What are your preferred US artists first so I can try to triangulate.

The genre essentially replaced pop music in the German speaking area so theres 1000 subgenres.

Just give me some artists you like.

i dont see japanese moms paying good money to see the musical version of queen victoria slowly succumbing

the only people caring about her nowadays are neckbeards with leather goggles

fanbases prove the historical victor here

[Snow]

Sure Sisi was goth af and only outgothed by her son but she lived the actual millennial instagram model life complete with crippling body image issues and I'm sure Queen Vicky had a much more fulfilling sexlife.

Hungarian has a memehard language rep down our way.

i dont know anything about the grammar of finno-urgic languages beyond what gaia sometimes tells me, all i know is that if i try to spell some hungarian town name its literally impossible to get it right the first time

That and she plunged into deep mourning and secluded herself from public appearances and wore black for the rest of her life.

i love these guys rn they go super hard, their live perfomances look insane and theyre here in march

lyrics are all about being an incredibly drunk lower class person with no respect for anything and they have a member who raps in polish which is a Very Good Rap Language

Buster how do you rate Dreamcatcher's rapper I mean I know she's great but

those clubby instrumentals with the quick delivery make me think of that asap rocky skrillex track

i cant give you an equivalent contemporary german until their producer takes a trip to jamaica and steals all their music

[Snow]

It's actually the cover of a BigBang song


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ips2mM7Zqw

Which they made changes to in the lyrics and rap, notably the rapper wrote her own part. A powermove on several levels since DC's tiny ass label is in the middle of a lawsuit against BigBang's hugeass label because of principle and they're probably gonna get destroyed by the bigger label's army of lawyers, yet they not only absolutely conquer one of BB's greatest hits but also change the sexist original lyrics.

[I3uster]

lol getting murdered on your own beat

there used to be an austrian group that got really famous doing this to some salzburg gangsta wannabes, just took their beat, remixed it with a better bassline and then made their diss track on it

My favorite Japanese restaurant just brought back ramen bowls after like 3-4 years of having them taken off the menu. I ate two full ones.

the reason I’m telling you this is so that I could tell you that I briefly debated ordering a third by saying “I want to order another one, dattebayo!” Just to see if the guy got it

[SpoonyViking]

How big are those bowls?

[Zurvan]

As big as your dreams

[Tobias]

How big are those bowls?

Really fucking big.

traditionally it’s an effort to eat one, but I came in after exercising.

also, it occurs to me my previous post could use a bit more explanation. I was not talked to an old Japanese sushi chef or anything, I was actually talking to a supremely white dudebro who talks in a distinctly northern twang.

however it’s been my experience that bartenders and bouncers are often huge internet nerds so I figured he had a decent shot at making the reference.

[Deathhappens]

Naruto is like the Dragonball of this generation,so I'd give good odds even if he wasn't a nerd.

- - - Updated - - -

Also, can confirm: Bouncers are often HUGE nerds.

[Tobias]

Tales from the unit:

One of the unit screamers put in a request for some belongings of hers. Specifically, she wanted the contents of her third purse.

Specifically, she wanted her placenta out of it for reasons she did not care to share.

she was quite frustrated to learn she had not in fact, brought any purses with her and again requested she be provided with her placenta

[Gl❀w]

is it really necessary to keep providing the struggles of those with a tenuous grasp on reality for the presumed entertainment of the masses

[Five_X]

do you have an hr department I can get in contact with

[Tobias]

is it really necessary to keep providing the struggles of those with a tenuous grasp on reality for the presumed entertainment of the masses

I suppose not? Thought it was just some amusing stories but if it offends you I could stop.

[Gl❀w]

As someone currently on the other end of a therapeutic relationship, I would be devastated to learn that my mental health professional was sharing my experiences, quirks, and declarations as “crazy antics” on the internet.

I do not think those that you work with are less deserving of dignity than I simply because they are less functionally capable in polite society.

[Tobias]

Well I have been on both sides too. And TBH having been on this side, insidering how horrifyingly stressful the job is, let alone the soul crushing empathy fatigue and almost automatic dehumanizing effect, if my therapist told me he engaged in a bit of self care and decompressing by sharing my stories at a bar or whatever, provided he kept my name out of it I wouldn’t mind in the slightest.

It’s a bit in the eye of the beholder, and I’m being entirely honest when I say I don’t mean to offend anyone.

however I’m sharing maybe more then I’m comfortable with, but going to anyway when I say that trying to laugh is my coping skill and this job has at least one point driven me to becoming suicidal. It’s hard. It’s really hard. Trying to find a moment of levity on hard days keeps me going.

