A lot of psychology and psychiarty is not proper science. I’m not saying it doesn’t have value, but people should be sceptical. Of course, don’t go the other way and join scientology.

I think a lot of mental health problems are due to SLS.

If suspect that if we gave the mentally ill 2k and told them to go on a nice holiday, buy some healthy food, take care of their most urgent bills, many of them would be better off than after a mandatory hold in an underfunded mental health ward or a prescription of xanax from an overworked general practicioner.

High quality mental health care is probably far better, but that’s not what most people have access to.

Heard similarly bad stories from Scandinavia, of all places. If you’re vulnerable, it’s very easy to fall between the cracks, with doctors who abuse their power or make bad mistakes.

Also, the replication crisis really undermines psychology’s claims to scientific knowledge.

Of course, I’m not a scientologist, so I’m not going to claim that people shouldn’t go to see a mental health professional. Anti-depressants do work, therapy can and often does work, but as you say you really need to do your resaerch beforehand, and preferably have family or friends to defend your interests. Otherwise you’ll fall between the cracks just when you’re at your most vulnerable.

Same goes for elderly homes. Personally, I think I’ll kill myself before I ever get that far. If you don’t have family to check up on you, you’re quite likely to be neglected, exploited or abused.

When diplomacy fails, there’s only one alternative. Violence. Force must be applied without apology. It’s the Starfleet way.

Hush now. It will be over soon. The gas will make you sleep.

You should host the internet.

It’s weird how drama free kbin seems to be. Perhaps because we’re still smaller

Some of it is also the nature of the fediverse. For example, you’ll sometimes see people complaining about having to see the same story multiple times.

The exact same article will be posted on technology@lemmy.ml, technology@lemmy.world, technology@beehaw.org, etc. etc. Or you won’t get to see stories depending on which instance you’re using, because server A has chosen not to (no longer) federate with server B, which means you need an account with multiple networks to see the whole fediverse, despite the fediverse supposedly being interconnected.

That’s off-putting to many users, but I don’t know if there’s a way to change that easily, because these kinds of things are arguably part and parcel of the fediverse.

An entire generation has grown up not expecting privacy. It’s their normal.

Denies there is such a thing as a Ukrainian instance.

Everything dies.

Kbin allows you to block an entire instance.
