Probably something along these lines:

How do you know she was fine before? Just because someone is keeping their public image clean doesn't mean they're not dealing with severe issues. A good friend of mine was often seen as "fun and qwerky" during manic episodes before gaining access to medication.

My personal experience is that as soon as the person claims they don't want/need help, the people around them pull away and claim they did everything they could. People need to realize that ill people often don't realize they need help and aren't always truly capable of making that decision for themselves despite…

No, it really isn't. You can't expect a person with a mental illness to follow normal logic. I know someone with BPD who thought that strangers talking to each at a retail store were actors hired by their family to indirectly threaten them. I could come up with hundreds of other examples just as bad. This person took…

I didn't even read the article, I just jumped to the comments to see if this bothered anyone else. Most mentally-ill people don't even have the capacity to defend themselves, and the stigmatization makes it that much harder for them to get treatment. It marginalizes not only the ill people themselves, but those that…

100k words is approximately 250 pages of paperback print. If it's really 2 million characters, were looking at ~5k pages of print. To get an idea of how long localizations can take, it took a team of fans about 3 years to fully localize Fate (unofficially of course) and it was only approximately 600-800k words.

Y is choking/strangling X.

A lot of people I know had been playing FFXI for years and were looking forward to a more traditional single player battle system. XII's battle system felt like XI-offline where you control the whole PT on your own. I personally thought the battle system was well done, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I would have if…

So, if someone signed one of these contracts with an X in modern times should it be enforced? Just because something is written down on paper doesn't make it ethical or legal.

The local rock station airs Infotrak on Sundays. That first quote sounds like something I heard on it this morning. The program had another person on later that stated that people can use money to make themselves happier if they used it in the right way. The lady being interviewed claimed that using money to buy…

Yep, many western societies are of the opinion people that DV is a personal issue between a couple and not to interfere. Even in places where it's not generally acceptable, people have the idea that not getting involved is the default, and doing something is good. This makes it a lot easier to stand by and do nothing,…

I found that talk interesting when it first came out. He presented a lot of good information. At first I totally agreed with him, but then I realized there's one piece of data that I don't recall him talking about. Of the money brought in through advertising, how much of it is new money that would normally have been…

Actually, if her face wasn't quite so long (or would it be tall? I'm not sure if its the jaw or the cheekbones or a combination of both) Faith would look a lot like my aunt (100% Japanese) when she was younger. I think Faith's eyes look a lot more realistic if you try to imagine them without the eyeliner.

I think it says something about people when they automatically think that people are badmouthing them whenever they can't understand the language. It almost feels like their subconscious is saying "hey, I'm suck a jerk to people that are different than me that I would smack talk me if I was in their shoes."

I've met a lot of women in that age range in MMOs. I helped one of them, a grandma, learn how to play kitty druid.

I had a female nightelf rogue in WoW. Whenever guys started hitting on me I'd start trolling them to oblivion. Just as annoying were the guys that pretended to be horny girls to try to get free stuff. I trolled the shit out of them too. I figured if I just told them to fuck off they'd move on to someone else, but if I…

I knew a lady in XI who played a male elf and would never get on voice chat for fear of harassment. This was in a game where many people spent over 400 hours to get to max level and there was no such thing as a name change or a server transfer which meant that you could get blacklisted by the majority of the server…

It's simple. They see a large, open-world game which is part of a successful franchise with global name recognition (in the gaming market) with a user-base dedicated enough that they're willing to produce additional content for said game for free and dismiss the dignity shown to females as a side issue.
