Both title and comic are toxic bullshit that ignores the material reality of most peoples lives, akin to pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
There are plenty of legitimate reasons people aren't happy, most of which far beyond their control, the idea that wanting to be happy is to blame, rather than those reasons, is gaslighting (no, no, it isn't the systemic issues you're facing that are to blame, it's your unwillingness to grin and bear it!).
E: your sneaky edit doesn't change anything, the comic isn't talking about "desire" or whatever the specific Buddhist definition of the word is, it very specifically says "happiness". Also, an idea coming from Buddhism doesn't make it true, right, nor especially profound, see "karma", which is just a form of the just-world fallacy.
This, but also people who insist an artists' actions can simply be separated from their art love to ignore the sheer discomfort some of us actually get from seeing or hearing rapists and abusers and their work.
Consuming their media isn't isn't just about funding them, it's also about supporting not only their existence in our media, but their glorification by that media that in many cases enabled the abuse in the first place (putting people on a pedestal and beyond reproach never ends well).
Except you don't choose your family, and probably have no control over who you work with, which definitely isn't the case for May who has actively chosen to stand by Clarkson and their joint brand because, if nothing else, the heaps of money it makes him matter more than not supporting a violent asshole who abuses your other co-workers (or as they see them - "staff").
Yes, and not just in comments, but occasionally when you sort by new, the same one loser (they use either the same pfp or a name with a sequential year or something, I can't find them in my blocked list, those accounts must have been purged) will post extremely racist or transphobic shit, almost like they want to get banned on sight to reinforce their delusions of persecution). There have also been targeted attacks on the autism communities with someone just posting the r slur over and over again. Report and block is the only thing to do really.
Either way, this is typical of any even moderately progressive space, but the more radical you go, the more bigots and trolls will come to smear their shit all over the space, it's an inevitable result of the overinflated sense of entitlement that comes with privilege.
A lot of people here saying you're over thinking things, but as a chronic pain patient, I know exactly how suspicious and damn right shitty some healthcare professionals can be, and how horrible, and guilty, they can make you feel for something completely innocent because they've been drilled about "pill seekers" or whatever (but were never drilled anywhere near as hard about prescribing responsibly, only profitably) and don't care enough to actually look at why you're taking them.
I do agree with most of the comments that being flagged by anyone is probably not something that should be concerning you at all, you are prescribed the meds by a doctor, and especially after a procedure that has painful recovery, no one will think twice about it.
But it is so fucking important for people to see the kind of impact that clamping down on patients (the stress, panic, anxiety, fear, guilt despite having done nothing wrong, and so on) instead of the doctors doing the irresponsible prescribing.
I hope you manage to calm your concerns, and feel better soon.
You are describing textbook systemic ableism, and the sad reality is that calling it out and trying to act against it shouldn't be, but is radical in a world where marginalising people for being different is the acceptable norm (for those in power it keeps us from disrupting their systems because we don't fit their moulds and/or they might have to make extra considerations for us, which might cost them a few pennies, so that's a no. And for the rest of the population - it gives them someone to be superior to. After all that's all bigotry is - making one group feel superior to another to rationalise abuse and discrimination, using systems created by those who benefit the most from said abuse and discrimination either directly in stolen labour and resources or indirectly by sowing and maintaining division in the population to stop us from uniting against our oppressors).
I think this is a good starting place to learning about systemic ableism and the models of disability, which will help in understanding and breaking down these barriers and obstacles we face.
A few years after we'd left school, one of my bullies tried adding me on fb, and when I declined the request, they sent another, which I also declined.
No, one of the most common mistakes is ignoring the man-made societal and economical powers that beyond merely influencing, but actively creating and shaping not only our morals and reason but our very objectivity to ensure they benefit those in power at all cost, when talking about why people behave the way they do.
The idea that the kind of media or education a person is exposed to has nothing to do with how they see the world and behave in it is beyond ridiculous.
It's been a while since I've actually logged on, but I still have fbpurity installed on my browser from back in the day, I remember it doing a decent job at getting rid of the ads uBlock Origin can't tell apart from posts. I've not looked in to it still being up to date or functional, so double check, and if it's alive, give it a try.
Considering even the modest estimates of the size of the entire universe compared to the tiny sphere we can observe, I think it'd be pretty arrogant to think our spec is getting enough information to say anything about the universe as a whole is unlikely.
