Rushed emergency responses create waste and bad execution.

Fossil Fuels, sure. Those are also a finite resource we cannot rely on forever.

A good parent produces a self-sufficient and well-adjusted adult with compassion and decency.

There are numerous paths to reach that end but the most important thing is to model the right behaviors.

I don’t like birthdays but probably recess as it’s the healthiest option.

How old am I?

I don’t care what you do but keep your hands off those videos. I need them for things.

Friends ask who me who I voted for every election. I always go into a long winded explanation of the candidates and what they stand for before sharing my selection and reasoning.

The kitchen is the sex room.

One tire blowout and everyone’s gone.

Kiss the rain!

I could not come up with some kind of Carpe Diem quote on short notice so this is what you get!

That’s the biggest concern.

People who need life saving mental Healthcare are already engaging on a brave journey admitting they need help and it’d be a shame if AI crap got in the way of that.

People just don’t think.

You’re probably not suffering mental health crises desperate for bare minimum psychiatric care. It is an absolute jungle here and it can literally take years to find the right person and they are almost never on insurance.

Privacy and your rights to it and your own autonomy/med care are important.

However, some may have to weigh the safety of themselves and those around them to determine whether they should be standing on principle and refusing care.

OP. I’m a bit of an unfortunate expert in U.S. Healthcare.

The fact that you have a psychiatrist who you trust that has you on the right meds and have been with for 3 years is invaluable. You calling yourself stable is a huge thing. You wouldn’t be saying that if you weren’t on solid ground.

It would be completely crazy to give up a psychiatrist who is on your insurance over some AI garbage that is just transcribing notes for your doctor.

At bare minimum get a new psychiatrist who is on your insurance before switching. That should take about 6 months if you’re very lucky.

Play it through: do you want to lose a quality prescriber and talk therapist? Also, maybe you should just tell them you’re extremely concerned and see what they say or do.

The end result can’t be worse than you giving up on your mental health. You already know how hard it is to find quality psych care.

People underestimate the mind body connection.

Talk to a nurse or doctor who work in a hospital and they will tell you that 100% your mental health will impact the physical and vice versa.

Thabk you, sir. I’ll fiddle around as I ready myself. I probably need to research a bit more.

Between this and Lemmy, I’m ready for a switch to Linux now even though I don’t know how it works.

I went to a place most people probably would not venture in the winter which adds to the ambiance. In the summer you get less fog but the tufah salt formations are still there.

This question is better answered by people with anxiety.

Most people don’t understand anxiety and approach it in less than helpful ways when you seek help.

What we don’t know is what you said to your mom to elicit that response.

Unless your mother has harmed or threatened you, you need to seek support to work on yourself so you can feel better.

We need a pro-human PAC.

That is Mono Lake. Many beautiful and otherworldly things can be seen nearby. There are also wild horses there in the snow so that’s cool.

It’s like an alien world. It was hard to settle on just one photo, tbh.
