I basically agree. Those are actually insurance, and serve a purpose. Health “Insurance” isn’t insurance at all really…

Absolutely agree.
If you mean specifically health insurance… yeah this is spot on.
I think it’s more complicated for other kinds of insurance though.
That’s very true. But, it’s something that appears to be way more common that it uses to be.
I don’t know why you think an AI can do a doctor’s job…
I didn’t say it isn’t a problem, but that the doctors aren’t doing it on purpose. They aren’t manipulating people for their own ends. “Gaslighting” implies they are.
It is a real issue that needs to be addressed, as is the issue of the wrong kinds of systems and institutions being used (ER for chronic conditions, like you said, for example).
But the doctors aren’t doing this on purpose like an abuser who wants to keep someone under their thumb.
I think gaslighting is a really bad term for this phenomenon. It’s real, and something that needs to be addressed, but it seems to me that gaslighting is intentional, and a way to manipulate someone else. I don’t think that’s what is usually happening when a doctor dismisses symptoms as psychosomatic. They’re wrong, and their biases play a role in being wrong, but I don’t think they are generally manipulating someone to get the desired outcome from them.
From Psychology Today (https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/gaslighting) "Victims of gaslighting are deliberately and systematically fed false information that leads them to question what they know to be true, often about themselves. "
That’s different than the doctor thinking they are exaggerating, or that there are psychosomatic causes behind their stated symptoms, primarily becuase of the “deliberate and systematic” part.
Maybe I’m just missing some crucial info, but an amusement park seems like a fundamentally different thing than software.
Crimes are prosecuted by the state. It’s hard if the victim is uncooperative, but not impossible.
That’s… stupid honestly
So … they raped each other? They could both go to jail?
Most plastics are not inherently toxic.
I’m not autistic, do what services would you like to see?
It is the easiest way. It’s also the coward’s way.
I would prefer they did, but it isn’t the most important thing about my phone. My current phone does not, and I really like it.
It’s not forbidden.
No idea. I guess we’ll have to see the revised version to be able to tell.
My thoughts exactly.
They are overtly sexual… but not moreso than many other ads.
I would prefer to use Lemmy, but it simply doesn’t have some things that reddit currently has. It could in the future, but it doesn’t have the user base yet.
