Thank you! As time goes, it happens less and less frequently. :)

I’m a Wayland lover, in spite of Wayland Firefox frequently freezing for me. Looking forward to it working better.

I suppose it depends on the country, although I’d assume so. I’m from a very poor background, but both of my parents became landlords through being from a generation where purchasing housing was still plausible. I suspect they will outlive me with the stress of my life combined with inborn conditions wrecking my body anyway. I hate my debt so much. :(

I wouldn’t celebrate myself, but I wouldn’t mourn either. The only thing having me in contact with my family is my debt and for them the social expectations and I guess having someone to verbally abuse comes in handy as well.

I have no positive emotional ties with my family.

Because I cannot cut ties due to the debt.

I don’t use social media outside of Lemmy and will leave Lemmy once I’m back to health and can bike again (I use Lemmy for commuting boredom). My first idea was the person might be working for Steam or knows someone who does and they’re sheltering them as I find it too hard to believe Steam is fine with blatant, frequent racism.

No, comments were on Steam.

You can tell a profile report was dismissed when you can report the person again. If you try to report again and it’s not dismissed, it will tell you you’ve reported the person already.

I really like wholesome comments from cool people I’ve interacted with and I don’t mind seeing bigotry if I can use it as proof to get bigots banned from coms so someone more vulnerable won’t have to see it. I do mind if it’s allowed by the platform choosing not to do anything about it though.

As someone who doesn’t live in a country where I hold citizenship, I think voting when you’re not affected as people who live there are is unfair to them. As is people living there being unable to vote unless they got citizenship which may be very difficult depending on the country.

Even if your suffering is rare and they didn’t know how to help you, the least they could do was acknowledging your pain and offering mental comfort instead of dismissing it. Thank you for speaking up about it. Hopefully this can stay at the back of people’s heads so if they encounter someone with your problem, they may seek solutions or at least comfort the person.

I don’t get why it’s so common. Early treatment is always easier andand yields better results, not to mention patient’s suffering is much, much less.

Guys, help, the urges are winning…

Happy that you got the problem sorted out eventually! Livid the doctor denied you the help you needed. :(

Ah, pardon me, thank you for clarifying! I moved to Germany not that long ago and was advised to amend my insurance to opt out from homeopathy and I did so before seeing any doctors. ^ ^’

the new hairline

This is my life-long hairline. :/

I’m so sick of it being taboo to even say so.

YESSSS! And the worst is, they trust one another so the longer you suffer from an issue, the less seriously they treat it. I had a therapist who got diagnosed in her 30s with a life-long disease she always sought help for. She ended up movement impaired due to it proceeding with no treatment. Doctors called her a drug-seeker, school-skipper and so on. All she needed was to be treated seriously.

Really glad to had met you. It’s really reassuring to see people who understand, as much as I wish you wouldn’t understand as I’d prefer you would had never had experienced that.

I’m so sorry. Bless the person who saved your life. And bless doctors and nurses who treat patients well. A faking patient will show up on tests. A denied non-true patient may die or suffer life-long consequences. There is 0 reason to deny people medical care.

Holy fuck! I’m so sorry. :(((((
