- Comment on How do "lie detectors" work (I mean Polygraphs). If I'm loyal specifically to the constitution of my country, and the interviewers ask if I'm "loyal to [My Country name]", how would that work? 18 hours ago:
I wasn’t correcting you, or saying otherwise. Just condensed version of what you said, and adding that it just makes the whole idea flawed from the outset.

You took an analogy literally, and you don’t seem to understand the difference between accepting something, and knowing keyboard warrior behavior is useless.

it was pretty fucking obvious, maybe it was not the element here that was dumb.

The changes they pick up on are responses to a lot of different things, not just lying, so even the premise is fatally flawed.

- Comment on The Telegraph has deleted this sob story 4 days ago:
depends on what you mean by holidays I guess. If a holiday is something like hanging out with some friends for a night of hobbies, or a bbq, or like going camping at a campground in your region, then five holidays is perfectly ok to me. If holidays means summering at a chateau in the riviera, then, yeah, that’s a pretty good line.

It is weird when you criticize one thing and people start saying shit like this, as if your critique of the one thing, is an endorsement of everything else.

This has been what I do with mine. Most of it is pretty fucking “well duh” type stuff, however working with people to hold you, and you hold yourself, accountable for making progress in these ways. The part of having someone to hold you to account, this is often where a therapist is the most useful. However, in this situation, this isn’t an option, so you need to reach out to others.
Take your meds. If you need meds, but can not currently access them due to finance issues, there are sources out there that may be able to help. This is not often easy to navigate, but it may be something that saves you.
Try any method you can find, that is from a reputable source, to keep your sleep on a schedule, and get at least 6 hours per night. This is way more important than many wish, but generally everyone knows it is vital to health, including mental health.
Make yourself accountable to someone for daily improvement progress - eg find a friend, family member, online gaming buddy, whatever, that you report to, on a routine basis, to report the regularity of maintaining these routines. This means whatever you need to do to keep your living space clean, and in order, routine exercise, adherence to a healthy diet, maintaining the framework to keep yourself on track, like keeping your phone calendar up date, keeping lists of chores/errands you need to do, working on maintaining a hierarchy of needs (most immediate things to do, and most important), etc. This is the big one though, this person is allowed to criticize you in your failings on this, and you need to take that criticism, and use it as a call to focus on these areas. You may need more than one person willing to help. If you are isolated, there are online groups for these things. No this isn’t a great alternative, but it is better than nothing, and living in despair.
You need to audit your behavior. You need to make a record of the things you do that are mentally taxing, and thus can harm your mental health. Do you spend all day, every day, at work, or stressing about work? You need to find a place you can vent this stress, and look for advice on how to disengage with work enough stop burn out, but still do what is expected. If what is expected is just too much, you need to recognize it, and work on finding a lower stress income. Do you doom scroll? Well look into apps that help you regulate the time you spend online. Also, audit your experience with the platforms you engage with. If you find one is mostly something that adds to your stress, depression, despair, etc. work on just cutting that out completely. Look and your personal relationships, and really try to assess whether or not your relationships are healthy, if not, how can they become healthy? If there is not foreseeable way to make it healthy, go low-contact, pilot no contact. If your daily life has any improvement because you no longer maintain contact, then it is time to drop them.
Social activity. This will depend greatly on how much socializing, and what kinds, you can handle, etc. This one is much more tricky, especially since anxiety, anhedonia, and other negative aspects of your mental health. However, you need to work on getting some sort of in person social contact. It needs to be regular, and I don’t mean like all the time, but that there is a routine set-up for it. Local hobby groups, activities at the local library, publicly held events you may attend, try to work out a specific time period where you, and at least one friend/family member, can spend that time together doing an agreed upon activity.
Do things that allow you to put your thoughts into more of an order than they may currently be. This could be a journal, personal blog, etc. Just something where you can dump your brain, look at what came out, and apply some structure to it.
Spend time outside. Be it with people, or alone, just force yourself to spend time outside, especially in places you can see nature, see green, etc. If you just sit there observing it, it will help to maintain wellness. This is subtle, and takes a while, however it does have a real impact.
There is more, and I can ask my therapist, when I see her this week, for resources for all this, and I can update with what she says, if she is willing, which I do not see why she wouldn’t be.

Of course this action was a bid for power. Did people really think he was just going wipe out the gangs, and then relinquish all the extra powers he claimed to do so, because he really wanted to help people from crime, deep in his heart?
- Comment on Bad boys, bad boys, what you gonna do 3 weeks ago:
correct, to a point. most of the time they will only kick people for expressing extreme and highly intolerant views, or for fighting in their server over it, but theoretically they could just kick anyone who talks about any topic they don’t like under that guise. Now take this position, vague laws allowing for power abuse, power abuse is awarding to many people on its own, especially those drawn to positions of authority, then add to it training regimen that teach these practices, periodic seminars to reinforce the practice, personal profit motive to enforce this practice, and a societal structure that pressures them to do so. This is machine for shaking down down the general public under color of law.
- Comment on Bad boys, bad boys, what you gonna do 3 weeks ago:
There are many, many, places all over the US that basically fund their local government by pulling over people who don’t live there, and fining them. They absolutely abuse their authority to do this. There are so many infractions, many very vaguely worded, and broad, the cops can basically pull over anyone, just because they want to, and they do. There are also plenty of people out there with long standing video evidence of being harassed by the police, because the cops don’t like legal things they do, or don’t like their families.

- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 4 weeks ago:
It is still more spartan than plex, more of a media library serving framework only. However even people who aren’t particularly well adjusted to tech (like my 75 yo mom), don’t seem to have an issue using it once it is set-up, and younger people with marginal tech expertise seem to be able to set up a server, and clients, with a little time on google. People complain about it not working on a lot of smart TV OSs, but I have not run into this, at least with the most popular ones, Roku, WebOS, TVOS, Google tv, Samsung, Vizio, however I have not tried it with an Apple TV. The biggest complaints I have personally received are mostly secondary features like polished library management interfaces.

could it be the focused manosphere type propagandizing of men?
Books, higher education, art, etc, are all looked at negatively by this social influence sphere. If you go into academics, it better be STEM/business/law and none of this limp-wristed liberals arts shit. You should be working out, working yourself to death, shooting guns, smoking cigars, and treating women like objects. None of this pussy reading for fun shit.

ohhh, yeah the media bias apps, and services, are not really, truly reliable either. When you dig into any of them they become more and more suspect. From being owned by questionable entities, to just being incompetently run.

- Comment on I’m new to Lemmy 2 months ago:
Unfortunately I stopped going to reddit for sports info before I left. I just kept running into increasingly toxic people, over what is such a low stakes subject. It wasn’t just reddit, I also gave up on televised sports because watching sports feels like I am watching ads that are occasionally broken up by bumps of sports. Even friends who are WAY more into sports have pretty much given up on watching them. Also, the way that sports is handled across streaming platforms I find enraging.
- Comment on I’m new to Lemmy 2 months ago:
The only thing I miss about reddit are the large, academic subject specific subs, that tightly moderate their subs to make sure that as many of the posts/answers are from accredited people, or that the post seems to check out when they look the subject up. r/askhistorians for example.
