That’s not true. Sure, we have tribalism, but there’s no reason it has to be about race. It could be about religion, politics, country of origin, and countless other things

I think your real answer is depression, since that’s the cause of why you feel the way you feel. We haven’t cured depression, but there are ways to combat it. Medical health professionals, medication, friends, mindfulness, exercise, etc are all ways to combat depression. When you’re depressed, basically all seem impossible, but you just have to take it one baby step at a time

There’s no way there is a connection between the person asking the question and the shooter. It was a debate with Charlie Kirk. Of course gun violence is going to come up. Especially since it started by asking about gun violence involving trans people.

Tribalism is literally human nature, though. People have a natural tendency to have a group they consider their own, and those outside of that group. It absolutely is human nature, and has been for thousands of years.

product of a society that demands conformity, hierarchy, and defines community through exclusion

Have you ever thought that maybe those happened because of human nature, and not the other way around?

The files are pre-internet encrypted. Shouldn’t matter who gets the backup file

I mean, I just use the scheduled backups and back it up to a locally hosted server. Though the scheduled backups just go to a folder on my phone

We’re basically at least 50 different countries. It depends on which sub-country you’re in to know how strict the regulations are. However, what is illegal on paper is very different from what is often enforced.

That’s awful for so many reasons. How are business/products expected to be held accountable? Obviously when you let free reign of negative reviews, you’re going to get some nonsensical ones or absurd ones, but people filter those out most of the time anyway. If you prevent (or there’s even a threat) for negative reviews, you’re just letting shitty companies and products get away with being shitty. It’s a loss for both consumers and the country wanting to have good businesses, though a win for shitty companies.

It’s literally super common. Google’s GBoard has it, but the first app I know about it was the now discontinued Swype app. There was a big commercial for it in 2010 for the Samsung Galaxy S about setting the guinness world record for fastest text https://www.windowscentral.com/samsung-and-swype-helps-set-world-record

Swipe to text. Like dragging your finger to write, rather than typing each letter

Not enough open source ones with swipe. Which is to say, almost none

Kick is uncensored Twitch. It’s usually where people go after getting banned for racism or whatever on Twitch

I agree with the fact that there are not thorough diagrams with part numbers and wirijg diagrams like there used to be. A part of it is the fault of the manufacturer, and a part of it is just the way things are made now. Circuit boards are not as simple as they once were to include comprehensive wiring diagrams. They could absolutely break the modules into different boards and label the boards with different part numbers, so rather than replacing a resistor you’d just have to replace that board. It’s also not clear to me how many people actually have a comprehensive understanding of the item being sold.

But there is the obvious fact that companies want you to buy another one and not repair it. It’s often cheaper for them to not repair the product themselves, and just replace the entire unit. They dont keep a surplus of parts for repairs, nor do they want to spend the man power troubleshooting and fixing the issue. It’s just cheaper to replace it entirely. If they themselves will just replace rather than repair why would they bother keeping detailed documentation. If anyone cared for the enviornment more than money, they’d probably do it. But we all know how that goes.

I would also add that even previously they were prioritizing money. It was just cheaper for them to make it repairable, especially if they are going to offer some sort of warranty. It was also good for business since it made customers happy. I think at some point it became cheaper to do it the way we do now

Can’t have friends asking you for help if you don’t have friends.

I partly disagree with what you say. The subscription appliance garbage absolutely do lock advanced user manuals behind paywalls. But it isn’t not rare (at least right now) to still find products with good user manuals. There are usually separate documents with one being a “quick setup” and another being a full “user manual”. Avoid the worst offenders and you should be okay.

It’s not really shilling since you aren’t benefiting for them in anyway. I got it too. It’s a powerful blower, for sure. It’s expensive, but I got it on sale for like $70 USD and I’d say it was worth it on sale.

I tried googling it myself to see what you were seeing, but that was one of the few articles I saw. I do not recognize the site nor does the author seem to have any other published works. Here is a meta-analysis for CBT efficacy: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3584580/

The meta-analytic literature on the efficacy of CBT for depression and dysthymia was mixed with some studies suggesting strong evidence and others reporting weak support.

The efficacy of CBT for anxiety disorders was consistently strong, despite some notable heterogeneity in the specific anxiety pathology, comparison conditions, follow-up data, and severity level.

That is simply not true. CBT is absolutely proven to be helpful, I’m not sure where you got the idea it is harmful. It is not effective for treating everything, like trauma for example, but it is widely used and is absolutely not harmful. CBT and DBT have different emphasis on what they are trying to treat. Check out this article (or plenty others) explaining their differences
