Is #condescension something #therapists are born with or is it #environmental induced?

A quotation from Ben Franklin

The cringing Train of Pow’r, survey;
What Creatures are so low as they!
With what obsequiousness they bend!
To what vile actions condescend!
Their Rise is on their Meanness built,
And Flatt’ry is their smallest Guilt.

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) American statesman, scientist, philosopher, aphorist
Poor Richard (1741 ed.)

In a thrilling #saga of #corporate #condescension, #Microsoft tells you that your #browser is trash 🗑️, then presents a riveting 404 masquerading as an educational piece on garbage collection. Meanwhile, the "Skip to main content" button is the hero we didn't know we needed. 🤦‍♂️

This #Swedish #policy smacks of utter #condescension imho👎 #unconscionable
Ideas that only #ethnophobic #nazi #skinheads can think of...🤔

"Sweden's coalition #government is propped up by the #Sweden Democrats, a #farright party that won the second highest number of seats in the 2022 election. The party began as a #neoNazi movement in the 1980s but rebranded itself as a #conservative party"

Sweden will offer #migrants $34,000 to go home

I’ve been on HRT for about a year now. Part of it is Estrogel, which comes out of the container in metered doses. This last container I got has been acting weird. The first night was fine, but for the past two nights, the doses are random. It comes out as a full dose, a partial dose, or just air. So today I took it back to the pharmacist explaining the problem. Of course, as soon as he pushes the button, the correct dose came out, which meant he started explaining to me how to use the button properly. Dude, I’ve been using this med for a year and have never had this problem. I was not pushing the button incorrectly. So after being condescended at for a bit, I ended up taking the same container home with the caveat that if it malfunctions or runs out, come back for a new one. Oy. So tired of medical people thinking I don’t have a clue just because I have tits. #condescension

I love how my point was immediately proven by butthurt Aussies coming in to reassure me that they are in fact better than us LMAO #gunviolence

Like literally my entire point was that y'all think you are superior to us and know what we should do here because you have #socializedmedicine and less than 400 million guns in your country, and y'all just had to immediately make sure that was confirmed for me.
