Not sure honestly, it might be most relevant to Canadians? I’m not sure how much overlap the US and the rest of the world has when it comes to the kitchen gadgets, bikes, cars, appliances, etc that they review.

Check your local library, your library card might give you access to Consumer Reports. They don’t have reviews on everything, but I always make a point to check before a significant purchase.

I don’t know if it’s been confirmed by Musk, but it’s been stated by his (also shithead) dad in an interview:

He also recalled a time when Elon made a hurtful comment to a schoolmate about his father's suicide.

The boy pushed Elon down a staircase at school, injuring him so badly he had to be hospitalised.

When he heard what had happened, Errol wanted to defend his son.

"But I realised Elon overstepped the mark with this little boy. I had to drop it," he said.

The way he is would be sad if it wasn’t completely self inflicted, and also hurting a lot of other people.

Check your local library and city/county department of health, they may run free or low cost group therapy sessions.

Some kid pushed him down the stairs and seriously injured him when he was in school, and I don’t blame them. I guess it’s a chicken/egg situation, but I think generally you don’t get pushed down stairs if you aren’t an absolute shit.

No lessons needed, just stay hydrated and queue up for the new public restroom.

He was stretching the truth as much as possible to convince local art dealers to sell his stuff as an investment, got sued for it, and (spoiler if you’re wanting to listen to the episodes) may or may not have intentionally killed himself to avoid going to trial over it.

Thomas Kinkade did this with art prints in the 90s and 00s. Mass print them and then have ‘trained artists’ go in and add a little highlighting, and charge a premium for it.

Behind the Bastards has a good 2 part episode on him.

Yeah, it really fucking sucks she didn’t distance herself more from a government committing literal genocide during the election.

Deaf people already may learn to speak without that through speech therapy, although for most it’s not their preferred method of communication.

I don’t know how it’s changed in the modern day because the people I know who went through it as kids did it like 30 years ago, but it used to be common to hold a balloon against the throat while speaking to feel the different sounds you’re making.

Have you considered going outside and asking people your questions in order to only get answers from ‘mentally healthy’ people?

anon6789 is a fucking champ. I don’t know how they churn out posts about owls and keep them high quality, but they do.

Honestly I’m thankful when someone puts the red flag above every comment themselves.

Oh, well… at least they haven’t also had historic flooding recently! 😬

Might be? I saw some video not long ago about how those were trending on Japanese social media, but I don’t remember how old the video was.

o7 Fair! I just always try to be very positive about seeking therapy, since anxieties like that kept me from seeking therapy for a long time. If you don’t need to hear it, maybe someone else who does will read it

Freest country on earth, with government mandated positions in academia.

Is this missing a link?

If they can’t handle baby level memes like this they’re not cut out to do anything other than teach suburbanites basic emotional regulation. Which like, there’s a need for that. But the average therapist isn’t going to be deeply disturbed or anything like that, they spend classroom time studying how mental health issues distort your perception and thinking. Usually not via memes, but this is just the picture book version of showing a therapist your journal.

Edit: also, the fear that your therapist will ‘fire’ you or otherwise react badly if you are completely honest about your mental health is something to discuss with a therapist, too! It’s a really common fear and they should be able to address your concerns.
