  • I’m just worried for the content creators on patreon. Their choices are a significant reduction in income, jacking up prices and pricing out some of their patrons (thus reducing their income), or if patreon pulls from apple there’s a significant reduction in visibility and additional hurdles (thus reducing income).

    So it seems that no matter the outcome, creators suffer the consequences of the Apple tax.

    Fuck apple. Rotten to the core. Class action lawsuit in the very least.

    Vote. We need House, Senate, and President to not be corporate fascists so that we can impeach at least 2 or 3 supreme court judges, replace them with rational human beings, reverse the overturning of Chevron Deference, and then let a stronger FTC gut these fucking companies.

    Self dealing, competition buying, corporate fascists. The lot of them.


  • I get that. My dad is Catholic and very into it. My mother is a non-practicing “protestant” , but has some crazy beliefs about medication, abortion, and ghosts. Except for when she needed a shitload of meds to get pregnant the 4th time.

    My ADHD, autistic, gay, emo, depressed ass did everything I could to be better, and at 20, I just moved out without telling them. And now the guilt they feel because I only talk to them twice a year max is it’s own reward.

    If I may ask, what country/region are you in?




  • On a scale of 0-10, how religious are these parents of yours?

    I’ve been in similar positions in my life, mostly because of religious parents, and while I don’t recommend you do anything to get yourself kicked out, I would absolutely say, if they aren’t taking care of you, you need to take care of you. And getting a diagnosis and medication is a good start.


  • First, remember that there may be other opportunities to get diagnosed, so this isn’t necessarily the end of the world.

    Second, your mental health is a lifelong concern, while a flooded basement is temporary. You can help out before and after your appointment, and realistically, your contribution might not be crucial. If you’re young enough to need your parents’ consent for healthcare, then you’re also young enough that dealing with the mess in the basement shouldn’t fall entirely on you.

    Additionally, if they aren’t willing to support you when you need help, it’s understandable to question why you should be expected to drop everything when they need assistance. That might be my oppositional defiant disorder talking, or it could just be that I don’t agree with parents who think they can do no wrong, and therefore you don’t need mental health care.

    Btw, how old are you?
