If he’s not dead or missing in 2 weeks I’d be surprised

Oh lord what’s his name

A University Don, Professor Maduike Ezeibe of the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike, Abia State, has claimed his recent therapy for the dreaded Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome is real and effective. According to Ezeibe, he discovered the therapy when he decided to join the medical world to search for a solution to HIV/AIDS.

His research into the therapy known as ‘Antivirt’ (Anti-Viral Therapy) started in 1994, but he was able to discover the therapy in 2013 when his research was published in the British Journal of Medicine & Medical Research, Ezeibe explained.

Mr Ezeibe says two essential minerals, aluminum silicate and magnesium silicate, used in producing the therapy, are mostly found in Umuahia and parts of Abia State which then gives him an upper hand. It will also make the therapy which he claims would take an average of two or three months to cure cheaper and affordable.

Thank you for the name and details

So this is super great if true, but I do feel compelled to point out that this man has a doctorate in veterinary medicine, not immunoviruses. Which is worth considering, I think.

White privilege is being a 21-year-old loser who plots and kills 9 people in their church and when you are confronted by the police, armed, you survive without incident. Later, when you’re escorted to the police station, you are not handcuffed and you even have a bulletproof vest for protection. Meanwhile, the media is already infantilizing you and blaming your actions on anything other than you, even though you planned this attack for 6 months. No one is asking why White men are so violent when 87% of mass killings in America have been committed by White men and nobody’s calling you a terrorist when your very intent was to cause terror.

Seriously. You guys. He had handcuffs. This is getting embarrassing.

Kills 9 people in a brutal assault. Is armed when found after a manhunt. Still isn’t placed in handcuffs. This is the definition of White privilege.

You can try to get a refund if it is within 2 weeks of buying the game, and you've played less than 2 hours. You go to the support screen to submit it, and then the steam people review it and email you.

Because she’s right.

Just because I know people are going to jump to conclusions, have a quote from the actual article:

“I’m not defending the Duggar boy’s obvious wrongdoing over a decade ago,” Palin wrote on Facebook. “I’m not an apologist for any sexual predator, but I’m sickened that the media gives their chosen ones a pass for any behavior as long as they share their leftwing politics.”

This is some end times bullshit.

Sarah Palin said something I jive with and I don’t like how it makes me feel inside

What's pro American about this post, if anything it shows how much European have destroyed cultures??!

Avatar

(Cont) "Also, most people didn't even know about this until I posted it."Nothing. At literally no point did I insinuate that the post is pro American. Which is maybe my biggest problem. Because if you actually talk to like, any Filipino person, you'd know that we really don't have any problem with america. Most of us are pretty happy that you granted us sovereignty, and help us repel the Japanese invaders.The reason most people don't know about it, and I'm assuming you mean most white people, since we know very well about the failure of the first Filipino republic, is because that post is full of lies. There was no invasion, we were an American colony. The invaders were the spanish, who conquered us and then forfeited us as a result of their loss in the Spanish-American war. You, for some reason, straight up doubled the most liberal estimate of our casualties, and that's including soldiers. 500,000 civilians is a flat out lie.And the reason I'm angry, shithead mcfuckwad, which is the name I've given you in my head, is because people will argue about whether or not it is cultural appropriation for a white person to wear a kimono, but this, lying about another cultures history to further your agenda, is actually appropriation. By like, definition. I'm very angry because you are spreading lies about my people to gain more followers and notes and make your stance more reasonable. And I'm pissed right the fuck off because you are insinuating that my people have been miseducated about our history, implying not only that we are incapable of learning on our own, but also pre-emptively asserting that any actual Filipino viewpoint that could disagree with you is the result of us being misinformed, insinuating that our voices are not valid because evil white people already got to us.So yeah. You're pretty fucking awful. Maybe go work on that and keep our history out of your fucking mouth.

This has been a consistent war tactic with europeans. First, they murder the parents, then they mis-educate the children of their victims.

Avatar

I had a really long response about what an asshole you are, and how stupid this post is, and how wrong it is on every possible front. But then I realized that as a filipina, you'll just point out that I've been miseducated and need mighty whitey to show me how bad America has been to my people, so let me just say this: if I ever, in my life, catch you using my history, my cultural heritage to make your shitty pretentious "wake up sheeple" style posts again, I will take my escrima sticks, I will Crack your skull open, and I will make halo-halo out of your fucking brainpan.

