No one can diagnose someone on the internet but the things you list do seem to paint a rough sketch of a narcissist. Thing is, people can have narcissistic traits and still not meet the criteria for narcissistic personality disorder.

But it doesn’t really matter. The person you describe sounds like someone to be avoided, regardless of whether or not they qualify for NPD.

That would be the one part of this I support. At least for medically unnecessary circumcisions.

I see you are clearly a man of education and intellect. LOL.

So, not all hospitals have inpatient psychiatric facilities, but most have emergency rooms. If they aren't equipped with an inpatient facility, obviously there's no place to admit them to and all they can do is either keep them in the ER for a few days for observation or send them to a facility that does have an inpatient psychiatric unit. Also, if they don't have any psychiatric units at all, I can see how their ER might lack a mental health provider who can adequately assess a person who comes in on reports that they reported suicidal ideation in a therapy session with their outpatient provider. However, any hospital with an inpatient psychiatric ward will usually have what's called a comprehensive psychiatric emergency program (CPEP), which is effectively a psychiatric emergency room (sometimes integrated into the actual ER, sometimes not), and they obviously will have psychiatrists to assess patients who come in during mental health crises.

My point was simply that outpatient therapists and psychiatrists are fully capable of assessing the seriousness of a patient's suicidal ideation and that a trip to the ER isn't always necessary. Patients should only be sent to the ER against their wills when the outpatient provider is not convinced that the patient won't harm themselves before their next session.

Sorry, I know that was wordy, but I hope I answered your question.

I agree. And so did the programmers at Bethesda, apparently in hindsight, because that wasn’t true in either Morrowind or Skyrim. I don’t know why they implemented it that way in Oblivion.

A lot of people on Lemmy seem to think it would be morally just to acquit this man, even if it can be proven he actually did murder the United Healthcare CEO, because said CEO was contributing to the deaths of many people by denying them essential medical treatments.

I think those lemmings have a deficient understanding or appreciation of the necessity for the rule of law. More likely, I think they’re just running on their own emotions, which is bad thinking.

If he is indeed guilty of the crime, what Mangione did is execute vigilante justice. While some might feel that what he did was justified, what’s not justified is the act of vigilante justice itself; that is, the decision to take the law into your own hands. That is morally wrong on its own and constitutes a major threat to society.

If he did it, he should absolutely not go free; no matter how much I or anyone else approves of the fate his target met, the fact of the matter is that he should have met that fate at the end of a fair trial, not an assassin’s bullet. If you open the door for vigilante justice in one case, you open it up in mall cases. It is categorically incompatible with any justice system.

Correct, the potions you created in Oblivion only had the effects from its ingredients that you knew at the time you created it. Said potions don’t gain those effects once you know them, but the same recipe will add new effects once you learn them, and thus you might need a different recipe to make the potion you’re trying to create.

If you’re at that point at 25, you should probably reassess your dating choices over the past decade.

Honestly, people’s relationship troubles almost always have more to do with their issues with their relationships with themselves than they have to do with their relationships with their partners. The two are intertwined, yes, but fixing the former will almost always fix the latter, while fixing the latter will almost always not fix the former.

Get some good therapy. It’s worth every penny.

Wait, is the lumbering seal your husband or you? Does it matter? I’m confused.

As a therapist, I totally agree with what you’ve written above. However, I also have the unfortunate experience of working with mental health providers (mainly psychiatrists in pill-kiosk roles) who will send patients to the ER if they mention any suicidal ideation out of a paranoid fear of losing their license. Thankfully, ER doctors tend to actually assess the seriousness of said ideation and don’t admit people who aren’t seriously considering self-harm, but it’s still an ordeal.

So, I would simply add to your advice that if any mental health provider calls 911 at the mere mention of suicidal thoughts, get yourself a new provider immediately. That provider either hasn’t learned how to properly assess suicidality or is too chicken-shit to do it (far more likely, the latter).

There is always a possibility that he did not intend it to be a Hitler salute, but that possibility is not very plausible, because…he pretty much did a Hitler salute and the odds of him being ignorant of that fact are extremely low.

I'm sure all the Cubans who voted for Trump are quite pleased by this.

No, seriously, I'm sure they are.

Not meant as a defense of him.

I watched the clip. Anyone who thinks he’s admitting to rigging the election is really reaching for something that just ain’t true. Apparently Lemmy likes its alternative facts fantasies too.

You really think the “they” he’s referring to is himself or his team? No, he was referring to the Democrats, he just has trouble forming grammatical sentences.

Yes, I did. Trump admittedly has trouble forming cogent sentences, but you have to be be be engaging in wishful thinking to think he’s admitting to rigging the election.

Judging from the downvotes, I guess there are a lot of lemmings that are that pathetic.

This is not a clip of Trump admitting he or his team rigged the 2024 election, it's willful misconstrual by whoever posted this bullshit clip. This is disinformation and should be taken down.

Trump’s SCOTUS will take care of this, no problem.

Only because you’re prejudiced.

Exactly! So demoting those videos suggests that China is not using the algorithm to promote anti-american views.

??? You're trying to have it both ways with this. I'm out.
