Ikr? To be clear, my response to them was sarcasm

I haven’t even mentioned my discount for Lemmy users tho

It’s currently in use as my cover photo on my Psychology Today profile, at the top of my website, in the header of my consent documents, and on a few flyers I printed out at home

On the flyers, and in dark-mode on my website, it looks like this

the first i should be in regular pride flag as second one is misspelled and should be highlighted

Ooo I think agree, that’s a good idea

Side note. Different therapy in my view is “Conversion Therapy” and I don’t think that is your point.

Oh shit, yeah that’s like the opposite of what I want to convey 😅 My website, profiles, and flyers contain descriptors to clarify that at least

Hell yeah, thanks ☺

Would you mind sharing why it’s not easily readable to you? Is it the horizontal lines? The spelling? It is spelled that way on purpose though btw

Edit: To answer your question, the point of the logo is to represent my practice as being different, queer, and anarchist

Lol, yes, it’s spelled differently on purpose

Shit I should’ve named my practice “Off-Center”

As a vegan, this is actually why I quit using cocaine lol

Ew

Is that @deceptichum@quokk.au?

Why would you just go and say that?

OP If you like the ‘conservative’ style then go for it. ‘Conservative’ does not mean you have to hate immigrants. Infact hating immigrants is related to anxiety and anxiety is related to mental disorders. Be a leader not a follower…

You should be who YOU are, Not what others say you should be. I do nt know where you got the hating immigrants idea from but not every ‘conservative’ hates immigrants and those that do? Need help to stop. It is not something they do to be cool or fit in…

Be yourself and stop worring what people think about you

I have 11 hours worth of documentation due by tomorrow morning to keep an important contract, and yet here I am looking at shitposts

As someone who has experienced psychotic episodes in the past, this “prank” would really fuck me up in a really unfunny way.

We don’t know much about the gf, but we know that she supposedly had a panic attack over it, and that’s not funny.

I’d find it funny only if I was told within a couple minutes (before having a panic attack, contacting my psychiatrist, and making arrangements for a potential inpatient stay), and I would absolutely dump a partner who’d refuse to apologize for this.

You honestly wouldn’t apologize to your partner after your ‘prank’ gave them a panic attack?

Yeah but this can also be used on annoying spouses

I intentionally contract a high-grade fever just so I can enjoy Conner O’Malley videos with that extra oomph.

*ethnocentric is a better term actually, after more thinking

Yeah, when I use the term “American” to refer to US Americans, I’m being ethnocentric. If I were to be corrected and then -instead of accepting the correction- double down and argue, that would certainly seem like I had a problem with being an equal to Latin Americans

Seems to me you’re the one policing others’ language, ultimately suggesting Latin Americans aren’t Americans.

For “Americans” to refer to only “US Americans” (and make sense), the term necessarily must exclude Latin Americans

Note: Another user pointed out, I should’ve said ethnocentric rather than racist

You’re right, I should’ve said xenophobic

I said that’s how it comes across. I’ve said things in the past that came across as racist/xenophobic/ethnocentric, and I appreciate it when people point it out so I can adjust.

This just seems like one of those thing where if explaining and defending your position sounds racist/xenophobic/ethnocentric, you should consider changing your position or taking it less seriously

If you’re unwilling to consider that- yeah, it might be best not to engage further

I typically just say “American” too but I don’t do all this when I get corrected. It comes across like you’re trying to justify being racist ethnocentric.

It is weird to hear someone say “country of America” though when you could just say “the US(A)”

Edit: corrected language
