Then you all get to hate that one person who already read a 15 year old textbook they found in the trash instead of me, who can't teach as well as literal garbage!

Why even have communities if nobody is going to respect the individual culture and purpose of them?

“If you’re not paying for the product, then you are the product.”

The phrase has its uses, but shit like this is what happens when it's taken to the extreme.

Mathematicians: get novel ideas named after themselves.

Let's take those in reverse order:

Why do people always respond to depressed people by recommending ... going to gym?

You basically answered this one yourself:

I had seen studies that say that training or even just daily walks can highly improve mood, but I had never heard that they fully cure depression.

There is no permanent cure for depression. The best you can do is treat it. Getting out of the house for a walk, or to a gym, or just outside, seems to be a simple way to take the worst of the edge off for many people. But it's not a cure, which leads into the other part.

recommending visiting a therapist

There isn't a universal one-size-fits-all treatment. A therapist can help find what works for each individual. Sometimes that's changing destructive habits, or getting more exercise, or yes, pharmaceuticals (even then, there are lots of different types that work for some people and not others). Getting the best treatment often starts with professional help.

Untreated depression can be fatal. If there are physical limitations that prevent someone from being more active, and financial (or other) constraints that prevent medical care, there are support groups for depression and other ailments around the US (and I assume elsewhere): https://adaa.org/find-help/support/support-groups

You work your whole life to be able to afford a little frivolity. If you're just going to stand in your own way to deny yourself all but the essentials, that's no way to live.

I like my Aerox now, but it took some time to get used to it coming from a heavier G502.

Payment processors, if left on their own, would take any money from any person for any reason. This is more to do with a patchwork of laws that are trying to snuff out anything "adult" and will absolutely sweep up every party even remotely involved in the transaction.

They're covering their own ass. It's cowardice, not righteousness.
