Inspiring someone to seek out a certain path is different from being unflawed yourself. If you bash an idea or philosophy because the person who holds it is weak and susceptible to morale or spiritual failures, then you need to bash all ideas and philosophies because that's the human condition.

When I was a dedicated yogi, I inspired several people to practice yoga, some of whom went to become teachers. I myself have fallen off the wagon and haven't had a regular practice in over two years. So it goes.
For the first several months of drugs I had zero sex drive. I talked to the doctor about it and we both agreed that this was 100% tolerable compared to how I’d been without medication. Also that if my opinion on the matter changed, there were other options. Fortunately that side effect eased on its own.
What a pleasant surprise to see Matrix support materializing. It never occurred to me to look for that in Thunderbird but I can see how it could be a great fit.
That is exactly where the conversation should be. It’s a world more productive than implicating false dichotomies of government authority vs. private authority, or polite vs. annoying.

There's a striking similarity between Josan Gonzalez's work and that of Geof Darrow[1] who was famous for his 1990'ish collaboration with Frank Miller on Hard Boiled[2].

Some samples of Darrow's work: [3] - [8]

Gonzalez also seems to have a bit of a Moebius vibe.

> if you are being excluded from public platforms [then] this is a genuine problem

Maybe. But it's not "censorship" as commonly understood in a historical context. And it's absolutely not, in even the remotest sense, comparable in severity or impact to the kind of criminalization of discourse that is happening in Russia right now. And any attempt to conflate the two is just ridiculously inappropriate.
I've been coming across quite a few posts on this topic and would be great to get inputs on this topic (weird opinion ..... I feel real people can provide better inputs than isolate doctors).

i) How does one identify that they have anxiety or depression? (vs. the shit happens feeling that can be brushed off over a period of time)

ii) How to identify when professional help is the required (vs. running up on hourly bills for random pointless "talk therapy")

iii) When are meds required and what they do?

I feel many would be inquisitive about these (taboo) questions. Many thanks for inputs.
Why are you defending a company who has raised over $1 billion in funding and is executing so poorly? Or is it bias?
The examples in the textbooks are not representative of real world problems
They're a doctor, not a deity. You can question them, get second opinions, read research and think critically.
It seems like you’re grouping a bunch of things together and saying I have opinions about them that I don’t. Let’s break them out:

workflows I would assume to be portable, yes. It is an assumption. I generally expect program configuration to be mostly cross platform by default.

I’m not sure what a program written for a particular terminal would be, so I’m not sure if I’d assume portability or not.

Shells are not ubiquitous, even if they are available across platforms technically.

Python is truly cross platform and largely ubiquitous.

An effects system would solve the same problem that most dependency injection does. Having it at the language level gives you some benefits, chief of which is that you're writing Kotlin code, and not either some bespoke DSL, or worse XML.

Battery life is very good, minimal bloatware, good display, adequate camera, wireless charging, headphone jack, noticeably superior audio chipset (which is great for my big headphones), fits in my hand, snappy UI responses, fast charging support, new enough OS to support all the apps I use.

It is still more than enough phone for me, 4 years after it was released. It's showing no signs of slowing down, either.
what is it to talk about? Anything to be discussed about telemetry as a general concept, has been discussed in other products at some point. I personally think the paranoid toward telemetry is just an ideological one, I doubt people can articulate exactly how telemetry is detrimental to them.

I would not blame companies for adding telemetry for improving their product (instead of tracking user), and not explicitly tell the paranoid mob about it, as if to give them excuse not to use the product. It's not like they won't find out anyway.
Good point! “Experiment” was probably a bad word to use. It’s important to work with a medical doctor, preferably a psychiatrist, to try any sort of pharmaceutical solution like SSRIs. They can offer professional guidance and informed supervision, and monitor for a variety of edge cases. eg, you may be unlikely to be bipolar, but if you _were_ and an SSRI triggered a manic episode, you’d want someone to notice and treat you!

But also as you said there should be an entire intake / triage conversation to understand things like family psychological / medical history, and to make informed decisions before trying any medication.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

TikTok is worth ripping for many things, but I find this kind of outrage to be a bit artificial.

What social media company didn't bootstrap with some kind of self-created profiles sometimes with some kind of borrowed content?

