The key to treating PTSD is facing the trauma and dulling the triggers to the PTSD. Having more flashbacks because of the drug that is supposed to help yoi. Great plan lol

2018-07-29 00:38:33 UTC  

Ayahuasca binges are best for PTSD, change me mind, @M4Gunner

2018-07-29 00:49:47 UTC  

Close and supportive family and friends is best for PTSD.

2018-07-29 00:50:09 UTC  

That helps, as they aid in the "Exposure" Therapy

2018-07-29 00:50:52 UTC  

My wife helped a lot, by forcing me out of the house and to places. Helping me take the steps to 'desensitize' the triggers.

2018-07-29 00:55:07 UTC  

My brother in law still can't go out on any day where fireworks are a thing but he's getting better.

2018-07-29 00:55:16 UTC  

Same here.

2018-07-29 00:56:05 UTC  

I used to not go to the mall in the city I last lived in because there was a 'hippy shop' and the incense triggered flashbacks.\

2018-07-29 00:57:10 UTC  

My wife helped me narrow down that trigger, because yea anxiety was super high in the Mall, but the moment I caught a wiff of the incense near that shop, the trip was over.

That old man needs to take a chill pill.

2018-07-29 01:28:31 UTC  

*29% of Americans are Nazis!!*

2018-07-29 01:31:46 UTC  

Cancel Rick and Morty

2018-07-29 01:31:56 UTC  

I'm assuming 29% is the number of Americans are republican party memberss right?

2018-07-29 01:32:08 UTC  

No, much more

2018-07-29 01:32:09 UTC  

Would be the greatest POL feat of our time

2018-07-29 01:33:45 UTC  

Interestingly this article I just looked up put republicans at 26% and dems at 29%. That makes me chuckle a little bit. https://news.gallup.com/poll/188096/democratic-republican-identification-near-historical-lows.aspx

2018-07-29 01:34:23 UTC  

oh, huh. Well, a lot of states don't have official "parties" you register to

2018-07-29 01:35:22 UTC  

It's self identified in the article so I wouldn't know about official party statistics without looking further.

2018-07-29 01:35:39 UTC  

That's probably where they got the numbers

2018-07-29 01:36:19 UTC  

I'd say it's 45% R, 45% D, and 10% self-claimed 'Independent' or 'other'

2018-07-29 01:37:13 UTC  

"Last year, in addition to the 29% of Americans who identified as Democrats, another 16% said they were independents but leaned toward the Democratic Party, for a combined total of 45% Democrats and Democratic leaners among the U.S. population. Likewise, 26% of Americans identified as Republicans and an additional 16% identified as independents but leaned toward the Republican Party, for a combined total of 42% Republicans and Republican leaners."

2018-07-29 01:37:18 UTC  

So not far off.

2018-07-29 01:37:33 UTC  

Yep, sounds about right

2018-07-29 01:38:18 UTC  

It's two years old though so I bet a lot has changed since the article was written.

2018-07-29 01:38:29 UTC  

Even before the election.

2018-07-29 01:38:36 UTC  

A lot more Rs now lol

2018-07-29 01:39:34 UTC  

I don't think so.

2018-07-29 01:39:53 UTC  

I actually changed parties just to vote for Trump.

2018-07-29 01:40:00 UTC  

I think a lot more people will vote republican because of how left the Democratic party is.

2018-07-29 01:40:02 UTC  

In the primaries.

2018-07-29 01:40:14 UTC  

@Shurik That's what I said

2018-07-29 01:40:48 UTC  

Like I'm definitely not a republican but I'm going to vote republican

2018-07-29 01:41:24 UTC  

The current political climtate reminds me of when the republicans were super evangelocon and the dems were a tent party. How that seems to have reversed. Dems are becoming socialistlib and republicans are becomming tent party of centrists and right of them.

2018-07-29 01:41:46 UTC  

I mean it's the usual pendulum swing.

2018-07-29 01:42:15 UTC  

Sometimes it swings so far that the one-trick pony party collapse and a new one emerges

2018-07-29 01:42:46 UTC  

Like Whigs, and Federalists and those other ones

2018-07-29 01:43:23 UTC  

Can we help fasten the collapse of the socialists tho? Like can I press a to skip their cutscene.

2018-07-29 01:43:31 UTC  

Nope

2018-07-29 01:43:38 UTC  

No, it's an interactive scene
