TherapyGary

This is a great question!

When I was like 17, I was driving (the speed limit, no music playing) through my friend's neighborhood when I passed a woman out grabbing her mail. I gave a little wave and smiled, and she looked at me like I had just punted a fucking infant.

I felt so offended, and I've never forgotten that look on her face- I would love to know what her perspective on this is/was.

I prefer ass to ass therapy, personally

No one's actually saying abolish prisons

Me:

While trauma can be a life sentence in a way, that doesn't mean it isn't treatable. I'll always have a brain formed/rewired by trauma but, through therapy, it no longer impairs my life enough to qualify as a "disorder"

In short, community based restorative justice and support services. I.e., repairing harm through dialogue between victims, offenders, and community members, while addressing root causes like poverty, mental health issues, and substance abuse.

Ultimately, the goal is to create a society where crime is less likely to occur. This requires a shift towards preventive measures that promote social equity and community engagement. Abolishing prisons, for me at least, is one part of a larger movement that values dignity and promotes healing rather than perpetuating cycles of harm

Are you one of today's lucky 10,000 in learning what /s means?

Disagreeing with your perspective is easy because it’s utterly misguided. Lemmy is a paragon of inclusivity, welcoming all opinions as long as they adhere to basic decency. The platform thrives on a diverse range of ideologies, from anti-capitalist to anarchist, fostering a rich tapestry of debate and discussion. If you find it unwelcoming, maybe it’s because you can't handle being called out for having incorrect views. ^(/s)

I've never even gotten to experience what everyone talks about regarding hexbear bc my instance is defederated from them. I guess it's a good thing though lol

Gàstu scrito quéło in venesian parché chi che no parla ła lengua no lo pol tradur? Because I had a bitch of a time lol.

You make a good point!

I'm the one who's penetrating them (they can deal with 5 men).

Are you... 5 men in a trench coat?

A rundstück warm I got at a bazaar in Germany was one of my favorite things I've ever eaten, but I wouldn't call it a type of burger, nor the meat inside a patty
