  • So you could just use Email in these archaic programs called Thunderbird etc. If you really wanted to use gmail. You know, without adds, without the need for an ad blocker, without AI recommendations and at your leisure.

    But hey, you’d have to install something on your computer for that… how horrible.

    And who uses computers for work anyway, you can just write your essay on a tablet. (but there are also email apps on those)

    It’s a shittier way to work but hey it’s easier.


  • Maybe it depends on culture? I feel I am pretty normal, I don’t take medication and I am content (though winning a few millions in the lottery would be nice). Most people I work with are perfectly normal too (and I work at a university in the psychology department, go figure… though maybe that’s the reason).

    The only one in my family who takes medication is my brother and he has epilepsy. None of my friends take any medication for mental health either or go to psychiatrists. Everyone of us is different but not everyone has some trauma in his past or mental health issues. This isn’t a crpg where every protagonists parents got killed by the big evil who was also their grandparent.

    I do recognize that mental health problems are far more prevalent than assumed by the general population in past times and that many people have traumas from events in their history.






  • How the heck do they know what people with their names look like?

    I mean, sure they will meet some people who share their name, but, unless you have a very very common name you mostly will meet people with other names. And wouldn’t your fashion be determined by your in group and social and work culture? Same with your hair, isn’t that a trend most people follow? Aka ‘Oh undercuts are in, everyone is having them… they look quite nice, I should get one’

    or ‘Oh mullets are ugly…’ but everyone named Karl is sporting one?
