Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Those of you who cut off all comms with your parents, what would it take to mend things and reestablish contact?
2·8 days agoAbsolutely nothing for both parents. No contact has turned into safety for not just me, but others in my life. if I introduced contact with my parents, it would turn into contact with even more evil people.

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Jesus was a historical person. This doesn’t mean Christianity is correct, but there is sufficient historical evidence and most mainstream scholars of the era agree on this.English
0·9 days agoSure, a man like Jesus was inevitably real. He just didn’t have powers, due to powers being impossible.

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•I don't care about the Epstein Files.English
1·9 days agoWhat I find very frustrating is the epstien jokes. A man forcing kids and women down and forcing his dick inside is not funny and never will be funny.Same with Diddy. Imo I think you do care. You’re just as frustrated as I am.

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•All smoking should be banned in all public spacesEnglish
0·10 days agoUnfortunately, I see two sides to this. Upsides:Decreases normalisation of smoking, which in theory could lead to less smokers. Encourages more of an ‘anti-smoke’ society, again, leading to less smokers. And more spoken about, less secondhand exposure. All of these would lead to less deaths. Downsides:Adults could feel paternalistic. Autonomy would be affected, even if it would objectively help. I do believe it would be worth it to stop smoking being so convenient.
Taking meds is a form of self care.
MangiantZ32@lemmy.nztoMental Health@lemmy.world•The largest study to date on antidepressants is conclusive: They must be discontinued slowly and with therapyEnglish
1·10 days agoI believe antidepressants can be so helpful for the right person. I think an issue we are facing is an overuse of them. Antidepressants are prescribed quite a bit, to the point people who could live without them are taking them. I also believe we should try to keep people who struggle mentally alive as best as we can, and antidepressants can positively contribute to that. My experience with them hasn’t been too amazing, though that’s from me being bipolar.

It feels pretty horrible to love someone a lot,then be ignored for months. But, the way to go about it is to tell someone you’re unavailable for a bit.
