In the best of cases, it can bring like-minded people together digitally who encourage each other to make connections and organize in the real world.
The internet is such a strange place
I’ve been contemplating making the switch from Pop to LMDE. Have you encountered many issues daily driving LMDE?

I was stunned when I saw it wasn’t that guy. Jokes on me, because yeah, very clearly the same dude with a new account. He seriously needs to log off, go to the gym, and see a therapist
Yep! It’s a good way to get over the fear of a blank page, but I don’t trust it for more than outlines or summaries
It’s not. Those things have worked for me and many others. You’re not that special. If you want to keep wallowing in hating and pitying yourself, that’s your choice. But remember that it’s not life and the world conspiring against you, it’s your own shitty behavior that drives people away.
It’s not great
Seconding Voyager!
Honestly not surprised. I used this company for a few months during COVID to get meds after my diagnosis, but I left pretty quickly after they abruptly wouldn’t reply to my messages and wouldn’t send my prescription to the pharmacy.
Everyone is capable of change. And I mean this as gently as possible, but it looks from your post history that you might benefit from talking to a therapist. It seems like you’re in a deep depression hole, and I know it can be hard to see it in the moment, but therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes can really do wonders for improving your mood and outlook on life.
Not with that attitude
You’re right about the differing educational requirements, but optometrists are just as much an eye doctor as an ophthalmologist. They just fulfill different roles.
Optometrists do four years of optometry school (the fourth of which is entirely supervised practice) and pass a series of licensing exams. Many optometrists also complete residencies to further specialize. They typically see patients on a regular basis to monitor eye health, provide contacts and glasses, and treat some diseases.
Ophthalmologists go to medical school, and then further specialize in eyes. They tend to treat more serious diseases and injuries, especially when they require surgery (or injections, depending on the state).
I guess I would compare the difference as similar to a dentist versus an oral surgeon. Both doctors, both valuable and knowledgeable components of the healthcare system, just filling different roles.
