I really don’t, I hate arguing and it stresses me out, but with comrades I take pains to try and explain why I’m arguing rather than start a shit-flinging fight. Usually I can actually get somewhere with that, not just getting back “nope I see no inconsistency between my repeated shitty, harmful framing and my later professed position on psychedelic therapy, I did absolutely nothing wrong or that could even reasonably be misinterpreted”
“there’s technically nothing in the rules that says a dog can’t vote” 
To me it seems mostly like its just the plain meaning of the words you chose (repeatedly) but 
psychological problems people have that are not a result of exploitation should absolutely be treated using therapy
This sentence specifically excludes people whose conditions are a result of exploitation. A condition can be caused by exploitation and still be a health issue (and worth noting, it won’t often just go away if the bad working conditions go away).
The issue […] is using drugs to paper over problems that are a direct result of shitty working conditions.
Again, framing genuine medical treatment as “papering over” is harmful.
When you say in response to this article that “drugging people up shouldn’t be used to paper over brutally exploitative working conditions that cause psychological damage.” you’re implying that what is being done here isn’t legitimate treatment and is merely “drugging people up”. Which from the article doesn’t seem to be the case.
Of course I wouldn’t put it past capitalists to push that sort of scheme, but you’re framing it as “this is happening” not “this could be happening/would be bad if it did”. What is described in the article is just bog standard, physician supervised ketamine therapy, nothing day to day, and nothing during the work day.
FWIW I don’t think you necessarily intended for your comments to be taken this way, but several people have now pointed out that they took it that way to you so continuing to argue you didn’t say it isn’t especially helpful.
I get what you’re saying, but you keep wording it in a way that like, implies you think health issues caused by exploitation don’t still need to be treated, regardless of their origin. This stuff should be covered for anyone that needs it full stop. AND working conditions need to improve. Unless there’s evidence that the medical treatment is actually improper (using much higher than therapeutic doses for example), there’s no issue here really (with the covering of novel therapies, specifically)
You can say the increased need for treatment is a sign of damaging exploitative conditions and I’d agree but that isn’t what the article is about

Anyway maybe I’m just pissy
nah you are 1000% correct, medical gatekeeping is fucking bullshit.
also my good friend with PCOS is also trans now that I think about it 
I was wondering why this post sounded so familiar
yeah they freaked at the mod who removed one of their shitty comments, opening message called the mod a piece of shit.
emojis are actually built into base lemmy for the past year or two (contributed by a dev affiliated with hexbear, but still), but they don’t federate seamlessly and most instances don’t use them much, or at all, so app support also seems to be lacking last I saw.
If you’re using lemmy.ml on the web not thru an app, you can still try out the emoji picker/autocomplete, it just only has standard unicode emojis. Try typing :a into the comment box or clicking on the little smiley face in the bar above the box!
excellent comment. Anti-tankie leftists would be wise to listen to what is being said by scholars of socialism and history from outside the western liberal/libleft bubble, because many of the things they get angry at us for are simply non-controversial to almost anyone in the world who isn’t in that bubble. Even if they don’t agree with us on everything, everyone who fights for a better world should be broadly on the same side. (and that isn’t the side of Israel, NATO, etc.)
ohhhh I think I misread/interpreted due to the inbox ordering in the screenshots being top=newest. I thought it was an ongoing convo before that. now I see the removed comment that triggered the first message.
edit: changed my mind
Side note: is DM harassment, like, defined? Or is it a “know it when you see it” basis primarily? obviously it’s always gonna be case by case to some extent, but the posted screenshots just seem like an ongoing 2 way conversation that got heated. Not my first thought when I hear “DM harassment” personally, though I can see how it might fit
I can’t and I won’t lol
Its still a smartphone with all the baggage of that, so I’m not personally interested, but that actually seems like a pretty compelling featureset…
battery is the weak point really. If they used a weaker SoC and made it just a liiiiitle bit bigger (but still thicc) the battery could probably be a lot better.
yeah this, feature phones often have google maps now.
old timey mobster voice He’s been shown the door, see?
there was an ancient struggle sesh about outdoor cats, basically “its cruel to keep them locked up inside” vs. “they decimate the local environment esp birds” or something. It got legendarily heated
I turn off watch history entirely 
It nags you to turn it back on and completely disables the homepage recommended/popular feed but I’ve grown to like it a lot. I still go through my subscriptions tab to find stuff to watch, and I still get related videos on individual videos that I watch that I can hop to if I want to explore outside that bubble of existing subscriptions. It’s like going back to 2014 youtube or whenever they started making the homepage purely algorithmic

There are zoomers who weren’t even born yet when a lot of those were posted, esp since that’s an archive, and his reddit account goes back to at least 2011 (though I bet he had one before that considering the username). There are high schoolers who were born after this man started playing starcraft.
I prefer to use orders of magnitude to avoid this probkem
