I like to write, I like to analyze, I like to understand as much shit around me as possible... Drugs aren't good for that.

Also, doctors once knocked me out by accident. I got locked down for like 3 weeks and 2 nights in a row they had to drag me to bed because I was 100% KO.

It's different, your stuff has been studied. Being crazy is all neurological and that area is 99% unknown. Doctors are guessing, I don't like that.

I also rejected going to therapy every single time, it's all bullshit, it's all jabber-jabber, no real science.

I believe in real medicine. Psychology and psychiatry aren't real science.

Neurobiology is real science but, well, they're still nowhere near developed enough.

They even did a MRI of my brain. The only thing they told me? "Your brain activity is above normal".
G-fucking-G, morons, how much did you have to study to see that the screen lighted up more than average? 🤦🏻

Neuroscience is cool but it's nowhere near to being able to treat real people.

They're guessing what drugs to give you and it's all based on your "feelings". What real science puts feelings as a centerpiece of a diagnosis?

Nah, fam, they're INTERPRETATIONS and, as such, SUBJECTIVE and subjective stuff can't be part of any real science.

I trust that, one day, neuroscience will reach a point where it can actually cure people and basically just be another regular part of medicine. Right now? It's closer to homeopathy than to anything actually effective.

Well, neuroscience is so underdeveloped it's closer to that than to anything that should be considered "science".

Physiotherapy? Fuck'em, I just gave him some pills and now he can walk!

Usually, neuroscientists tend to be rather "humble" and "realistic" and they know that their field is still in its infancy.

It's underdeveloped and, as a result, rather useless.

I get it, it's your job (or you want it to be your job), but that doesn't mean you should be like "NEUROSCIENCE IS SAVING MANKIND AS WE SPEAK". The good ones in your field always tend to be open about how little they actually know.

I went to like 4 different psychologists during 7 years. During that time I tried to kill myself twice, none saw it coming.

It's all bullshit.

I stopped going when I became an adult, probably the best decision I've ever made.

Everything related to mental health is based on thin air.

They only know about 1 thing: GIMME MONEY. 💰

Not really, those 4 psychologists thought I was a genius or some shit.

Several, at least a couple each one.

Not that often, also most of the ones I did were fairly lengthy.

One made me take an IQ test that was based on answering stuff correctly in a row (all questions kept getting harder). He was all like "I have your files so I expect this will take us 2 sessions", we went on for like 3 and a half.

I have a weird memory. I mostly remember things at random. It doesn't really matter whether I try to memorize it or not.

I have a fuckton of useless facts in my brain... but I was also really bad at studying.

I never tried to remember those facts, it just happened. Something decides for me what should be "stored".

It's more like self-deprecation in a way.

"I had it all and I fucked it up" - @Mr Strontium.

I'm actually very skeptical because the things examined in most tests are rather stupid shit.

It's not actually useful stuff, it's just concepts that someone MIGHT use... except not really.

I remember those "complete the sequence" crap, memorizing text and numbers, lexicon quiz... You're not smart, you just have mostly useless skills.

I could compare IQ tests to something like the NFL Combine (those physical tests NFL rookies have to take).
Your overall score in both things has little to no correlation to your actual performance.

God, I fucking suck at prepositions.

You're just isolating very small things that sometimes don't even play a role in real life.

English is my 3rd language, bitch.

Not you.

One who believes that the Sun goes around the Earth.

The guy knows the concept, just not the word. 🤦🏻

My stomach still hurts.

HEY - I'm a Spaniard and I've never visited places like 4chan or Forocoches.

Forocoches was supposed to be a forum about cars, motorsports and videogames and it has now evolved into the Spanish 4chan.

Forocoches has done some hilarious 4chan-like stuff.

Remember Boaty McBoatface? That was only possible after the organizers took down an original idea Forocoches: Blas de Lezo, the man that led Spain to the win in Cartagena de Indias, sinking A TON of boats and killing thousands of Brits.

The reasoning for calling "Blas de Lezo" a boat of the British Army was... "that he helped the British Army advance in submarine exploration by sinking a lot of their ships". 😂

They almost sent some awful rapper to Eurovision. The rapper, a small violent guy called John Cobra, told the TV judges on live national TV: "y'all gonna suck my dick".

During the internal problems of the PSOE (Spain's version of the UK's Labour Party) in like 2017, they had a lengthy meeting. To increase the tension of the meeting and the speculation by journalists, Forocoches bought them like a dozen pizzas and sent some Mexican-style band to "help them".

TODAY IN WOKESPORTS
· 60k people went to watch the Atlético de Madrid - FC Barcelona women's league match, setting a new worldwide record for women's club soccer matches.
· There are 2 big tricks: tickets were 5€ and any member of the club (including the non-paying ones) could get 2 tickets for no cost.

Atlético de Madrid probably lost hundreds of thousands of euros for this little stunt. 😂 🤦🏻

I like women's sports... when the women are just weaker but still have nice technique. I like watching the female events of things like alpine skiing, XC skiing, biathlon, ice tube sports, ice skating, gymnastics... but it's laughable to watch women try to play stuff like soccer, basketball, cycling or action sports.

The female competitions of things like skateboarding and freestyle skiing are straight-up embarrassing. It makes me cringe, for real.

Men in ice skating = quad flips
Women in ice skating = triple flips (less but still really good)

Men in freestyle skiing = triple flips
Women in freestyle skiing = single flips (and they look like they're making an inhumane effort to pull them off)

Watching women race in something like biathlon is really cool. Their shooting percentages are similar to men, they use the same strategies, their skiing technique is fine, they're just 20% slower than the men.
In cycling it should be the same... except women's cycling doesn't use the level of strategy men's cycling uses. I've seen female race contenders pedal away from a fullsize peloton without opposition. No freaking team tried to somehow give chase, you can't do that in men's cycling, it's insane.

They need like 5-6 steps more than men to reach similar distances.

I kinda understand that the FIS doesn't allow the women to jump from the bigger hills. I do dislike how the men never hit the smaller hills outside World Champs and Olympic Games, that's stupid.

Oh, the ski flying stuff. The longer ones allow for jumps of up to 240m or so.

For some reason, those hills are getting more popular and new ski flying hills are getting built. 😂

St. Patrick would be a much beloved figure if he had kicked out all the English out of Ireland.

Human-powered records are still possible even in highly-professional sports.

53,55kph average from a standing start, not bad! - Dude did the flying 400m at over 60kph average, DAMN.

JK Rowling doing JK Rowling shit. 😂

Alyssa Milano

SPANISH supremacy, you uncultured fuck.

Of course he was born in Turkey 🤦🏻

A Hollywood elite is actually a far-left guy? WHO WOULD'VE GUESSED IT!?

@ebowden - The "let me in" guy, he's the face of a bunch of memes.

That's the other big meme I couldn't name.

His show looks like "alt-comedy" when compared to mainstream comedy... but he's just another far-left moron.

That meme is mostly decent, also the reverse one.

That's the origin of the "Let me in" meme.

Every single current Hollywood elite is either far-left or has spoken loud and clear about it and doesn't work often.

Also, hasn't Clint Eastwood been rather "loud and clear" about it?

Any "silent" Hollywood elite? Far-left.

Also, you know how they think because of how they get treated by politicians. In Spain, the pseudo-communist politicians dress like shit to go to congress/senate... but dress really fancy to events related to movies and music.

Dude does some crazy-long US roadtrips while using the "one photo every X seconds" of GoPros.

Racism by non-white people is a huge issue in several countries and it's the kind of thing they never mention. The USA is nowhere near being one of the most racist countries in 2019.

The red clay state

I'm from Spain 🇪🇸 BTW

Yeah but I'm looking for work and a kinda-nice thing popped up in the French Alps, in Annecy.

Spain is safe but it's becoming less safe and less nice with time.

Like there're people advocating for underage sexchange surgery to be 100% funded by the government, just to think of one of the craziest crap.

Oh, yeah, if you're a kid and your mother gets killed by your dad, you get MORE money than if it happens in reverse (mom kills dad).

Nationally? Around once a week average, 50-55/year.

Crime rate is somewhat low.

Oh, yeah, another one... Spain doesn't believe in self-defense of any kind. The only thing that matters is THE OUTCOME. Whoever loses the fight is the victim.

A former policeman gunned down 2 people in his house when some thugs broke in... and now they're asking like 20-30 years in prison.

We have former terrorists in congress and in several town halls. Not an exaggeration, they formed part of a terrorist group that killed around 800 people in a bit over 40 years.

It's way worse in a way. Some people now living off everyone's taxes kidnapped and tortured hundreds of people, some planned out attacks that ended with over a dozen fatalities.

Ilhan Omar has done NOTHING in comparison to a lot of politicians of **Bildu** (the name of the political party).

Oh, I forgot, Spain is one of the favorite targets of Islamic terrorism! Since Spain (and Portugal) were once part of the Muslim world, they think they gotta change us to being Muslim again.

Almost every single month a bunch of people are arrested related to Islamic terrorists.

Only ones actively blocking Muslim immigration in the "Western World" are Hungary and Poland

Not sure, @Finno, got any article about it?

Oh, that's nice. 😃