[Five_X]

That's fair and I completely get that it must be incredible pressure on you at work, but as someone once said, every therapist has a therapist. I don't think RT, much as it can be worth a laugh, is the best place for that.

[I3uster]

this is literally every health professional sorry guys

if you ever been in a ward youll see that theres exactly two types of people, dead fish eyes or people that seem way too comfortable considering where they are

theres also wide eyed youngsters but thats just a larval stage

for what its worth you will never be able to be pinned down as anybody specific which is what patient anonymity actually is, its not the complete silence about anything that ever happened or mutual teaching in that sector would be completely impossible

[Tobias]

That's fair and I completely get that it must be incredible pressure on you at work, but as someone once said, every therapist has a therapist. I don't think RT, much as it can be worth a laugh, is the best place for that.

I already said I would leave off. I meant that. I just also felt like it might be worth an actual explanation beyond “that asshole Tobias is being an asshole.” Joking about it helps me keep perspective, but I’m not gonna make other people uncomfortable just to let off steam, so again, I’ll let it alone.

[Five_X]

All's good Tobi, just giving my perspective. I hope that you're able to deal with the stress nonetheless, and also that future jobstuff is easier on you.

[Tobias]

It doesn’t get better. You hope to learn to cope easier of course, but it doesn’t get better.

want a real tale from the unit?

wasnt that long ago we had one of our PRNs who was just sitting there shaking after another horrifying discharge. She was just looking at me wide eyed saying that she didn’t think that this little girl was really safe seeing as how she was still hallucinating.

i wanted to just take her (the other therapist) and give her a hug but I had to harden myself up and tell her to just get used to that rock hard lump of anxiety in her stomach because we have at least one of those a week, so the sooner she learns to just keep working through the fear the easier it gets

she is still working on that. Hell, I am too, even if I talk big.

[Five_X]

See I just have to deal with occasionally cracking my head over economics and how to perfect a paper then failing to. I couldn't do that kind of thing, and I respect that you manage it, as best as you can. That's rough beyond what I know.

[Historia]

Tobias you can just PM me patient stories, if it helps you to vent.

But this doesn't mean I'm your friend, buddy. :sumanai:

But I do see where Glow is coming from. After all, I tend to keep my crazy beliefs to myself because I don't want them aired out in public. (Though discussing them with like-minded peeps is enjoyable. )

What's a good response to "You know, originally I came here to punch you"?

Cuz I went with "Good to know thanks" and I can't help but feel I wasted an opportunity

[Tobias]

I have heard that several times.

i recommend “hey, I’m glad you didn’t. If you ever feel that way again, give me a chance to try and talk things out.”

[Zurvan]

"do it to me daddy" ought to have an effect

[I3uster]

do you want that particular effect

I'm honestly perplexed why people come to you saying that they wanted to punch you
is that supposed to be threatening or?

Did you also troll Kenta-Chan into thinking verg suddenly started kicking his ass at unlimited codes???

[I3uster]

Do you still have contact with kenta btw

[Tobias]

Nope. ‘Fraid not

not that long before he left he talked about getting serious about wresting. I like to think that’s going well for him though.

[I3uster]

Damn. Well he once random joined regalia just to say hi. Maybe he'll do it again.

[Tobias]

The unlimited codes thing was hilarious though. Verg was getting mad because he was trying to do combos and learn the character, while Kenta was just spamming sweeps and easily winning.

but japan arcades have these large boxes so you can’t really see your opponent during the match. As one was starting I tapped verg on the shoulder and swapped him out. I’m not some UC master but I do have the portable version so I knew the basics. I stomped Kenta for a few matches until I heard him go “wait, what the hell...?”

when he craned his his head around to see what was going on I just gave him the biggest open mouthed troll grin I could muster.

it was great. Dunno if I ever told that story.

Meeting BLers

Why does no-one want to visit sunny Australia?

It’s australia

the place that’s pretty much the real life version of those side scrolling 90’s era PC games where even books are flying murder machines

just going outside is scarier then taking saber’s last scone

[I3uster]

There are Australian BLers, you just gotta find a good reason for everyone to come together. Would recommend a con. But it needs someone to take charge and ask people.

The size of that thing might make that a bit inconvenient tho idk how you get around your country and if cross-country flights are affordable.

Just between me and you, I think the main reason he showed up (having made quite the trip, at that) was that there was a girl in the group, but the idea of someone crossing an entire lots-square-km city just to punch me in the face is strangely flattering. But yeah, that's what he said.

