I'm trying to understand the underlying presuppositions which lead you to this opinion.

Are you convinced psychiatric medicine:

  • is not effective?
  • is over-prescibed?
  • is a worse treatment than therapy?
  • is harmful?

One of the first things you're taught to understand when interpreting data is that you have a bias. It is impossible not to have a bias.

Take for example: 1+1=2. Is it an extremely simple equation, or a decades long mathematical pursuit to establish certainty?

Our bias tells us we can confidently assert such simple statements, but the truth is, unless we spend an agonising length of time understanding the most insignificant and asinine facts, we NEED biases to understand the world.

The point of understanding we have biases is to think more critically about which ones are most obviously wrong.

Kudos for being able to say what you did, while using gay as a "derogatory" word, and not fucking it up in a way that would lead an uncharitable interpretation of what you said.

That being said, I absolutely agree with you, and the most homophobic shit I've ever heard came from guys who were so insecure about their sexuality, in a way that signalled to virtually everyone who was secure, that there was something about themselves they didn't want to accept.

What brands do you recommend for laptops?

I'll also argue you shouldn't skimp out on a motherboard.

I once owned an Asus Ranger VII. When I turned it on for the very first time, it lost its magic dust, and fried my RAM.

RMA found the MB was faulty, so they covered the RAM too.

This is from ASUS too, so I can only imagine how the chances of this sort of accident rises as you reduce the cost.

I'm pretty sure Apple has something similar. You don't technically own the device because the software it's packaged with doesn't belong to you.

This means they could brick your phone and you have no right to complain.
