Definitely not okay. And it depends on your definition of “normal”. Is it common? Somewhat. Going as far as to say “kill yourself” usually isn’t part of it but insulting someone after being rejected isn’t rare. It depends a bit on the age.

I inherited a fish over a year ago and now I’m obsessed with aquatic animals. Aquatic snails are super cool and I’ve started breeding them to resell. Y’know, until next year when I find something cooler. Love that ADHD life

Hello one of the oldest and most trusted Lemmy users, can I bribe you to use another platform with the world’s sketchiest link?

I mean, how many rules are we expected to read?!

Oh, it’s the first rule?

Fuck me, you’re one of them.

No, it’s not at all like medication. This article literally reinforces that. It works for mild cases. Dysthymia maybe, not really clinical depression.

It’s probably been at least 10 years since I’ve seen this, but there used to be a lot of idiots on forums, including Reddit, who would respond to posts about people being extremely depressed (like debating suicide) and they’d just say stupid shit like “have you tried exercise?”

Exercise certainly helps many people with depression but it is not a magic wand

Last time I saw a good juggalo joke was Juggalos for Mitt. And that was like 2008

It was a striking moment from a self-assured legislator who is normally nimble at answering impromptu questions from reporters on Capitol Hill, and conservative critics seized on the stumble online.

Literally the next line in the article. But let’s just shit on mainstream media! Surely there’s a conspiracy here and they are lying to us!!!1

Edit: or should we got with the first sentence of the following paragraph?

Ms. Ocasio-Cortez was quicker to respond to questions about other foreign policy matters

Or 2 paragraphs later, the silly lamestream media attacks the left again!

Ms. Ocasio-Cortez sounded strongest when drawing a direct contrast with Mr. Trump’s vision of the world.

Is this an incredible article? Not really. Is it crazy biased? Also not really

A good article isn’t made better by posting it 3 times

Weird how when you google this nothing legit comes up and it’s just social media posts alleging they found this file in government documents.

I can’t tell if you’re farming downvotes or actually mad lol

For the latter part, it very much depends on the state and the disability.

In terms of helping, there are a few scenarios. First, forced psychiatric hospitalization. Suddenly, it’s no longer a “secret” problem with the brother. It’s known and he’d have a record in a court system and medical records. Extremely unlikely, but not impossible, is removing OP to a stable program. People with disabilities who have confirmed cases of abuse jump to the top of those waitlists. There are also many “light” versions of those scenarios that still make things, even slightly, better.

You’d be surprised at the number of times I thought it would be obvious and it wasn’t. In fact, it seemed pretty rare that people could figure it out. And even when they did, it was just their hunch, you can never know for sure who reported you.

Ouch, someone is mad that I made a joke.

Come on, it’s just moving, what could it cost? All your friends and possessions? $10?

Any therapist or licensed professional (doctor, social workers, etc) will have to report something if it’s a credible threat to someone’s life. If your brother has homicidal ideations and makes threats, an investigation might not be terrible. Unless he literally never leaves the house and you are the only person that would know he’s ever made a threat, then your family will probably never know that you have anything to do with this. Strangers call the cops when they hear shit. If he’s loud, it could be a neighbor. Unless he’s agoraphobic, it could be anyone in your town who reported something weird.

“Why can’t you just leave and buy a house or something” is the most Lucille Bluth question ever. You didn’t have to dignify such a stupid question with an answer. This isn’t your fault.

As someone who was a mandated reporter and made a sad amount of reports, the investigators aren’t idiots. They don’t knock on your door and say “hi, your kid reported that you hit them!” They know the risk and it is literally their entire life/job to avoid making situations worse.

It’s probably just their ex or some other person the poster doesn’t like lol

No offense but I imagine there’s a lot of posts. Once someone makes a joke and it gets shared on social media, repeats are pretty common

Why blame the far right when you can yell at centrists for trying to preserve their mental health and not engage with politics?

10 years ago, we’d refer to this as documented Russian disinformation strategies. Now, Putin laughs as dumb Americans share their talking points.
