Linux has had a UI for decades now, and it looks a lot better than Windows. Take a look at Garuda.

Do you think that you're going to have to explain the joke, do you still tell it?

It's the same thing with sarcasm. If you can't do sarcasm by inference, then don't do sarcasm at all.

I find it disturbing how often discussions about the current administration bring out people talking about taking up arms. I have to wonder how much of that is organic, because, aside from the ethical issues, there's no surer way to delegitimize your movement in the eyes of the public and give the FBI free rein to move on you like a bitch. There's an old saw in activist circles about avoiding people who talk about going violent, because those people are often informants.

The students are definitely political prisoners.

Sure, having an caring and empathetic partner might help me cope with my intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and ADHD, but I still need a therapist. My therapist understands how my brain works and gives me strategies for dealing with maladaptive behaviors. My partner likely wouldn't have that kind of education, and even if she did, that's not her job.

Additionally, there's already a lot of stigma around mental illness, especially for men, and that causes them to not seek professional help, because they see that as admitting to a character flaw. Messages like this aren't helping.

People are still on X even after their owner gave a Nazi salute on national television.

Let's also add "Sometimes, men do need a therapist".

OP started with "men do not need a therapist", and then implied that their wife or girlfriend should be their therapist instead. This is, in fact, an unhealthy dynamic, and that is why people called it out as such.

Interesting that you consider reddit a news site.

You're correct. Therapy isn't for everyone. It's for people with mental health problems.

Therapists are just like any other professional. There are good ones and bad ones. If you're seeing a bad one, keep looking until you find a good one.

A whole lot of people in this thread don't understand that a therapist does.
