The Wall

I guess I was wondering if there’s a risk of having your convo in an empty classroom accidentally being recorded? E.g. If you find a random classroom to have convo with your therapist?

Recording is scheduled through CTE, and as far as my assistants can tell, it’s automatic. If there is a class scheduled in the room you’re meeting in, it could be automatically recording. To make sure you’re selecting a room without recording equipment, you can check a list linked here: https://www.bc.edu/content/bc-web/academics/sites/center-for-teaching-excellence/tech-tools.html#panopto (login required for list)

Minecraft itself is a complex multi-user video game, but a user named ArchebuS created a religion associated with it in 2011 called Cubeaism. Here’s a wiki on Fandom: https://cubeaism.fandom.com/wiki/Cubeaism_Wiki

I could not understand why BC chooses to use law enforcement to care for students’ well-being, when knowing it actually triggers and hurts lots of students… Anyway, is there a stay-away order for all the officers?!

BCPD would get bored following me; I don’t go anywhere. I’m sorry you and other students are triggered by BCPD, and that you’ve observed that they follow you or others. I’m not sure what you mean by a “stay-away” order. If you or others are being singled out for attention unfairly, please document the situation(s) and contact the Office of Student Outreach & Support: bit.ly/bc-stu-support

Or would you be a twist character?

I have always seen myself in a supporting role.

b/c they are failed by some therapists or counseling services, and have no other places to go. For some others, they might find turn to the wall more as voicing concerns about the system rather than primarily meeting their own needs. For some others, they might have repaired the relationships with the therapist/counseling service and have their own therapist to talk to, but the relationship they formed with the wall is still an important part of their lives that they wish to maintain. Plus, in some cases, the wall protect your privacy and rights more than what is being put on the medical record or from people who hav the power to coerce you. They might seem more confidential, but they are not.

^^^^^^What they said.^^^^^^ Therapists are subject to a sometimes conflicting ethical guidelines and legal duties both to protect patient confidentiality and to warn of potential harm. Here is a description of those potential conflicts: bit.ly/duty-to-warn

It’s really wierd! My best friend loves bsdm and someone I know told me that he is turned on by the sound of an electric toothbrush. Why is that so? (And why the hell do some males like bdsm?! Isn’t that a more female thing?)

One thing I love about humans is their endlessly surprising variety. We walls have differences as well, but we’re often so utilitarian that quirks are a little more unusual.

I aim for fair, generous, and informative. It’s much easier to get those right for a large audience.

Ps. I know, but you owe me a margarita!

No clue. I’m not much of a prognosticator, especially with fictional what-ifs. If I had pockets, I’d dig in and buy you a drink.

Can I have a hug? Hug is missing in this season! 😉

Meow meow! I’m always here for hugs. ???

I think he reads this
Thank you!
BC is the best

Hey, Dan! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Curious what you think about it. Isn’t it wrong to share deep personal infomation online? Some of the posts are so personal… Altho it is anonymous, it can still be a way for an obsessed freak to track someone down and expose everything writen here or heven worse…

I answer all questions that are respectful of other people and groups and individual privacy, and aren’t derogatory or hurtful. I agree that people may want to limit the amount of personal information available; that’s as true here as on any site or social media account. I’m not a psychologist, that’s true. Anyone who might welcome counseling, I refer to BC’s counseling services: bit.ly/BC-counseling.

Here are some tips from Runner’s World: bit.ly/RunAndPee. However it seems that many long distance runners just let nature take its course, which sounds fairly unpleasant, but with everything else they do to excel in the marathons, it’s probably just a drop in the bucket….

It likely depends on what the overthinking is trying to protect you from. Is it anxiety? Perfectionism? An attempt to control unruly situations? Try and address the underlying thing. And also, be kind to yourself right now in Covid times. Everyone is at least a little more wound up than usual.

If so, why haven’t we encountered any real time travelers yet?

Mental time travel (the ability to think about the past, present, and future) is something humans can already do. The kind you mean, not so much. But it’s a huge topic in philosophy and physics. Check out my friend, the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy for a run-down on the pro, the con, and the paradoxes. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/time-travel/

This is what he is asking (I didn’t write it): “Does stimulating my anus gently when I “play with myself” harm me and is it bad to do it?”

Because of the many nerve endings in the anal area, many people find pleasure in anal stimulation. Gentle stimulation of the anus while masturbating will not harm you physically. More care is needed if inserting something into your anus- fingernails should not be sharp, and objects should never be inserted completely in. Whether or not anal stimulation is “bad” depends on your opinions on sex and what you decide is good or bad for you.
