I actually read the DSM IV for the first time after I saw it in my uncle's suitcase and felt like I couldn't put it down. Pretty interesting stuff there but I don't agree with all of it. Didn't get to read the entire book though but I don't think I want to go through all of it anyway. If I had my way some of that shit would be thrown out but maybe a few new ones added and named after certain Teknoscape personalities.

I have a friend at the moment that loves getting labeled and keeps using it as a cop out -- and regularly takes many times the normal dosage because "it isn't working". There seems to be a mentality in the world where if you have a problem it's because of something you are missing or need to add (e.g. medication) rather than realising the obvious that there's something toxic in your life that you need to get rid of. People should work on getting rid of stress instead and failed philosophies.

Agreed, the DSM has symptoms to classify just about every healthy reaction people can have into a mental disorder. Though it is useful to counter your parents reactions to you sleeping in late (DSPS - Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome was a good excuse to tell my dad to stick his whining about my late rising times up his windpipe), there are now things like 'sibling rivalry disorder'. Really? Your children fight? Fascinating... Let me prescribe some medication to help cope with them. Did you need something yourself to cope with the stress in the meantime? Here, i have some vallium lying around
And as for the use of labels as a cop-out, the link i posted about marijuana being addictive to 9% was posted on my wall by a mate who claims he's part of that '9%'. I told him he loves playing the victim, which would also explain why he quit a job after being unemployed for months. He only had it for two weeks and then 'dislocated' a shoulder cause he had to lift heavy boxes. Needless to say, im not paying for his sessions for a while... Though that's more due to uni. Even if it wasn't, to hell with that, bitch needs to man the fuck up!

That would be a good read if you find it, cheers

Got to sleep at 5am this morning. Woke up at 12 and cleaned the kitchen, dishes, benchtops, vacuum, mopped. Went to the shops and paid household bills, went to bank and paid rent. I am knackered! Snoozy time for me - I deserve it!

I get them at the urinals sometimes.

Nah, dunno. Just saw it in the fridge and had some. Think it's a limited time thing though so you might have to get in early, or else you might have to hold down that blender lid really tight while your Jaffas are smashing about in the milk.

That reminds me of the Stanford Prison Experiment. It was a study about human behaviour in positions of power - a two week experiment that lasted 6 days before they had to shut it down because the people who were playing the roles of prison guards took it to far against those who played the role of prisoner. The participants were psych students as well.

For only (1971) $15 a day no wonder the psychology students revolted. If they were Murdoch students they would have formed a Prisoners' Union and tried to negotiate for higher pay -- I know nosaJ D: would have and made us proud. By being funded by the US Office of Naval Research you'd think they'd have more money than that. But they obviously needed more money back in 1971 for the napalm bomb research to test out the effectiveness of it on cute test baby orangutan subjects (they were orphans anyway [as their parents were used in the previous experiments] so I guess it was OK).

Don't know about the selection process. It does sound more like this group was role playing during the experiment out of some combination of being bored and coming from an advantaged background, and having their basic privileges taken away for the first time in their middle class life. This was before the time of WoW so it was probably as close as they could get to "for the horde" raid excitement. These students probably assumed this lockup would be just an extended period of being "sent to their room" for talking back to their parents. But the experiment was also about the effect of becoming a prisoner guard and with the simulated prisons full of white middle-class young adult males the temptation would be just too strong for some of the guards (possibly middle aged female arts professors) to vent out their dislike of this demographic and use them as pinatas.

They should have tried different combinations such as using really provocative prisoners with Tibetan monks /Jainist prison guards, or something like the reversal of that. In the first case seeing if people like the Dalai Lama would go all communist China policeman over the prisoners or in the second case whether redneck/abusive prison guards would go all soft like the pulp left behind when an Alabama cop is done beating up some black guy would be very, very interesting.

Although ethically you could say it was a failure (it wasn't quite on the same scale as Wirths' Nazi experiments but not as harmless as me being subjected to pornographic images by UWA psychiatry students) there were some interesting results that came out of it. Although I'm not sure how detailed they got with it as even things like the colour of the walls would probably make a difference. Not to mention food. I'd join in any riot if I were forced to eat hard tacos.

You guys are such an interesting font of information.

Checking that out now...

Edit: Oh right. I know this one. Just didn't know the name.

