I didn’t say anything about gender, and I agree with everything in your comment. In addition, I maintain that the original post’s divide-and-conquer victim-blaming is one of the worst possible takes on the fact that accessing mental health care (in the US) is harder than performing esoteric medieval alchemy.
- Comment on MEN. 1 week ago:
All right, either:
- try to decide what kind of therapist is needed (difficult)
- figure out what kind of therapy/therapists are covered by insurance (time-consuming and stressful, sometimes impossible)
- provide a bunch of private information (time-consuming, difficult, and stressful)
- look through a list of relevant therapists nearby (usually easy)
- try to identify one that you might relate to or at least be able to deal with (very difficult, sometimes impossible)
- call them up one at a time to see if they’re really accepting new patients (time-consuming and stressful)
- try to find a regular time that works in your schedule for the new therapist and for other obligations (difficult)
- again provide a bunch of private information (time-consuming, difficult, and stressful)
- go meet with the therapist. try to get along with them because if you don’t it’s your fault and you have to start all over (difficulty varies, sometimes impossible)
- do all this while dealing with whatever problem you need therapy for (difficulty varies, sometimes impossible)
Or:
- access Paracelsus: paracelsus-project.org (easy)
- translate: translate.google.com (easy)
- distill potions: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrrbGRIOhCw (easy)
I know the wording’s a meme, but the hell with whoever made the original post. Fuckem.

- Comment on The city is so lively 1 week ago:
@rabber@lemmy.ca to be specific, !fuckcars@lemmy.world is “A place to discuss problems of car centric infrastructure or how it hurts us all.” The key word there is “infrastructure”.
Cars are amazing technological achievements, but many places have very poor infrastructure that is too focused on ONLY supporting cars (often single-passenger). This causes a variety of problems as discussed in that community. In fact, if we had better infrastructure you’d be able to enjoy driving even more because there’d be less traffic.
“Fuck cars” is a bit of a misleading name, but I guess it’s catchier than “hooray infrastructure”.
- Comment on The city is so lively 1 week ago:
Upvoted. I disagree, and I think we need fewer cars and more public transportation, but if you don’t like that community by all means block it.
- Comment on Anon misses the classic design 1 week ago:
Interesting question.
The stick design provides leverage for throwing longer distances, but at the cost of additional weight and length, and has been considered obsolete by western countries since the Second World War and Cold War periods.

- Comment on Anon saved Portugal last month 1 week ago:
Yeah you can almost see the real story screaming out in despair between the lines. Some soulless drone working for electrical company got called out to fix a power line, and on the way they saw a block party going on. They think: wouldn’t it be awesome to join that party instead of having to work. But no they go to work and it takes forever and when they finally figure it out, it was just one loose cable. On the drive back they keep dreaming about that block party.

!vampires@lemmy.zip, Vampires, 27 => 135, 98 posts (5 this week)Nice. For those that don’t know, @Zagorath@aussie.zone is posting the classic novel Dracula “as it occurs” because it’s an epistolary novel i.e. written as if was a series of diary entries or postal letters which begins in May and ends in a couple months. Anyway we’re currently in a several-days delay, so it’s a great time to catch up!

- Comment on Don't ask for more pixels 3 weeks ago:
Still trying to wrap my head around how a partial ordering plays out here. I think it’s fair to say that for any such nonempty spectrum, there exists at least one person about whom it can be said: “nobody is gayer than they are.” Right? (even if 1 or more people are equally gay…)
- Comment on slugs 3 weeks ago:
Chad, slugs are just snails without houses. Real American slugs build barns for each other and then they’re free snails. European slugs get government housing and then the French eat them. Think about that for a while.

Something to try: keep a bucket of water nearby for those “difficult” flushing situations. If you really want conservation points, fill the bucket with your shower run-off.

- Comment on velosaur 4 weeks ago:
The equation produced a large number of speedraptors, but only the velociraptors survived over evolutionary time, because the non-velocity-aware speedraptors kept chasing their prey in the wrong direction.
- Comment on Is it weird to juggle in the park? 4 weeks ago:
I used to have some friends who were jugglers, I’d hang out when they’d practice in the park and even learned a couple simple patterns. Occasionally someone would stop by and say hi and say that they were a juggler too or something. The only time anyone objected was when one of them started to juggle flaming torches at night, a security guard asked him to stop. But in general it was no more/less weird than throwing a frisbee. (this was in the midwest USA, dunno about other parts of the world.)