Never discredit your gut instinct. You’re not being paranoid. Your body can pick up vibrations, some better than others, and if something deep inside you says something’s not right about a person or situation, trust it and keep it pushing. 

And anyone who makes you feel weird about trusting your gut is shady as fuck if not down right malevolent

Your gut instinct is your hypothalamus, constantly analysing every bit of input it gets for dangers it has encountered before, before that input ever gets to your conscious mind to be interpreted rationally. If someone creeps you out but you don’t know why, it’s because they’re giving off subtle danger signals that you may not be consciously aware of but are definitely there. Don’t trust them.

Avatar

Hey hey, just popping in to say that if you don't critically analyse your gut instincts then you're heading down a fast path to paranoia.

Like if your gut gives you a bad feeling then for sure be wary but also recognize that you are a loose collection of fat and water full of electricity piloting a meat suit and not a magic fucking danger sensor gifted with divine insight.

Also the flat out assumption that nobody who reads this will have a paranoid disorder and that it would totally feed into their psychosis is super fucking disgusting and shame on you.

i will not apologize for hating my oppressors and fuck anyone who tries to use that hate to invalidate the arguments of an oppressed class

Avatar

But it invalidates itself.

Because if you hate something, really honestly hate something, then you’ve already decided how you feel about it before you make your argument. You’ve established your stance, and announced to the world how you feel about it.

Like if CNN ran a story tomorrow that said “democrats are objectively less intelligent than republicans” I would be super interested and have to follow up on it. But if fox news did it, I wouldn’t even pay attention. Because I know their stance, so I can infer that their results are likely cherry-picked, or that the data is manipulated somehow.

Like being angry is one thing, but when you are hateful, when you actively root for the harm of others, you lose credit. Because I can’t trust if what your saying is genuine, or malicious. You can be hateful and still be right, of course, but you need to expect that it will invalidate you to people.

Still not apologizing for hating someone that wants me dead and calls me and other members of the LGBTQ community perverts and molesters

I believe that the luxury of not hating your oppressor belongs to people who aren’t oppressed

And seriously, saying “don’t hate the people that oppress you” has historically been a technique to put down oppressed groups and prevent them from making progress

Avatar

Alright, so don’t apologize. But also don’t be surprised when you aren’t taken seriously, because hatred by definition means that you are no longer willing to find common ground with those who do not share your beliefs. That is a bad thing regardless of the beliefs!! If you aren’t interested in trying to reach a mutual understanding with your detractors then all you’re doing is yelling at people for not agreeing with you. That’s not a good thing, society cannot work that way.

So also don’t be surprised when people like me don’t want you to speak for them. Because I don’t hate my oppressors. I understand that like 90% of them were simply born into existing social structures that benefit them in ways that they don’t have the perspective or need to understand. Which is why I find it so important to reach out, to find common ground so that we can walk away with a better understanding of eachother. The vast majority of the hatred we get is based on fear, and you simply cannot strip away fear with hate. You are talking about human beings, rogerian debate is always going to be more effective than any other type.

So yeah, when I see these trends in the movement that is supposed to be improving the lives of and speaking for people like me advocating hate or malice, I argue. Because it isn’t going to help. It’s just going to make life keep suckling for us, except maybe the people who buy into it will have some of their anger meted out. Hooray.

And if you want to call on history in this, I will point out that young people acting out of a hatred for their oppressors without a proper understanding of the ramifications of those actions were directly responsible for world war one.

parents misgendering and denying trans children needs to be recognised as child abuse tbh

Are you out of your mind? There’s actual PHYSICAL CHILD ABUSE being ignored and You want go make someone’s denying there kids special snow flake-ness into an issue on the same level? I agree it’s fucked up. It however is not child abuse.

a teenage girl is tormented to suicide and y’all over here talking about how trans pp, are special snowflakes lmfao

I guess it hasn’t occurred to some folks that some of us trans kids WERE physically abused for being trans.  My parents tried to beat it out of me in addition to all the emotional and psychological abuse and neglect.  And to be quite honest, the physical abuse was the least painful and easiest to recover from.

