I have a negative association with weevils because of these fuckers…

Think it’s a combination of this and greater speed.

For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.

I like how even their nails are Fedora-themed.

“Going to the store”-ass dance.

Do not, my friends, become addicted to [hot lesbians]. [They] will take hold of you, and you will resent [their] absence!

My understanding is that it’s the best method we have at the moment, but might still be ineffective for as much as half of all patients who undergo it.

So, yeah, it kind of sucks, but no other intervention has a better body of evidence behind it. Our understanding of mental illness is unfortunately just very limited.

I don’t think your therapists necessarily meant it in an insulting way.

… with how defensive about Israel she was…

Oh. Yeah, time for a new therapist, then. Can’t expect healthcare professionals to share all of your political beliefs, but not simping for genocidal ethnostates is a pretty low bar.

These bitches don’t even know how to “yes, and…,” smh.

Self-awareness is a good thing, but it’s also the bottom of the barrel when fishing for compliments. In therapy, specifically, the implied sentiment is, “Well, at least you know how fucked up you are.”

She’s making the comparison to the “pleasure to have in class” line, because it’s similar. If a teacher genuinely has good things to say about a student, it’s probably going to be more specific (i.e. – they were inquisitive, a quick study, made their peers laugh, etc). “Pleasure to have in class,” by contrast, is a generic compliment that doesn’t really say anything.

EDIT: Okay, so based on a few of the latest responses, I felt that I should clarify something. I don’t think people who use these phrases intend for them to be insults or demeaning in any way—this includes Cait’s therapist in the original post. It’s just that it can be perceived that way, which is what I think the post was making fun of.

If you’re also an introspective, self-critical person, please don’t take someone saying this to you as an affirmation of your faults. It’s almost certainly an innocuous and genuine observation.

He would be bad at sneaking around.

Ooh… I’ve seen versions of this meme before, but never considered this interpretation.
