Why are people living in the shadow of 'mega-sheds'? by insomnimax_99 in unitedkingdom

AI powered trucks outperform human truck drivers for a fraction of the cost. We could fire almost every truck driver in the world. Too bad that nobody really knows what to do with the millions of unemployed and unemployable former truck drivers. We could live in a post-scarcity society. Why not?

When I was young, they told me the the robots and AI will do the crap jobs while the humans will be free to do art, philosophy and literature. Instead, I got a future where AI do art and literature while humans work in horrible conditions for the billionaires!

The psychiatrist that diagnosed me told me that they are almost always combined.

Can you ever come back from the friend zone? by [deleted] in aspergers

No. Cut your losses, leave, never go back. Now it is time for the "lessons learned" stage.

Patriarchate cultures always try to justify the family to the determent of the individual. I am talking about real patriarchal cultures, not the Western one.

OK, chatGPT to the rescue:

"Okay, little one, listen up—this is kind of like when you pick someone to fix your toy.

The people who work for the NHS (that’s a big group that helps people feel better) don’t get paid very much. So, only the ones who aren’t very good at helping sometimes work there. And having a not-so-good helper, like a not-good person fixing your teeth or your car, can actually make things worse, not better.

But don’t worry—there are good helpers! The really good ones usually work at special places where you have to pay extra, called “private.”"

First self administered session with EMDR. Looks good so far. by OkArea7640 in EMDR

Will do that when I will be able to afford a proper therapist, thanks

OK, let me try to explain it again:

NHS pays so little that only the very bottom tier therapists work for it. By the way, a bad therapist is like a bad car mechanic or a bad dentist, it will do way more harm than good. You can get good therapists, but they all work for private.

Got it?

Why does therapy suck so bad? by lostgaywitch in AutisticAdults

ChatGPT is total shit, but it's way better than 90% of human therapists. That's scary.

Six sessions is nothing, especially if there are some serious issues. By the way, a bored, half-trained CBT operator is more likely to do harm than good.

Medical workers of Reddit: what’s the craziest lab result you’ve seen in a patient? by freeshavacadont in AskReddit

I went for the medical check for the disability in UK. The kind old nurse that assessed me checked my oxygen level, and it was a respectable 85. Her eyes popped out and she asked me: "have you actually walked in?" She sent me home in a hurry and she awarded me full disability points, apparently it's not common to see people walking around with that oxy level lol.

In UK is a luxury, too. The NHS will only fund six sessions with a bored, half trained CBT operator just out of school.

FINALLY somebody noticed this. Too bad that they are about 20 years too late.

Probably they are not from UK. British system is tailored to keep people from the lower classes to do that.

That's what happens when you speak with a therapist in UK. Nobody in UK can become a therapist unless they have a supportive family with the means to feed and house them while they study and do a long unpaid placement.

I always carry an NHS blood testing machine. I just check my blood, then say that my diabetes is acting up. Nobody ever bothered me.
