The advice is usually pretty common sense and likely nothing you haven’t heard before. The main benefit is having a safe space you can discuss your anxieties with a professional and having someone who will listen with minimal judgement.
Basically a paid friendship without all the other benefits of friendship.
Honestly I wouldn’t be going if it weren’t fully covered by my husband’s insurance.

If you want to avoid politics go on Pinterest or something. Nearly every discussion based social media will trend toward politics because that is the shithole we’re in now.

Yes, Lemmy is probably 60% people who were banned from Reddit for being overly political.

That’s why I let them do it. If it would have harmed them seriously or someone else I would have stopped it. But still doesn’t make it less stupid.

I used to have one as my primary work device for a few years. Honestly, it was surprisingly usable once you find online analogs for all typical things you do on a computer.
The biggest issue is you’d be using a free online service for some application, and then they start charging per month or the company goes under and you lose your work, so you have to keep finding new services.

I used to be a teacher in the 2010s. I remember boys having this ghost pepper challenge they would do that would put them in literal tears.
I never stopped them. Some just have to learn through experience that being an idiot to impress your buds isn’t going to result in a good time for you.

When I was a kid schools didn’t have expensive electronics to destroy. But we sure drew a ton of penises in expensive textbooks.

Wow you must have a huge lack of reading comprehension or an overactive imagination. I don’t see anything about Palestine in my post.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 2 weeks ago:
I wasn’t saying the person you mentioned doesn’t exist or got banned. I’m saying you’re putting words into my mouth I never said, pretty blatantly. Though I feel you focusing on this other dude who got banned that isn’t even a part of this conversation and Gaza which I never mentioned is just more misdirection on your part.

They are only big by number because they are some of the oldest instances. The number of actually active users is less than .world or .ee.
They only seem more active because they are terminally online and have communities that are specifically designed to brigade threads when they don’t like what’s posted.

How like a tankie to decide someone else’s argument for them since you’d rather argue against a strawman than actually be concerned about the facts.

Elon Musk made electric cars popular. Nazi scientists developed rocket technology. That’s all fine and good, but I’m still not going to give them my money.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 2 weeks ago:
They’re
^communists^transphobic, class reductionists, support Russian invasion of Ukraine, support Uyghur genocide, support N. Korean dictators, worked hard to ensure Republicans won US elections, run an instance where they act like the authoritarian dictators they love and ban everyone who disagrees with them for being “liberals” 😱FTFY
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 2 weeks ago:
Just like with Elon Musk, if someone wants people to support them monetarily, they shouldn’t work hard to make themselves objectionable to wide swaths of the population they are trying to extract money from.

I kinda a feel bad for the last pope. After his death he might have imagined people talking about his work and deeds. Instead, asshats are using AI to photoshop pope hats on the heads of idiots.
- Comment on Cup Holders for Sofa Cushions 2 weeks ago:
Even if you are creating a display piece and not something functional, it’s something you are making for yourself, and a limited number of them. You aren’t mass producing Funko Pops of which millions will end up in a land fill.
- Comment on Cup Holders for Sofa Cushions 2 weeks ago:
What each individual defines as garbage is up to them. I’m certain there are very very few people who are literally printing garbage on purpose with their 3D printers.
And again the scale of waste is like 2 trillion to 1 comparing corporations to independent hobbyists 3D printing parts.
Being able to 3D print also allows one to repair things that otherwise would just have to be tossed in a landfill because some critical plastic piece broke.
And it allows users to create their own one-off objects that they need rather than a corporation creating an immense surplus of parts the majority of which will never reach consumer hands and will end up in a landfill.
Taking offense at people who 3D print is just concern trolling at this point.

Thank you for explaining Dr. Snowcone.
- Comment on Cup Holders for Sofa Cushions 2 weeks ago:
The environmental impact of 3D printing is minimal compared to the industrial levels of waste making by corporations.

Nah. The millennials would need enough time to play and beat the game and then come on online forums to bitch. We don’t have that time.
This is nearly always Zoomers and teenagers.
- Comment on Bed slinger vs coreXY 3D printer 3 weeks ago:
One difference is machine size. A bed slinger needs enough room to sling the bed around. I have a Snapmaker Artisan and its humongous because of this.

Even then, is there anyone apart from TV execs who think masculine gays aren’t acceptable?

only feminine gays are acceptable.
I’m out of the loop for this. Is this something middle class families believe?
