Monsters Among Us in Psychology ·

Yeah, you've got the whole thing figured out perfectly.😍


Right!? 🤣

Zachary Mendoza2 said:Excellently put; that is precisely the point. A convicted rapist grants that "license" by violating an innocent person. The state acknowledges this by stripping away his own right to protection from sexual assault—he effectively renounced that right through his crime.
If you can make money doing that, then become a professional rapist. Many innocent victims lack the capacity, or simply refuse, to soil their hands and consciences by taking justice into their own hands against their abusers. But that is why professional rapists exist—individuals who read the tabloids and are willing to make a living delivering justice. You offer the victim, or any interested party, a service of retribution for a set fee. Of course, you could face legal consequences, but if you have negotiated and executed the violation of those human rights which the individual no longer possesses (as they forfeited them and the court affirmed it), then you would be granted amnesty.
So, become a professional rapist if you wish. Just ensure you don't target the innocent.

Mods, apologies for the off-topic post. 🙂


I don't really have the stomach for it since rapists are almost always men, and I have zero intention of raping women anyway. 😁
I'm not quite sure how that would actually work in practice, but I think you needed to flesh out the logic a bit more because the idea of a professional vigilante raping a rapist is... kind of weird. 😉

I know you're lying, but it is pleasant to listen to you. 🙂

By the way, since we are discussing Hammurabi's Code, I will use my off-topic credits to ramble about my own utopia:
For certain crimes, I would publish the verdict in national newspapers and strip the convict of the right to human rights protections, which they violated through their crime. This means if someone is convicted of rape, that becomes public record. If someone is then raped, they will be tried for it, but an amnesty would be applied during sentencing—because the assault was committed against a person who forfeited their right to protection by committing an act that violates the legal protections of others.

So, who ends up being the predator in that scenario? A professional assailant? Can I apply for that job? Where do I go to get my License to fuck?

Where are all the comments like this:
"I'd roast him on a spit, pluck his nails out one by one, peel his skin off slowly and salt the meat, cut out his tongue, burn his legs alive and let dogs eat them while he's still conscious, then gouge out his eyes and slice off his fingers"

Right, I forgot this isn't BuzzFeed☕

The guy is just a complete moron—zero intellect, zero empathy, zero emotion, nothing for any other living thing. He’s just like those kids in NYC a few years back who used to grill newborn kittens alive. Honestly, what is there even to say about something like that!?
How did they used to say it—bread and circuses! If people back in the day could systematically enjoy gladiator matches and watch humans slaughter each other, why shouldn't we do the same to animals today, especially since it isn't as strictly punished under the Animal Welfare Act anymore? Humans are primitive, pathetic creatures driven by darker impulses than any animal; instead of using their brains to evolve, they use them as tools to invent the most depraved bullshit imaginable.
You ask how he became this way!? It's genetic. There's no saving him. If kicking or grilling little kittens is someone's idea of fun or a way to satisfy some internal void, I don't think there's much left to discuss or conclude.

Harold Anderson3 said:Well, maybe not everyone, but certainly some people do.

It’s a stretch to claim stress triggers schizophrenia. There’s zero evidence for that out there. Even today, doctors can't pinpoint the exact cause, but they know it’s mostly a hereditary condition.
Stress usually leads to nervous breakdowns, depression, or anxiety, not full-blown psychosis.
Does your brain have a gender? in Psychology & Therapy ·
Your Brain is 67 % Female

Your brain leans female
You lead with your heart rather than just cold logic
You're naturally kind and compassionate, always looking to give
But don't get it twisted—you've got enough grit to make sure nobody walks all over you!

I’m more of a woman than any of you people on this board, regardless of my gender☕
How do I forgive myself? in Psychology ·
So, because some idiot messed with you back in high school, you’ve just decided to stop living your life entirely? If there’s anything worth forgiving, it’s the fact that you’re currently sabotaging your own future over something that happened years ago.
Just turn the page and move on, because high school—and honestly, anything from that era—doesn't hold a damn bit of weight in your life anymore.
Look, I get that you're sensitive, but you're eventually going to have to grow out of that. Just get out of the house and stop giving a damn about who sees you or what they think.
Have some self-respect. The world isn't perfect and not everyone is a decent person, but that shouldn't be an excuse to throw your life away because of some bully who fed off your instability in high school. There are people who went through much worse during their teen years and came out stronger for it. Try looking at it from that perspective.

fadedbear92 said:I actually worked through that exact issue via psychotherapy—it was a long road, and honestly, pretty painful at times.

Are you seriously such a massive advocate for the idea that people are so helpless and clueless that they have to rely on pills and therapy just to handle every little thing that happens to them in life?

Paul Morales3 said:I'm with you on all counts. Reaching that point of peace is damn near impossible when you're still stuck in the thick of regret, grief, and pure, unadulterated fury. Once you actually face those feelings head-on, that's when the gears start turning and you can finally move past that standstill.🙂

I forgot to mention one thing earlier. I think there's real value in making sure the person who crossed the line knows exactly what they did.
Tell them how much it sucked and lay out everything that matters to you. It won't change the facts of what happened, but it might provide some relief for your own sake.
And who knows? Maybe it'll actually hit them that they acted like a jerk and they'll feel some genuine remorse. Not that we need them begging for forgiveness—we don't owe them anything—but it's about them finally seeing themselves clearly for who they really were.

