The Official Psychoanalysis GAF Thread

Just in case the brainy surfs come barging in here with rebuttals, there has always been heart disease well before documented HIV+ cases in humans, that's not the issue here, but it's not farfetched to speculate Gaborn's rumored heart failure was AIDS related considerng his lifestyle, his friends'/family's silence and recent medical studies.

I'm telling you the Gaborn we knew would have relentlessly brought his struggles with AIDS up every chance he got, especially when you consider how active he was in raising awareness about LGBT issues.

I feel like you saw the headline "gay man died of illness" and instantly jumped to AIDS.

The guy was suffering from a congenital condition and was huge. Heart failure can swiftly hit anyone with either conditions, let alone having then both.

P.S. I googled before posting my last post and reached two of the articles you linked to. If he had AIDS it wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility to suffer a HF, but we're still trying to establish whether he has AIDS in the first place or not lol.

Why you getting jumpy? Getting nervous?

[Shaka Khan]

A little.

For the third time, it was partly because he was a gay man, but also the nebulous circumstances behind his death with friends and relatives refusing to say much about it. Then again, as you suggest, it could be beause he had no friends so there was no one to say anything. 

Still a bit weird to leave that detail out unless there's a reason to hide that. Suicide is shocking so I understand why it would not be readily disclosed (and why it was a rumorin this thread). AIDS still carries a stigma so it makes sense there too. But just clogged arteries from unhealthy eating habits? That's the American way.   

And again, what is the congenital conditon? IDK and seems like anyone who knows isn't telling. Could be related. Or not. So back to speculatons!

[fistfulofmetal]

do you have aids, jin?

[Shaka Khan]

Yeah, I'm unsure about that as well. A couple of people casually mentioned the seriousness of it without any further elaboration. So it's anyone's guess!

do you have aids, jin?

Heavens no. Then again I haven't tested after my last visit to the bathhouse.

Which friends and relatives aren't saying much? I don't know any of them so it would be difficult to ask them anything. There is an obituary out there if you want to do some detective work.

Apparently he had Klippel-Feil syndrome which can produce heart problems, amongst other things.

[Huff]

I'd imagine all disease states are probably more common in aids pts. HF still doesn't make much at his age

[Don Flamenco]

i read some explanation on GAF, but as soon as I got to the word "priapism," I distinctly felt like all this was none of my business.   

[Great Rumbler]

The "how" and "why" should probably just be left alone, really.

[ToxicAdam]

Basically. If it's not spelled out to you in the public obitituary, you really have no right to know.

As with everythng with this thread, it all comes back to GAF. Or in this case, the GAF thread about Gaborn. 

[Stoney Mason]

RIP Gaborn.

I'll be honest. I didn't like him as a poster for a lot of reasons. But the past is the past.

Thanks for making me feel bad so early in the day.

[Huff]

Discussing the cause of death of someone I knew barely over the Internet  doesn't make me feel bad. Not that different from a case study in a class. Maybe it's different for some of yal long timers

It should. You and Shaka are terrible, terrible human beings.

I think it's clear that he did have Klippel-Feil syndrome, you can easily see the fused cervical vertebrae in the picture posted.

that's because he's racist himself.

Haha, he broke up with his gf and is now homeless because he didn't want to violate his sacred atheistic beliefs. Good luck with that I guess.

Oregon? Don't half ass it. WA is the jewel of the northwest.

[Atramental]

I wouldn't mind my infant being baptisted.

I would however mind sending my kid to 15+ years of religious priviate schooling, having to take him/her to church every Sunday, and shielding my child from certain info that would put into question his/her faith. (Then again. That's how I was raised and look how I turned out.)

One of my best friends is a super atheist, and she does get a little pissed but usually ignores it and goes about her day. She's also a woman who grew up in Iran, which explains the super atheist thing.

Yeah I can see that. The ones on GAF though seem all too eager to call anyone remotely religious names.

[StealthFan]

Staunch atheism has no real place among the homeless, in my experience as a homeless person. If anybody should curse God and the lack of his existence it is someone living under a fucking bridge. However, there are a lot of shelters and kitchens that are attached to churches that will feed you and give you a bed, usually at the price of listening to a 20 minute to an hour sermon. If you're such a staunch anti-believer that you can't listen to someone speak for a bit in order to get FOOD and SHELTER than you're a fucking moron. I'm agnostic and I'd gladly listen to that shit if it meant getting a bomb ass piece of chicken and a cot to sleep in.

[Atramental]

Now-a-days fundies and theocrats are the only religious folk that grind my gears.

Moderate to liberal religious people are okay in my book but... I still probably wouldn't have kids with a moderately religious woman.

[Shadow Mod]

Being raised in a religious household is the same as being raised a neo-nazi 

[Atramental]

Yeah. Angry Fork's comparison is stupid.

I got married in my wife's childhood church and baptized my daughter. It's important to her, doesn't really bother me either way.

Real talk. harSon has to make everything a racist thing at times.

Okay, I take it back Atra. This is the best .gif this week. Though you get a consolation prize of "could be best animated .gif this week but is ruined by fuck awful text flashing skills."

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

harSon's family is loaded.  I suspect he feels guilty about being rich and insulated so he overcompensates.  It's kind of like when Drinky Crow mentions that he is middle class in spite of pulling down $200,000+ a year.  People have weird hangups about money, especially in politically left leaning forums, almost like they have to apologize for being affluent.  I say fuck it, you don't need to brag about it, but I wouldn't feel sorry about making bank either.

[Atramental]

I didn't make that gif though. 

Maybe this weekend I'll fiddle around in my adobe creative suite and make one that doesn't flash.

[thisismyusername]

I also just read that thread and want to HarrisonFordWhoGivesAShit.gif it so hard.

Both her family and my family wants this kid baptized at an really age and being and active participant in my GF’s church. This gives her a bit of an unfair advantage BUT that is not the reason I want to keep the conversation between me and her.

I dunno why his family is on her side outside of "what is the big fuckin' deal?" but that seems kinda scuzzy to me.

As for the whole issue: I'd say let her take her to the baptism. Kid won't even remember it if she's still a baby so the wife "wins" in a sense of having the child baptized, but I'd put my foot down on her taking the child to church. As it is, the wife's offer of holidays and the baptism is the most reasonable thing and he's being a dick in trying to make it about the child (admirable but really... kid won't even remember this)'s right.

However:

The situation takes a drastic turn, she threatens our relationship. Not out front right away but this little comments like “I think this can make or break us” “I view you differently” “I will hate you if we don’t baptize her.”

Bitch be cray with just that line.

Frankly, they're both fucking stupid. Him for not letting her do it, her for not seeing his point of view that it should be the daughters decision and she should be baptized only for her soul to be at ease. But really the most important lesson in that thread is: don't stick your dick in crazy and then have a kid with crazy. Or better phrased: Don't have a kid if you both aren't on the same ground/mind-views of important things such as religion.
