I’m foreign so my perspective is a bit skewed, but to me recounts are a normal part of the election process and don’t inherently bring the legitimacy of the system into question at all. They’re just a safety mechanism that should be in place in any true democracy. If Trump had lost and ordered a recount I’d consider…

I hated it so much as a teenager but I was really cynical and pretentious then, so I recently went back to give it another shot. Still totally despised it. I don’t get it.

I really should have included a sarcasm tag. They’re not similar at all.

I know, that was sarcasm.

I’m not saying he definitely (or even likely) has delusions or even really believes what he was saying. But the OP I was responding to was implying conspiracy theories and I do not for a second believe that Jay-Z and Beyonce have anything to do with Kanye being hospitalised.

I hear and completely respect your position.

I understand he has a lot of reasons to struggle right now, I was trying to open up my statement in relation to the speculation about whether he is bipolar – if he’s bipolar, struggling with substance abuse, just having a particularly hard time right now, whatever it is, I hope he can accept help.

I mean sure, it’s possible that Jay-Z really does have assassins, but it’s more probable that Kanye is struggling with delusions. Fear of assassination is one of the old classics.

One of his songwriting partners said he had “bipolar or schizophrenia” (because they’re so similar) but doesn’t take his meds.

I usually don’t like to make speculative armchair diagnoses but his public persona has always basically screamed bipolar so it’s incredibly hard not to wonder. I hope that whatever is going with him he is able to accept the help he needs.

Your husband is wise.

I’ll make sure to tell the civilians that if the tsunami hits, I’m sure that will make them feel better

Yeah, I always remind myself of that when I hear about quakes. The tsunamis make me nervous though.

Ughhhhhh I forgot this but a lot of people are freaking out because a few days before the 2011 9.1 they had an earthquake around this size. It probably doesn’t mean anything but why does 2016 have to constantly terrorise us.

It’s hard to know how much danger the reactor represents because the officials are notorious for obfuscation. They’re playing it cool now but I just don’t know. I’ve got a lot of friends in Tokyo too, I used to live there. Currently glued to the news and quietly freaking out.

The 2011 quake was a 9.1 and this one has been downgraded to a 6.9. Just praying that any resulting tsunami from this one is similarly decreased in magnitude.

If it helps I know almost nothing about this guy and I’m still only at the nose wrinkle stage. If someone high profile tweeted that now I’d probably be more horrified but it’s amazing how far conversations about rape culture and consent have come in the past couple of years. I’m a bit more willing to let people from…

I’m not sure why “I need you to feed the dogs” made me laugh so much. Such a plaintive cry for help.

I used to defend him so fervently and just can’t anymore.

We might not like conflict but we live it every day of our lives. Anyone who saw the way Sam Bee exploded back onto our screens this year should know that.