Avatar

That fucker right there? They psychologically abuse the people around them.

It's not like it's a zero sum game here, classifying denying trans kids identities as child abuse doesn't make beating on kids not child abuse, so there's no good argument to be made there.

And the focus on special snowflakeness points to a disdain for expressed individuality which means they have issues with people who complain about being made to conform. Which means they were shouted down at a time when they didn't want to conform and internalized it, explaining why it's such an emotional trigger for them. And because they need to normalize what happened to them in order to avoid dealing with the actual psychic damage it caused them;

they psychologically abuse the people around them.

I got all of that from a paragraph and five minutes of thought, theamazingcookie. How long do you think it'll take before the people you love realize it?

Fun fact: There is no scarcity of food, water, or housing. It’s just distributed excessively to certain people.

I beg to differ but okay…

Nah, it’s true. Just off some quick research, rich countries waste 222 million tons of food per year, which is nearly equal to the amount Sub-Saharan Africa produces in a year. (Source)

In 2009 everyday in the United States, leaking pipes lost an estimated 7 billion gallons of drinking water. (Source)

And in also in the United States, in February of last year, there were about 3.5 million homeless people, yet 18.6 vacant homes. (Source)

There's no water scarcity, pipes are constantly leaking.

That's the dumbest point a human being has ever tried to make. If you were a robot, designed by a team of the brightest minds, and painstakingly assembled over half a century for the sole purpose of making stupid fucking points you still wouldn't have tried to make that point, because it's so brain-killingly idiotic that it would violate the three laws of robotics.

speaking of classic memes I just remembered out of fucking nowhere

-is only out as a ghost to a select group of his closest friends who he trusts with his secret. 

liteally how could you not interpret this as a metaphor for being in the closet

YES!!!

There's also the obvious fact that Trans folk constantly have to fight spirits from beyond the veil.

It's like 80% of what we do.

Am I the only one that knows the stereotypical heart shape was meant to be two hearts fused together? 

OH MY GOD THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE

cuz the weird fake heart shape is about love, it’s about TWO HEARTS COMING TOGETHER

guys.

whoa. talk about mindfucked.

Greatest source of information I’ve come across on Tumblr. EVER. That’s fuckin’ ill..

Crazy…but there should’ve been a boob in the background, that would’ve made more sense

so boobs allow love to make sense?

That's not true.

The heart image comes from a crude representation of a seed that was a popular roman contraceptive. So popular, in fact, that they boned it right into extinction.

Just a friendly reminder that the brain of those who have suffered trauma is physically different than a “normal brain”. Trauma and abuse has a severe, long-term psychological and neurological effect. This is why you have difficulty concentrating, why you have trouble sleeping, why you can’t seem to stay focused, why you cry at the drop of the hat, why you’re not satisfied with yourself, why you think everything is your fault, why you think you’re toxic, why you’re full of regret and you don’t know why.

And get this. When you experienced this trauma, no matter how long it happened or how many times, your brain instantaneously made judgments about the world, your sense of self, and others. This is why you’re paranoid. Why you trust no one. Why you perceive things to exist that aren’t true in reality. It’s why people say you’re crazy, over-dramatic, or too emotional.

You may not heal in a day, but know this: it is not your fault. Your brain is responding to trauma.

this is also why you may have memory problems - undergoing severe trauma or prolonged periods of stress can cause the amygdalae in your brain to change shape, thus causing damage to long-term memory and troubles with making and maintaining short-term.

What the fuck would a normal brain actually even be?

mentally ill people arent even allowed to understand psychology and apply it to ourselves lmao only neurotypical people are allowed to think critically about the way their own brains work. mentally ill people have to be TOLD how our brains work FOR us, by a neurotypical person. i have a massive headache

Avatar

This is not true. Like maybe you've only met shitty psychologists, and if so I am sorry, or maybe you only pay attention to what the APA says, but I know so many therapists and mental health professionals who are neuroatypical.

I mean, you can't let the mental illness interfere with your degree or academic program, but that's true of any college program.

Seriously. I was scared for years that my add and depression would be an impedament to my career, but nearly every professional I've spoken to on the manner says otherwise. So I guess what I'm getting at is please do not let fear of your neuroatypicality becoming a scandal keep you from pursuing a career in mental health.
