Well, no- this part isn’t about opinion. You’re just wrong about this part. Agree to disagree on the rest though, sure

I… assume their inner world is that of a child’s.

if someone never makes it past their teens…

Consuming media designed for a younger audience does not inherently mean these things, and in fact likely only ever very rarely does

This perspective is so foreign to me. It’s a valid opinion ofc, which I can respect, but I don’t respect the overt judgement- it’s the needless shitting on people that I think is a problem, and it honestly comes across as insecure and, ironically, a little immature.

In my clinical experience as a therapist, it’s often actually an indication of health for adults to partake in such things.

You talk like your perspective is the natural default, but I think it’s not, and I think this says a lot more about you than it does others.

No, I didn’t know what you meant, and I think all the hate you’re getting suggests you’re doing a poor job of communicating effectively and it’s not a me-problem.

I’m not trying to be disingenuous, but I do see that I’ve conflated reading level with target audience, but my initial argument still stands if we swap that out. When I said I enjoy reading books at a 5th grade reading level, I meant books whose target audience is middle schoolers.

Consuming “childish” media ≠ refusing to grow up. I think that’s a very important distinction to make, and your comments in this thread seem to be conflating the two. At the same time though, what’s wrong with “refusing to grow up”? Why is it so important to you that others be mature?

I can understand shaming people for supporting JK Rowling, but shaming people for reading at or below their reading level just feels like pointless bullying. For what reason? What’s the goal of doing that?

I’ve read Heidegger, but my favorite books that I enjoy going back to reread for fun are at a 5th grade reading level. Do you feel the same way about adults who enjoy cartoons? Is partaking in easy/unchallenging comforts immature in your mind? If so, why? If not, where does this perspective come from?

Technically bisexual is an umbrella term that encompasses pan, omni, etc. Omnisexual implies gender- or sex-based preferences, whereas pansexual implies having no such preferences

Bozo feels worse than twat or shithead for some reason

Any chance you had recently been given a corticosteroid? I had a Kenalog injection that made me see the hat man for about 2 weeks when I was in highschool

Did you literally have your flash before your eyes and shit your pants, or are these expressions?

I’m a therapist and I use SimplePractice for my practice. They recently added an AI note taker that is HIPAA compliant, and the consent form they suggest giving to clients sounds okay, but I read the actual privacy policy and the language used is way too vague for me to trust, so I don’t use it.

In your position, I would:

1. Ask if you have to sign that, or if you can opt out. Your specific provider may be open to just not enabling the AI note taker for your profile, and they may be able to remove that form from the app for you on their end. This may not be in their control, but if they’re a good person who cares about you, they’ll make an effort to get it done anyway.

2. If not, ask for a link to the actual privacy policy and see if it sounds acceptable to you. Not the practice’s Privacy Practices, not the Patient Portal privacy policy, but the actual privacy policy for the AI note taker (whoever you ask might have to do some digging to actually find it)

I always get the two confused- they might be thinking of The Jungle Book
