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…

Mental health is a serious issue, down the board. The fact is that we are largely not equipped to take proper care of ourselves or each other, and there needs to be a radical restructuring of our priorities to deal with that. The way we live is literally driving people crazy, whether we have a prexisting chemical…

This would be a solid response if Ashley

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…

ugh, don’t go there. just because people are jerks and have bad opinions doesn’t = mentally ill. that’s frustrating and part of the stigmas around mentally ill. blaming shitty people on mental illness is not much better.

Sorry, i agree with Yang on this one.

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…

I can’t even begin to understand what your (and that twitter twats) point is.

Yeah, this article is a weirdly bad take on this, and seems determined to ignore pretty much everything except about twenty seconds of dialogue.

This take is incredibly disingenuous and the kind of thing that makes people distrust the media.

Arguing the “Ghost and the Shell “ is always a little weird. Her real physical form isn’t even visible in the anime beyond a memory of herself in the hospital as a child. She changes bodies on occasion, finally giving up entirely on the remnants of her human form, only dropping into android bodies as needed. Her dream …

This article is misleading. The Guardian blogged, in the Guardian writer’s own opinion “The US president seemed somewhat confident that Putin would adhere to his warnings..” Biden never said he was “confident” of anything - much less Putin’s behavior. Collins put words in his mouth and completely disregarded his…

Kamala Harris Hosted a Women Senators Dinner, But Who Was It For?

I read that exchange between Biden and Collins completely differently. Her question DID assert an optimism that Putin would “behave” that she completely fabricated on her own and was never expressed by Biden.

“the cheese puffs Harris allegedly cooked herself”

This is a terrible framing of events, to vilify attempts at unity and female solidarity, which is supposed to be this website’s mission.

This is what you all wanted, and you got it. Nobody wanted Biden til it looked like Bernie was the choice.

Then everybody else decided no, fuck Bernie and fuck progress, lite mayonnaise is what the people really deserve.

For real. Attending one dinner and attempting to forge some sort of relationship that isn’t fraught with political rhetoric and posturing for the base may actually result in the benefit of the doubt that leads to some positive event. These type of events used to be quite common place. Attempting to create some…

If you’re going to write about politics, you might want to have some basic knowledge of how all this works.

You can deride it as pageantry and going along to get along, but you only show how ignorant you are of the interplay between relationships, psychology, and leadership.
