My reaction as well.
Somethin's a-brewin in QCverse, an' it don't look purty.
Ah'm sure we'll see what's up come Monday.
In the meantime, Ah've got some popcorn and a sasparilly. I'll be at the other end o' the corral if'n ya need me.
(OK, it's not quite as much fun as "Bugger me bollocks", but I bet you're hearing Sam Elliott now...)
Near Lurker:
--- Quote from: Paranoid on 21 Oct 2011, 09:30 ---Agreed. Blowing off the dancing plans to get drunk should be a warning sign for anyone, much less about a known recovering alcoholic who really shouldn't be drinking anymore. And let's face it: even if Faye isn't* technically an alcoholic, she is close enough for most practical purposes.

*Present tense used to reflect the generally agreed upon fact that you never fully recover from alcoholism.

Hoo boy. A True Believer. Let me tell you: modern therapy is a destructive cult of the self, that will destroy you much more thoroughly than any drug ever will. It is their duty to make you dependent on them, and you will be dependent on them, not because they're evil, but because they're in a culture that aggrandizes what began as essentially a pseudoscientific reason to write about libertines and pedophiles in a repressed era, and over time built itself up with studies conducted to a standard of rigor that would get you laughed out of every other field to justify each contrary political or cultural zeitgeist in turn, and introduced elements of both Western and Eastern mythology to the mix. AA is worse, since it explicitly rests on the supernatural, however syncretic, and outright lies about its success rather than just bullshitting. At least the major religions are "observed" hypocritically by most, with nearly everyone recognizing that there is no God even if they don't recognize that they recognize it, but every believer in therapy is the equivalent of Jack Chick, right down to the proselytizing cartoons they give to children. It amazes me how much the defenses of modern "psychology" mirror fundie apologia.

Ah, I missed that. The zeal of the convert, I guess. I rarely drink myself, but zero?
gangler:
That comment is so inconspicuous down there, hidden between the comic and the T-shirt ad in its' small plain font. I never notice it there until someone mentions it in the forum.
jwhouk:
Why, yes, Nearlurker, my bachelor's degree was in Psychology. Why do you ask?
