CW: you will probably cry and be furious and haunted for this boy’s sake

Every once in a while say in a mocking voice “we demand to be taken seriously, seriously guys stop doing art, we don’t like it”

Whelp that’s a casus belli…

Exactly, I wholeheartedly advise everyone to just pick up an ohio white pages and spam their government to change the name of their capital to flavortown in honor of central Ohio’s most cherished son.

You don’t, you say thay you left because you felt that the company culture was too unprofessional for you

People should change their names as they please, but remember it’s kinda annoying.

Also the capital of ohio should change its name, so many things there avoid using the name of the city

Having seen mutually abusive relationships I think it’s far more complicated than it may initially feel like. It’s less “abusers wind up with abusers” and more that people whose understanding of love is abuse wind up together because healthy relationships feel wrong or nobody else will put up with them. But whether or not that happens, mutually destructive behaviors compound. When you can’t get a word in edgewise you may start to raise tour voice. When you get hit you may start to emotionally manipulate your partner. When you get emotionally manipulated you may escalate. It becomes an oroboros of unhealthy behaviors.

None of this makes the victims not victims. It also doesn’t mean it’s all people or that these people can’t change after leaving. This cycle needs to be broken when it manifests, and it needs to happen before someone dies.

Yeah, this program takes people who are at high risk of reoffending violent crimes and are some of the most difficult criminals to feel sympathy for, and they treated them as human beings who might just be struggling with mental health issues rather than being ontologically evil. This is something that should reduce reoffense rates and may be key to helping these men live lives free not only from prisons, but from the miserable life of a domestic abuser and from their own destructive behaviors.

If you read the article, depression is a component, but the real issue is inability to emotionally regulate often due to trauma or mental illness (where the depression comes in). Additionally they approached it from a holistic perspective and included therapy. Mind you this is an initial study so it’s good it didn’t have too broad of a scope.

Furthermore, this is treating a root cause of the issue, but in the sons (and possibly daughters) of the people being treated. Growing up with an abusive parent makes you much more likely to become abusive as an adult, and having that parent get help and stop abusing is probably going to spare some future men from preventable mental illness.

Sure there are other social issues that can lead to worse mental health, but the results of this study are hugely inspiring and can help now.

I’m not going to pretend this is an emotionally easy or comfortable approach. There’s a desire to protect the victims and write off the perpetrators on one hand and on the other, there’s the men who feel attacked by the idea that abusive and violent men are having mental health issues. But I believe in evidence based solutions. If this works, and it doesn’t violate fundamental rights (which it doesn’t), then it’s a path I want pursued.

And it makes a lot of sense to me. Every abuser I’ve had has had mental health issues. My father couldn’t fully control big emotions in the moment, and so when he didn’t have the capacity to step away, such as a car ride or a hotel room, he scared the shit out of us.

I would love a pilot program that forces domestic abusers into mental health treatment similar to addicts are sometimes put into sobriety programs.

Yeah I’m far more on board with specific information being available to everyone and nothing more. Possibly also a “high risk, low occurrence” list of things like BRACA for people who have a family history of a high consequence disease causing mutation.

And I think disabled voices need prioritized in the discussion of what genes are included. As someone with genetic health issues, I don’t trust those without them to make such decisions, especially after seeing how hearing parents of deaf children behave.

They think of it as just giving their kid the best chances in life. They really need to listen to people like Vivian Wilson talk about what it’s like to not live up to selected for traits in IVF.

Left libertarianism is great and serves as an effective counterbalance to many issues. Right libertarianism is often foolish at best and rarely includes the freedom to do things like live your life as you please

Holy shit that’s hilariously bad

Wow he really did spend millions to design a robot that sucks his and only his dick

I don’t have independence, I have a wife instead. Could I be independent of her? Sure, but we really would rather that not be needed.

Oh shit that first link is exactly something I’ve wanted for years. I’ve been linuxing from gui for a while and would like to know more, especially as I fuck around with my home server

May be possible.

Quite/entirely/absolutely necessary. Quite is better for the negative while the other two are better for the positive.