**nosaj D:** · 24-03-2012, 08:48 PM

You would come in handy as an unwitting assassin. All I'd have to do is project a Comic Sans font with the message "DIE" on someone's face from the clock tower using a high precision laser hologram and then my work is done. No one would believe I would be responsible for it -- it'd be like a crazy conspiracy theory right from a dance forum.

**The Biz** · 24-03-2012, 09:39 PM

Seriously, I rage when I see use or abuse of Comic Sans by anyone or any institution that wishes to be seen as more distinguished than a roadside lemonade stand run by children. While I may not resort to the type of violence you're hoping for in the above post, aside from a well placed Ric Flair-like chop to the forehead and an accompanying "Woo!" for theatrics, rest assured I would boycott the living shit out of whoever was responsible and whatever product/s they were trying to sell or promote using the afore mentioned, offensive excuse for a font. Even when used with a sense of irony or whimsy, it's just unacceptable. It should be named Sans Comic because it is just that, without comedy. If Comic Sans was a person, it would be Pauly Shore. It's irritating, irrelevant and as such should be taken out behind the proverbial barn and destroyed. Chiller can go to.

Yeah I was waiting for your epic lengthy style post as a response to my provocations.

I was expecting a much different explanation such as hatred of Comic Sans coming from seeing party invitations in year 2 being passed around by the most popular kid in class to McDonalds written in big bright Comic Sans font letters but being the only kid in class that didn't receive one. Or perhaps an old love affair where her letters resembled Comic Sans except for her addition of love hearts on top of the i's and exclamation marks. And then on her final letter it changed to "Wide Latin" to inform you of her decision to leave you for some Brazilian stud.

Sans Comic Sans from now on bro. If it means this much to you I am willing to give it up and go cold turkey.

So Layla has been constipated for 4 days now with no movments, so I decided today that it was time for a suppository as laxatives arent working.
I explained to her what I was going to do (she has had it before) and then after I had done it she could have a lollipop. But she wasnt keen. So I just had to do it anyway.
Its heart breaking enough with her crying and screaming, but even more so when she is doing that and also yelling at me "THIS IS NOT A GREAT IDEA".
Feel bad that i have a giggle about it now though. Funny kid, but my poor baby, cant wait til we get to the specialist and they can tell us whats up.

haha I wish it was that easy. Id be squeezing her every other day. Its doing my head in. She eats so well and I hike up her fibre but her body just does not want to poop. After a heap of screwing around between PMH and JHC we finally got an appointment to see why it keeps happening.

How do I 'tactfully' ask if whities/ cross breeds are gonna be there also ??
Last time he invited me I had to decline then I saw the pics he posted and it was all azns so I was GLAD that I had declined.
Racist ? Perhaps a little. Gives me lols ? Yes, a lot.

**BLEGH!** · 27-03-2012, 04:50 PM

Shmi - no tact about it, I just straight out asked if its all azns goings. He said yes and some half casts. hahahahahaha!!!
Decline.

It's nice to know that my judgement of people is still fairly accurate, even if it does mean propagating racial stereotypes. fuck you. You don't get a pass for being racist as fuck just because you share a phenotype or two with the people you are being racist towards.

Why is everyone crying that BLEUGH is racist?

She's a fucking idiot going by how she posts, did you expect her to be some sort of half bred intellect?

HURR IM HALF N HALF HURR DUNLIKEEM HURRR.

Decline.

Does this mean that when your family goes out to dinner you feel very uncomfortable? Do you ring up all your white friends to come along and bleach out all the embarrassing yellow piss stains around you to feel less awkward?

What's wrong with "cross breeds" ? To make, or make love to a Eurasian, that is the question. I'm with Hitler on this one and I believe this "cross breeds" superior race should take over the world.

So, errrr. What about when you're going to have kids? Are they going to be full Asian? Eurasians? What are you going to do then? Or did you stop over in Jamaica and went blazin' all night with the local lads mon?

You silly girl! You remind me of myself sometimes. You forget you're Asian too LOL. Just stop going by your western name (Grace/Anna/Michelle/Margaret etc) and find your roots by demanding to be called by your real name (Hyun-OK, Sook-Joo, Choon-Hee etc). Stop watching those trashy white girl TV shows like Gossip Girl and embrace your heritage by watching Flower Boy Ramyan Shop or Deep Rooted Tree. It will save you the rejection next time you join in an anti-Asian Neo-Nazi rally and get politely told to GTFO.

Scramble With Friends. Decline! I'm not gonna play with you anymore until you rediscover your true roots! Nah kidding. This comes as no surprise to me.
