I find it very offensive that the more unwell you are, the more things you have to do to maintain your health. Things like following special diets, going to medical appointments, making big and important decisions about what treatments to use. At the same time, the more unwell you are the less energy you have to do all of these extra things. It seems grossly unfair.

I think we as a society don't hate ads enough. We can always hate them more you know.

And while I'm on a tangent about bad therapy, do NOTTTTT EVERRR IN YOUR LIFE!!!!!!! EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Use any kind of AI for therapy. I've seen influencers advertise "AI therapists" and people normalizing using chatGPT for therapy. Even without the ethical concerns about using AI, AI cannot replicate therapist training. AI can be fed therapy sessions and psychology education that real therapists are taught, but a huge part of schooling for therapists is understanding nuance. AI is not able to do that. AI can't tell if the advice it's giving will push you into a mental health episode. It can't tell if the advice is going to put you in danger in a domestic violence situation. It can't do harm reduction. It can't monitor your mental state through non verbal or indirect cues!!!!! Mental health care is inaccessible and difficult to obtain, but AI truly is the worse option. Do not fall for sponsored ads or people on tiktok telling you that AI is a cheap/free alternative because it is NOT. It is legitimately dangerous.

so hard not to become the most annoying person on earth if you're a little excitable and just learned a little about a topic literally no one around you has any interest in

what you learn from hobbies:

consistent practice opens up whole worlds of skill that you couldn't imagine

making mistakes in the process of learning is not only natural, it is also essential

activities that you enjoy can give you more energy back than you spent on them

wow everything is so expensive

i would rather never ever realise my lifelong dream of becoming a published author than resort to generative ai for it. that would not be an accomplishment but an embarrassment on my death bed
