zatamzzar LinkI usually use Pop! OS and Debian and NetBSD(I know, not Linux), but from time to time I've used Raspbian, Parrotsec, Alpine and Kali for various dedicated purposes.I usually use Pop!

Azure AD? Entra? Microsoft Graph? Bits of all of them? What will be called in 6 months if marketing gets tired of the name again?

I merely used the 8 character username I had since university in the 90s, and I get tons of random mail like this. I get some woman's Mazda vehicle service video reports, someone's wedding venue inquiries, tons of stuff from casinos for someone who lives in Vegas, and dental appointment reminders for someone in Alaska.
Sometimes I get flight itineraries. It's wild sometimes, if it wasn't so annoying.

Or did you just quack "psychotherapist [locality]"?
I was suggested to search thru another service for English speaking therapists where I live, which was quite helpful. I picked the 3 of the 4 that were within reasonable distance to me.
Are you looking for a specific kind of therapy or a specific therapist (I mean is the method or person most important?)
I am looking for a LGBTQ friendly therapist to help me deal with the fact that I am a deeply closeted gay guy in straight marriage. Kind of a midlife crisis type of deal, I guess.
I had tried betterhelp, but the therapist there was not always reliable and canceled or no-showed here and there (he was a great guy, though).
Yeah, I'm excited too, almost impatient to talk with someone.

It's kind of a challenge as I don't speak the local language well, but I was able to send inquiries to 3 potential psychotherapists. It feels like progress.

I know everyone's situation is complex. But I suppose mine is sort of unique. It's hard to find an in person therapist, because I might run into issues with language, since I'm an expat. I mean, from the outside I've got a great life, job, family, etc, but I constantly feel like this is all wrong, like I don't fit in anywhere.
Sorry if I've resurrected an old topic.
