Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Man I can't even get a psychological evaluation when I ask for one. Where are you going to get an army of psychologists to implement mass judgments that are actually fair and healthy?
Have you seen how many people have "psychology degrees" if that field of academia is enhanced and they actually can understand psychology it would be feasible.
Well you get an upvote because it's an unpopular opinion. But I wouldn't trust them to administer this in a way I consider fair, and I don't think they'll just pay or house people to recover, so they might all become homeless.
I like the idea of getting a psych evaluation. I think it's a fantasy of being studied, maybe similar to being paranoid. On TV and movies when psychologists are digging into the character, I think that's projecting a human fantasy of being studied. The idea that you matter enough to attract this kind of attention to your psyche.
