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 ;).
