If CNN was serious about retrenching, they could have sold their name, fired/transfered the staff to the new company, and used the infrastructure to build a new brand. That they don't go that far is indicative of their stopping short of center on their 'rightward move.'
Yep. A story about white elves being dicks in the region of Harad, because the black men there sided with Morgoth would have ticked the diversity boxes. They chose not to do that, because it was never about the actual 'bipoc' in middle earth, it was about overwriting the canon with diverse characters to insert leftist allegory.
I made this point in a facebook argument.
It took three volleys for it to become about black kids being able to see themselves as an elf, and how there was no compassionate way to take that from them.
Facebook is retarded.
I've pointed out women not being the root of the problem on several occasions to Impy. He never replies when I do.
It doesn't matter how firmly or succinctly I point this out, he will ignore me and continue posting about women as if I'd said nothing.
If anything, his behavior is reminiscent the behavior Hitler mentioned in Mein Kampf: namely that no matter how thoroughly you defeated a Jew in debate one night, that very Jew would be back to making the initial argument the next day.
It's like trying to nail Jello to a wall.
Cool story bro.
"Depression goes beyond just sadness." Okay--to what? Super-sadness? Ultra-sadness?
Crippling self-loathing and ennui, resulting in a person preferring sleep/not feeling to being.
For mania, it's grandiosity, lack of inhibition, and risk taking behavior with life-altering consequences.
Not the 'happy-sads.' You glib fuck.
You're swirling your arms over a cauldron pretending your mystic incantations are creating insight out of bullshit.
My man. You're the one peddling bullshit and trying to incant away my mother's diagnosis, and my lived experience and trauma dealing with it. Good fucking luck.
If you like being caught in this escalation...
LIke or dislike doesn't change reality. And yeah. Psychiatry alone can't fix what's really wrong here. The pills don't do shit when the person taking them threatens to go off them to 'punish' the people around her, and it becomes an easter-egg hunt of finding pill stashes. Therapy can work-- if the person is willing to change. If not... welp.
But tell me you don't know shit about mental illness, without telling me you don't know shit about mental illness, why don't you?
The culture of mod faggotry is a bit like the monkeys reacting to with the ladder with a banana at the top:
The monkeys all got blasted with a hose when they went for the banana. Slowly the monkeys started to keep each other from the banana, to keep the water from blasting them. Eventually, you didn't even need to blast them with water to keep them away from the banana-- they kept each other from it. They did it for free,
Yep. And when they do this it's always about hierarchy, not hypocrisy.
