Theist I’d say. Having a defined purpose in life and hope for something beyond it. It does wonders for mental health and “happiness” or at least lack of existental crisis.
Religion often provides a community and sense of belonging (although this varies by religion)

The only problem is that it’s all based on fiction. Once you understand it’s a lie, all the benefits are gone.

I’m sorry but you can be violently anti-religion without being a fascist.

Yes, that was exactly my point. I’m complaining that in the current political scene there are no parties that separate those ideas.
And yes, banning the public display will only make it go underground and become stronger, this is why it’s so important to separate anti-religion from fascism.

Unfortunately most leftist parties in Europe suffer from the paradox of tolerance. And rightists are hypocritical in opposing Islam but supporting Christianity. There’s nobody anti-islamic who’s not a fascist, which is ironic since in some ways they are quite similar, and both are harmful to humanity.

(And to make it clear before you accuse me of being fascist, I oppose the currently dominant version of Islam which is not separable from politics, and which insists on actual belief in god and quran. Once it becomes a weakly held cultural category like Christianity in most of Europe I’ll be fine with it)

Anti-depressants. I mean I know I could technically get a prescription by going to a doctor, but that requires an amount of effort I’m not capable of. If I was functional enough to put in the effort it takes to get diagnosed I wouldn’t be depressed in the first place. Depression combined with extreme social anxiety is a bitch

Where do I get a job in bioinformatics? Now that AI hype is on the way out (and I missed it) my best guess is that it will be the next big thing. And unlike LLMs it’s actually interesting.

Anger, knowing they will get what they deserve more quickly than I initially thought. I’m not thinking about rich celebrities, they are just a few people. There are so many regular people who refused to modify their lifestyle even a little to mitigate the problem. They will suffer alongside me and I find some solace in that.