IMO, most dating sites launch with hundreds of hot profiles pre-seeded with profiles managed by the creating team just to solve the chicken and the egg problem.

I believe that Reddit famously created a bunch of fake accounts and started dumb fake conversations just to launch the site and portray some activity.

I'm sure real-estate sites violate terms of service to get their initial houses listed to have any content on their site.

I think this happens to some extent with most sites with user-submitted content. Is anybody under the illusion that this doesn't happen?
While I agree with the separation, I don't know if exclusive access to content is as bad as you make it out to be. Exclusive deals aren't anything unique to streaming, and even the FTC will say it's a sign of a competitive market [0]. I think there's only so many ways that can compete on features, and price is going to be set by the licenser anyways, who are going to go with the one that pays the best regardless of exclusivity deals.

As a scientist and programmer, everything to me points to a creator. Obviously every person has a different set of options, and some people have no options. I think most people that aren't following Jesus are already following "I decided that I must live my life on my terms." OP has just decided that they want to choose a different direction of what they are choosing to do in this life.

I believe the true purpose is to glorify God and share the gospel of Jesus Christ with others. I've gone through cancer and lost children. Pain is thankfully only temporary. I believe the joy of God is eternal and most people will not find joy/happiness outside of this in their lifetime.
That’s the cynic’s own delusion: that they are the realist and the world is full of pie in the sky idealists. It’s like the precocious 12 yr old that never matures.
>If you know it's anxiety then you know it's a bad reason

To underscore the point ad nauseum, "they" do not know, other than "they" feel the pangs of anxiety that lead to to the inability to act. There is a disconnect between their rationality and their mechanisms to make a decision. It's possible "their" rational faculties understand while "their" lower systems do not. There's no mental gymnastics necessary to see how the two can coexist. As I said, it takes a whole lot of introspection for some people to override that. The mind is not a single all-seeing rational "decider", unfortunately, and that's why things like cognitive dissonance are difficult to overcome.

All I can conclude from this discourse is we have very different ideas about the way the mind works. Yours does not seem consistent with the cognitive psychology of the last 30 or so years, particularly since fMRI studies became popular.
I personally interpreted that as professionals knowing how to do more post-shot tweaking than amateurs. That obviously doesn't matter if the results are bad, but if the defaults require significant tweaking that isn't going to be something that will stop a professional, although they might find it annoying as a matter of workflow.

Musk never said you can't put trains in his tunnels. He happens to have a car company to help, but I bet if he had a train company sitting around they would develop something for the tunnels.

Boring company tunnels are wider than London subway tunnels.
My non-expert impression is that antidepressant drugs, therapy, and exercise are each about equally effective against depression but whether they work or not varies from one person to the next. So, it's worth trying therapy and exercise first if you're averse to medication. But if the other two aren't working it's worth trying medication as well. Side effects vary wildly depending on the drug and the dosage and the person taking them. Many have mild side effects, or moderate side effects that are temporary until you adjust to them. (Apparently a large portion of the serotonin in the human body exists in the digestive tract. So, SSRIs can cause nausea if you're not used to them because they're affecting the digestive tract directly, which is normal and goes away.)

As usual, consult a real doctor about these questions.

I had been, not long ago, through a crippling depression that I fought by myself. Initially, it crippled me to the point of not being able to get up from bed and start my day (I spent the whole weekend on bed, feeling terribly sad, regretful and helpless. I only get up for biological needs).

After 5 or 6 months of suffering, I decided, at some certain point, that I need to do something about it and that I need to get over it and not waste my life. I started small, step by step, waking up, taking shower, going out for a walk, etc. I used to WFH, but I reversed the habit and started to go to work place everyday.

Then, I got a gym membership and started exercising almost everyday (after so many years of physical inactivity. I am 25 BTW). I started cooking and eating healthy. I take multivitamins everyday with an additional dose of Vitamine D and Magnesium. I eat only vegetables (lots of them), rice, chicken and fish and sometimes beef steaks. I also take fruits everyday (usually Oranges, Bananas and Apples). I also drink Coffee (one cup in the morning and sometimes another in the evening) and Tea with Ginger.

I feel much better. Now, I have a routine, I am more active and I get some work done. However, I still suffer from a slight lack of motivation and happiness. I still feel a bit unhappy and I am not as motivated as I was before the whole depression thing hit me. I don't know why and I have no idea how to solve this part to become the super motivated, super focused and super productive person I used to be.
We spend our prime decades unhappy that we are piddling away the amazing life we have. There’s a sadness and a truth there.

