This is why breaking your pasta is fascist

I have some pots and pans and a little bit of dirt

I feel like leftists have a massive tool available to us in the Bible that is greatly underutilized because of Soviet state atheism

good

When u are feeling better shortly we will all be like

Lmfao you called it. Literally everyone on Earth is celebrating this guy except for Hexbear mods

Scrooge McDuck gets the

Please make this a site tagline lmfao

I sure hope so, 2024 fuckin took me for a ride

She has been saying this since 2007, when she threatened to report undocumented immigrants who wanted to get driver’s licenses

Ya I was just being a goof lol. Interesting about c vs c₀ tho, never seen that usage before

get addicted to housing prices?

actually, light speed c is only achieved in a vacuum…

No I had the same thought lol I was like what kind of shitty budget radar waves DON’T operate at light speed?

Thank u for recognizing that and restoring the post. It is inoffensive and does not violate the CoC, and mods using their permissions to dictate that the site can only be used as defined by the caprice of the mods is exactly why everyone has been pissed at mods recently.

Also, wow, the CoC is very well written and should be quoted and cited way more. We could have really saved a lot of struggle, both from users, mods, and admins, if everyone adhered to: if this site is not fun for you right now, log off and come back later.

I just don’t think “our society is garbage and our tools are useless” is a helpful thing to contribute to the conversation, and it sounds defeatist and pessimistic.

Yes, talk therapy ALONE is insufficient to end world capitalism. Yes, many of the problems people discuss in therapy are directly caused by the exploitative and rapacious nature of our economic system. Yes, talk therapy itself is captured in the privatized health care system if you are in . No one of us can resolve that, and the leftist utopia we dream of is unlikely to be rendered in our lifetimes.

HOWEVER, if a person is suffering from persistent depression that reduces their capacity to experience joy in life and to contribute to the projects they want to contribute to, ESPECIALLY if thoughts of self harm are present, they should absolutely explore all available treatment options.

Nobody is saying “don’t put a cast on your broken leg bc our society sucks”, mental healthcare is no different.

I don’t want to say anything else on this topic bc this conversation is very upsetting to me, feel free to have the last word or whatever.

Would you rather I had just killed myself? Sorry for not consulting you in my treatment program, the prescription is obviously to overthrow global capitalism myself in my lifetime.

All-or-nothing thinking is counterproductive. When you have a wound, do you just let it get infected, or do you apply first aid?

Maybe leave it alone when my response was clearly trying to help a comrade who is suffering? Inappropriate

Fuck now I want borscht so bad

I want to be very clear that YES, this is the depression talking. Everything you described is real and frustrating but not insurmountable and it sounds like you are starting out in a down place before looking at each.

If you are not in therapy I would seriously suggest looking into it to try to learn coping skills to pull out of negative moods. If books are your thing I really really rely on the methods in David Burns’s Feeling Good. At very least I think it is helpful to be vocal with someone you trust and who loves you about the kinds of moods you can fall into. Don’t inflict it on them but just try to describe neutrally, and maybe tell them they don’t need to solve it but just listen at first.

Also Seasonal Affective Disorder is real.

Sorry if any/all of this is already very obvious to you, maybe it will help someone else in the future also.
