  • I wrote 3 - 4 sentences and got in.

    They want people to join who will make an effort to contribute to their community.

    So their """essay""" requirement is working if it keeps out people who think that writing a couple lines is "mental".

  • Oh, absolutely. The internet adds the layer of anonymity, too, so that certainly doesn't help.

  • That's fair, and I get it. To me, that's absolutely radical, especially if it was my child who was harmed.

    I personally have just learned from experience that people who get off easy are likely to continue on the path of destructive behavior.

    I'm not necessarily calling for her death or anything.. but the punishment needs to fit the crime. Two lives are permanently gone from this world because of the careless and stupid choices she made.

  • I'm not sure you know what the word "reactionary" means if you think that my comments and opinions were "reactionary".

    The family can grieve, and my opinion has no bearing on the outcome of whatever happens. My point was, in the end, no matter what the reason, there needs to be consequences for someone who killed people, regardless of what the grieving parties think. I don't think that's particularly radical.

    It's a sad and awful situation al around. I can see why those poor families just want to move on.

  • That's fine, but she still made a conscious decision to do it. If she was one year older, would that make any kind of difference?

    And let me be clear: mental illness can make some behaviors more understandable, but not murder– if the blame is put solely on mental illness, all that does is put more stigma on it. Not every shitty decision people make is because of "mental illness".

  • It's a nice sentiment, but..

    This was premeditated. She needs to be held accountable and have consequences for what she willfully and knowingly did.

    She literally killed people. I'm not sure this can be a case of "forgive and let her off lightly."

  • It's because he's making himself out to be a martyr who is challenging a corrupt system, which is why "the system" doesn't like him and is trying to steal what is rightfully his.

    See? He's the one fighting the true corruption!!

    Honestly, anyone who still buys into this shit at this point is dead to me.

  • besides the admins of both instances can read them as well.

    What?

  • I went to hospital ER once after being literally unable to walk (unknown spinal issue). After 4 hours, they took Xrays, gave me a steroid shot and some extra-strength Tylenol, told me I have mild scoliosis, and then discharged me. I was bedridden for nearly 2 months after that. I then received a bill for 4000$.

  • Y'all silly. They already have machines that write stuff out for you with pens and stuff. And markers, too.

    I have one! A Cricut. But there are more kinds out there.

  • My old boss claimed to be a libertarian.

    He would always rant and rave about the government overstepping and forcing people to get the vaccine and wear masks (which never happened, but okay) and then in the next sentence would praise the folks in power who wanted to ban abortions.

    Like..... motherfucker, at least be consistent!

    He also scoffed at me because "must be nice to get government money during the pandemic just for having a kid." I got like 300$. That shithead gladly got a massive business bailout and just smugly read shitty articles and conspiracy theories from with Facebook Q group at work instead of doing his job.

  • In my experience, "centrists" are often just right-wingers who smoke weed.

  • This oversized shirt! It's soooo comfy and cozy and roomy. It's been my favorite wardrobe staple for months now! Plus it's got a cool fish on the pocket.

  • Dental assistant once thanked me profusely for brushing my teeth before the appointment. I always do, but that cemented my resolve to continue doing it indefinitely.
