Yeah I love Mac OS. Granted I’m running an old version so who knows how the current OS is but I’m happy with what I have and probably won’t replace it for some time.

I used to work as a designer, the constant need to update my equipment to stay current with software made me leave the profession (not to mention adobes money grabbing bullshit). I can’t afford to spend a few grand every couple years just to freelance and have my income wildly fluctuate. Since I wasn’t able or willing to keep up with the expensive updates i quit entirely and now I’m too outdated in the software used these days to be hired even though I have all the theory and knowledge sitting in my brain.

The joys of being an American graduating into the 2008 recession and never getting a proper job that I studied for. Or having the pay expectations from employers who are used to hiring freelancers from third world countries and think indentured servant labor is acceptable over here. Fuck this country and fuck capitalism with a fucking cactus.

I grew up in the 90s. I prefer apple I had windows for years, endless problems. Macs just work and last forever. My Mac before 2015 was a 2007.

And no, I’m not installing Linux.

I’m running a 2015 MacBook Pro still. I’m not spending $2k+ on a computer again anytime soon.

Similar for me. In so many words, a JFK quote paraphrased. Make peaceful reform impossible and violent revolution becomes inevitable. Banned at the IP address level.

That therapist needs to lose their license yesterday.

My conclusion is that therapists are only for people with superficial problems not actual issues that require tangible solutions.

My experience as well although I really want to try trauma therapy…

Using AI for therapy sounds incredibly fucking dangerous

I can’t for the life of me figure out why you’re being downvoted. It’s absolutely true. Maybe it’s because people don’t understand what you mean by “liberal elites”? That’s not a synonym for democrat voters. It’s people who have been served by the status quo (neoliberalism) their whole lives and therefore see nothing wrong with it. Conservatives (especially the never trump or ambivalent about trump types) are just right wing liberals… conservatism falls under liberalism.

Liberal ≠ left.

*doctor who works for a health insurance company denying claims in a field of healthcare they have no experience or education in

Ironic, considering most of us who need therapy struggle with relationships

As someone who’s had a uh… not great experience with mental health care, this story is totally believable to me.

I came of age before smart phones in NY. We had sex education. We had late night fuzzy adult TV stations that had porn on them and we had porno mags and what not. I got my first phone at 14 and it was an LG flip phone where you had to press the numbers multiple times to get the right letter to send a text, so texts were short. No internet or camera on the phone either. The iPhone came out in 2007, the same year I graduated high school. There were some proto “smart” phones that came out before like the blackberry and the sidekick but their “smart” features like the internet were cumbersome to use.

It was definitely different times but by no means were we living in the dark about sex, and society pushed sex pretty hard because it sells. Now I guess with the constant screen bombardment it feels inescapable but that’s tech in 2024 for ya.

Slightly unrelated, I’d be thrilled to get a blackberry similar to the one I had in college only add todays cameras, gps, spotify and snake for boredom and I’d be set.

7. The story is bisexual and has a quantum physics relationship with the truth

Thanks I’ll check it out

The revolution will not be televised nor discussed in appropriate forums but will instead be memed!

Fuckers!

Btw I got banned from world by stating the fact that joe Lieberman (former US democratic senator from CT) single-handedly killed the single payer option that was originally part of obamacare because he was bribed (excuse me, political donations that are legal because corporations are people and that’s their free speech 🙄) to do so since most of the insurance companies at the time were based in his state. Linked to substantial evidence (his own fucking words!). Got banned. Libs fucking hate it when you call them out on their liberal bullshit.

Thanks friend

Just ban Linux as a keyword? It’s easy to do on the voyager app.

Not to go too deep into politics but I’ve been banned from every social media platform (including Reddit!) for being vehemently anti fascist and anti capitalist.

I have some uh… opinions… about how to initiate change and they don’t involve peaceful marching with signs in circles and going home. Because we’ve done that for decades now and things are only getting worse and the capitalists are only solidifying their power especially with how fast technology is moving. We’re running out of time to overthrow these bastards before they make it impossible…

But anyways, those opinions aren’t allowed anywhere else and barely tolerated here (got banned from world after expressing my thoughts about Luigi). Too subversive and threatening I guess.

Being an anarchist is tough, it feels like online everyone hates you and accuses you of playing for the other team at least in American politics. As an anarchist I hate both teams who have the same fucking owners.

No, passing an amendment is way harder than passing any other kind of legislation lol

Probably. It’s on my reading list that I can’t seem to get to lol
