I'm just gonna assume you are making a bad joke rather than saying the couple hundred functioning steam locomotives have anything more than a negligible impact on the environment

That is a hilariously bad reading of what this meme is about.

fuck ya hobby i guess.

I’m a man. I’ve been to therapy. I went back to university and got my degree in my 30’s. Now I’m happy with who I am as a person. My hobbies are gardening, coffee, video games, and electronics. I volunteer as a tutor twice a week helping high school kids with their home work. Are you saying I should give all that stuff up and go back to therapy?

But my statement that pretty much everyone needs therapy, especially men, still stands.

i don't disagree per se, but i also don't agree either, therapy doesn't solve problems, unless they're maladaptations, in which case it can be used to rectify them, otherwise it's providing functional coping mechanisms to people who need them for things that they simply cannot function around.

But there is also a discussion to be had around whether certain maladapted behaviors are even a problem to begin with. Because arguably there is a larger societal problem with how we treat individuals, which leads to what are classified and defined as problems, but in reality, might just be someone trying to engage in something that they can't engage in via healthy means. Alcohol and gamling aren't a thing for everybody for a reason, but apparently society is a thing for everyone all the time, and anything other than that is "bad"

Oh and also we need enough therapists, to be able to therapy everyone, currently we have significantly less than we need, and college turn out rates are lower as of recent, than just about anything else. So uh, good luck recommending what is probably a distant future solution? Because we certainly don't have enough people in the field now, and we definitely don't seem to have many people wanting to go into the field themselves.
