Is accusing your therapist of rape one of the diagnostic criteria for BPD? It could be. Then again she’s a cute young blonde telling wild tales about her time in Hollywood to some older psychologist in SLC, so I could see a creepy therapist taking advantage of that too.

Bogan's probably seen Requiem for a Dream, and thought "Why can't that be my life?"

So what happens when you put a autistic with a BPD?

A really long Kiwi Farms thread.

Given what we’ve seen unfold the past eight months I don’t doubt she’s BPD. I have no idea if she’s truly bipolar, but they like to slap that label on because there are meds to prescribe for it and it’s easier to treat than BPD.

Mood disorders are almost miraculously treatable and are the great success story of psychiatry, which would be virtually quackery without anything treatable. Schiz, bipolar and depression are the three where you can quite literally fix much of them with a pill and turn someone who'd be in a cage for life into someone at least semi-functional most of the time.

The personality disorders are a graveyard, though, just an absolute death sentence, at least the horrible ones like BPD. Only Jesus can fix that shit, not even being ironic.

Should have stuck it out with Lowtax then.. He’d eventually send her out for “ass to ass” for more pills.

It goes to show Lowtax's prioritizing short term gratification over long term investment. For most of its existence, a primary income stream was 10bux from banned people re-reging, predicated on the woefully shortsighted assumption that this was a sustainable business model and that people would either re-reg or that those who didn't would be replaced by new registrations.

Kicking people off the forum they paid their hard earned to join. Great business model. Goons as a whole are pathetic, but over the decades, this bled SA dry as people got tired of getting banned and re-reging. In fact, this practice selected for the sort of unfunny, deeply cucked dorks that populate the forum today. The type that will spend "in the low 6 figures" to buy a dead, gay comedy forum.

Eventually, the admins got overt about this. Anyone remember the Shark Weeks they used to do (maybe still do?), where for a week, they hyper-enforced the rules and banned people at the drop of a hat under the pretense of "cleaning up the forums", but it was really just a desperate attempt to inject money from re-regs?

Imagine creating a business model where socklords are your most valuable customers.

imagine taking yourself so seriously that you believe you are "part of" an online community and giving a fuck about anything. just lol

doesn't this also expose the obnoxious social justice morality (there since the mid 00s, these guys were pioneers of that) of the forums as completely hollow if they were so willing to take EVIL BIGOTS back for a small fee? it's a wonder they lasted as long as they did

Being blacked would be several steps up from being Dicked by Dickard Lowtax.

Antidepressants are modern day snake oil

The NICE review data suggest that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors do not have a clinically meaningful advantage over placebo, which is consistent with other recent meta-analyses

Meta-analyses of FDA trials suggest that antidepressants are only marginally efficacious compared to placebos and document profound publication bias that inflates their apparent efficacy.

 

[Pumpkin Girl IRL]

Anti depressants work, but not if they're treated as a cure rather than assistance. I've seen so many people swallow a couple but do nothing else with their lives, and blame the meds for not doing anything.

The toxx clause was just suppose to be "Shut up and put your money where you month is". It was a $10 (or more, depending what account ad-on you had) bet for something to happen and that was it. It got kind of big in D&D for election threads but I wouldn't blame the toxx clause for why people didn't come back after the 08 election (cause you did not have to make the bet). Just a bunch of conservative's read the room and just figure it wasn't worth it any more with the way the mods were running the place.

There are usually combos where mood disorders are combined with personality disorders, formed when the person developed from a child with an already fucked up mind, to the point you can treat the mood disorder but the personality is still absolutely fucked.

It's pure admission of defeat when you literally can't even cope with the presence of people who disagree with you. It should be considered a shameful failure, and you should deal with the fact you disgraced your ideology by admitting it is incompatible with a reality in which people can disagree with you and express arguments you apparently can't address, because if you could, you would. Instead you run away like a fucking coward into some shitty safe space.

