Off to my little paradise on Codos.

I had a client who became largely nonverbal, violent, and seemingly experiencing a persistent psychotic episode, characterized by bizarre behavior such as pooping in a water glass on his nightstand, throwing used depends in one roommate's clothing hamper while using the other roommate's closet as a urinal, and of course smearing feces on the walls.

I took him to multiple neurology appointments before his guardian moved him to a skilled nursing facility due to his behavioral issues, but the neurologist was unable to find any answers while the client was still on my caseload. But.. this client passed the test trump brags about...

It really baffled me that the client passed with flying colors, but he did. So every time trump brags about passing this test, I just think to myself: "Congratulations! You've proved you're at least on the same level as someone who smears their shit on the walls!"

The center is left of the right, genius..

Well, the IDF forces pulled BBC reporters out of their van clearly marked press and physically assaulted them. Source

In this situation, the man killed had uploaded a photo of himself, which was geotagged, onto social media just before Isreal fired on their location (again, clearly marked press).

With all of the other crimes against humanity committed by the IDF, I'm certainly suspicious that these may be intentional attacks on press. Not going to jump to any conclusions yet.

And before biased crazy assholes decend into this thread and jump to conclusions about me, I don't support Hamas or Isreal here; just the victimized innocent civilians on both sides.

Same reason you'd want to live in this fucked up world full of injustice and suffering.

Most people have a very powerful inherent drive to survive, and a lot of people who think they've got nothing to live for experience a reprioritization and will fight like hell to survive.

Most individuals who try to kill themselves immediately regret their decision. This happens a lot with jumpers, where most survivors report immediately regretting the decision as soon as they are in free fall and their brains reprioritize survival over the petty or even significant reasons we had to jump in the first place.

Just after jumping and while mid-air, Ken said, “I realized, at that moment, this is the stupidest thing I could have done.”

“I instantly realized that everything in my life that I’d thought was unfixable was totally fixable — except for having just jumped.” Source

Dude Bro Party Massacre III and Velocipastor should satiate hunger for B movies.

FYI, there's no Dude Bro Party Massacre 1 or 2; just 3.

I fully support this. I don't think instances that breed hate and radicalization should be allowed an audience.

I have seen so much propoganda, hate, and lunacy from that instance since I joined Lemmy.

Look thru my comment history instead of being an idiot and jumping to conclusions about my beliefs and the complex conflict between Palestine and Isreal.

I do not support Hamas or Isreal in their expansionism and ethnic cleansing. You are being blatantly hypocritical if you support the human rights violations and mass murder of Palestinians by Isreal, while simultaneously condemning the terrorist attack by Hamas which targeted Isreali citizens.

Your use of emotional reasoning to justify the mass murder of Palestinians by Isreal is the same exact emotional reasoning being used by people trying to justify Hamas' terrorist attack against Isreal.

If you cannot see that, than it's because you're jumping thru hoops in your head to try to rationalize away the cognitive dissonance, or you're just too stupid to comprehend logic and language.

You seem very sure of things you know little about. Blatantly jumping to conclusions.

I worked with this population for years. People can change and redeem themselves. I learned at that job that we all really live in the grey, and that anyone is capable of bad actions when pushed beyond their threshold for rationality or are out of their mind on drugs.

I helped reintegrate someone who was guilty of a very heinous murder, and he arrived at the residential care facility in my catchment in shackles and a Hannibal Lector mask. Made all the other residents terrified of him..

But he soon became the most liked resident by residents and staff alike, and he helped out the facility in many ways, including cleaning and maintenance.

After 24 years in prison, he would say "I'm not going to screw up. I'm not going back." He may have still been a little antisocial and manipulative, but he wasn't a terror to behold.

In fact, most of my favorite clients were from the DOC. Clients who came from incarceration tended to handle the ridged rules and routine at the care facilities a lot better than those who were not previously incarcerated. Contrary to what a lot of people would assume, my DOC folks tended to offer more respect to care staff and authority figures. They also tended to have good senses of humor and I would often have some fun with them.

One of my favorite clients was a prolific bank robber in the 70s who was banned from his home state. He was one of the funniest people I ever met. Definitely the most contagious laugh that would bring you to tears. He had scars all over him; he was missing part of his ear and had scars on his eyelids from the same knife attack where the attacker tried to cut out his eyes; he still had buckshot in him; and he was stabbed in the chest by one ex wife, and stabbed in the back by another!

He was such a character and I genuinely miss working with him. He could be an asshole, but so can we all. He had a sordid past but he was a great person who enhanced the lives of those around him (usually..). He died shortly into the covid lockdowns.

You are just talking out your ass...

The Palestinian people are just like us. Most of them just want to exist in peace.

I thought Conan did a good job humanizing the very real Palestinians who are regular, peaceful individuals.

In the full episode, he goes around a market telling people their prices are "bullshit" as a 'negotiation technique' and they reacted better than many of my fellow Americans would have.

This situation reminds me of how they would only medically study male bodies and assumed everything would be applicable to women.

There's also a problem with facial recognition and darker skin pigment. I mean, why not throw a couple black people in the study groups!? Maybe then we wouldn't have all these issues...

The amount of melanin in one's skin is irrelevant in any sort of sense other than very real medical applications. Another area is tatoo removal lasers which won't harm white/lighter skin, but will damage people with darker skin pigment. It can cause both hyperpigmentaion and hypopigmentation as well as keloid scars in individuals with higher levels of melanin. (There are specialized tattoo removal lasers available for darker skin pigments.)

I remember a mini-controversy of home tattoo removal lasers (sounds like a bad idea in general to me!) that offered no warning to potential users that they could damage their skin depending on how dark their skin pigment is.

It just seems to me that there's an implicit discrimination in the populations used for studies. You'd think it would be obvious to try to represent each of the six skin shades on the Fitzpatrick scale with multiple participants if you're studying or developing technology related to our skin...

Edit: Smart watches that use lasers for the health measures are flawed as well. Again, that makes me think that people of color were clearly underrepresented in the studies developing this tech.

Was she supporting Hamas, or the Palestinian people?

Do you understand the difference between the two?

If you've paid attention to the conflict in the region and you're intelligent, yes, I would expect one to anticipate such a group could carry out such monterous acts.

Atrocities like this happen all over the world all the time. There's just differing levels of media coverage/social interest.

This should sicken and disgust people to their core. But it really shouldn't be surprising for a terrorist organization to commit evil acts.

Before all the crazies jump to conclusions about me, I don't support Isreal's expansionism or ethnic cleansing or Hamas and their terror attacks.

Yeah I learned about that a couple years ago as well... so sick...

I believe his criticism is the intentions he perceives to be behind your sharing the article, not the information itself.

Given the article date and the putrid acts of evil that Hamas just committed, his suspicion behind your intentions isn't unwarranted. Seems suspiciously like an attempt at whataboutism.

And before anyone jumps to conclusions about my views, I empathize and support the civilians on both sides, and condemn the putrid acts of terror from Hamas as well as the expansionism and ethnic cleansing Isreal has committed.

Absolutely the unfortunate truth..

Why should they tuck their tail instead of calling out the narrow-minded hateful idiots? They're a sad little fringe minority.

All the drama and hateful trolls are extremely similar to the growing pains of reddit 15 years ago. The rational healthy users outnumber the hateful crazies, and that trend will continue as the userbase grows.

I hope..

I donate to Lemmy.world but that doesn't go to this Lemmy dev in question, only Ruud and his team. You can donate to specific instance admins who aren't batshit crazy hateful scumbags and support the growth of healthy instances.
