    I can’t do the pig squeal sounding screams, but a good heavy vocalist can add so much to the range of emotion. It was an acquired taste for me, though. I had friends trying to show me BTBAM thinking I’d appreciate the complexity, but it took ages for me to really hear everything through the wall of sound. Looking up lyrics helped massively, along with finding bands that blend the heavy and clean vocals so there were spots I could sing along with. I’d love to learn to scream properly so I could belt out some gutturals



  • Eh. I think it’s hard to say. These days I think we can be expected to learn so much more than previous generations depending on the field. My psych undergrad emphasized a lot of neurobiology and other hard sciences with the humanities. I use chat to supplement recreational study on top of that, prompting for academic studies, etc., plus following experts around social media. I also saved as much material as I could between textbooks and other resources.

    Oxytocin is a big one, but I’m struggling to remember the others. I remember that one cuz of a psych class where the professor brought it up as an event that mothers would associate as having some of the highest levels of it. Its considered the bonding hormone, so makes sense we’d bond with our babies so drastically to keep us motivated to care for them after they ripped our lower body apart lol



  • I want to preempt this by apologizing if you are a victim yourself, or at least say I don’t speak for all victims. That said, threatening violence - unless as immediate defense - is not moral within my view. I’ve been raped and had loved ones violently murdered. I would not wish pain on those responsible. I want them to understand and grow as people. Maybe it will never happen, and I can accept that. I can’t accept loosening my moral standards and sinking to their level.

    Sequestering them from society is more preferable. Requiring therapy. Community service.

    I’ve been in therapy off and on for years. One piece of advice a therapist gave me that I’ll never forget is to never stop being an idealist.
