Reply to Bought house and old paint comes off with barely a scratch. How to prep for a new paint? by Cychotical

Firstly, are the affected walls external to the dwelling?

Secondly, if the affected walls are external, are they a) stone, b) damp?

Plaster/drywall makes no difference as it’s hydroscopic.

The damp in this case, inhibits the paint’s ability to adhere.

Personally, I wouldn’t paint these kinda walls, I’d figure out a different use/approach.

Reply to Our ability to resist temptation depends on how fragmented one's mind is | On the inconsistencies in one’s mental setup by IAI_Admin

I know plenty of people who know exactly the type of character they are, and there’s absolutely no hesitation - no temptation - in acting as they do.

To be tempted depends on a degree of guilt, and hesitation depends on how confident (or not) the person is w/regards to the ‘unattractive’ deed...

...which, if exposed, reflects poorly on their fake ‘reputation’.

There are those who feel no guilt, no remorse, and who are overwhelmingly confident that they’ll not suffer any consequences by doing whatever they want.

Temptation is simply an experience - an id vs superego conflict observed by the ego - for those who haven’t the clearest idea of how to go about getting what they want without consequence.

Then there are those who don’t care about consequences, because they know themselves...

...to be or not to be: there is no question.

Reply to Hi! I’m Dr Lucy Maddox from Bath University (UK). I’m a clinical psychologist researching compassionate care and things that can get in the way. I have a new book out called A Year To Change Your Mind, about how psychology can help with everyday life by UniversityofBath

Compassion fatigue, is that not similar to work induced trauma by proxy? ie specific to mental health care?

Btw, slightly off topic, but if you’re interested in systemic problems that interfere with clinical psychology treatment - DM me...

...I have a story that’s in the public interest, because whenever the care system cannot help a seriously ill service user, you’re looking at an SAI.

Reply to How dogs scoop up water. by ooMEAToo

The most fascinating evolutionary aspect of dogs drinking are the rugea...

...it’s like there has to be an intelligence in nature that digs physics, not just math.

That intelligence is not my dog, who is pretty smart but still no engineer or physicist.
