November 7Nov 7 5 minutes ago, Derka said: are you serious. this is what you’re defending as “an innocent, well intentioned comment”, followed by incessant shit talking to everyone else in the thread, and you think it’s *other* people who are being whiny? “oh poor me, i posted that all mentally ill people should think it over and wait for the sads to pass before killings themselves and now people disagree with me, whaaaaa.” what a joke. Cry some more bitch. It’s apparently what you’re good at. I wasn’t shit talking anyone liar until called dumb multiple times by the thought police. Fuck you.

November 7Nov 7 It depends. Are you checking in genuinely because you care about their well being and want to make sure they know you are there? Or are you just doing it to check a box and pat yourself on the back and immediately forget about them after the check in. It's pretty easy to decipher which is which for the person on the other end.

No. I suspect it does quite a bit with quite a few people. i’d love to see the stats on lives saved by “check in on your friends y’all” tweets. it’s literally just this: for suicide. nobody has ever decided to pass up on killing themselves because somebody else tweeted “check in on your friends y’all.” Edited November 7Nov 7 by Derka

November 7Nov 7 the mere idea that checking in with your mentally ill loved ones is enough to stop someone from committing suicide is a false one. it’s simply not real. you can’t be by their side 24/7, and if that suicide demon comes calling, no amount of previous love, or “check ins” is going to matter. those are the facts. nobody said you shouldn’t still check in. nobody.

Holier than thou self flagellation fits better. how do you figure that pointing out your idiotic ideas somehow equals “self flagellation”? do you know what any words mean? wait, why am i asking that of the guy who posits that mentally ill people who kill themselves should just wait for their feelings to pass and then move on with life?

I don’t think you’re responding negatively to me. Your opening salvo here or maybe second post was being critical of another poster suggesting we talk to our kids. 7 minutes ago, Derka said: i’d love to see the stats on lives saved by “check in on your friends y’all” tweets. it’s literally just this: for suicide. nobody has ever decided to pass up on killing themselves because somebody else tweeted “check in on your friends y’all.” You’re all over the place. Nobody suggested tweets help. It’s being there and watching your kids/friends. Saying it saves lives is not provable because those people are still alive. But to suggest discussing mental illness and emotional well being with your kids, for example, is not helpful for their mental and emotional development is quite a take. Now that’s not what you said verbatim, but when you saying checking in stops 0.0% of suicides, you lose the room.

November 7Nov 7 Well, I tried to keep it focused and flung zero poo. I'm just going to say it was a tragic loss of life and I feel for the Kneeland family. Be kind to others and support your friends and family as best you can when they are suffering. I'm out. Edited November 7Nov 7 by BurntEyes

November 7Nov 7 14 hours ago, Nice Guy Eddie said: Sorry to hear about this guy but I really hate seeing the words “high speed chase” in any story because it puts the lives of others in danger. Since he appeared to escape the police chase, I assume the local law enforcement has a policy against following too close in these chases. Effectively letting them get away, and continue to look for them. Wife's friend called her last night - she was on the tollway and said he almost hit her. Knowing these two, I think this means he went speeding past her, but still.

Most notably there are signs. Signs that many afflicted do not recognize, nor would a specialist as they don't know the individuals baseline. This is where family/friends play a critical role. They are around these people. They often see the subtle changes We're also discussing "mental health" like it's a broken bone or singular disorder. ADHD and insomnia are "disorders". So is dyslexia. Or heightened anxiety. The DSM-5 has almost a thousand pages for a reason. The dirty little secret is that we really don't truly understand mental health. The complexity of the brain. Overlapping symptoms. Individual complexity of each person and how they express emotions. In the case of this poor guy, we do know trauma changes the brain. HOW it changes it is the secret sauce. We also know that he played one of the most competitive games there is that is based on ruthless and objective meritocracy. You miss a game. You might lose a spot you spent your entire life trying to obtain at a position with the most predilection for CTE.

November 7Nov 7 Bye week, yet we have something to hate for. Fudgepack vs fecals, who to root against more? Gotta go with potential help getting the fudge draft pick a bit earlier. By the way i bowled a 216 last night in Marshawn's honor, my best game yet. What did you worthless motherfuckers do for humanity? Anyway, hope that changes the discussion a bit.

November 11Nov 11 I don’t really care to discuss it as it feeds into PT Barnum’s desire. I just don’t understand how one can be critical of Seattle and Darnold’s success especially in response to futureman’s anti-Dak bit. Dak is a good guy and good QB. This franchise is irreparably fucked with his contract. Seattle is unquestionably in a better spot.
