Re: Winter Solstice 2022

It is interesting to me to consider what this day meant to our ancestors, even just in a practical sense. The Yule celebration was/is largely a celebration of the annual return of the sun. It will be cold in the coming months, but understanding the solstice comes with the knowledge that the sun is n...

Re: Want a good chuckle?

I seriously doubt that the blue-gummed, knuckle-draggin' pavement apes invented either the door knob or the curtain rod. My rationale is based upon the fact that despite being domiciled--illegally, I might add--in America for over 400 years the pavement apes' minds are still back in their "mudda la...

They're not compatible with iPhones, are they?
No, the two mentioned here only work on Google Pixels, and there is really nothing comparable for an iPhone.

Re: Your Smartphone: The Omnipresent Spy

Just because you're not doing anything illegal doesn't mean you shouldn't take your privacy seriously, and just because you take your privacy seriously doesn't mean you're paranoid. I agree some people are unreasonable with how they want us all to act like we are Edward Snowden, but I think this pos...

Re: Your Smartphone: The Omnipresent Spy

I already use GrapheneOS. My understanding is that it's better from a privacy standpoint than any other OS, whereas CalyxOS is still pretty good for privacy, certainly way better than stock Android, but it's better for compatibility with different apps. Many apps won't work on GrapheneOS without som...

Re: "Racism"

This is just Critical Race Theory. None of these terms or ideas originate in psychiatry or psychology. CRT stems pretty directly from Marxism. It is safe to say that the APA, like any other major institution I can think of, has been infiltrated and subverted by Marxists. I don't think it is safe to ...

Re: Psychiatry, A Jewish Scam

The distinction between psychology and psychiatry is simple: Psychiatrists are licensed medical doctors, whereas psychologists are not medically licensed, they cannot write prescriptions, and they are more likely to be involved on the research side than the clinical side. That's it. In other words, ...

Re: Psychiatry, A Jewish Scam

The thing about Freud is that his actual methods, as far as I'm aware, are pretty much universally understood to be wrong by modern experts. I mainly hear Freud referenced in pop culture movies and such, like "the Freudian slip", not in any real scientific context. Freud's main innovation seems to h...

Re: Psychiatry, A Jewish Scam

I don't disagree that the field of psychiatry is rife with Jewish lies, but I do take issue with the statement "psychiatry is a Jewish scam". The real scam is the American Psychological Association, which is "the leading scientific and professional organization representing psychology in the United ...