SA is the distillation of intellectual cowardice into its purest form and it is absolutely pathetic how much modern SJW stupidity directly comes from that shithole of a site that should be burned to the ground. Look how much shit, from troons to modern tankies to safe spaces to abject, pathetic lunacy in general started there. Just the very concept that because a man claims to be a woman and puts on a dress, you have to go along with this bullshit and pretend he actually is a woman, pure SA shit. Absolute insanity.

And it has infected society at large now.

The progression sort of makes sense. On SA they got accustomed to banning people who disagreed with the community’s opinion of the month. Seems like a easy lead in to today’s cancel culture by erasing and destroying anyone who’s opinions offend them in larger online society.

She boned Lowtax.

Niggas, we all have a 99% success rating on asking this psycho woman to fly over for a deep dicking and future domestic. Incels, if you want to ruin your life in new and exciting ways, here is your chance.

I bet we could turn this horrid slut into our personal slam pig and just pass her around for months.

The problem is it would utterly destroy everything, including this site and probably civilization itself.

 

[Never Scored]

Lowtax could have mined classic SA forums content for a podcast. People make fun of cringy Reddit shit on youtube and have tens of thousands of viewers. He could have done a dregs of internet 1.0 podcast that played to people's nostalgia based on old SA shit like Two Worlds and Bareback Rodeo, basically Mad at the Internet with content from 15 years ago. I would have listened to it. Just look at this shit:

I met a girl in the information common the other day. We were waiting in line to use computers, and she pointed over to the other side of the room and said something. I didn't hear her because I was wearing earphones, so I took them out and looked at her for a bit. She repeated herself and asked me if "that person just left a computer over there." The person was only printing, so I told her that. Then she smiled at me and I saw that as my chance.

"Do you want to use a computer together?"
"What?"
"We can use one together if you want."
"Oh no that's OK I'm just meeting someone."

After that she turned back around, stood still for another 30 seconds or so, and then walked out of the information common. Nice fucking excuse bitch. Why didn't you just tell me you had an appointment at the circus or something.

It's gold.

Agree. Here's a more in depth version for anyone who cares, or is new to the thread, or was never a goon:

Spoiler

The downfall started when a bunch of posters toxx'd for Ron Paul winning the 2008 GOP primary. Then even more people toxx'd that McCain would beat Obama. Hundreds and hundreds got banned by the time it was over; these weren't all necessarily forum superstars, but they were people who followed and cared about politics and were therefor most likely to be the type to add a center-to-right-of-center voice to any political discussion. This all happened within ~6 months or so, and it shifted the forums jarringly to the left. It wasn't quite the People's Republic of Something Awful yet, but the political discourse went from being roughly split between conservatives, moderates and liberals (with a fractional minority of people with hard left politics who were generally told to stop being faggots by everyone but the liberals) to being about 80% liberal and 20% split between conservatives and moderates combined.

This new liberal majority, now being the loudest and most sizable political voice on the forums was able to pressure the admins for all sorts of stuff: banning certain words, initially (this is when "faggot"was given the ax, and while "nigger" was already technically bannable if used in a racist context but sorta allowed if it was clearly being used edgily/ironically it was now banned entirely); "tranny" wasn't yet bannable, I don't think, but it was largely becoming socially verboten on the forums.

So, now you have a liberal forum where you won't get called a faggot or a nigger and won't have to do much defending of your views against conservatives. This attracted further left people to join. Gradually, more changes got pushed through. LF was originally established as a sub-forum for the few remaining conservative-leaning goons to shit post about Ron Paul or whatever, but after the 2012 election, where even more of the remaining conservative/moderate goons toxx'd for Ron Paul in the primary and Romney in the general, the last real vestiges of outspoken moderate/conservative politics were pretty much gone for good. LF, now left without a real purpose due to the vacancy of conservative goons and the gradual pozzing of the forums in general got taken over by liberals being 'ironic' dem-socs, who then became dem-socs being 'ironic' communists, who then became communists being "ironic" tankie Stalin apologists as they spiraled further and further left. Eventually, LF would see 100% serious hard left tankies horseshoe theorying themselves into calling for the death of Jews/Israel from the left with only token mod/admin disapproval if the posts were particularly violent in nature.

