I live right below someone who can be best described as a Batman Villain. A bi-polar paranoid schizophrenic who will NOT take their medicine except under direct threat. And when they are off their meds they go on deranged rampages, often in the wee hours of the morning and the middle of the night. And those are the…

From what I’m reading in this thread. Schizophrenia doesn’t actually exist and my father could have been rehabilitated perfectly by some unknown rehabilitation program that these same people would have been super angry about him being forced into.

You’re absolutely right. This article is full of either people who can…

Man. As someone who grew up with a father I never knew because of the disease of Schizophrenia.

The fucking naivete that the vast majority of this thread is operating under, and the writer above incorporates into their slapshod ass argument is pretty overwhelming.

Yes Yang spoke like a dumbass. No I don’t care for the…

I mean that’s such a low bar to set though. 

It’s circular logic at this point: Once upon a time, we agreed and found plenty of data that illustrated that deinstitutionalization in the Reagan era contributed MASSIVELY to homelessness, drug abuse, harassment and nearly every other societal factor that helps foster violent and nonviolent crime. People were left…

Because if it is true, then NYC probably needs to develop some sort of coherent municipal response to it. OF course Yang is going to frame it like a moron, that’s what Yang does, frame things like a moron, even true things, but if the initial fact he asserted is accurate, then even though I fully believe everything…

I also think you’re completely misunderstanding what he means by mentally ill.  He’s calling racists mentally ill.  Which he’s right.  Not all mentally ill people are racists, but all racists are mentally ill. 

According to the American Psychiatric Association, the majority of mentally ill people are not violent, and mental illness alone doesn’t increase one’s propensity to violence. Additionally, mentally ill people are 2.5 times more likely to be victims of violence than the general population, and, importantly, more than…

People like to give this crap, but if you ever saw what’s underneath/inside modern “professional” boats from any of the major manufacturers you’d be lauding over the build quality of this thing.

It already has the motor from the Focus ST.....the one we could get in the states anyways. Plenty of power potential there. We already have 3 vehicles but no pick up...I'm very interested in this truck!

Looking at the power/torque figures on the 2.0 EcoBoost...dollars to doughnuts the Maverick’s going to ship with the same engine that’s in the ‘16 Focus ST parked in my garage right now.

Then they go and sponsor the local MLB park. Seriously.

As some one that has lived in multiple states; three of which have to be the worst for car insurance (CA, IL & MI); now living in Wisconsin and having AmFam... holy crap they are cheap in comparison. Like dirt cheap. Like my monthly bill for two newer (MY20 & MY21) vehicle a 90s truck , multiple trailers, and a RZR is…

No.  You don’t see that.  When did they say that?  

You’re right. What was this article about, again?

What is the point of Elon causing the price to go down. What does he gain? I'm not sure if I'm ignorant or stupid.

Yeah this is 100% Elon’s personal assets. His company is insanely overvalued right now. They probably have a lot of money just floating around. Use the company to buy BTC, convince suckers to buy more because Tesla will take it, then dump his own holdings at a nice profit. Who cares if the company loses money? It…

This is where the Japanese really upended the luxury market - they democratized reliability and mechanical soundness. Once a $20,000 Corolla could do a problem-free 200,000 or 300,000 miles, the luxury makers needed new bells and whistles (that ironically they can’t make work as well as the Japanese can) to continue…

The bitcoiners are delusional. Join me, as I convert us to a Beanie-Baby-based economy.
