See, THIS. Repeated head trauma CAN cause aberrant, antisocial behavior, and that’s yet another discussion that we as a society are refusing to have.

The thing that kills me is that there’s an ever-so-brief look into the possibility that the head trauma that accumulates from playing football, particularly at certain positions more prone to taking knocks on the head, is making some people more likely to become abusive criminals. And that would make a very…
Go Aunt Jean! That’s sad, but great. My Aunt Gerri and your Aunt Jean’s approach were vastly different to my Babcia’s approach. While my dad and his one sister wanted to let her go due to her ovarian cancer and Alzheimer’s, something she wanted as well, since they weren’t her power of attorney and my other aunt and…
Good for her. My aunt was given 4-5 months to live, unless she went on chemo which would—possibly—have extended her life for another year. But, the entire time would be spent in chemo, and mostly in a hospital. She told her oncologist ‘No, thanks. I’m going camping.’ And she did. And was happy. RIP Aunt Jean!
My great Aunt Gerri was diagnosed with leukemia last January. Instead of fighting it, due to her advanced age, she and her family decided that palliative care was the way to go and they brought in hospice care. She died two months later, but her pain was under control, she got to spend time with her grandkids and…
From the apology, it sounded to me like it had gone through some kind of editorial review, but that there were differences of opinion and it went up despite some serious opposition. But I could be misinterpreting.
King of the Hill would have been a very different show reimagined by this author.
Considering suicide is the 4th most common cause of death in the US, no. This is just one of the few circumstances in which we actually talk about it. And please don’t ever describe someone who died by suicide as “not 100% upstairs.” God, have some humanity.
Listening to sad men reminisce about their high school/small time college football days is always such a bore, but I suppose now I also have to fear these guys in case their failure to be professional athletes makes them evil soulless criminals.
And this is how high school and college football programs churn out sociopaths.
Hey, maybe this is a step up! Instead of blaming women for men who rape and murder (if only she had been nicer and not hurt his feelings he never would have been compelled to commit violent acts against women!) we can blame the NFL for not drafting every sad man who wants to play professional football.
Could you please pull some copy from the people that actually loved her? Here: http://www.people.com/article/lex-mc…
No snark intended, I feel like putting the word suicide in a header should be ample warning about the topic at hand. One should proceed with caution if that is really a trigger for them.
Hey, jackass, Lex was a friend of mine and was a very smart woman. Try not to be a garbage human when talking about people you don't fucking know who suffered from mental illness. She worked hard and did the bachelor as one of many try new things in her field type exploits. She also hosted a radio show and supported…
An aspirin overdose will also trash the fuck out of your stomach, I’m unhappy to add.
Paracetamol and Tylenol are the same thing.
Add it to the list of “things one shouldn’t say” when offering condolences.
Side PSA: if someone you know is drinking and talking about ending their life with Tylenol, it is not a joke and needs to be taken incredibly seriously. As few as six Tylenol combined with alcohol is as dangerous a suicide method as walking into highway traffic. It is highly lethal and exceptionally dangerous.
Sad for her family. That one tweet though.. “I didn’t know her, but she was beautiful”... sums up that stupid show.
PSA: do not use tylenol or aspirin to OD, because if you survive you might need a new liver (tylenol) or be deaf (aspirin). Among other potentially life-ruining side effects.
