  • You are worthy of medical attention. Bad teeth problems are painful and are not going to go away on their own.

    Being underweight is not reason enough to be sectioned. You don’t say how underweight you are, but as another commenter already pointed out, it could be strongly influenced by your dental health. Fitting one could help with the other.

    Overall doctors and medical professionals are there is improve your quality of life, not to punish you for your shortcomings.

    All the best!



  • Just upvoted, because I believe in Arendt banality of evil. These are horrible movie collabs. Most are just doing their job. I think we should protest against them, sure, but they themselves are just cogs in the machine.

    Also: this sort of divisive approach to a political discussion is corrosive to any good faith argument. That’s why I will not engage any further with this thread

    How the Internet stole our attention. Short constant dopamine bursts that keep you scrolling, either doom and gloom or oddly cheery. And your attention span slowly erodes, your capacity for complex thoughts slowly decreases, your literacy follows… with a side of generalized anxiety often generated by those same internet platforms, it’s no wonder our global mental health is down the drain! It’s not you, it’s our society








  • I had one like that, it’s so dumb it had to go at random and often loses the way back home. I assume they still exist. The technology has definitely improved and you can jail break most of them. Last I brought was a little spy bot, honestly, but with some attention you can either overwrite the software (and keep the physical improvements) or block it from accessing the internet. [details figures out by my partner]





  • The left hand of the darkness was such a revelation for me! I think I might have read out in two sittings.

    I also didn’t know LeGuin at the time and picked the book up because it was one of only two books in English at a second hand shop. The other was “This is Water” by Wallace. Didn’t know him either, loved that book too.
