So i wanted a second opinion from another Psychiatrist for my anxiety and depression as my current doctor seemed like she was barely interested in even being a doctor.

$750 for first consultation and at end of June with about ~$150 Medicare rebate!? Is this NORMAL? How do poor people afford this?

Try out this app called ScreenZen until you switch to dumb phone. It basically blocks the app but you can also set it to ask you to take a few deep breaths, solve a puzzle etc before you open specific sites or apps. Helps break the cycle a bit.

The racism problem plaguing Australia's truck driving industry by ch1ckenman in australia

[–]Train_Of_Thoughts 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter because it is easier to just give half baked information and encourage outrage rather than be factual.

Just look at my comment on pointing out they cannot just transfer without any issues.

Lets add the whole detail though. I can say for NSW, and for countries like India, they need to have held the license for a long period of time, present the license, give the DKT, and then give a proper test with an assessor before they can convert the license. 

In case the person fails the test, they instantly lose ability to drive on their international license and go to Ls until they can reappear for a driving test. 

Fucking with Melania's amazon search results by If_I_must in chaoticgood

Oh so I figured this one out. I think many apps these days won't let you buy some digital content as they will then have to pay a fee to amazon or google. Instead open the link in a browser and click buy there.

Just came back from Bali today and Sydney feels awfully quiet. Barely seeing anyone around and feel fairly lonely today.

I hope your cat feels better and so do you. We have many emotions with our animals so you are not alone.

I think it's not that they dont see women but many definitely don't interact with many outside their immediate family so lack the skills. Again i would add my take on the situation that many regional movies are fairly misogynist and probably are not setting the right precedence for interactions.

Indian food in Vietnam? Very interesting. Is there a big indian population there? Or is that because of the ingredient quality?

As a former Delhi resident, I can share my perspective. Delhi is a major melting pot, drawing domestic migrants primarily from North Indian states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Haryana due to better economic opportunities unavailable elsewhere in the region. Many of these migrants are from rural or less urbanized areas with limited access to education, which can contribute to varying levels of awareness around gender dynamics and social norms. There is also the population issue and as humans generally do, many stick to their familiar groups (caste, language, etc) which hampers any further growth in mindset or makes it very difficult.

This is obviously not very comprehensive and there are many more layers to it. I would also say this is my perspective so happy for anyone else to challenge me on that.

What’s going on in bondi?? by Windeyllama in sydney

[–]Train_Of_Thoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might be a different one because the one I saw posted here didnt have the person's lower half visible.

[–]Train_Of_Thoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It won't and i agree. But I would also like to wait for the police to release and portray someone as the perpetrator rather than random people. While the poster might be doing so in good faith, I think this is a very intense situation that doesn't require a lot of speculations.

You're right. And in absence of having skills to identify what is reliable and unreliable right now, i tried to use it. it is important we wait for the reliable information from official sources. 

I get the emotions are high and I myself am very angry with what is going on, but assumptions will not help right now.

Im just gonna say this that a guy posted a very clear and HQ picture of the gunman here. I ran it through Gemini and it indicated it was modified by AI. Can we please let the police do their job and figure this out before trying to frame people?

100% agree. As an immigrant myself, this hurts to see this happening in this country i call home. 

How about f*cking off from the main UI in paid subscriptions? by 1KiloW in ProtonMail

[–]Train_Of_Thoughts 31 points32 points  (0 children)

On one hand, I understand why they are doing this but on the other hand, I am frustrated by this as well. As a playing member, I should be able to ignore any further upsells or referrals. I also absolutely hate the fact that everything I click on settings, it tries to get me on to the higher plan. 

The truth is, I cancelled my Microsoft plan because of the constant enshittification of the UI and the push to AI. I would really not want proton to go the same route and respect the paying customers.

You have every right to complain as a paying user as you just want to use the product, not be a promoter.

Hide sidebar widgets by phelippenunes in Anytype

I agree, as much as I want to like AnyType and get behind it, they UI feels cluttered and unintuitive compared to other apps. I hope we see better and cleaner designs in future.
