  • CBT being basically the only kind of approach to therapy that is actually empirically shown to reliably actually help most people.

    Learning that as an acronym for cock and ball torture before the therapy version makes me laugh every time.

    My experience with women therapists was always about how I just wasn’t paying enough attention to other people when I pointed out that the people around me weren’t consistent enough to figure out their patterns. My one therapist who was a man explained that most people are just better at handling it when they were wrong and it is fine to be wrong, plus he helped me get diagnosed with ADHD instead of telling me to just try harder. I’ll bet there are some therapists who are women who are just as good as he was, but it became pretty clear that social norms are just as hard for people who specialize in behaviors to overcome.















  • On a related note, getting unstuck from something like train tracks is a pretty significant hurdles. The only real way is to back up IF turning onto the tracks wasn’t a drop down of the same depth as the rails. Someone who is caught off guard isn’t going to be able to turn a passenger car off the tracks because the rails are tall and getting an angle with the wheels to get over them isn’t really available.

    So while in a perfect world the driver would have slammed on the brakes immediately before it got onto the tracks, getting even the front wheels onto the tracks because they weren’t fast enough may have been impossible to recover from and going forward might have been their best bet. Depends on how the track crossing is built.

    First of all, I already said they shouldn’t be used for daily commuters and I hope there aren’t a bunch of children on a job site.

    Second, the hood design is separate from the purpose of the vehicle. They could put sloped hoods on F350s, and they have had sloped hoods on comparable pickups in the past. That is a separate and valid design issue.

    Third, your van without an enclosure IS THE SAME THING with a different cab and hood design. That is a FLATBED PICKUP TRUCK with a better hood design. What you should be arguing for is the DESIGN instead of just trashing the concept of the type of vehicle existing in the first place.
