Electroshock is still a "treatment" in many countries.

France, not a big city. If I'm sick. I call the doctor office, in another city because all doctors here have no places. I may book an appointment in two or three weeks. If I really need a doctor, I can book an appointment to "sos doctor", that I will pay for a part (and part healthcare), or go to a non-vital emergency doctor at night, which is expensive (for a doctor in France) but reimbursed by healthcare. I can have access to this because I'm still in/near a city.

The waiting time in a doctor office can be long, depending if they take time for their patients or not. I'm ok with that. If I have an appointment to my usual doctor, I don't pay or I only pay a little part which will be reimbursed minus 1€ (50/year max). There are doctors with exceding fees, like "sos doctor", those feeds are out of my pocket. Most of the time, we have healthcare AND private insurance, but there is a health insurance for poor people.

For medecine, most of the times we don't pay anything but there are fees, 1€/medecine box (50/year max, but not the same as the 50 for doctors).

Yes! You may want to write in this one, it's kind of made for this.

  • The Gray House, Maryam Petrosyan. It's the story of a house, which is a disabled children and teenagers institution. It's weird, hard, and incredible. It's not a book for children, nor a young adult one – I mean, you can read it if you're a young adult or a late teen, but don't skip this book only because the characters are teenagers. I will reread this one.
  • Woman on the Edge of Time, Marge Piercy. I read it recently because it was translated in french in 2022, but it's a book from 1976. It's a SF novel, and one of the few fictions which speaks against psychiatry. It's a feminist utopia, but the first pages are pretty hard.

I don't understand fluff in this context, what does it mean? I searched in dictionary but I'm still not sure.

Anyway:

  • Spiritfarer: I don't remember so much grinding in this game, and it's a beautiful game, not too long, not too hard
  • The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood
  • Slay the Princess, but you don't really play, you make choices. It's a masterpiece of narration. If you dislike body horror, don't play it.

I don't downvote, I dislike this feature. In theory I upvote when it's funny or interesting, but I don't often think to do it. I try to upvote posts in little communities to say "hey someone saw your post and enjoyed it, please continue to share things!" even if I don't comment.

I had a "cat" cat too, but nothing to say in my defense. And I named the cat who came in my yard but wasn't mine "big nose" because he had a big nose.

A lot of people asks if my cat is a maine coon, because big and fluffy –but he doesn't have other features. I always answers that he's a bastard (meaning mixed origins).
