  • And it's fine to continue to operate in the US.But if it doesn't abide by EU laws then it can't operate in the EU.

    America doesn't set the worlds laws

  • I'd vote for the EU in a heartbeat.I'd be fine with the euro, actually going full metric.

  • My first GP phonecall to get an in-person appointment resulted in a tiny piece of paper with suicide/help hotlines, and an ADHD form.I was worried about ADHD and Bipolar. I wasn't myself. At all. It got pretty bad.

    After an in person appointment and me failing to fill in my form (edit: or not filling it in correctly, I guess?), a referral to a psychiatrist wasn't justified and I heard no more.

    I eventually seeked private healthcare for this.And proper private healthcare, not that fucking "better health" or whatever that YouTube ad is. From actual doctors from an actual clinic.After a 1 hour consultation and £300, I felt listened to.The psychiatrist identified both ADHD and Bipolar traits, but said they were not significant enough compared to the depression. Treat the depression first, then circle back to the other possible issues.

    6 months on SNRIs, and I can't believe the difference.I don't feel like I'm struggling with memory loss. The traits I thought could be ADHD (hyperfocus sessions and yet easily distracted - exclusively) became manageable. The every day tasks suddenly were accomplishable. I haven't tracked my mood very closely, but I'm either on a 2 month hypomania streak or this is actually just what I'm normally like and I can't remember what feeling normal actually is. So maybe any bipolar I do have isn't impacting my life so much.

    It took 6 months between the GP disappointment and seeking private care for it.It's the best fucking £300 I've ever spent.The reason I got there, as opposed to accepting the GPs diagnosis, was a colleague talked about their experience. They talked about their depression, a failed visit to a GP, seeking a 2nd opinion, getting meds, and turning their life around.They said "don't stop until you feel heard. Don't stop until you agree with the doctor".

  • Don't stop until you get help.I'm lucky to have a colleague who identified I was depressed, and had gone through a similar scenario.Don't stop until you feel you've been heard, until you've been listened to, until you agree with the doctor.Don't fucking stop

  • This would be the correct response when you met them.Which shows you have the right idea.

    Instead of this comment, which is victim blaming.You are presenting yourself as the same as all the other characters in the comic.

    The correct response would be "none of the other characters told them to get help, or tried to help them".

  • Yeh, mental health issues are just health issues.It took me a while to realise that. A broken brain (whether Alzheimer's, chronic depression or whatever) is just like a broken leg (or broken arm, or chronic back pain or whatever).

    You don't ask someone with a broken leg or chronic back pain to help you move house.I guess it's easier to tell when someone has a physical injury, which probably removes some of the stigma around talking about it.

  • Excel is great.It does so much that people make it do what it shouldn't, and never think to explore technologies beyond it... Like a proper fucking database.Then you get garbage business systems based on fragile excel sheets with bonkers macros and weird ETL pipelines to sync things.And never try to deal with dates and timezones.

  • Trump election win: They turned against Kamala Harris. They’re about to find out if it was worth it.

  • I know a lot of FOH engineer that can design an array hang, dial in delays, do crazy sub array stuff, manage a Dante network, AND make a band sound good.They are quite comfortable as FOH, systems, monitors RF or even just a patch monkey.

    Just because a lot of people that call themselves sound engineers can't do that, doesn't mean nobody is a sound engineer.I get that engineer is a protected term, but the majority of those apply to disciplines that have been around for centuries not 70 decades.

    Original sound engineer would make their own kit. So they were probably electrical engineers, applying their knowledge to sound.

    Be an audio tech. That's cool. I'd rather be on a gig with someone I consider a sound engineer tho.

  • It's not difficult to define.It's about people's choices.

    People can choose to own a gun, choose to want to own a gun, choose to own a whole armoury.I think owning a gun is stupid. I live in a country that successfully regulates guns.Saying "I think gun owners are stupid" isn't hate speech because they have chosen to own a gun.If I said "gun owners should use their guns in themselves" that becomes hate speech because it's wishing harm on them.

    People choose to be Republicans, trumps choices in life are why he is where he is.Hate trump because of what he does, not because he has blonde hair.

    People don't choose to be gay, or be trans, or be Jewish, or be black, or be short or whatever.Which is another way opinions can become hate speech.If I said "I think gun owners are stupid" that isn't hate speech.If I said "I think black people are stupid" that becomes hate speech because it is grouping people by something they have no control over.

  • Porn is performed by consenting adults and consumed by consenting adults.That's why porn made from human trafficking, revenge porn (ie leaking nudes of an ex) etc are illegal in most sane countries.The idea being that porn doesn't hurt anyone.

    Hate speech is harmful. It's purpose is to hurt people.So yeh, it should be illegal.I have no issues discussing hate speech. I do have issues with hate speech being used.