Then, 2016 happened and people lost their fucking minds. A lot of the more moderate leftists -- who would have been among the most liberal people on the forum in 2008, but were now the new 'conservatives' (defined as such because they didn't want to immediately start guillotine rich people while their young children are forced to watch) due to the Goonverton Window shifting to the hard left -- toxx'd for Clinton, who everyone was sure would win. Clinton shat the bed, they got banned and with it, the only real political voices on the forums at all were ultra-left commies. This is around the time where Tumblr-esque 'gender discourse' became a huge thing in ultra-left circles, and it infected SA almost immediately as a result. Trans goons were already accepted by now, and 'transphobic slurs' banned at some undefined point prior, but now unquestioning, mandatory support for a bunch of mentally ill, autistic men hopped up on lady hormones and screaming about the need to behead the cis became the new SA political shibboleth; cis goons were expected to not just tolerate trans people posting, not just use the proper pronouns, not just to grovel if any offense, even accidental, occurred, but to shut up, stay in their lane, 'center' the trans posters and let them lead forum discourse since they were the most marginalized people imaginable.

At this point, everything was fucked. People started demanding idpol subforums like Negrotown where even if you were black, you literally had to show your skin color to be allowed to post and to determine where on the progressive stack you fit in vis a vis how much "light skin privilege" you have; they started demanding troon mods and troon front page writers "for representation", etc.

Finally, the virtue spiral caught up to Lowtax himself. He's a cis white straight dude who used to say "faggot" a lot and voted for George Bush in 2000. For that alone, his days were numbered as soon as he approved the first Ron Paul 2008 toxx ban, but even more so given that he's a genuinely loathsome fuck who has been accused of domestic violence by 3 out of 3 of his last long term relationships. It was clear, at least to me, that he didn't like the new tranny overlords, but was both powerless to stop them and willing to cuck for gibs. Now he's out, and a woke dude who embraces the garbage fire bought it. I give it 6-12 months from the date Jefferey of YOSPOS officially takes the reigns until the site spontaneously combusts.

And that, in a small novel, is how and why SA went from being Kiwi Farms-esque prior to 2008 to a forum full of tranny communists where no leftist position is too fucked or violent or gross. It's good that SA is going to implode soon, as if it'd limped on for a few more years, I don't doubt in the slightest that mocking pedophiles would be bannable ("it's a mental illness uwu you're ableist uwu"), Pet Island would allow bestiality posts ("NO KINK SHAMING, SHITLORDS") and everyone to the right of Pol Pot banned for being a "Nazi".

I never made the connection to the Ron Paul stuff. That's interesting because I do remember SA leaning more libertarian when I first joined around 2005.

I posted in Wrestlehut and the YCS webcomic thread 99% of the time toward the end of my time on SA and I didn't even notice the spiral until they banned faggot. I ate a week-long probation for paraphrasing someone who called someone a faggot, not even saying it myself. I said something along the lines of "x thinks y's a faggot."

i posted on SA after the GBS rules were removed, and then i was banned for breaking the rules

Can we a "thirsty" rating up in this piece? Because this thead really needs a thirsty rating for all these White Knights.

its the deviant rating, but you can't get that unless you send null money.

I doubted logan had borderline because a rapey therapist diagnosed her with it after she responded to bipolar medication. A whole lot of the symptoms of borderline can be attributed to having bipolar disorder, the difference is that meds for a bipolar person wouldn't help a person who only has borderline. Im not saying its impossible to have both, just unlikely, but making a patient radioactive to other therapists is very much in line with what a therapist would do if they wanted to fuck their patients, and that is what a borderline diagnosis will do. Maybe she has it maybe not, but she needs to get an evaluation from someone that doesn't fuck their patients.
