James Woods wants you to know how much he really, really hates Hillary Clinton

Trump’s newly unveiled anti-immigrant hotline bombarded with reports of space aliens
Launch of the “VOICE” office comes after White House releases list of criminal immigrants riddled with inaccuracies

Why oh why can’t this president get any respect?!

Or . . . are these reports real?!

Wut.

Time to rethink everything.

Thanks)))) i am already feeling light at the end of the tunnel. Last night i spent my whole watch thinking about this and getting angry – seems a bit stupid now.

Woods is such a vile, insufferable shitstain.

Of course that has-been prick rabidly rants about anti-Semitic bullshit, too.

George Soros is the new stand-in for “Jews controlling everything”. Emmanuel Goldstein, so to speak.

I don’t give a damn if Warren has Native American ancestry or not, but the way Woods & other conservative swine insult natives because of Warren is sickening.

May he & his idiot followers rot in Hell.

@Personalpest:

Not at all. I’ve enjoyed a lot of his stand-up as well, I just find such comments from him incredibly disappointing – given he usually came off as a more enlightened figure beforehand.

……and the cat were an orange calico

Joke’s on him because all calico cats are female.

Has the human of a calico, the comparison to Trump is highly offensive.

Eh, I’ve made peace with Mike Nelson’s political opinions at this point. One of the nice things about his run on MST3K is that he didn’t even really hold his own beliefs sacred. Mike and the Bots made jokes about Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich, Morton Kondracke and William F. Buckley to name a few. For that, he’s probably the only conservative comic that I know of that I still find funny.

Also, that’s not to say that there weren’t other cast members who were left-leaning. Kevin Murphy, Bill Corbett and Frank Conniff are liberals as far as I know. I’ve seen Conniff on TYT and Jimmy Dore. So there’s a social conscience in a lot of the cast and crew of the show.

And yes, the new season was awesome. I binged them over the last week and came away with plenty of hearty belly-laughs. The “Boaty McBoatface” gag in The Christmas That Almost Wasn’t had me chuckling for days. Probably what amazed me most is how after 200+ movies, they still found films containing possibly even phonier monsters than The Creeping Terror and plots with less cohesion than The Beast of Yucca Flats. And two films with Caroline Munro and Doug McClure each! I liked all of the new cast, particularly the new Crow, and some of the gags with flying Servo in the theatre were cute.

If I had any criticisms, it’s that I worry some of the references will age poorly. Granted, I didn’t get a lot of the references from the first run, but how long will FitBit be a thing, for example? Also, some of the celebrity cameos got tiresome. But Felicia Day was great, Jonah Ray was great, Patton Oswald was great and they had an awesome selection of films to riff on.

Woods resorting to barely coded anti-Semitism is especially jarring for those of us old enough to remember him playing a Jewish resistance fighter in HOLOCAUST, and an Israeli commando in RAID ON ENTEBBE.

And his treatment of Sean Young was worse than Ghost Robot suggests. Wood in fact publicly denied having had an affair with Young, and called her psychotic for claiming he had. He later admitted that he had been lying, and that he did so in an attempt to save his marriage. He said that as if it were an amusing anecdote, not an explanation for slandering a woman and sabotaging her career.

Valentine – Perhaps you can find someone who does behavioral therapy, which concentrates on, well, behaviors. I wanted to be a research Psychologist (many) years ago and did a lot of reading about it. I decided that I am a bit OCD and applied some behavioral therapy to myself and it helps. In any case, удача!

Most antifa I know are to the left of the democratic party (the again so are a lot of democrats I know),

This is how I feel and I don’t quite know what to call myself anymore besides an SJW.

@Valentine
My apologies if that comment was unhelpful. I don’t tend to look at these things a common way and sometimes don’t express myself very well. I don’t mean to minimize the difficulty you experience with your symptoms and I fear I did that with my previous comment.

u saying that it is good somehow cos of the thoughts I’m not sure how.

It can be a sign of a beneficial skill or sensitivity.

Intrusive thoughts are like a “failure mode” (though that is a bit harsh) of an instinct. Our minds are sensitive to things like social information or potential contamination. In my experience people with intrusive thoughts often have more sensitivity to those parts of perception than most people. If that sensitivity can be harnessed and turned into a skill related to them you may find what created the intrusive thoughts to be a benefit.

In my case by spending lots of time analyzing my social environment is a useful expression of my social sensitivity.

For the rest of time i can remember it has only been something that cause me distress. I struggle with people with power (like talking to captain or boss), new people, social situations (eating with people, group activites) and also like i mentioned situations involved race and gender or how someone looks.

