Freud eventually abandoned this nonsensical procedure in favor of his mature method (psychoanalysis), and so more mature theories (the Oedipus complex, etc) were discovered. He never stopped talking about abuse. He stopped assuming abuse was the only reason someone might suffer.

The "Freudian coverup" myth (the idea that Freud discovered widespread abuse of children, and that his mature theories were attempts to bury that truth) is such perfect slander. It's just a flat out lie, complete bullshit, but it confirms everyone's priors so it doesn't matter.

.@mean_field_zane why didn’t you get into MIT? 😞

I’d imagine it going down like this 😂: Bill Gates: I’d like a Big Mac meal. Here’s my gold card. Crew Member: What in the world is that, sir? Bill: A gold card. I get free McDonald’s food wherever I go. Crew Member: 😲 Free food everywhere? That’s the coolest thing I’ve ever heard! Let me grab my GM before I mess this up. GM: Sir… is this a real gold card for free food? Bill: Yes, it is. GM: Holy fries, I’ve worked here 8 years and nobody’s ever pulled that out! Let me call my supervisor. Supervisor: A gold card? For unlimited free Big Macs? You’re not pranking us, right? Bill: No prank, it’s real. Supervisor: This is wilder than the McRib coming back! Hang on, I’m getting the franchisee. Franchisee: Bill, you telling me this shiny card means you eat here for free forever? Bill: That’s the idea. Franchisee: Well I’ll be dipped in special sauce… Let me call corporate real quick before my brain “fries”. After several more amazed looks and hurried phone calls, Bill smiled politely and said: “You know what? I’ll just pay with cash today.”

@spaghettitext @wifemtrl Lmfao man 💀

@wifemtrl Oh weird, you seemed to respond to others affirming similar feelings. Glad that’s not the case though. Stay strong 💪

someone said in the comments this would break my spirit for a month and it WOULD 😭😭

This adorable porcupette is turning 10 today!!! From this tiny, quill-covered cutie to the spiky star we know and love, Rico has grown up right before our eyes. 🥹 Join us in wishing Rico a very happy 10th birthday!

Ohhhhh little alien

@Voidsspace Actually these are people from Anglophone Third World countries who make their living by "playing the hits"

@DAKKADAKKA1 Given that the driving test was to be conducted in Scarborough, England (of whose residents ~97% are white and ~91% were born in England, per the ONS 2021 census) the instructor’s ethnicity is almost certainly English

I already know the ethnicity of the driving instructor.

Unorthodox shot but send it to her an say us

@fleshsimulator @KlausDeVivar He is English—there’s a good deal about him in MTW. An interesting fact is that Elliot’s paternal grandfather, George, was a notable photojournalist: the elder Rodger’s images of the liberation of Bergen-Belsen were printed in spring 1945 issues of both Time and Life magazines.

@KlausDeVivar I kind of just assumed tbh

The Blashkenazim are optimized for the meta with a balanced stat spread, like Garchomp, whereas the Judeo-Hapa put everything into Special Attack, allowing for devastating effectiveness against slower opponents at the risk of being a "glass cannon"

in fifth grade I wanted nothing more than a television channel I described as "c-span for everything" which just showed footage of work, conversations, and meetings at every single kind of job

I read an article that said something I've said

@grahamcclark1 “Lead [sic.] by the mother of all fake, artificial, counterfeit entities—Israel” is impressively tortured prose: even more unbelievable is the impression one gets from reading that this line seems to have been intended as no less than the coup de grâce!

Precedent of idiotic opinions about Thirty Years' War documents I guess

Versailles, Sykes-Picot - what is it with idiotic opinions and World War I documents (an agreement, not a treaty, sir)

What it's like being married to a 160+ IQ person: Sipping coffee and checking on our plants in the garden (our normal routine)... Mike: "Oh, I figured out how plants grow." Proceeds to give the best explanation ever, something I'd never heard or thought about in my life, even as a plant lover. His brain is always working and discovering new things, not just about coding and software, but about everything around him. He calls it First Principles thinking. He is amazing at ignoring all assumptions and conventions.

@usutav Using your big IQ to do math >>>

Assuming an average of 100 and a SD of 15, an IQ of 120 lands one above 91% of the population. If the upper 20% (Pareto) of common society decided to branch off and form an exclusive breakaway civilisation, the 120 IQ bearer would be 54th percentile within that new world.

@signoremosca Croatia

I got word there exists a whole country full of Italian woman… you’ll never figure out what it’s called…. Take a guess….

@castleb0y “Mam-dinar-i”, maybe?

mamdani was smart to have a name that can't be easily rendered in maoist standard english
