Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
John, are you prepared to have your wife 5150'd? Cuz if she mentions suicide in front of the counselor (an MFT?), as a Mandated Reporter they're obliged to commit her. Based on your recent description of how the situation has deteriorated, that may be the best outcome at this point. She's become inured to your entreaties, so outside professional intervention might be what it takes.
If possible, prior to the couple's session, you might want to talk just yourself with the counselor about your wife's suicidal ideation. In any case, make it the immediate & primary focus of the session, expressing it as your deep concern for her safety -- essentially ambushing your wife, sorry, don't tell her in advance you wish to focus on that. (NB: remember to address everything you say to your wife while looking at her -- even when it's for the benefit of the counselor.)
Long-term, it sounds like anti-depressants might be of great value for your wife. But as Screwtape, Lsuoma and others have mentioned, SSRIs can initially increase the likelihood of a suicide attempt. So, it might be better were she under professional supervision.
Sorry, man, this sucks beyond belief. But all your efforts so far have not panned out, so another course of action is probably required.

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
I believe that is primarily a risk when starting the meds, since it may give the motivation, otherwise suppressed, to actually get up your arse and top yourself.Matt Cavanaugh wrote: ↑

I never had it. Except when I'm standing at the edge of a huge drop. Then, there is, and has always been, a voice calling me to jump.
And if you put a four-inch plank on the ground, I'll quite happily skip along it with no concern. When it's up in the air, well...

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
It won't happen if BoJo accepts Farrage's offer and The Brexit Party and Torys get out of each others way. The remainer MPs may have underestimated the extent to which they, and the media, have lifted the veil on the establishment's sense of entitlement to impose their own vision on the country and to feather their own nests. Britain is a nation, with an indigenous population, not a laboratory for the privileged to conduct social experiments. There is a definite whiff the of hatred of the white working class, as described by Orwell, amongst the intelligentsia. I get the impression that the media's one-sided scramble to crush Brexit and "populism" has been noted and Labour will be decimated in an election. The remainers still do not seem to have understood that Brexit is not primarily about economics. It is more about maintaining a sense of Britishness, something people rightly sense is disappearing fast. Brexit is only the first step.Matt Cavanaugh wrote: ↑Fri Sep 06, 2019 9:17 amBritain’s biggest danger isn’t Brexit, it’s a Jeremy Corbyn win

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
John:
There is a standard screening test for clinical depression that is pretty much universally used. It only takes a few minutes to take and the score tells you instantly and confidentially if you are a candidate for seeking treatment:
https://depression.org.nz/is-it-depress ... sion-test/
Don't let know nothing assholes like Paul Joseph Watson and Marianne Williamson convince you that CD isn't a real thing and that those suffering from it are just experiencing normal sadness and they need to get spiritual, pull themselves up by the bootstraps or other bullshit that people that don't have a clue about what they are talking about say. And I wouldn't worry about your wife getting hopped up on SSRIs and shooting you. Screwtape has explained the suicide risk well. Not getting medicated is even more dangerous than the early risks.
I can tell you that SSRIs have been a lifesaver for me and allowed me to live a high quality of life.
I would caution you about therapists and people that offer counselling that aren't properly trained MDs or psychologists. A lot of places allow people that have no certification to hang out a shingle and call themselves therapists. They are frequently totally incompetent at discerning the difference between what is an organic mental illness or what is unhealthy behavior and are useless or worse.
Maybe CD isn't causing your wife's problem, you need a professional to evaluate that, but just from your description of her behavior it may well worth to be looking into.

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
Good points. Ideally, your counselor would be a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) who practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Most of the other 'modalities' are pretty much worthless. And this isn't even really a marriage counseling thing -- your wife is clinically depressed and needs professional intervention (and happy pills). If your counselor just sends you home with some worksheet for both of you to fill in, fire them and find another.free thoughtpolice wrote: ↑ John:

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
more Fashion Week. Today was small scale: I picked-up a rack of 20-or-so outfits from the designer's apartment. She has a high-powered day job in the cosmetics industry & these clothes are a passion project she does on the side. I delivered the clothes to a fancy hotel suite-- where a bunch of hair & make-up & jewelry & nailpolish people showed-up... and over a dozen models. And a film crew to document the looks, one to document the backstage bustle, and a video crew. Crowded. It rained, so I built a plastic-tarp-canopy on the big balcony-- to shoot windy outdoor 'look book' pics, against the rainy skyline. Then everybody traversed 300 feet in the rain to a speakeasy-themed bar/restaurant, to be seen by invitees. The models had a uniform haughty look... they looked great as a group. More like glamorous actresses/ than tall-alienbug runway models. The clothes were more-like very-well-constructed real clothes, than alien runway monstrosities.

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
I dated a model for a while. She used to carry a Baggie of styrofoam pellets in her purse which she would consume before ordering a meal in a restaurant. She was fucking hot, though.
I think Dr Hooks song, “When you’re in Love Witha Beautiful Woman” was written about us. I was afraid to go to the can in a restaurant, because I’d come back and there would be 4 guys hitting on her. Exhausting it was. I miss her though, she gave great headache.

