Listen, I was trying to limit my assumptions as much as possible. The main point of my comment is that a change in lifestyle has a transient negative effect on mental health

There's a fundamental difference between "tip toeing around the specifics" and extrapolating for a general case.

Her specific lifestyle is irrelevant to whether improving financial stability leads to increased wellbeing.

Comment 1: “ 'Not having to get up and go to a 9-to-5 has been tough on my mental health,' Coppage said. Oh, the humanity! That poor thing. "

[Small discussion on personal habits]

Comment 3: "She'll be right in between two dudes pounding away if this news is correct"

Completely absurd^

What a wildly inappropriate response 😂

His point around 7:20 is very important. It's a trap of which I am definitely a victim:

" 'Just hit accept and play. You aren't important or powerful enough to spend brainpower on this.'

It's not about whether or not I believe that there will be a societally important reason that I personally sue Blizzard [...] It's about this very slow erosion of rights and the lowering expectations. "

My expectations of corperations is eroded as fuck mane. I literally accept that they are taking advantage of me because 'that's just how it is'.

It actually is hard, habit psychology has been thoroughly researched. However, once she stabilises she'll be in a much better place than she was before.

I'm not talking about sleep, I'm just saying that a complete 180 in lifestyle is stressful. Whether it's for the best is irrelevant.

Yeah, I wasn't talking about Floorp in particular. In fact, I read 'Open Source' from the Lemmy post title and attributed that language to Floorp itself.

After checking the project, I agree with what you've said here. Thanks for your thoughts

These are good point.

Municipal government really shouldn't be signing the city up for expensive bullshit when there's so many basics to take care of...
