  • Let’s add to the list, almost four years of operatives infiltrating their way into the election certification process. Not to get too tinfoil hatty, but the addiction denial strategy almost worked last time, and while the same team that orchestrated it no longer occupied the White house, state officials open to the scheme likely won’t make the same mistakes this time.

    It’s a different election now with Harris taking the Dem nomination, but 2020 was decided by about 40k votes spread across a few key states. The same polarization that makes polling almost impossible to do accurately also means people’s opinions are equally hard to change. Don’t try. Instead, focus your efforts on mobilizing voters to turn out. Organize and make a plan to get yourself to the polls and to bring a friend. Check vote.gov and make sure you’re still registered and make sure the reasonable people in your life have too! Uncle ivermectin isn’t changing his mind about the trans panic, but there’s going to be a significant portion of the population that just doesn’t have time to vote between working the jobs to stay afloat. Get them a mail in ballot!

    I’ve checked my registration about 25 times this month after learning I had mysteriously dropped from the rolls in a swing state. Don’t let some jackass take your opportunity to vote away. It may be our last change to finally stop hearing about every single stupid thing that comes out of the mouths of the worst people in government. Winning is the only way to fix what’s broken in our system.

  • Thank you for the reply! I posted and then had an unexpected travel commitment come up that pulled me away from Lemmy, but thrilled to have someone with direct involvement jump in.

    I couldn’t agree more, and it seems to me that OSE and Lemmy make a perfect match. Can’t wait to check out the wiki and thank you again for the reply! Hope you guys get flooded with support and keep carrying the project forward. What a great mission statement and purpose.















  • Hey so I’m not a therapist but I have some personal experience with CBT as an ADHD haver. I’m my humble opinion, people really need to not get their advice from an internet posting when it comes to this stuff. There’s so much bad info (even in this thread) that I’m not sure how useful this reply will be, but CBT is a demonstratedly effective tool set for retraining internal dialog and consistently produces measurable improvements in mental health across a variety of metrics.

    That said, only a licensed therapist will be able to judge whether or not it’s the right fit for any one specific person. More importantly, CBT is only one of a variety of approaches and what seems to make even more of a difference is finding a good fit with the provider. That is to say, the best technique with a poor provider is going to be much less effective than a different approach from a provider you click with.

    There are some really valuable tools in the CBT tool case. But there are a lot of valuable tools out there in general, and finding a provider who can help lead their patient to learn to use them is much much more important than which shelf they come off of.

    All the best. It’s not an easy process regardless, but well worth the effort.
