  • … 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 many therapists with you 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

    BTDT. Having a routine is conditioning we do to ourselves, but for so much of life, its the most useful thing ever zfor so long as we can keep it up.* The trick is to not be further hurt by guilt for failing to continue with it or get back to it quickly enoug/“just so”.








  • Yes. Theirs remains a country worth defending, from a credible, external threat, and the bulk of the potential victims were both allowed to leave and given reasonable options for places to flee to at the outset.

    Personally, I’m more worried about most of my friends and family being coerced/tricked to the wrong side than being victimized - merely being deported as a white person would be a win in this sick, sad, world. The contrast was literally the point of my comment.

    Basically, if the app developers bother to maintain their own repository, there is no reason for other f-droid repositories to waste storage and bandwidth on duplicating them and constantly checking to be sure its the latest versions of those apps that have been copied. This is a feature, not a bug, in systems like f-droid.

    That said, f-droid could stand to add a directory for known-good repositories, or listings for apps that pull from such repositories without requiring you or I to manually type in a url or scan a QR code, but end of the day, its free softwaree maintained by volunteers.

    Many apps on Linux work the same way; However, in my experience, once you’ve downloaded and installed an application’s .deb, tar.gz, whatever, it will offer to add its repositories to your package manager’s sources, whereas on Android, once you install an .apk, it stays that version until you install a newer version manually or let the Play store or whatever over-write it.
