Oh you think they preserve things that people would otherwise destroy and have already partially destroyed, do you? LITTLE DO YOU KNOW!

This appears to be someone who is literally insane, in the sense that he has a mental illness (schizophrenia?) rather than just being misinformed and stubborn.

Yeah, I have a lot of experience helping people with early stage schizophrenia (lucky me!) and this was hard to read. They're at that point where they're still self aware, but they're losing the ability to self-analyze their behavior and filter delusion from conclusion. Just gutwrenching.

Is schizophrenia easier to treat or manage, if you catch it in this stage?

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Broadly yes - although my understanding is that it doesn't really impact the potential effectiveness of antipsychotics or therapy to "catch it early" as it were, its much much easier to get an effective treatment plan figured out when someone is still able to reliably show up to doctors appointments and trust the other people in their life.

Fucking hell, I really hope they have someone in their life that can get them to a psychiatrist because this is some of the most painfully textbook early-mid stage schizophrenia I've ever seen.

Seriously, they're even talking about how their pareidolia has gotten worse. I try not to armchair diagnose people but fuck, this is like a question from a psych final asking you to chart your DD, but it's easy and everything you write down is bad. This poor person.

Finally some content that's not just SovCits

And good content, too - you couldn't write this shit with Larry David, Bob Odenkirk and David Cross in the room.

I post here a fair amount, mostly people from an "archaeology wall of shame" group on Facebook.

I honestly prefer the sovcit stuff. But yes, this is good.

So.. let me get this straight: if I see a bulldozer in a hole, that is not the time for a “That’s what she said” joke, but an actual de-polymerized contraption of alien technology? (hashtag open minded)

This guy would love Bionicle lore.

Wait till he finds out that stents were developed using soil from Easter Island. #radiolab

Thanks, but I think I'll take the opinion of guy who went there and spoke to a bunch of people
