I don't stigmatize people for taking pills, I hate that we are banning substances that are beneficial to humans because it makes them trip a little.
I am on antidepressants and I'd much rather take psychedelics every other weeks than taking two different pills everyday for the years to come with a multitude of terrible side effects.
There is a lot of promising researchs done with psychedelics, but because of old fucks we're criminals if we literally grow mushrooms.
The way antidepressants are used today is so that we can keep being a cog in the machine.
So my issue with all this is that antidepressants just numb the symptoms, not fix the root cause of the problem. So if at least part of the solution was fun, then it wouldn't be so bad.
But instead, we have antidepressants that makes us productive enough to still work, but it fucks up your gut, your mind, your sexuality and your self-confidence, so that you can make money for someone else.
I feel me when I am human, not a fucking drone 6 months away from homelessness.
The pills make me feel like a drone, but the alternative is destitution.
The process to install Ubuntu vs Windows is pretty much the same.
Create a user, choose a timezone, connect to Wi-Fi or LAN and wait for setup to finish. It is not complicated by any mean.
As I mentioned, most people never install an OS in their life, so they don't know how to create a boot drive and install an OS.
So the issue isn't that installing Linux is complicated, it's that installing an OS on an empty drive is not a thing that the vast majority of pc users has done or will ever do.
Someone else is litteraly paying your mortgage for you because you cannot afford it otherwise. How out of touch do you have to be to say that with a straight face?
