wow thanks im cured /s
How would that advice be useful?
Yeah... That's the joke...
Hey kid, wanna try some depression? The first time is free!
Have you tried taking a walk outside in the sun while eating better and getting more sleep?
Still depressed but now have second degree burns
Second degree‽
Those are rookie numbers. You gotta bump that up to third at least.
They mean the advice does not acknowledge the risk of going into debt then becoming depressed
At no point was that mentioned in the OP
The post is saying that the helpful advice is about making choices and omits things outside of your control, like depression, that can lead to the same result.
The post isn't saying to not be depressed.
It’s a sarcastic take on common advice. It’s implied by the inanity of the suggestion. Most people got it, wasn’t something you saw. You’ll get it next time :).
Pretty sure I got it and you meant to reply to breadsmasher.
Yup.
what? it literally does say that.
"Don't suffer' is different than "Don't choose to be".