7 it was.

Actually, I'm telling a lie - it's not all of them, because I didn't find 7 interesting enough to download or rewatch. I only remember laughing a few times during it. And none of the minis, just because I couldn't keep track of all a' them, though some were good.

So my earphones broke last Friday, so I ordered a new pair along with something else for my mother. Apparently the UPS worker didn't knock on my door hard enough because I never heard them, and when I checked to see if the packages arrived, they left a "missed you" note. So I thought, "It's cool, I'll just go the local UPS and get it later. I get a friend to take me there around 6:30 PM, and when I had them scan the note to find out about the packages, they said that the driver wouldn't be back until near 8:00 PM and they close at 8. I wasn't happy and my friend didn't want to drive back there again, so now I have to wait until Monday for the packages to delivered again. I know they're just doing their job, but couldn't they have just left them there like all the other times they delivered to my house?

How many times will they try and fail that experiment again

You want to make more idols, make more idols, but don't go around calling them a esports team, for the simple reason that an e-sports team that restricts its recruiting to one gender is inevitably going to flounder. Again.

Pretty sure they're not supposed to leave the package anywhere unless you accept it personally.

you thinking they fail the 'experiment' while temp groups are making mad bank in Asia and are thriving more than ever, virtual kidols are trending all over the net, and basically no one needs any money or attention from the west because they are catering to their primary market anyway: the asian one

if they fail it happens because the idol market is saturated and they don't luck out, not because the concept itself doesn't hold water

snow, i like this korean pop music

Yeah, absolutely hate it when groups confine themselves to one gender, it never works out

This isn’t a tale from the unit, it’s just scaring me

Just got clawed up by a girl who has repeatedly refused labs. I have taken my arm to the elbow in anti-biotic wash

reeeeeeeally kinda hoping she doesn’t have HIV or hepatitis.

or anything really *sweatdrop*

quick question does this include the esports teams that are all men

dunno how soon you can get tested for this kind of thing but i hope it's in the near future

[Tobias]

72 hours for some, runs out to about 4 weeks for the rest of it.

TBF most of the scariest stuff falls into that 72 hour bracket. this actually isnt the first time this kind thing has happened, but it’s one of those “never really gets less scary” kinda deals. I’ll get a round of blood drawn next time I’m off.

welp

[Spinach]

Tobias, I often wonder why you went into this field, and I don't wonder it with the intent to offend, but out genuine curiosity and occasional bouts of concern.

[Snow]

Damn man, I hope they all turn out negative.

[Tobias]

It was just kind of something I knew I had to do.

most therapist will tell you the same unless they choose to turn the question back on you.

If if nothing else, it’s not boring.

[Gl❀w]

The answer to that question, and similarly with social workers/ social service workers, is often very personal in nature and involves some kind of journey or another towards that particular path.

of course, as with any field you have the people who just decided it was a thing that interested them

but more commonly I find that many of them have some kind of Story about how they got into it

Can't reverse it on me if I'm not in a field BAM

[Tobias]

Tell me how you really field

It was on a dark and stormy night that I realized my only Talent is acting self-important, so I became an architect.

My only talent was 16,500 bucks

The decision not to choose a pokéball is itself a choice

[Tobias]

I have played Pokémon gold


If you don’t get a pokeball you end up getting all three later anyway, it’s the best choice

[Five_X]

I'm gonna make an app that changes the world, I swear, I just need a small loan of half a million dollars and a fridge of energy drinks

[Zurvan]

well I got one of those

how are you with sharing

[Five_X]

I'll make the call to Maytag, then.

[Gl❀w]

You’re making a mistake by asking for a loan

you should be asking for a donation

[Five_X]

I know I love Rome but I ain't the Pope

[Tobias]

You’re making a mistake by asking for a loan

A donation sounds like a country that really loves bread

[SpoonyViking]

Geez, good luck with the tests, Tobias!

I don't mean to sound insensitive or ignorant, but shouldn't patients who present a risk to others (and maybe also themselves) be restrained in some way?

[Tobias]

Hell no. The absolute best you can do as far as seclusion goes is you can put them in the quiet room for 4 hours. Then you have to take them out and let them attack someone before they can be put back in.

there is always booty juice but the problem with Thorazine is the body builds up a tolerance. Someone who has been in and out of hospitals for twenty years and has a good history of inter muscular medications usually learns to shake it off pretty well

[SpoonyViking]

Huh. So straitjackets and things like that are no good?

