Plenty of mentally stable people only do the one.
If your only definition of “mentally stable” is “they don’t murder again”, then I guess you could make that argument, but it is ok to just acknowledge the fact that murder is not a healthy behavior. Like you don’t have to fight fact on that one. It’s just a known truth about the human condition. You can want Luigi out while acknowledging that murder is unhealthy and wrong.
yeah, I know so many mentally healthy people who murder all of the time.
he’ll probably kill someone again. the judge was wrong to not allow a MH conviction to go forward, but ultimately that puts the jury in the position to let out a seriously mental ill murderer with no consequences or not.
yeah, hasn’t every administration fired the entire federal government for refusing to tell the president no, coordinated an election fraud campaign, and then pardoned the people who participated? that’s totally normal.
I prefer to try to primary a candidate within my party, because no offense people not voting in the primaries is how we got joe biden.
No, this year more than literally any other year in human history would be the absolute worst time to not vote for a democratic candidate. We are dealing with unprecedented challenges to rule of law, and we need every single person with a functioning soul to scream “NO” as loud as we can. Because if you don’t, you might not get another chance.
when we got the ACA passed through the senate via administrative procedures without enough votes (senator Kennedy died and the state lost its seat to a Republican, really unfortunate. senator Kennedy had worked for decades to get healthcare reform through congress and was a co-sponsor of the bill.)
they also dislike that teachers tell children to be kind in schools, for whatever reason.
I mean, it sounds like your friend genuinely doesn’t understand the scientific method. That doesn’t necessarily make them unreasonable. It just means they had a sub-standard science education.
It does not make any sense to oppose international cooperation. Like it’s moronic outside the scope of politics- it’s just straight up brainwashed. “The people are foreign and therefore we can only ever talk to them to exploit them!” Like really?
In my state you’re legally required to remove the snow from your car before driving, because it’s a danger to the people around you. So I think it’s rude.
Fuck that. You didn’t make that mess, and they will set back any progress you make. Focus on cleaning out your own space that you control and that they can’t ruin. Sneak some trash bags into your bedroom. The day before trash day, bag as much stuff as you can, and try to sneak the bags out early in the morning before the trash comes. If you give them any opportunity to intervene, you’re going to get yelled at for throwing things out, or they’ll try to go through the stuff, or they’ll bring it back in the house. Any bit of their involvement is a no, because they’re not going to help you have a clean and healthy space.
Then do it the next week, and the next week.
Be ruthless with throwing things out. The fact that you don’t have a clear walking path means you have way too much stuff. That the stuff is sitting under piles of clothes and you haven’t touched them for months or years means they aren’t important to you.You can get a job. You can buy more things- things you actually choose for yourself and like. But you can also be intentional about it, fewer things but higher quality things that you actually can use and that make your life feel better.
our professor used the japanese internment camp case to teach us about the limits of presidential power. indiscriminately shoving people into camps was a thing the president was 100% allowed to do to us citizens. the president, the court, the congress were all like “yup sounds American to us.”
if these are literally just regular gloves, she may have not seen them at all.
Basically, your brain cells are dying, and they don’t grow back. You are slowly losing the ability to do all sorts of things and reason in all sorts of ways. You can see how many more dark spots there are on a brain scan- those are just a lot of mental processes your brain can’t do anymore. The other parts of the brain try to compensate, but after a certain point you’ll never be able to think as well as you did before.
So you just lose more and more of your cognitive functions until you die.
therapy is not a magic “make the trauma go away” button. nobody is designed to experience high levels of stress that frequently. all anyone can do is tolerate the traumatic role for as long as they can and then transition into a more comfortable role when they can’t deal with it anymore.
in my own life, I’ve only met Chileans and Argentinians with good enough English that I could have conversations with them. we VERY RARELY will get news written by Brazilians. with the language barrier, our understanding of the south is pretty heavily influenced by narrative and rumored stereotypes.
but also it’s like, I feel pretty confident that if you asked the average American what continent Guyana is on, there’s a 50/50 chance they’ll get it wrong.
Communism has nothing to do with resource misallocation. That’s a thing that some communist governments did, as did democratic governments and theocratic governments. Your comment is really doing exactly what the person in OP’s hypothetical did. It’s really not surprising that a populist takeover by mob rule did not instantly create an efficient system of communist government- that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to work out an effective system of communist government. That means they were too impatient to gradually work out a system that would actually improve the circumstance for everyone involved.
the same thing happened during post-colonial land redistribution in Africa, and that had nothing to do with communism. when you take land from the people who know what they’re doing and give it to people who don’t, then you disrupt supply chains, you’re going to get famine. so don’t do that. get the people who know what they’re doing on your side.
His mental health declined until he murdered someone. It’s not that he is “batshit”- he had a very serious issue that he could not manage on his own. When you isolate from others, can’t work, and only focus on your own pain and violently hurting others until you do it- you are not a healthy person who can mange your own affairs. To me, it’s no different from saying someone “deliberately” slammed their head into the wall, so they don’t “need” a room with cushioned walls.