I thought it was very obvious. Just check your local firefigting department or police. From local Governments to the President, they use twitter to inform their citizens sometimes exclusively. Meaning there is no other place to go for this information.

What kind of TikToks are you watching? Tiktok sees I like watching Japanese videos that compare American and Japanese culture so it knows to show me more of that. Trying to say that showing me videos I like is them just giving me a done of dopamine is such a weird way to phrase it. Should they be instead just constantly show me videos they think I would dislike?

If you want to build houses, you're usually better off following the advice of someone who has successfully built houses than someone who has read about building houses, watched builders, or written eloquently about building. That is, there may be some value in the advice of the last three people, but there is usually more value in the advice of the first.

If you want to machine pistons, you're usually better off following the advice of someone who has successfully machined pistons than someone who has read about machining pistons, watched machinists, or written eloquently about machining.

If you want to paint beautiful paintings, you're usually better off following the advice of someone who has successfully painted beautiful paintings than someone who has read about painting, watched painters, or written eloquently about painting.

In the same way, I think that if you want to reduce the suffering in your life, you'll probably be better off following the advice of someone who has successfully reduced the suffering in their life than someone who has read about reducing suffering, watched others reduce their suffering, or written eloquently about reducing suffering.

But what do you do if you cannot tell if a house has fallen down, a piston leaks, a painting is ugly, or a guru is dwelling in their own private self-created hell?
I strongly recommend the book Feeling Good by David Burns. I even recommend it to people who are not depressed.

https://www.amazon.com/Feeling-Good-New-Mood-Therapy/dp/0380...

It describes how depression is often caused by cognitive distortions that somehow cause us to believe that our lives aren't worth living. As a simple example, a depressed person might call a friend, but the friend doesn't return the call immediately, and so the depression patient concludes that the friend doesn't actually care. This is a pure hallucination caused by depression; there are 1000s of reasons why the friend might not have responded immediately. Furthermore, even in the unlikely event that the negative conclusion was true, and the friend doesn't care about the patient, that doesn't mean very much. Maybe the friend is actually pretentious, or is trying to climb the social ladder, or is a political zealot who can't tolerate people with different opinions - all reasons why the patient is better off looking for new friends anyway.

Why Can’t I Hate You? The Genius of Patrice O’Neal
My wife is a psychiatrist. I'm not an expert, but I have more second-hand access than most people.

> The obvious solution to these problems are SSRIs and other anti-depressants. These drugs are very powerful but have really bad side-effects for most people that take them.

I suspect you're referring mainly to the increased risk of suicide. Though, there are other less severe - but still not so fun side-effects. The way I've heard this explained (not through my wife), is anti-depressants help raise your mood. However, they can't and don't immediately jump you back to happiness. For someone down in the dumps, this means there's a short period on the way to recovery where energy and motivation levels are increasing, but they still have significant depression. This puts them in a zone where they're trending out of depression, but still have depression while having the motivation to take action on those

In other words, anti-depressants don't increase the severity of suicidal thoughts - but they can't give you increased energy. This can be dangerous since the drugs haven't had a chance to get you elevated to a point that the suicidal thoughts decrease.

----

I've learned that it can take a few tries to find the right anti-depressant for you. Different people react more positively to different drugs. If one isn't working, communicate with your provider to try a different one. Usually, within a few tries, you'll find one that works for you.

Relatedly, SSRI's aren't the only class of anti-depressants. SNRIs are an alternative class. Other drugs, like Wellbutrin, can also have anti-depressant effects while often having significantly less risk of negative side-effects.

----

Finally, therapy is critical. Regardless of your choice on drugs, having another human being helping you understand and process your feelings and emotions can be incredibly helpful to getting yourself to a better place.
Having a kid really expanded my social circle. Im a shutin hermit and she is a social butterfly and makes friends in seconds, so she probably knows 100x more people in our community than I do. So I frequently have to stand there hanging around with stranger parents because my kid is suddenly best friends with their kid. These interactions have grown to the point where we have a “local dads” poker night and all we have to do with each other is our kids’ social circles. It’s actually kind of wholesome.
