What have your experiences with therapists/psychologists/mental health professionals been like?
  • Went to a therapist once for anxiety due to financial stress. She didn't take insurance. Two sessions later nothing had been accomplished but my wallet draining. Advised her she was contributing to the problem and just went and exercised. lol

  • Why you shouldn't go to Best Buy stores
  • Hoping OP doesn't mean shopping online at Best Buy xD. Saw a recent thread where someone ordered online and BB used Doordash for delivery? Then the DoorDash dude just up and took the package home. Buyer reported that the package never arrived and instead of doing well, anything, Best Buy said, "Shows as delivered, take it up with Law Enforcement."

  • Trying Out Pop OS on my laptop
  • If it's mainly for gaming Bazzite is the bees knees. I just like to get creative and try crazy stuff and Bazzite no likey. As a commenter said below though, there's some drama around future releases. At the same time I'm honestly just waiting for the proper PC SteamOS drop.

  • Driving through Nebraska twice nearly broke me. The people who live there must be among the hardest motherfuckers alive.
  • I did this drive once. Well, my husband did and I was in the passenger seat so I got a real GOOD look at all the nothing. Late at night we actually stopped and got out because 1) we needed a stretch and 2) there was a full moon. We were far enough out that there weren't any cornfields either, just undulating hills of sand sparsely covered with grass. It was beautiful in that light, and when we got back in I did some searches on the place.

    You may not be surprised to find out that place used to be the bottom of an ocean. Doesn't look like it's changed much.

  • I need to meal prep for the work week but have no idea what to make, did pasta salad last week for 5 days straight. Ugh
  • Here's a suggestion for your recipe book: Chicken parts cooked for 1.5 hours in an slow cooker (browned first), covered with a mixture of two cans of mushroom soup and two packages of French Onion soup (the powdered kind.) Man, you won't be disappointed and it's easy.

  • New federal employees must praise Trump EOs, submit to continuous vetting
  • If I was in a position where I could work for the government at all, I'd take the job, swear whatever they wanted me to, then make sure I hurt them as badly as possible. After all, they swore to uphold the constitution, didn't they?

  • generalstrikeus.com Who Are We? — The General Strike

    The General strike organization is dedicated to creating real change by striking against The System. This country still does not work on behalf of its people. By striking we deny the corporations their greatest power - IT's labour.

    Amber Alerts now showing up on phone as Public Safety Messages

    Done it twice now, both after the date of this article. What gives? I don't want to turn off Public safety messages, but Amber alerts are notorious for waking me up in the middle of the night for a child kidnapped 300 miles away.

    What is going on with the media?
    abcnews.go.com Secret Service spotted Trump rally shooter on roof 20 minutes before gunfire erupted

    Twenty minutes passed between the time USSS snipers first spotted Crooks on the roof and the time shots were fired at the former president, new information shows.

    Secret Service spotted Trump rally shooter on roof 20 minutes before gunfire erupted

    This article seems to have a lot of facts mixed up and they appear to be unaware of things that to my mind are publicly available. What's going on with the spin?

    The article states they have no idea what the shooter's motivations are, but there was a screenshot of Crook's X account that pretty clearly laid them out. https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2F3503dwt80gcd1.jpeg

    The article goes on to state that he bought ammunition at Walmart, while other articles state he used an AR, and that Biden wants to ban them again in the wake of the shooting. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2024/07/17/biden-ban-ar-15-trump-assassination/74416454007/

    Walmart does not sell .223/.556 ammo.

    It's been 6 days since the shooting. What the hell is going on with investigative journalism?
