I took psychology to get elective credits. That’s how all those classes were. The 101 class was the standard Freud stuff. Then following courses was about the not commonly known psychologists.
One professor was more chatty but I dropped it because I couldn’t handle the course load that semester.
I only use reddit anymore for the meta. It’s like a zoo. Its users are scarcely self-aware. I know this is conceited but whatever.
I think lemmy being a reddit clone is rather ill-fated but at least for now people generally still post like real human beings. There’s something strange about how dialog is basically an algorithm. Reddit is reached some sort of maximum where nothing you can possibly say will deviate the flow of comment sections from the pre-defined talking points. It’s like they’re all stuck in neurotic thought cycles.
Most of what I learned about LGBTQ came from homophobes. The ones who would not shut up about it.
For example when I didn’t know that rainbows were associated with the community. I had friend school over one time. He saw a blanket with a rainbow stripe pattern. He basically had a gay panic meltdown. He was so certain we were a family of closeted gays.
So anyways later on he got a degree from a bible college or something. And he joined an evangelical church. One where they travel around to city streets around preaching from megaphones. Kind of like that Westboro Baptist thing.
In our early 20s he sexually assault me. I found out later from another guy we went to school with that he also forced himself on that guy too.
He’s not the only person I’ve known like this but certainly the most crazy one.
If there’s any true to the saying that gays rub their identity in everyone’s face. Then it’s the homophobe ones. It’s got to be a massive projection. It’s like they’re trying to tell the world but it manifests as some kind of self-hate in denial or something.
