Good therapy is not a random ego boosting conversation, it’s a nuanced probing of background to determine possible factors & working on implementing evidence based strategies. AI cannot do first part, unless prob fits neatly in box. But have rec heard of autistic kids connecting with AI friendship…

But doesn’t their rec process pick it up and fix the problem? It’s only a few and not that big of a deal? Unless they get burgled…you couldn’t even switch them as they’ve been counted once. Sometimes we make things way to exp and complicated aiming for perfection

As depressing as this election has been…enjoying the light: both Spud and ‘Dutton’s dog’ as someone once plastered across a local Deakin bus stop….That would be nice 😊

They are brutal. But they’re better under Labor. Can’t get things fixed in timely fashion, no guarantee of stability, no energy efficiency etc But it was Labor who have allowed people in rentals to have pets 🙏🙏🐕😍❤️

He has a slightly different take and explains history of why this has occurred. I always thought it was capitalist neoliberalism 4 benefit of insurance industry & lawyers. He has a different take related to inequality.
