F droid is EXCELLENT

One more reason I hate sp0tify

I love the first few episodes, I prefer babyface riker, and I think Dick Picard was a cool badass who I fully support.

But they should have kept Crusher, and the political conflicts were a ridiculous joke epitomized by the cartoonish ferengi. S3 gave us much better aesthetics and politics (though the new character driven storytelling might be a matter of taste).

I love the first two seasons for their episodic adventure structure. But I also greatly appreciate the character driven structure of seasons 3+ and I definitely think the aesthetic changes for s3 were an unadulterated improvement.

Oh she came for the beard ;)

Seek therapy

Yup.

Okay, you have no compassion, just a therapy fetish.

And, um, yeah... let's keep working on curing cancer, too.

Building communities coordinating on meaningful goals. Actual life as opposed to merely dealing with the trauma of not having a life, goals community.

No amount of therapy can ever take away those needs, or satisfy them.

I don't want to discouraged anyone from getting therapy, but it's definitely not a solution. Access to therapy might help people deal with the ongoing problem (and that's a big "might") but it will never, ever solve this big issue.

We're doing more by having this conversation than therapy can do. As long as we keep having them and trying to develop ideas and behaviors to bring those missing things into our lives.

If these mental problems arise from the living conditions of the masses, no amount of therapy can prevent them. Many that seem incurable might just be failing to escape psyche-wrecking situations.

Even if there were enough therapists, and even if they could actually help, you're still talking about fixing mental problems instead of preventing them.
