St.Clair:
It has been said (many times) that there is significant overlap between the professions of counselor/therapist, priest, and bartender.  (And sometimes barber.)

Jimor:

--- Quote from: Jimor on 01 Oct 2021, 22:24 ---As a streamer, that kind of forcing others to be your therapist is something I see way too often. Fortunately, not often in my own stream, but setting that boundary is something a lot of my friends and I have had to be very careful about. A quick vent about a bad day is fine, but too many people take advantage of the live nature of the medium to dump far too much personal information into chat and expect everybody to stop the flow and deal with it.

And in at least one case I know of, a streamer did the opposite of Faye and tried turning his stream into a giant open unqualified therapy session, causing all kinds of unknown damage and backlash. Fortunately that didn't last long, but he quit doing it blaming "cancel culture" rather than understanding what a bad idea it was.

Holy shit, I should have knocked on wood. Just had a stream where shortly after it started, somebody said (paraphrased) "Can I talk to you after stream? I'm having a bad time and I think it would be best if I ended everything tonight"

The person previous talked in my chat (we can look up chat history in our dashboard) in January with some normal "hello, how are you" chit chat, and hasn't ever spoken up other than that. I deleted the message, and suggested calling actual professional help. And they just said "LOL, I ain't calling anybody, I'll handle it myself".

I really don't know what to say beyond that.

Romanticide:
Or maybe Claire could just acept the idea that eventully the expresso machine will stain her, or any of the food products and that clothes are ephemeral anyways and just make sure she doesn't bring out her favorites or the most expensive without something to protect them XD

ischaemia:
Damned if Claire's post education experience of not being able to find a position and having to settle for a service job isn't the very definition of the millenial post college experience. I know tagging stuff with "same" "haha me" and "#relateable" is also very millenial, but I guess it would have been a more concise way to encapsulate my feelings about the most recent (Friday) comic, which I now realise I posted about in the wrong thread.
