I said this on Reddit, but of course the comments got almost no views.

Aside from moving to federated platforms, our only move is to pit them against each other.

Disguise your dissent as a jab against a competing platform or founder.

I believe it is colloquially referred to as a soft science because of exactly that.

I’ve never had a therapist recommend meds or getting meds, but maybe I’ve just been lucky.

I do think many people are able to judge if the effects of therapy are good or bad, but often they depend on the relationship between the therapist and the patient itself. I’ve had bad therapy that was only bad because they were not a good fit for me.

This is completely horrible, and I am so sorry for the friend as well. But both of you seem to be conflating therapy and psychiatry.

Psychiatry is the practice of prescribing pharmacological agents to affect brain chemistry for whatever desired outcome.

Therapy is talking about and getting down to the reasons you feel the way you feel and does not involve medication. It is almost universally helpful, and likely would have helped the friend a great deal.

Moving to Tidal as we speak. Enough is enough.

God no.

“Livin’ the dream”

Hell yeah loop de loop

It goes for hours at this brightness.

Download Vivid for your MacBook Pro and it forces the 1600 nits of brightness usually reserved for HDR content to your display full time. Outdoor work is entirely possible in this scenario.

Literally talked with him in an ultra realistic dream last night. Told him to “hang in there” and then I showed him some cool tech he has to look forward to.

I just remember this movie talking about the Mac G5 before it was announced. As an early early Apple employee that geeked me right out.

Here is the poor little guy closer.

Why 90% of these dudes look like they fr eat babies tho

Fun fact, the G in Kenny G is for Gorelick. Though they don’t seem to be related.
