No shit. Poor people (who are more likely to have mental health challenges) stop going to therapy if they cannot afford it? Get these scientists a nobel prize

To be fair: I am currently reading “how high we go in the dark” by Sequoia Namamatsu. It’s so sad. It’s speculative fiction, but everything is too real and too sad.
Being an adult means also confrontation with sad topics
Aber ist das hier nicht der beste Ort dafür? Statt einer anderen Gruppe oder Messenger?
Stell doch deine Fragen, du wirst sehen, es gibt meistens hilfsbereite Menschen
You’re just talking to be correct? Fine, you’re right. Have a peaceful life
That’s beside the point. If you only care about your hygiene because of others, you’re neglecting your own comfort. I’m not wearing deodorant, for example, because I don’t want to. I’m still not smelly in the negative sense (yes I asked), because I take showers regularly - and I take showers regularly because I care about my own body
I don’t agree in the slightest. Because if you care, you won’t do that probably. Self care is not about others, but about yourself, hence “self”. If you only bathe, are gentle, dress… because of others, maybe you have different issues
Provide alternatives, educate about the negative AND positive uses of smart devices, help them use their phones for productive and useful stuff. Give them space and time to figure it out. Help them reflect on how using the device makes them feel. And sometimes, yes: take it away Edit: forgot my qualifications: I’m a childhood educator and work with school kids
That was also a great first step for me. Also I bought a wall clock and an egg timer in the kitchen. Putting my phone on loud actually helps sometimes, so I don’t randomly check it, but only check it if it actually has a notification
“Stop worrying what other people think” is bad advice anyway. It’s not like that’s a possibility for people with anxiety. Give concrete advice: self affirmation, reflective writing, journaling positive feedback…
No the issue is literally the micro rentals. Because before that, we had couchsurfing. Which was all the great things about spending time in a different city staying with locals WITHOUT stupid infrastructure to fuck up the whole country
I mean I don’t like what they’re doing to the housing market, yes, they’re inflating housing prices by reducing the incentive to sell, and there’s a housing crisis basically everywhere right now.
errrr…you said it right here. AirBnB is created to do exactly that. the product isn’t good. the product is designed to create inflated housing prices. to make landlords even more rich and more able to exploit poor people. look at some tourist-y cities, where the original residents can no longer live in their houses, because it’s SO MUCH more profitable to rent per day on airbnb than to have normal rents. airbnb doesn’t provide anything. it doesn’t add anything positive. hotels are too expensive, maybe. but they have a service. they have some guarantees, room service, food, you’re guaranteed to have a room to sleep in by yourself. NONE of these are guaranteed with AirBnB. you can easily rent a room where you have to sleep with another person, clean up by yourself, pay stupid deposits,…
what even is ONE positive out of Airbnb?
not sure? I got one superlike to use for free a week. is that a regional thing? i have never paid for OkC in my life.
I’m holding the torch for OkCupid. I’ve met my SOs there. Many queer folk, leftists, likes work reasonably well and you even get free “superlikes” once a week. Messages are free, likes are free.
So much Love for David Tennant<3
Nah, I’m an okay person. Sure I do bad things. I make mistakes and have problematic behaviour patterns from time to time. But I am working on it. That’s what makes a “good” or “bad” person. It’s almost never about what you do but mostly about intent and willingness to learn
Oh man. So many and so much. Most of the “comedy” from the 80s, 90s, early 2000s is unwatchable. Older movies are sometimes straight up disgusting. I think it’s a sign for how we grow as a society to be more aware of the sexism, racism and other forms of disrespect that has been sold as comedy or just as “normal”. I consume much more consciously and through a more meta lense. For reference: I’m turning 40 this year
Could it? Could it possibly do that? Are you sure?
Well I have 4 decades already and I’ve read a lot of books. Light and heavy. Because that’s what life and art is about. I don’t believe in comfort food all the time. Sometimes you just need the poetry of hardship.