This is why I wish I approached this differently. That matters, and the sensitivity acts like a “difficulty mode” that I have to account for. It may take some time but you get a feel for how your mind works and the sorts of things you have to do to be comfortable in how you interact. I hope it is also liberating for you as it was for me because it was very useful to learn what I did about myself as it let me make assumptions while working on flaws and drawbacks as well as capitalize on advantages.

Natural diversity includes people more sensitive to some things than others.

Without my thoughts all of this would be more enjoyable for me. I could make proper new friendships and concentrate better.

And you can. It will be a matter of how you prefer to have friends and other things you discover. I still am the “fewer, closer friends” type.

I think maybe one only benefit is that if there is a problem i will think on it a lot until i find a solution, because i worry about it so much.

It’s that process that creates the problem. It’s like a skill becoming “second nature”, you practice it until you do it without thinking.

Precisely what you need to get control you may need a professional to tell you. I recommend avoiding alcohol (it can worsen OCD symptoms), and finding an activity you can get engrossed in that can fill your spare mental space for a bit. I do that with the thoughts that I can have issues with (turning the internal conflict simulator off for the night).

But also i am not so sure what you mean so maybe i made a mistake here…

Not you. Just me being less relevant and helpful than I could have.

@Brony

Do not worry, i didnt think you were insensitive, just that i didnt quite understand correctly. But now i think i am getting it a bit better.

When you say it is a problem but the thing behind it might not be bad. Like if i worry about saying or doing something racist then maybe atually it will help me notice the small small acts of racism by others so i can call them out? As an example, is that what you mean?

Right now the only thing i can do when i am in situations where im not comfortable is i dont say anything or i will put my nails in my arm to try to control the thoughts. If i am alone and i get a bad thought then i speak to myself. But i know this is not correct. Also you are right about reducing alcohol consumption because even though i dont drink at work, at home i have done purposful harm to myself like hitting my face because residence to the thoughts becomes reduced. If i make a mistake it is a great difficulty for me not to hurt myself sometimes, but at least if i dont drink alcohol i can resist. So i will take your advice on this one ))))

For friends i think i am like you, i like a few, strong friendships. But with that is also paranoia and sometimes the desire to break them. It is good though i think to have close friends, whith whom i can share this now.

I find i have more control at home unless i have been drinking because it is a place i know and i am comfortable. At work the thoughts come more and very often and very strong, but i dont drink there so dont act on them. Both times have their bad and good points. You are right maybe i need to speak to a professional because the things i do to help the thoughts or stop them are not correct.

But thank you also, your replies are all helpful. I have let myself be alone in this my whole life until I shared on here so everything you can say is helping)))))

@Valentine

I don’t know as much about psychology or this issue as others, so anything I would say would just be guesswork and probably not helpful, but I did want to respond to this:

Thank you for your wishes, i have had this and some also other wierd things (for example i believe photographs of people can see and hear me), since I was a child.

Now, I don’t remember whether you said/implied English isn’t your first language or just that you aren’t American, so if this is just a translation issue, I apologize for the teal dear. But in case it’s not: Do you actually believe that photographs of people can see or hear you? Or do you feel as though photographs of people can see or hear you, though you are intellectually aware that it’s not the case?

The way you described it, it sounds like the second one is the case. (If it’s the first one, that’s still OK, but the post doesn’t really apply.) There are two main reason that I wanted to address this. One is that, while I hope you find a good therapist, not all therapists are great, and if you say that you “believe” something like that to some of them, they may take it at face value and put you into a box you don’t belong in, and push for more different actions than are actually the best ones for you.

The other is that you’ve been describing how bad you feel about yourself, how you don’t trust yourself, feel like you’re “crazy”, etc, and thinking to yourself that you *believe* things you know aren’t rational can contribute to that feeling. “I believe people in photographs are watching me” seems like it would contribute to those negative feelings about yourself, while “I have the strong sensation that people in photographs are watching me, though I have a firm enough grasp on reality to realize that feeling is inaccurate” is a way of thinking about the issue that reinforces the ways you can trust yourself.

I hope this made sense, and that I’m not overstepping or giving bad advice as a complete layperson. Please take what I say with a grain of salt.

Also, I tried to keep this post in line with the comments policy. If I failed at that anywhere, I am sincerely sorry. I in no way think that having a mental health status that makes one believe untrue things in any way means that person can’t be a good person, or is acceptable to mock, or worth less than neurotypical people (who, after all, can believe incredibly untrue things themselves).
