  • Doctor here. I’m a bit busy right now so I have to keep it short. Just wanted to give my two-cents on the antidepressants thing. One common misconception when it comes to antidepressants is that they are the solution, the cure so to speak. This is not true. What antidepressants is in fact is that they provide you a buffer zone. The intention is not to make you happy, but rather to give you a neutral headspace. In that buffer zone, it is up to you to try and find things that make you feel a bit better.

    That’s why it is also a long process. When you’re lost, it is hard to find the right activities for yourself. My advice would be that you should talk to your doctor. Explain that your previous antidepressants didn’t work, get the new ones they prescribe, and work on yourself in that buffer zone.




  • if your “diversity” is when five white people in a room have opinions and those five white people happen to be from different countries and have distinct culture that’s essentially just white people jerking themselves off.

    Can you elaborate on that? Like, I honestly think an American, a Russian and an Albanian having different opinions would be considered diverse. Aren’t those vastly different cultures despite the fact that they’re white?

    Same thing goes for other skin colors as well. What you’re saying in my opinion is akin to calling Japanese and Chinese people “the same”. Or Persian and Arabs.

    And also,

    that’s essentially just white people jerking themselves off.

    Please, is this the language we’re using here? The person above is clearly not trying to be a white supremacist, neither were they indecent. You could have used a better phrasing.


  • As an aside: it’s also a little short sighted to assume that bucketing people in a “white” group means they aren’t diverse in their own right. I’d imagine there is quite a diverse makeup of “white people” on here-- people from Western Europe, Eastern Europe, the US, Canada, Australia, and elsewhere who all have very different perspectives, cultures, and norms that they bring to the table.

    Couldn’t agree more. I can understand why people from the US may think that a graph showing mostly white people would mean a lack of diversity, but this is not a US-only website. There are so much diversity amongst white people. As a Turkish person, my skin is white yes, but I have grown up in a vastly different culture and environment than a white American, or a white Russian, or a white French. Or while my skin is white I’ve yet to have a “white privilege” because again, I’m not from the US.

    I know, in a poll like this you can’t just make every ethnicity and background an option -there are just too many of them. But again in an international community like this, saying that a white majority means a lack of diversity is just wrong in my opinion.


  • Funnily enough, I have another friend that wants to sell his Series S and switch to PlayStation. A while ago he said he’s willing to sell it for 200 bucks. But I had have heard so many negative things about the Series S I kindly rejected his offer. Negative things such as how most games are capped at 30 fps, how the games look blurry, how it’s holding back the quality games that would have been developed if it didn’t exist etc. I can ask him if he’s still looking for a buyer actually, but again, I don’t know if the Series S is a good console. It certainly doesn’t seem to have the reputation PS4 has.
