The idea, this year, is to prevent certification. Then they can manipulate the system through a compliant Speaker of the House to finagle a Trump win. If federal monitors are there, it will undermine this plan.

Gog.com is always worth a look. I found a functional copy of Sid Meiers Alpha Centauri there.

It’s nice over here, it’s not the same 15 questions across subs every 3 days. It’s not the same recycled stories ad nauseam. And, there’s more Gowron.

I just read an article about a ballot box being lit on fire in a heavily blue locale. After my initial horror I thought why there as opposed to anywhere else blue? There’s a tight contest for the house rep in that district, a purple district.

Rich entitlement. It’s not enough to be comfortable and have the capacity to play for the rest of your life, you have to bulldoze through others because you feel entitled to their stuff too.

Final Fantasy. Flowing dramatic artwork. 18 pixels of character (hyperbole, idk the actual pixel number.)

I don’t think anyone is denying that these things are said. The argument is Frances is one physician and academic of many with an opinion on the matter.

Doctors and academics argue and debate. It’s kind of a thing.

Like it or not, psychology is a ever developing science. It is also teeming with academics who like to argue their point, whatever it is. Butting heads is a time honored tradition.

One piece of DSM-IV cluster B he’s referring to is this. The way NPD and BPD are written in the DSM-IV they are mutually exclusive. Not so in the DSM V. In the DSM V the two dx are more nebulous and there can be overlap. The science has changed.

Personality disorders are still heavily argued and discussed such that there will probably be more changes to them when the DSM-VI happens.

I do agree, there should always be a discouragement from armchair diagnosing for the exact reasons he is stating. And why real diagnoses remain with doctors and not randos on the internet. But what Frances states does not extend to denying what appears to be a highly disfunctional problem that has gone even further off the rails after 8 yrs. That does even more people a disservice, especially now. It would also be weird from a guy, who from the title of his book, is going so far as to question the sanity of an entire nation.

You don’t have to ignore the elephant in the room. That’s an active choice. So is not ignoring the elephant in the room. Media spent a lot of time ignoring that elephant, which is probably, in part, why we are on the bad timeline right now. It is also why everyone with at least one functional limb should probably point to it now.

No one was quiet about Biden. Should no one have mentioned the word Dementia after the Trump Biden debate? Would it have been helpful to ignore it, for the reasons Frances states? Where would we be now if dementia hadn’t been heavily discussed?

We’re on DSM-V-TR. (2022).

DSM IV-TR had its last iteration in 2000.

People are still arguing about some of the changes. But that’s academics.

He’s more than narcissist in the sense that we throw that word around, like we throw the term OCD around. That man is a raging Cluster B personality disorder.

The kids comment. Have you read about Elon’s dad? The guy apparently groomed his stepsister, the sick fuck.

And Elon echoes the guy with his we’re only on earth to reproduce crap.

Wait. Why does it have ads? Aren’t you paying them for an ad free experience? If not, what’s the point?

I know nothing about Project 2025. Oh yea, Project 2025 author is on the team.

Because people aren’t broke enough.

To quote Eminem: Guess that’s why they call it window pane.

Steam, Kindle, Audible, what was that movies site?

FB is also threatening bans for posting any links to it.

I need a bot then. I click through 7-8 of those and still don’t pass.

Bingo. Temu and Aliexpress. Same site, really.
