  A lot more than just the economy, it’s like a law of nature. Even language itself obeys it

  Yeah, I think in fairness most therapists would agree that many things are therapeutic outside of therapy. In fact many therapists do see themselves as a sort of emergency solution but not something you regularly need in the way you regularly need to brush your teeth. Pop-psychology randos online may act like therapy is nonnegotiable, but I fear that this then results in people attributing those claims to actual therapists and discrediting what is indeed a very valuable thing that (IMO) most people could benefit from. Unfortunately few people can read well enough to even get through the first chapter of any non-contemporary writing (even when its not philosophical), and therapists do also have a lot of scientific knowledge as well.

  We must know different people. In my social circles, I know a bunch of people who would really benefit from therapy and think that climbing a mountain and reading Nietzsche is all they need. And honestly, that may be true, but they don’t actually end up doing either of those things because they found them too difficult. Which brings me back to like “maybe first just talk to the person whose whole expertise is to help you with this”.

  Its a middle ground. Therapy is not a necessity or silver bullet, its also not useless or a scam. And in my experience the people who insist they don’t need it are the ones who need it most

  It ain’t sophistry, you are the one who claimed identity between the two things

  So what you’re really saying is therapy IS great and vital and people have been getting therapy this whole time but just not calling it that

  Okay can you link me to some of those or articles summarizing them?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fat bastard for president⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There is no evidence of it, its a rumor perpetuated by morons who think that since raping children wasn’t enough to get the powerful in trouble there must be something even worse that will.

  I say this because every time myself or others have asked for a link to the files thay insinuate eating children or even to an article about it all we get back is “it’s soooo easy to find bro just go find it yourself smh”.

  My original comment was just a meme, it was intended postironically as I was trying to play off the obvious ambiguities in your post. I didn’t mean it seriously one way or the other, sorry for any emotional harm done

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikimedia Will Not Voluntarily Recognize Union a Supermajority of Its Workers Want⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is definitely one of the more disappointing pieces of news I’ve read in a while. It’s not like I thought the Wikimedia Foundation was a paragon of virtue and justice, but I thought they would at least be better than this. It seems like there really aren’t very many good employers left in the tech industry ( I understand the Wikimedia Foundation covers more than tech). I really need something global remote, but… Eesh. Starting to think the better bet is to get into independent contracting for smaller businesses or something…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨📡📡📡⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I love fashion and I think high end clothes are priced way more appropriately than anyone here probably wants to admit, and I have huge respect for the artistry and craft that goes into it. But a handbag is definitely not a much more complex piece of engineering…at best they could be relatively similar for certain bags. The price difference is because a lot of bags need more manual involvement by decently paid workers rather than factory slaves. And because the artists doing the designing also get a solid salaryas that is the primary aspect of the product. Whereas monitor designs are comparatively not so demanding to dream up and not as important.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If everyone in power is racist, a pedophile, and just all-around hates poor people, happiness, and everything that's good, then how do we keep winning?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Its because the title of your post sounds like you presume we keep winning, and therefore are implying that it’s not true that everyone in power is xyz etc.

  The second paragraph of the body of your post reveals that you don’t actually think that, which means the title is misleading.

  The first paragraph is naïve, but that’s fair given the community.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🎶I keep dancing on my own🎶⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That isn’t the part that’s supposed to be funny, though. The joke is fundamentally about the linguistic ambiguity of “would you like to dance” typically implying “with me”. It’s something most people take for granted. So like, presented in a standup format the joke would be something like:

  “Have you ever noticed that if someone asks you if you’d like to dance… They’re not saying anything about dancing together? (Audience chuckles)”

  You could even structure the joke in such a way that it doesn’t involve someone being a jerk, maybe you’d find that more palatable. E.g:

  “So anyways, one time at the club this gorgeous lady asks me if I’d like to dance. And I’m thinking, well, sure I guess. So I went up to the floor and started… (Comedian dances ridiculously, audience laughs). And when I look back at her she looks at me like I just killed her dog or something! (Audience in shambles) and that’s when I realized… Oh! You meant like… (Comedian points back and forth between himself and audience)…together? Well why didn’t you just say so?! (Audience collectively dies from laughter)”

  If you couldn’t tell I don’t really like standup, lol. But the point is that the joke isn’t about misleading someone or being a jerk. Its fundamentally a language joke.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Badge of Honor⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It matters because tesseract was/is used by some large instances, so the tesseract dev was secretly censoring content from thousands of users without their knowledge and even without the knowledge of the instance admins. It’s a pretty big deal because this means that a lot of people on Lemmy have been getting a highly censored view of the community without realizing it. A lot of those people, probably even most of them, came to Lemmy specifically to get away from that kind of thing. So its really shady, a huge breach of trust, and this single dev has been covertly influencing thousands of people’s political exposure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Meaning in that sense is an ill-defined term which on careful inspection has no sensical quality. Saying life is or isn’t meaningful is like saying “life is/isn’t blwodjtnfyhc”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨and what?!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it pretty accurately hits the vibe of government secret projects in that it simultaneously sounds harmless and a little silly, while also being vague and unusual enough to have a certain foreboding to it. E.g “the gadget”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Team Snapchat still shows up in my notifications even though I have them blocked⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Definitely an annoying situation, I guess maybe you could try posting about the problems that you see with Snapchat, like with articles and whatnot, whenever you have a chance, and maybe just trying to get them to change their stance on it. For me personally, leaving Snapchat was a privacy and ethics choice - and anyone who wouldn’t respect that, good riddance. I only really have two friends myself. I enjoy it usually. I get to spend lots more time with them, and an exchange have a deeper connection. Its not for everyone though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Team Snapchat still shows up in my notifications even though I have them blocked⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe you could keep talking them on Snapchat, but also on the other platform too. Are they really just completely unwilling to get on something like signal? you don’t even need to make an account really

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Team Snapchat still shows up in my notifications even though I have them blocked⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I was in the same situation as you. Just message them elsewhere and delete it. Everyone who wasn’t willing to message me on a better platform turned out to not be that worth interacting with. All the real ones did what they could to keep talking to me without hesitation and respected my reasoning

  By making products less artistic and more designed-by-committee, they were able to make products that are just barely purchase-worthy to hundreds of millions of players, rather than products that merely millions truly love. It doesn’t surprise me, this is exactly what Hollywood figured out long ago. Games industry sure is maturing alright…

  Maybe I’m not understanding something, but isn’t this only an issue regarding setting up certs on your server? Https isn’t working because you have no SSL certs installed. Unless that was supposed to happen automatically with one of those other tools?
