Days later, the Silvers said they received their son’s medical records, which showed less than two weeks before his death, Biruk told his therapist twice that he was suicidal and had a plan – similar to the way he died. Katy said she couldn’t believe what she was reading. Katy emailed his therapist, asking, “You spoke to me every day. I called you every day. How could you not tell me?” She told KSL she received no response.

I work in mental health and that’s pretty much grounds for having your license suspended. Along with all the other investigations into this organization, it’s hard to justify why they should be allowed to continue to operate.

ITT: a lot of dumb, presumptuous comments that completely miss the legal point of the case.

That being: should majority groups (e.g. Whites, men, heterosexuals, etc) have to provide a greater amount of evidence to prove they’re being discriminated against than minority groups.

But no, forget about that. Just call the plaintiff a worthless Karen, completely ignoring the fact that employers regularly choose arbitrary reasons for firing people or denying them promotions which have nothing to do with their actual reasons for doing so.

“Maybe if they weren’t trying to do their jobs, I’d have some sympathy!” LOL.

For me, it’s on a case by case basis. True, you do have some sociopathic cops out there who just enjoy harassing and assaulting people, and they need to be put in prison. But you also have cops that are just trying to do their jobs and have to deal with some unreasonable and violent members of the population. They deserve the right to protect themselves and the public.

Your suggestion that all cops use violence because they want to hurt people just demonstrates prejudice on your part, and is good grounds for me to dismiss your opinion completely.

They should just send him some human feces topped with lettuce, onions, and tomatoes, in a hamburger bun, in a bag that says “Enjoy your ass burgers, Elon.”

It’s weird having a branch of my family that has these values and family structure. They’d probably support the idea of the male head of a family having the only vote. And yet, they clearly don’t agree that men should be able to beat their wives, because it happened to one of their daughters and they quickly helped her leave her abusive husband. Good people with very backwards ideas.

On Oct. 16, 2023, Mr. Cure, 53, was traveling to his home outside of Atlanta, Ga., after visiting his mother in South Florida, when Sergeant Aldridge stopped him on Interstate 95, not far from the state line.

The Camden County Sheriff’s Office said that Mr. Cure was pulled over for driving more than 100 miles per hour in a 70 m.p.h. zone. It later released camera footage of the encounter, showing Mr. Cure saying that he had done nothing wrong and pulling his arm away from the deputy.

After Sergeant Aldridge told Mr. Cure that he was being arrested because of speeding and reckless driving, they continued to argue and Mr. Cure refused to put his hands behind his back, according to the footage.

The footage also showed the deputy using his Taser on Mr. Cure. The two struggled, with their arms wrapped around each other. The footage shows Mr. Cure grabbing the deputy’s face, pushing his head and body back and cursing at him, while Sergeant Aldridge hit him with a baton. The sergeant then shot Mr. Cure.

As much as I think police brutality is a problem, particularly for racial minorities, my sympathy drops substantially when people engage in violent resistance to arrest. You make yourself a danger to officers, you make them defend themselves and the public via whatever means necessary. Not saying reasonable force considerations don’t apply, but if you get violent, don’t be surprised when violence is used against you.

That judge is about to get investigated.

Different category, same categorical error.

In another message where St. Clair attempted to reconcile the dispute with Musk, the tech entrepreneur mostly ignored her message but said, “we do have a legion of kids to make.”

Elon Musk, one of the richest men in the world, behaving like a welfare queen.

It’s often the first step in getting yourself out of a deep depression. The feeling of accomplishment can sometimes create enough momentum that you start creating healthy habits for yourself. Don’t knock taking that first step; it’s the hardest.

I don’t think that Cheeto is capable of stringing together a coherent sentence that has any substance to it. It’s like he’s just trying to get through the interview with little meaningless fluff sentences.

Makes me wonder if he has some yet-to-be-properly-diagnosed aphasia.

 

Posting this because I think it's an interesting examination of the overlap (or lack thereof) between atheists and general skeptics. It's worth remembering that the term 'atheism' only means a rejection of theistic beliefs; non-theistic beliefs that are nonetheless irrational and unsupported by evidence are not relevant to the term. And yet one can easily see why there is an overlap between these two communities and why many atheists scoff at other atheists who profess belief in things like astrology, ghosts, reincarnation, etc.

I'm definitely one of those who doesn't believe in anything supernatural, but I've certainly met atheists who do. It's worth remembering the two groups aren't synonymous.

 

This is a series of videos I watched years ago in which an ex-Christian explains in detail his journey away from his faith. What I like about this series is that it illustrates how the deconversion process is gradual rather than revelatory and involves a ton of back-and-forth self-questioning, tribulation, anxiety, and even depression. It is not an easy process--something we would all do well to remember while we're posting about how irrational theistic beliefs are.
