If you’re poor then you’re basically mentally ill.

I couldn’t afford anxiety/depression meds and went to a professional. Literally told me, almost verbatim, “I don’t think you’re a danger to anyone or yourself, but I’m going to put you down as 5150. After a holding period you’ll get medicine.”

Thought about it, decided no as I didn’t want to screw up my background checks just to get medicine.

“Well I already put it down.”

I didn’t want to fight my way through two guards (though I wish I would have tried) so I had to go through a shitty, depressing, and degrading experience. And I couldn’t afford the medicine they prescribed me. The entire point of lying to game the system, the entire point of fucking me while acting like a savior, and I couldn’t even get medicine.

So yeah. Tagged as being a danger to myself or others because I didn’t have money to buy medicine… and a mental health professional thought she figured out a lifehack and tested it on a real person.

All As are Bs but not all Bs are As. Learned that in what, 1st grade? Kindergarten?

Sir, you’ve been caught. Would you like to offer aesthetic rhetoric to defend your actions? We need a “Why This Happened” for our consumers.

Hmm. I wanted to feed the animals because of their living conditions… I’m against animal cruelty.

Great! Sounds plausible.

Wait, you guys get stall doors??

Nice, killed a big terrorist. Also created a few hundred, maybe even a few more big terrorists, but you got this one.

Visa has been under intense scrutiny since for at least several months. We wouldn’t up and sue Visa out of nowhere so you know Visa was being discussed for awhile. I’m curious how much of this was just paying attention, like with a surprisingly high number of “corrupt insider trades,” or if it’s actually corrupt.

They’re still figuring out the internet

Kids will push the limits, school shootings are a thing, kids are going to joke/mull the concept of shootings like anything else.

I guess the plan is to increase school shootings and their prominence in people’s minds, but also come down increasingly hard on anyone who happens to have it affect them the wrong way.

(The child must learn how to hide from shooters. It must wear bullet proof backpacks. It must hear about shootings all year, every year. It must never make light of this topic, or else.)

It’s not fucked up. School shootings and processing them as children is fucked up. It’s like saying a child is fucked up for lying about being sick when “wow bro you know people actually get sick and die? And now you’re just playing??” It’s a child.

It’s using old techniques from Chinese history and applying them in a new way. Ai had to experiment and go through a lot of failure to produce such a different object. I don’t think the cube wireframe was important, just the old method being used to make a modern art piece.

I like the idea of reinvigorating ancient crafting techniques by making modern art. I’m not exactly an art guy so I don’t know if it’s a unique idea but it made me think so I like it.

Didn’t expect Elden Ring fingers

Skyrim seemed worse when it came to grinding. It’s too easy not to sit there and train on the invincible NPCs. Sneak walk into walls within earshot of hostiles, spam conjuration on rocks near hostiles, shoot arrows at NPCs that never die.

The person who grinds speed and athletics in Morrowind goes on to do cool things. In Skyrim they’d have like 8 more hours of playtime before they could play the game.

Terminating service over allegations of piracy. Kicking someone off the internet because an automated copyright system accused them of piracy. That’s crazy.

A conservative let their cat go outside and then blamed black people when it “went missing.”

Blaming your own mistakes on minorities == in the direction of truth, as conservatives see it.

Humans lived through Nazis and they left warnings all along the roadside, we have people pointing down that path saying the truth is that way, and there’s still people that haven’t figured it out.

Why was the reporter asking her tough follow up questions? It doesn’t match what I usually see. Is Jill Stein bad because she can’t afford to pay for easier interviews? For real though, I wish every “big name” was treated this way.

how can anyone think the CIA protects people?

They practice the sage art nuance no jutsu.

They’re all in survival mode too. Imagine if they had their equivalent to a balanced diet, low stress, targeted exercise, and science dedicated to bringing out their all.

Wow, and I consider steam to be utter trash. It uses more resources than the games I want to play. A web browsing engine, in the software that’s the only way to launch the game you paid for, just to show bargain bin shit. But I’m not interested in that, I just want to have a place to shop, and then the ability to use the things I bought. I don’t want to drive to Walmart to play the music I bought, I don’t want my computer to load Walmart just so I can play a game. It’s crazy how bad Steam has become.
