How does it feel to be an expert in a dying field?

while you were attending therapy i was studying the blade

what do you mean i need better coping mechanisms

>a wild therapist has entered the chat you need an additional coping mechanism studying the blade is a DBT principle called Building Mastery - wherein you engage in anything that is practical during which you gain skill and can actively see yourself progress - which is resilience building technique by which you shore yourself against vulnerability factors that make it harder to regulate emotions and manage activities of daily life and interpersonal interactions effectively. if you continue to study the blade while engaging in therapy, it will in fact make your therapeutic session more effective because having a skill that you pursue builds self-esteem and is a foundation upon which other coping skills can be built. so not better coping skills, blademaster, additional ones. you are already heading in the right direction and you have proven you have the tenacity to apply yourself to one discipline. now show us what you can do when applying yourself to your healing.

there are a million valid reasons to hate generative ai but i personally will never forgive it for making people see an em dash and think something was written using ai. like how dare you. how DARE you. the em dash is my best friend. i will fill my writing with as many em dashes as i damn well please, heedless of grammatical constraints and conventions, and i shan't let ai take that away from me

That's probably also part of this, yeah

Reminder that Fox News ran a story about voting machines being rigged after receiving one (1) letter from a psychotic person about it, ecen after she called to say (Jake paraphrase) "Hey, I don't think I was thinking straight when I sent that" and it led to a lawsuit so large they fired a talk show host.
