We need to kick things into gear and find a smarter way to play this.

Abuse? Seriously, who actually is this "Abuse" person?

This is a space for anyone looking into psychotherapy.
It’s designed as a place where people with actual experience or trained therapists can offer some insight.

Think of this subforum as being similar to the one below titled formal debate.

Here’s my first contribution;

"I can give you advice, folks, but I can't give you brains." ☕

Stop messing around, it can't be that big.

slywolf45 said:Oh, please. We’re rolling in it. I actually used my forum salary to take a summer vacation on the Danube.☕

So, how big is it?

(Talking about the paycheck, obviously)

I’m really digging this setup (honestly, I usually vote just like John Smith)

Good topic.

Honestly, showing the attachment size is pretty pointless. It doesn’t actually help anyone, so we might as well just disable it.

Maybe it served some purpose back in the day—like seven or eight years ago—but nowadays, it's just clutter.

To me, any version of Google works just fine.

Without it, I’m basically lost. Just a total nobody.

I’m all for having one Christian moderator and one Muslim moderator assigned to the Religion subforum.
They represent the two largest groups on that board.

An atheist just can't be truly objective in every single situation when it comes to faith, mostly because they lack the necessary background knowledge.

It would be the same if I tried to moderate the Natural Sciences section; I have zero business doing that since my expertise is in sociology.

but honestly, I think the rules actually prohibit starting threads about specific members, so I’d suggest the mods keep an eye on that. That's all.

You're basically a walking ego trip and you should probably be permabanned immediately.
You act way too "informed" for someone with only nine posts; the rest of your nonsense is just noise.

From what I can see, the mods over on this forum have their hands full. When it comes to picking new moderators, we ought to be asking candidates how much actual time they can commit to the specific subforum they’re eyeing, rather than just checking if they happen to hold eighteen PhDs.

Sure, having an expert on hand is great, but I think we should prioritize people who actually enjoy hanging out in the subforum—the ones who post regularly and don't cause a scene. We need someone willing to put in a chunk of their day to scrub spam, delete rogue posts, and step in with warnings when things go off the rails.😬

It might be interesting to look into moving the cardboard around for a fee.

I'll check in with the folks over in marketing to see what kind of price tag we're looking at.

Oh, absolutely.

Because of that old marijuana thread, I started smoking weed, and tomorrow I’m heading to my lawyer to sue Reddit because that one topic sent me down a rabbit hole from weed to coke to heroin.

What kind of job is that?

Keith Jones76 said:Exactly. My only suggestion would be to make them do it at their own risk. In other words, if they end up getting sick, they should foot the entire medical bill themselves. We shouldn't be draining the taxpayers—people who actually work for a living and rightfully avoid this stuff—just to subsidize someone else's choices. It comes down to a simple choice: do you find meaning in being responsible and keeping your feet on the ground, or is the "meaning of life" found in "receptor confusion" and mystical trips? (If that isn't an oxymoron, I don't know what is.)
If anyone still thinks this sounds like a great idea, go for it!

If only it were that simple. You really have to ask yourself: "why does someone start using drugs in the first place?" Not everyone does it just for fun. For many, it starts with psychiatric issues—things like a rough upbringing, losing loved ones, and all those other factors that create a sort of black hole in the subconscious that's incredibly hard to climb out of.

The human psyche isn't quite as straightforward as you seem to think.

By that logic, you’d tell people on psychiatric meds: "Hey, you creeps, stop taking your antidepressants, anxiolytics, antipsychotics, or anti-epileptics, because YOU are the ones driving our healthcare system into the ground."

Everyone should pay for their own illness. Screw socialized medicine—I’m healthy, so why should I care? 🙄 🙄

Nice, solid choice. That's a great monitor. 🙄

But you're going to need some decent horsepower to actually drive a resolution like that.

Not really 😬

Andrew Howard14 said:So, I checked out the top threads and now I'm leaning more towards Dell. I used to be all about Samsung, but with how those panels turn out, I don't really want to gamble my cash. If I can track down a Dell, that’s what I’m getting. Planning to head out next week to grab one—if I pull the trigger, I'll post my thoughts and a quick review. Taipan, thanks again for the help.

It's a decent monitor, though I'm not sure if you checked the Resolution * 1920 x1080😁

If you're planning on gaming, you're going to need some solid support from your graphics card for that.🤣

First everyone complains that Microsoft pushes out new Windows releases too often, and now suddenly nobody can wait for the full version of Windows 7 to drop this fall. 🙄

If I were in his shoes, dealing with people like "you," I’d probably just release a new version of Windows every single year and let you all deal with the headache of beta builds, broken drivers, compatibility issues, and all that other nonsense. 👎

It seems like you guys don't have anything better to do than obsess over Windows 7 all day long. 👎

😉

When it comes to TN panels, they’ve been the undisputed kings for a long time.



The Chi Mei CMV 222H isn't even available here in the States. Honestly, calling that thing a Samsung is a joke—it's just underwhelming...

that Lenovo ThinkPad T420 is great, but it carries a bit of a premium price tag.

As for finding a killer 22" monitor, I’d probably look at this one instead:
