Otherwise, you supposed intent means absolutely nothing. Meanwhile, this is the opposite of decent human behavior in this situation. So kindly stop apologizing for him. He isnā€™t sorry. He wonā€™t apologize. His behavior is garbage.

There is also a lot of discussion of harm to children in the piece, so beware of that as well. No, there isnā€™t a conviction ā€” but public opinion isnā€™t actually a court, and there is enough to believe the victims. I do. (3/3)

I knew I can do it, but my trauma didnā€™t result in PTSD and I have an acquired ability to cope with this. You absolutely shouldnā€™t go there if you suspect it will retraumatize you. Enough of us will see without you hurting yourself. (2/3)

Now, though I know many donā€™t celebrate anymore, I am preparing an ā€œeveryoneā€™s favoritesā€ feast.

Do you also think that podcast bros offer good advice?
comment in response to post
Yes, like that ā€” or sharing ā€œfactsā€ that are not factual, or ā€œrelatableā€ content that is misleading, or misrepresenting correlations as causes. Thatā€™s mostly what I deal with.

Thank you! Psychology misinformation is usually promoted by people who think itā€™s real and share with good intentions of helping others. So simply being interested in psychology or mental health easily exposes one to misguided content.

Absolutely. Writing down a bunch of platitudes is much more profound than conducting research studies in a difficult filed and attempting to summarize the results for the public. Makes a reader feel smart, too.

I feel this. I give open notes, unlimited time tests in my college classes. On a recent Psych 101 midterm, there were 44 questions. Numerous students got less than 20 correct. Two got 10. Yet the highest result was 43.
