I think with the original source being verified, that’s good enough to check. Thanks for identifying it. Much appreciated.

Not that I don’t believe what’s being said here, but can anybody who speaks Hebrew confirm the subtitles are accurate translations?

I was only there a month. I can’t claim to be any kind of expert. But I do know I wound up eating two sausages.

I’m still trying to wrap my head around the Czech Republic, where apparently holding up a single index finger means 2.

I suppose that’s a fair point. I can’t make the claim I know that.

Look, I’m just a sympathetic ear. All I’m saying is, when people post these kinds of things, they’re likely not looking for platitudes or advice. If they wanted that, the title of the post would’ve been “someone help me”. It’s okay to let people vent about a situation that sucks for them without telling them all of the things you think they should be doing differently.

Okay, maybe this is true.
It’s also possible you’re talking to someone in the long tail of that bell curve who is already taking care of themselves. You are making a of assumptions and your attempt to push responsibility onto him when he may in fact be in the lowest percent of that bell curve, and if he is, your well-intentioned controversial opinion is like throwing salt in his wounds.
People always just assume they can do this with this problem. If someone has mental health issues, they tell them to seek help. If someone has physical issues, they tell them to see a doctor. If they have relationship issues, “Oh, it’s all your fault, man. Work on yourself.” even in the absence of ANY evidence.
I know it’s uncomfortable to think about the people in that bottom 1% of the bell curve who are completely helpless and overwhelmed, but victim blaming isn’t a good way to deal with it.

If you’re realistic about that disappointment, this is a feature, not a downside.