Want to know what our Best Girl Laurie Penny is up to?
https://www.wired.com/story/videogames- ... fragility/
A piece of her word-vomit: "The family’s wishes have been ignored; the backlash against Quinn and others has been relentless. According to the logic of an army of concern-trolls, Quinn has blood on their hands. They should have taken Holowka’s fragility into account before “ruining his life.” They are worse than a murderer. Quinn deleted their Twitter account after a barrage of harassment and threats, many of them from people who consider Quinn’s chief crime “inciting harassment.”
The scale of hypocrisy here is so staggering it's almost impressive. People, often young women, who dare to speak up can expect to face public harassment and private retribution. Young women can expect to be punished for the crimes men commit against them—but if they dare to speak up, they are the ones who are “ruining lives.”
The response to the death of Alec Holowka throws this double standard into razor-sharp relief. The harassment of Quinn and others has nothing to do with concern for Holowka and his family and everything to do with making examples of women and queer people who dare to speak out. The message is clear: Men’s mental health matters more than women’s. Men’s suffering and self-loathing is treated as a public concern, because men are permitted to be real people whose inner lives and dreams matter. Who cares, then, how many women they destroy along the way?"
She's just as disgusting as ever. Given all the leftwing 'woke' publications that are going broke these days, however, I wonder just how big a platform "Wired" is anymore.

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
I should also mention that Kiwifarms occasionally has good and useful people.
Far as I know they are the only place (that I've seen) that has Alec's obituary linked to.
Plus one of them did a deep dive (using advanced Twitter Search techniques) and found and posted screenshots (most of which taken down as they have been passed to the Canadian police - though in my opinion the odds of anything happening legally are de minimus)from the March and April 2012 timeframe in which Zoe was with Alek and the abuse allegedly happened. Lots of tweets, including days with well over a dozen. No HINT of abuse. Lots of joking. She draws a cute pic of Alek's face. Plus , at least part of the time during that frame someone was at the house with them. This is almost certainly a total nothingburger EVEN IF you didn't know Zoe's background.

He is a real hypocritical fuckwad whose balls could never be kicked enough given how much of a festering cancerous sore he is on the intellectual asshole of humanity. And on top of that he fails to recognize his real blessings- whatever you think of them, he has a family who seems to love him. I will make my only kind wish for PZ (and given what he's done and who he's helped destroy he doesn't really deserve it) - I hope he wises up and gets off the internet or sticks to strictly biology. His politics is poison and its obvious it poisoned him long ago. He needs to get his head and heart in the right place or I suspect his future will be long lingering misery.Hunt wrote: ↑ Pz is in high dudgeon over a charlatan working under aegis of Michael Shermer, that he ultimately exposed:

It's been a while since I updated my website, and I forgot you have to enable comments on all pages individually. Blog posts have comments open by default, but not pages. Strange software.

Hmm, I'm considering Slow Chocolate Autopsy.
Has anyone else had any experience with it?

Myers is gloating over the problems caused by the Epstein connection at the MIT Media Lab, which he projects onto all of MIT. Anyone who knows what a loser Myers is knows that the Epstein thread is just a vehicle for his real agenda: to belittle any individual or institution with a reputation for success and competence, in order to, by comparison, to elevate his own void-of-any-accomplishment career. It doesn't work.
If only Joi Ito was a white man, Myers could have added a healthy mix of intersectional pandering into his gloating.

That is a remarkably good point, for which I cannot dream up any adequate answer.

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
I certainly agree with this. But the problem is, to a reasonable degree of approximation, the percentage of people whose primary source of climate change information is scientific papers is 0. Rather, almost everyone gets the majority of their information from the major media unskeptically signal boosting press releases from climate change activist organizations,whose claims are falsely presented as science-based. So that's what organizations opposing them have to focus their fire on. Personally, from reading and watching quite a bit of their stuff, I think the likes of Cato, Heritage, and Heartland do a reasonably good job of differentiating when they're debunking an activist claim from when they're critiquing the conclusion of a published scientific paper. I certainly won't vouch for every headline they publish or everyone they invite to speak at their events, but on the whole I think they do fine. My preference would be they always soberly stick to science-based defenses of their position, but they have an understandable desire to be effective as well as accurate, and sometimes that means not playing entirely by Marquis De Queensbury rules.ThreeFlangedJavis wrote: ↑ Whatever climate change activists claim has absolutely nothing to do with the science...
FTFY. I want to be clear I'm not intending to engage in what-aboutism, but trying to point out what I think is a double-standard. Why is distorting science and other tactics by climate change activists (which you readily agree is occurring) immune from excoriation?ThreeFlangedJavis wrote: ↑ The science is what matters and that is what thethink tanksclimate change activists areattackingundermining by employing conspiracy theories, conflation of green activism with science, appeals tolibertarianisminternational socialism, personal attacks on [dissenting] scientists and attacks on the entire field ofclimatologyeconomics itself. Anyone whoattacksexploits research papers by cherry picking subsets of it and neglecting to mention the main body of it, thereby utterly distorting it, is not engaged in any kind of objective activity.

A few of the women are quite nice. The men are sure to please if that's your bag of tea.
Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
Eh, this is true, but I think the media manipulations. The Amazon rainforest fires are a recent example. As far as I've been able to piece together, while the fires are slightly worse this year than in previous years, this seems to have been a deliberate ploy by Macron to harm Brazil as strategy for the trade negotiations currently going on between the EU and South America. Overall, however, deforestation in the Amazon is down from the past and has even recently flipped to slight reforestation.jugheadnaut wrote: ↑]Rather, almost everyone gets the majority of their information from the major media unskeptically signal boosting press releases from climate change activist organizations,whose claims are falsely presented as science-based.
It's also noticeable that there's a large Malthusian element to the climate change argument, but when mass shooters say that this is a major part of their manifestos, that gets papered over and ignored and you'll be arrested or shut down if you try to read it for your self.