[Tobias]

That stuff went the way of the dodo a long time ago. You can do chemical restraints, that’s the thorazine, but you can’t do any other kind.

It's important to remember people: just because someone is a danger to themselves and everyone around them, that doesn't give you the right to physically restrain them.

These people are sick and deserve our sympathy and understanding, no matter how many people's eyes they've gouged out.

Tying them up would be wrong.

[Mcjon01]

What about psychic restraints? If there’s one thing I learned from comics it’s that psych units are chock full of telepaths

At what point of restricting danger does there develop a teleological difference between locking them in a building and locking them in a room?

I get that, but... wouldn't that be preferable to letting them potentially maim or even kill themselves?

[Tobias]

Technically you can lock them in a room for 4 hours. Then they have to hit someone again to get out back though, as I said

[Saiga]

That's also a salient point. We've already decided that we need to restrict the patients in the interest of safety.

[mAc Chaos]

They made a mistake rolling all that back. People just get left to fend for themselves now.

Also spoony check discord.

[Gl❀w]

The real mistake is a severe underfunding leading to an admit-discharge-admit-discharge-admit model that leaves these people entirely unhelped instead of making progress and getting better before it gets this severe

but sure let’s go the archaic route

shall we also restart electroshock for hysteria, as well?

[Tobias]

I suppose this would be a bad time to mention ECT is one of the most effective treatments for certain long term conditions?

we don’t do it at my hospital, but we refer a few clients who could benifit.

it gets a bad wrap

[SeiKeo]

That ECT works so well should be a profoundly unsettling fact.

[mAc Chaos]

The problem is that a lot of homeless people, for instance, have mental issues and can't take care of themselves. They need somewhere to be taken care of and treated instead of just letting them out into the streets, and you can't really expect a hospital to do that full time. The system definitely had reformable problems, but it was better than just giving up on it. Instead, most of these people either end up homeless or in prison, which we're paying for anyway and makes it worse.

”for hysteria” is the pertinent part of the post; “hysteria” of course being historically used to justify all manner of abuses towards perfectly sane women

None of the bands posted or the e-sports teams I know of had a rule of "dudes only". They simply happened to be composed entirely of dudes (and the reason I didn't mention it is because I really don't want to backslide into "but why are there no women there?" ). And like I said, IDOLS make shittons of money. So make some more idols. Why even bother setting them up as an 'e-sports' team when every time someone's tried to set up an 'all girl' e-sports team they've failed miserably?
Heck, I HOPE that doesn't happen again and they actually manage to make an all-female (or more likely, mixed) e-sports team that can actually compete somewhere, because as already observed there's a dearth of female gamers on the global stage, for the games I follow at least. But this is just another publicity stunt.

[Strife ❤️]

imagine being a man in the 21st century

Can't imagine that, I'm sorry
I'd have to actually pretend I'm an adult and that's too hard when all I do is accumulate debt

I'm sure they never had a sign on the wall saying "NO GRILLS ALOUD" but that's not the point. These things aren't literally spelled out anywhere, they're social and cultural constructions. It's a big part of the same reason why women only represent 5% of Fortune 500 CEOs; I'm pretty sure these companies don't have a hard and fast rule on paper that disallow women from holding top positions. It's never a case of "simply happened to be composed entirely of dudes" when it's that widespread.

If companies want to make an all-female or all-male group of whatever, and there's a niche for it and they put effort into it, no reason to think they're fundamentally doomed to fail. Same with this, just because they're all one (female) gender.

I just read the last few pages of this thread.

I think I got whiplash.:confused:

Have they figured out why it works yet or are we still at “beats me but can’t argue with results”

[Gl❀w]

Quick question, if there was an intentional audition process for an all guy sports team, would they too be an experiment doomed to flounder or is “one gender” a euphemism

[Tobias]

Have they figured out why it works yet or are we still at “beats me but can’t argue with results”

Thats a good question.

its more like “we know why it works and we know that it works pretty well...but we can’t tell if the reason it doesn’t last in some cases is because we don’t fully understand the long term effects...or because it works well enough that the people using it stop taking their meds or doing their follow up protocols and end up losing the benifit”

if if that makes sense?

[SpoonyViking]

I suppose that's for the best, really. Would increased monitoring be any effective?

[Tobias]

Not really. The camera feeds are pretty good and there is usually someone watching. But you would be surprised how damn long the thirty odd seconds between someone seeing the altercation and calling the code white can feel when someone is trying to throttle you unconscious
