    My original reply was on the mistake that your comment was a reply to UnderpantsWeevil . Once I realized that wasn’t the case, I deleted it.

    Your original comment has changed dramatically from what I remember since then as well, so …

    I honestly could barely remember that there were two, let alone which was better.

    I do remember the better one was pointlessly more expensive. For the same price, I could usually get twice as many CD-Rs when I needed more, although it might come down to whether I wanted them with cases or on a spindle.







  • If you read what I wrote, open source social media is also easier to consume and interact with in the manner I described. Usenet, e-mail, IRC, forums, even private messaging and group-chats are both healthier to interact with and less demanding of our time than “services” that bury the content we want to see like facebook and the rest.

    Every single one is still around and in use by the same people who built the internet and others who get more done for themselves and open-source projects than you or I or most of us on Lemmy and the more modern de-federated schemes.

    … and who is going to tell someone that when they’ve socially isolated themselves by taking time off for an extended period?

    The only time I’ve seen a therapist more often than weekly or bi-weekly was in a short stint in rehab. No way, no how, does normal therapy replace daily contact with others.

    Also, most people aren’t assertive, informed, or motivated enough to seek a second professional opinion, and that’s before we throw grief into the equation. Congrats on describing all-too-many therapists with your last line as well.



  • That one word is doing a lot of heavy lifting on its own, until what follows contradicts what you’ve said. If you don’t have the words, a therapist’s questions and prompts and what-not aren’t really doing all that much to break the silence, nor to promote healing until you’re ready to participate. sometimes
