She was not present, the definition of which was contested due to the use of a cellphone. A crazy revelation of this(to me at least and most certainly to the court), perhaps not something known to people who are in their forties, is the sheer volume of texts(and phone calls to a degree) young millennials exchange.

I’m not an expert on Massachussetts law, but very brief research indicates that they are similar to other states in that “involuntary” manslaughter is a lesser included offense, in which involuntariness is not actually an element of the crime. Which makes sense, why would you make a crime where you have to prove a…

Her defence is claiming she has a mental problem.

My mom and I were seeing the same therapist long ago. I told her how I hated paying right after because like, I get it is their job, but it is hard to feel like someone cares about you when you are paying them immediately after the session. She shared that with him and he brought it up to me because it hurt him which…

Tiny Houses—Water Prison Edition

A year isn’t enough time to figure out the person hasn’t been benefiting from the therapy? This is why people give up. Who has the time or energy for that? Not to mention the money. There are WAY more shit therapists than good ones & if you don’t live in a MMA you’re doubly fucked.

It’s like solitary confinement but nature is your prison! Hooray!

Well yeah sure it would be a negative living experience but only on every conceivable level.

Presumably no power, phone reception, or wifi either. The perfect getaway!

Jesus Christ, it’s like you reached into my head and pulled out everything I was thinking, only said it better. I’ve tried going to a couple therapists, and it’s never worked for me. I know they don’t all suck; I just hit bad luck a couple times: one was way too new and unsure of herself; one kept trying to make me do…

what exactly do you want this person to do? Kill themselves?

Yeah therapists are very prideful and sensitive about their field. Besides experiencing this with most of my own therapists, I also was raised by one and have seen it first hand. He cannot tolerate any critique of the mental health professions, thinks any media depiction of therapists gets it wrong, and in every…

I starred you because my aunt’s husband of 30+ years (I have no interest in calling him my uncle) is ridiculously abusive. Mental, physical, emotional, what have you. And he is a Psychiatrist. This is anecdotal and, of course, #notalltherapists, but like you say, therapists are not all wonderful people.

Exactly. This person is obviously frustrated & stressed out from 30 FUCKING YEARS in therapy. Give them a break for being a bit flip. In my mind it’s amazing they’ve stuck with it as long as they have.

I always feel that way about Britney. Like she had more money than god, fame almost destroyed her, and she could live a quiet life with her boys. But I guess there’s really no chance at a normal life once you’ve been super famous.

I would still pay.

They made a right choice

I tried looking up how long it took for a protein deficiency to turn into Kwashiorkor and/or Marasmus, but as this typically affects horribly malnourished children in poor countries and not idiots in the West who decide that a 111 day juice cleanse is a good idea, there seems to be a lack of data.

It’s almost as if…

And those stupid transition scenes between food/skinning people alive/diarrhea cleanup in all of Sam’s scenes. I was just glad we didn’t get that in this episode.