Well, that part isn't in my story. I don't even get the chance to tell that piece of trash what they did to me. I honestly don't think anger would be such a nasty, draining thing if it wasn't directed at someone we actually cared about. That's the whole issue right there. It's easy to brush off people who don't matter, but it's the people close to us who can truly wreck us.

Jason Booth25 said:Forgiveness is incredibly difficult—at least, that’s been my experience. There is absolutely no logic in holding onto resentment or letting anger consume you, yet we do it anyway, ultimately only hurting ourselves. We cling to our fury because we feel entitled to it; we tell ourselves that if we let go of this rage, we’ll lose our sense of identity. It becomes part of who we are. We view this anger as a form of justice, as if letting go would somehow mean we're condoning what happened to us. But that's just an illusion. In reality, we're just self-destructing under the weight of our own perceived "right" to be angry. Of course, you have every right to feel angry, and you need to allow yourself that space to process it initially. But if you don't eventually let it go, that anger curdles into hatred and starts to eat you alive from the inside. If we find ourselves unable to forgive someone who caused us harm, perhaps the better path is to accept what happened, forgive ourselves for not being able to handle the situation any differently, and finally leave the past where it belongs. It is a heavy, complicated process.

You make a good point, but yeah... it's a hell of a process.

I’d honestly love to know HOW, because I’m struggling with the exact same thing.
I want to be able to just forgive and move on, but clearly, neither of those things is happening for me.

Jamie Martinez6 said:So, here’s the deal on what happened to me...
Not sure if anyone even cares, but I ended up meeting this girl who's basically been trapped by her parents for years. She's completely lost it—just totally broken. They treat her like she's some kind of criminal, keeping her locked away, and they're constantly telling her the devil is coming for her soul. It's dark.
It all started when she was sixteen; apparently, she was having full-blown hallucinations right in the middle of class. Pure hell. Talking to her, you can just tell her mind is completely fractured, but because the family wants to keep their reputation clean, nobody does a damn thing.
The problem is, she's an adult now, almost twenty. I don't even know if Child Protective Services would lift a finger at this point, which is terrifying.
What am I supposed to do? Her mom is a doctor, for God's sake, yet she's doing nothing but locking her daughter in the house so the neighbors won't see.
😢Unbelievable.

It's obvious her parents are just cruel, uneducated savages.
Why does everyone think they're so great? in Psychology & Therapy ·
Alright, fine, I’ll admit it: I messed up. 🙄

Lisa Hernandez3 said:Look, I’m not really making an assumption here—I know I can be difficult sometimes.
From what you're describing, people would just call that being hypocritical, dishonest, or two-faced—whatever term fits best.

How can you even sit there and insult me like that?

Donna Wood52 said:Everyone loves to claim, "Oh, I'm a good person, I would never do that, I'd never touch this." It’s a constant refrain—everyone's a saint in their own eyes. So, if that's the case,
where exactly 🤷
are all these "bad people" everyone keeps talking about hiding?

I can't speak for everyone else, but I know for a fact I'm the best 😁
Why is there such a "God complex" among doctors? in Psychology ·
It’s honestly pathetic how your average hypochondriac usually ends up knowing more about medicine than actual doctors, often diagnosing themselves before a professional can even step into the room.
Most of these physicians are just straight-up nerds who don't actually grasp the fundamentals, which is a tragedy. Being a doctor is arguably the most responsible job out there, yet it usually boils down to people being nothing more than arrogant pretenders.
It reminds me of that news story from yesterday where a woman was complaining about abdominal pain, only for them to dismiss her as a liar—then they actually left a surgical tool inside her and tried to cover the whole thing up once it came to light.
In my opinion, people like that have no business holding a medical degree.
The issue isn't just the fact that they left an instrument inside her; the real problem is their dismissive reaction to her pain and their complete lack of initiative to even order an X-ray, followed by that blatant attempt at a cover-up. People with that mindset simply CANNOT be doctors.

slyskipper21 said:I'm just glad someone finally has the guts to speak my mind...😉

Look, give me a break. It’s all just part of some cheap, manufactured script designed to squeeze every last drop of sympathy out of us. Honestly, the whole pathetic display makes me sick.

Yeah, because Simon Cowell is such a saint when it comes to "empathy." 🤮

slyskipper21 said:Did she actually earn this thread through any real talent, or did she just stumble into the spotlight of some reality show designed to sell cheap sentimentality to people staring at their screens, praying for miracles that aren't coming anymore?

It’s all just clever marketing—a polished PR campaign wrapped in a beautiful story meant to tug at heartstrings... and people, well, they just want to believe in fairy tales. It feels like she somehow got swept up in this whole "circus" without even meaning to.

But what's really going on beneath that perfectly packaged exterior?
The fact that Suzanne has been hospitalized for depression several times already
just goes to show she lacks the grit required to handle this unearned
fame.


Honestly, there's about 90% truth in what was written here, and it pretty much aligns with my own take. 👍

William Gonzalez said:They're this group playing rock and metal mixed with traditional Middle Eastern folk lyrics, throwing in some irony and a bit of punk for good measure. It’s a whole mix, honestly, I actually dug it. 🙂


That's just the typical Middle Eastern mess that I have zero interest in listening to.

You could probably just throw in a few more fancy adjectives—judging by your posts, that shouldn't be too much of a stretch for you... maybe then one day you'll actually be able to afford a Bugatti.😁

Honestly, if everyone actually charged people for their nonsense fueled by deep-seated insecurities, we'd all be filthy rich.
