagree with whatever "the world" has supposedly decided.

All of that is the absolute negation of "democracy" in any form, including the dangerous mob rule and majoritarianism that the Left selectively advocates. (Notice they always have a list of things nobody gets to vote on anymore, no matter how strong the majority vote would be.)

global health policy in 2020 has centered around NPI's (non-pharmaceutical interventions) like distancing, masks, school closures

these have been sold as a way to stop infection as though this were science.

this was never true and that fact was known and knowable.

let's look.


above is the plot of social restriction and NPI vs total death per million. there is 0 R2. this means that the variables play no role in explaining one another.

we can see this same relationship between NPI and all cause deaths.

this is devastating to the case for NPI.


clearly, correlation is not proof of causality, but a total lack of correlation IS proof that there was no material causality.

barring massive and implausible coincidence, it's essentially impossible to cause something and not correlate to it, especially 51 times.

this would seem to pose some very serious questions for those claiming that lockdowns work, those basing policy upon them, and those claiming this is the side of science.

there is no science here nor any data. this is the febrile imaginings of discredited modelers.

this has been clear and obvious from all over the world since the beginning and had been proven so clearly by may that it's hard to imagine anyone who is actually conversant with the data still believing in these responses.

everyone got the same R

Joanna Cherry:"Alex Salmond secured a concession that nothing in Scotland Act would preclude the people of Scotland from subsequently choosing an independent future. This is recorded in Hansard during second reading of Referendums (Scotland & Wales) Bill, May 21, 1997."

Donald Dewar said: “I should be the last to challenge the sovereignty of the people, or deny them the right to opt for any solution to the constitutional question they wished. For example, if they want to go for independence, I see no reason why they should not do so." JC

"In same debate Alex Salmond went on to emphasise that “… the Claim of Right referred to sovereign right of the Scottish people to determine a form of Govt best suited to their needs. It did not suggest sovereignty resides with English Members of Parliament." Joanna Cherry

Joanna Cherry: "Donald Dewar articulated the democratic norm later enshrined in the Edinburgh Agreement. His concession laid the foundation for the 2014 referendum in recognising the rights of Scots to choose whether to remain part of our voluntary union with England."

"I am wholly in agreement with view that we must find a legal & constitutional way to demonstrate that public opinion in Scotland has changed since 2014 referendum, in order for our independence to be internationally recognised & therefore meaningful." Joanna Cherry

If you often procrastinate, open this

Stop being a perfectionist.

The root of procrastination for most people ain't laziness, it's anxiety.

I know your anxiety will tell you the worst case scenario. It’s a damn liar.

If you're a procrastinator, you will find every excuse not to do what u need to do. But here's an advice: DO IT FIRST, I call it reverse procrastination.

at some point we have to recognise that the financial anxiety young people are living through is not normal. monetising all your hobbies is not normal. hustle culture is not normal. glorifying precarious work is not normal. self-optimisation is not normal.

all these issues have a single root and guess what? it's the economic system we live under!! but we're too fucking exhausted to even see an alternative to capitalism because we're so broken and fatigued by it. it doesn't have to be this way, we can seek a different future.

As Mark Fisher argued, it's easier to imagine the end of the world than it is the end of capitalism. We've been utterly brainwashed by every part of our society to think that everything we're experiencing right now is extremely normal! But clearly, capitalism is failing us.

How about instead of “manifesting” money on TikTok, we work towards building a more equal society? Just a thought.

Incredible! People in the replies to this are like “people who hustle will be relaxing when they get wealthy”. That’s IF and not when and still, that’s not a given. The fact we don’t see having a regular full-time job as enough “hustling” or whatever is so scary to me.

Ok, I'll hop on this Elizabeth Warren/Native American testing bandwagon (gently and non-politically).

I've been a @23andMe customer for a while, and have followed their ancestry updates closely.

All is more or less as expected....except for this bit about Native American.


The family is almost completely composed of Spanish peasants (from various regions) who emigrated, along with a massive wave in the late 19th-cent./early 20th-cent., to Cuba back when it was a booming economy (richer than Spain's) and worth emigrating to (Communism killed that).

Also, the native population of Cuba was annihilated early on---was the first place the Spanish colonized after all. Having a native background in Cuba would be like having the same in, say, Massachusetts, particularly if you're (say) mostly Irish. Just really, really unlikely.

(Note: the North African/Arab background is less mysterious. The Iberian peninsula was part of the Muslim world for centuries. It would be odd *not* to have some Arab/Middle Eastern background coming from Spain. Given the family is mostly from Northern Spain, it's small though.)

I have a Spanish passport, have been back to the ancestral villages in Spain, seen the church where my grandmother was baptized, my grandfather told me stories about growing up as the child of Spanish colonists in rural Cuba. The native bit just clashes with all the family lore.

Sri Gurubhyo Namaha.


After the phenomenon called Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati came another one - Sri Abhinava Vidya Teertha [1954-1989] the 35th Jagadguru. Srinivasa was born on Nov 13, 1917. He was initiated into Sanyasa by Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati in 1931. He was Jagadguru for 35 years.

He was chosen and specifically trained to take over Peetadhipatyam from Sri Mahaswami. He is majorly responsible for the way Sringeri currently is. He built various buildings for devotees, Gajashala, Gooshala etc.

Acharya on conversions:
Once a person approached Sri Acharya that some other religions are trying to convert Hindus and requested Sri AVT to do prevent these conversions.

AVT replied - what do u mean by religion? Religion i.e. mata is related to 'mati' or intellect.
Caste is called 'jAti' which is related to janana or birth.
Ex- breed of a cow. we cannot change its qualities to resemble another breed by changing its name.

Manipulation Sign:

If you are compromising too much, there is a chance that you are getting manipulated.

Why are you the one that's always compromising?

How come the other person always gets their way?

Be more curious.

If something seems off, stick up for yourself.

'Wait, you sure I am being manipulated?'

I have no clue, that is only something that you can decide for yourself.

'Dang is there anything I need to look out for?'

Plenty..

But let me give you a few things to look out for.

👇

I see manipulation as skillfully controlling someone's behavior for egotistical or unethical purposes.

'How come people don't leave when it's happening to them?'

Because most people have 0 clue that they are being manipulated.

1. Guilt Trip

You ever made a mistake around someone, only for them to hold it over your head?

The will always bring up the mistake when you 2 are not seeing eye to eye.

These people will use that mistake as leverage to get what they want from you in the future.

Look out.

2. The Rationalizer

This person will commit the worst acts & find a way to rationalize it.

Example: cheaters when they get caught.

They have every excuse in the book for why they did it.

Heck, they are so good at rationalizing, they will make it seem like your fault.
