So they might be doing triage

I hope the people that really need help get the help they need

[-] Kintarian@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

That does seem like a nicer way of saying it

[-] Kintarian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

A lot of people who desire to help others don't really do so because they want a better world; they do it for the sake of their own fee fees, because they want to *feel* like a good person who helps others out. 

--Here you're saying that they are being disingenuous and glorifying themselves which means you probably think they don't really want to help people at all.

As such, they're willing to violate the others' agency and consent and force their "help" down your throat, even if they aren't actually helping jack shit but being just a burden; and they get really pissy when you correctly highlight that they are not helping and impose some boundaries. (inb4 "but I have good intentions" - go pave Hell with them dammit.

--Here you seem to be saying that they're forceful and arrogant and should probably go to hell

That is not just social workers, mind you. You see people like this in all professions and environments. However, I believe that there's a disproportionate large amount of those among social workers due to the nature of their job, simply because social work is all about helping others out. 

--You see this across the board in similar professions and bureaucracies which could be true, I'll admit

Couple that with bureaucracy. There's a high chance that your info is in some database as "refused help". Guess how someone who, unlike you, needs and wants help but declines it due to pride would get into that database? "Refused help". So the next social worker checking your entry will see it as someone who potentially might want and need help.

--Here you say that I probably could be put on some blacklist and every time I open my mouth they're going to come shove it down my throat again. 

Now, I'm not necessarily saying you're wrong, I just don't think I would have put it so bluntly.

Sounds good. I think I'm just going to not open my big fat mouth next time.

[-] Kintarian@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Thanks, I appreciate that

[-] Kintarian@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Good point. And I might have come across a little defensive, as someone else mentioned. My next strategy is simply not to ever bring it up again. It's apparently not a fun topic of conversation when it comes to doctors and hospitals.

For instance, she showed me a piece of paper where she put little yellow stars on all of the different resources. One of which was for $700 a month. I said that I don't want to pay money for rent and utilities. She then said okay well here's this place where you can live with a roommate. I said I'm not really a people person, I don't want to live with a roommate and she said well you might make a new friend. And it kind of went on like that for a while.

I see your point, but I'm currently sitting in an easy chair at my mother's house. I just had a shower, and a snack and now I think I'm going to eat some ice cream while I watch Wheel of Fortune.

Wow, I really need to keep my eye on voice to text.

In general I don't really like to hurt other people's feelings. But I also like to have my freedom to decide to do things the way I want. I can see your point but it seems kind of harsh.

[-] Kintarian@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

I have clean clothes, I go to the laundry regularly, I have a portable shower, I have a portable toilet. I brushed my teeth, I clean my body, I get exercise everyday, I try to eat a low fat high fiber diet.

Let me preface by saying, I have my SUV all set up with a bed and a kitchen and all the amenities I need to camp out in the woods. I like it that way I'm enjoying myself I see no reason to change.

A couple of times I have mentioned that when seeing a doctor and the next thing I know, here comes the social worker with a stack of papers. I tell them that I'm doing fine. That I like how I'm living. I didn't ask for any unsolicited help. And they don't seem to listen at all. At some point they just leave me with a bunch of paperwork in a huff. I don't understand why they get so upset just because I don't want their help.

I've tried several types of artificial intelligence including Gemini, Microsoft co-pilot, chat GPT. A lot of the times I ask them questions and they get everything wrong. If artificial intelligence doesn't work why are they trying to make us all use it?

Someone said I keep replying to myself. I often long press the comment and tap reply or tap the comment and tap reply. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Edit to clarify. When I get a message in my inbox, I long press on the blue highlight and tap reply. Is that what I'm doing wrong?

Single player RPG (lemmy.world)
submitted 3 weeks ago by Kintarian@lemmy.world to c/gaming@lemmy.ml

Even on Android it seems like every game they put out these days is a gotcha MMORPG. I don't really like playing with other people because they keep telling me how bad I am at the game. It's just a game. So I was wondering if there was a good Android RPG that doesn't have any social or gotcha parts of it.
