FYI Izzy got permabanned for stating this opinion. That’s really insane.

F droid is EXCELLENT

One more reason I hate sp0tify

They literally don’t have a choice. No decent candidate has made it through the primaries in decades. In the GE voters can only choose between two Monstrous Goons whose job is to help corporations to dominate and exploit the citizens.

I’m surprised anybody was getting in vehicles with him after the coup attempt.

I’m all for banning guns.

But I am NOT interested in simply removing a person’s capacity to kill themselves and then leaving their desire to kill themselves intact… and then ignoring the conditions that are making hordes of people depressed enough to kill themselves.

I’m also 100% interested in the people who are depressed but who aren’t suicidal. I want people to live their best lives. This conversation should be about them, about what’s causing this about whether we can help. I want to know what’s wrong. I want them to stop wanting to kill themselves.

Again, I’m not saying “don’t go to therapy.” We are talking about a nationwide phenomenon of depression, suicide, addiction. Therapy can help some of those people. But this phenomenon has some cause. All this talk of therapy is seeking to add therapy instead of removing the cause.

I want to respond to the cause itself, rather than only adding therapy.

Therapy can possibly help heal. I’m more interested in reducing the conditions which make therapy necessary.

Increased gun ownership isn’t causing a mental health crisis.

I 100% agree but I still appreciate anarchism as a critical position. Not a system to actually implement, but a criticism of the corrupt nature of the current regime.

I’m not an anarchist but I’d miss their perspectives if they weren’t around.

The fact that public healthcare probably won’t happen is different from the argument that we should trust predatory insurance companies.

Plus you don’t have to go to China for public health care. You could go to Canada or the UK, obviously. And they’re capitalist as fuck. Although capitalism will likely get rid of their public healthcare eventually, they haven’t succeeded yet.

Wow I had to look up the oven fix, that’s crazy that it sometimes works! I’m not going to try it though. I might get a new GPU.

Thanks for the answer!

Yes this still happens on a live USB. I’ll look into the memtest

You’re suggesting that the cause of a wave of suicides is only a lack of therapy? There’s nothing else behind it?

why “exclusively” ?

How will it prevent people from wanting to kill themselves?

Where are you getting this 2a stuff from? How is it even related? Nobody said that guns will save the USA from suicides and overdoses. You’re talking nonsense.

And who is “angry for no reason?” You’re the one angry at men who are killing themselves. This is super weird and cruel.

The enormous numbers of people killing themselves are not necessarily buying guns or hating minorities. And therapy can only respond to pre-exisitng problems. If there are society-wide problems creating terrible living conditions, we need a society-wide prevention scheme.

Or you can spew vile hatred and pretend it’s because you’re against hatred.

Ugh. In these comments I see we’ve evolved from “men should man up and stop whining” to “men should stop manning up and theoretically start whining, but in practice still stop whining actually.”

It’s not their attitudes causing massive increases in suicides and deaths of despair, you fools. It’s material conditions. And it’s not caused by the right wing trolls who might try to take advantage. shoeonhead got it right imo

Edit:

I just read the article and it’s one of the stupidest and most beligerently ideological things I’ve ever read.

Cumming to my relentless trust for insurance agency middlemen.

The only problem with people being on food stamps is that their jobs either aren’t paying enough or there aren’t enough jobs. But it’s 100% excellent that food stamps are available.

If he wants to encourage people to eat healthy then that would be a fine song I guess. But he’s talking about restricting snacks for fat people in a song about how rich people are ruining his life. Just admit that it’s fucking stupid. Fat people eating snacks are not ruining his life.
