Tell me about it. And even then it's hard (I am currently coming to terms with the fact I am probably autistic)
Struggle sessions can be good and bad, and we talk a lot about self crit, which is also good. Just try not to go full Red Army Faction with it (both the German and Japanese RAF were uh, problematic to say the least).
Haha yeah... I've never been diagnosed but a number of psychs have been like "have you thought about assessment?". Idk what it would change, people are difficult and something said with a smile and an earnestness becomes cold hostility rendered in graceless machine fonts.
And yeah I would agree, mobs can do horrific things but public humiliation is a powerful force for social cohesion.
I often feel (flippantly, this isn't my ideal) that a day in stocks would probably be better for non violent antisocial behaviour than the fuck up life -> torturous confinement -> perpetually marked pipeline most "enlightened" justice systems do :p
Man I just saw their most recent thread about us and wanted to make a throwaway but it requires a fucking email. Like seriously? You don't need one for Hex. Why is this authoritarian redfash instance asking for my papers to post.
mr zero is sometimes cool but often a bit of a drama llama. Seems to have difficulty letting go, something I'm so no users of this instance share ;).
There's no comparing those two, Japan's was way worse
