Comrade_Mushroom

I have a friend who I've known for a while, and generally he's a really friendly guy, like the type of guy who will go very far - sometimes too far and at his own expense - to help someone else out. While the environment that facilitated our friendship ended a while ago and I didn't really keep in touch, I have the opportunity now to re-initiate that friendship.

Yet, I am having reservations because I'm fairly certain he has the "disorder" mentioned in the title. While the urge to be specific is quite strong because I want to be clear about the reasons for my suspicions, I don't want to go into too many details for several obvious reasons, so I'll just sum it up by saying he will almost constantly inject mentions of any number of very serious physical health problems he claims to have into any given conversation, often out of no where and frequently at times which are contextually inappropriate and unnecessary. He is generally self-deprecating, and overtly seeks pity from others, to the point of abruptly derailing conversations and social events for the sake of it.

I know a lot of folks here have a lot more experience with these kinds of illnesses than I do, and so I'm generally wondering if there's any insight y'all can provide for this sort of thing. Are there ways to tactfully convince him to seek assistance with his mental health, when he's so preoccupied with his supposed physical ailments?

Ceramic? Stainless steel? What should I get? I'm getting a lot of mixed answers and "AI" bullshit from trying to research it myself.

Thinking about grabbing it during the summer sale.

Burn it all down, libs. It's the only way.

Comment section full of people saying things like "At least someone has the backbone to stand up to Trump!!"

This is what taking a stand looks like to you?

Are they gonna write an article in 2025 about the sharp hike in the cost of food staples in America with phrases like "deadly crackdown" or "panicked shoppers raided stores" or any of the other blatant dogwhistles used in this article, like talk about the glaring (yet mysteriously accepted) threat posed by America's nuclear weapons, just as they bring up Iran's nuclear deal?

can these people not fucking stop already?

the whole song but seriously everything from 2:15 on is just

Got outta bed to pee...

Haven't played this game yet. I will, but I'm trying to put space between the RPGs I play.
