  • Hey Guest,

    An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.

    Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

I'm not sure if it's covid or what, I've seen a double digit amount of therapists. I've found a few that were good, but didn't work out. (most recently one had regressive views on a minority group I belong to, before that the last good guy just stopped doing therapy (trolled XD)). I hate it the second to last therapist was actually so bad, I just want to complain about him, he ended up just saying I had complex issues he couldn't figure out, SO HELPFUL!! Anyways, it turns out he went to an online school so maybe that's part of it. It's just so annoying. I just don't know what to do. I have so many conflicting issues any time I look online for people with experince in all areas I'll find like 7 results and then many of them are fasely listed as taking new people, or lie about the areas they are comfortable in I guess to get more people? (one for example claimed to have X type of training and was actually just still in the process of getting it, another claimed to have X type of training, they did, but they didn't practice it). What is wrong with these people? It's like they're saying "I want you to kill yourself. / it is hopeless / just give up now" AAAAAAAAA

Yeah the wise folk who just screech "go to therapy" at you whenever you complain, as if a) finding a good therapist was doable for most people b) therapy worked for all issues/all people do drive me up the wall a bit. Of course, many people are helped by therapy but that doesn't mean we can discount the numerous cases where it was a waste of resources or actively harmful.

Rest assured, your exasperation is warranted. I commend you for making an effort in the first place.

Over 50 years ago a consumer group tested TV repair shops by taking ten TV sets and putting the same problem in each. They found that three would try to upsell them on replacing a picture tube (expensive). Two claimed to have fixed a problem but didn't find the actual problem. Three gave up and said they couldn't find the problem. The last two actually fixed the problem and charged a fair price.

This was a small sample from long ago, but it does illustrate that there is a distribution of talent and ethics that can impact the efficacy of purchased services.
