  • The trauma that's objectively had the largest impact on my life, though I had no idea until well into adulthood, is one that I want no apology for, nor would it in any way be helpful for my mental health nor physical freedom. Unfortunately, the wounds caused to my neurological pathways are too fundamental to "heal" but learning more about my thought processes and building healthy coping strategies to compensate for unhelpful instincts helps.

    The meme is a lovely thought though and I genuinely hope that it applies in a straightforward way to the majority of people.

  • Obliterating ecosystems that provide necessary food to human beings, while we're (not meaningfully) dealing with other anthropogenic collapses of the aquatic biosphere is not really a good choice. A better alternative would be to seize the vessel and its cargo to sell for reparations for Putin's war.

  • Thank you for candidly answering people's questions. It's been interesting to read through. It also has made very clear to me that, while I wasn't intending on it, escorting would not be a career that my brain could handle and demonstrating that you're profession deserves a hell of a lot more respect.

  • He has too much slaver (for-profit prison) support to even come close to that.

  • Beat me to it.

  • where are all these Utopian "red cities" that people are apparently in favor of?

    They do not and can not exist. Conservatism is an antisocial and anti-intellectual, authoritarian ideology. This pretty much rules it out of success in most conventional metrics.

  • And that was signed by Trump.

  • This is exactly why I ended up in tech, despite actually getting a degree relevant to biochem/industrial microbiology. I graduated during the height of the Recession and decided not to go into academia, despite my love of data and research, because they stopped hiring tenure-track at most institutions, replacing them with adjuncts with minimal pay and benefits (even for academia) and poor bastards on the post-grad treadmill.

    I fucking hate it and know that I'm not the only person who has been forced out of a research career by these objectively harmful-to-humanity economic policies.

  • Hah. I know likely comedic misunderstanding but, in case it was not clear, the 27-year-old pedo was the gross one.

  • Just like last time when he caused over a million excess deaths and committed literal acts of piracy against blue states trying to get PPE.

  • Yeah. It sure was "fun" competing with people with decades of experience and advanced degrees right after graduation. I hope that our generation and those after us are able to course correct and undo the bullshit that Boomers have inflicted upon humanity.

    Note: Not generation war (no war but class war) but unfortunate reality. Boomers overwhelmingly supported neo-liberal politicians that to pulled up the ladder behind them and robbed future generations in exchange for short-term gains.

  • They could be extensions of the scapula. This would make the renditions where pegasus appears to be galloping while flying more accurate.

  • Yeah. That was my experience as well. An adult dating a highschooler was a skeezy loser who peaked in middle school.

  • I got you.

  • Gross.

  • As others have stated, it's general advice. I think that it is worth stating anyway because there is still stigma around mental health conditions and treatments.

    As for curing depression, it really depends on the type and cause of depression. Some people have differences in their brains that cause chemical imbalances that need medication and therapy to address. Some people come down with the mental health equivalent of the flu and need support to get through it. A mental health professional like a therapist or psychiatrist is trained to diagnose and formulate a treatment plan based upon what is observed.

    Depression can be fatal and I've known too many people who've succumbed to it. So, I will always recommend therapy to anyone going through depression, if they can afford it - sometimes sliding scales are available.

  • COBRA is a fucking joke so that they can claim that you have the "option" to get health insurance while being completely unaffordable.

  • sudo systemctl stop sawtrapd

  • The bravery of... Throwing LGBTQ+ people under the bus and trying to force violent conflict. Nah. I don't buy it.
