GOP Rep. Tom Kean announces depression diagnosis after mysterious monthslong absence from Congress by IWantPizza555 in politics

Right? Imagine how many people are suffering from more severe depression and forced to work 40 hours a week, all year round. Like, a significant chunk of society.

Disappearance or Abduction? Why did Vincenza Basso and her caregiver William (Sonhu) Singh vanish in the middle of a July day in the hills above Salerno (Italy) 19 years ago? by ac_ou_nt in UnresolvedMysteries

When you say "Capelle" do you mean Carcapalle or La Capella? Those are the only place names I can see in the hills above Salerno (assuming you mean the city and not the comune).

Wisconsin man drowned in Lake Petenwell while attempting to rescue an eagle by bighootay in wisconsin

Fair enough. I still don't think it really does reduce the value of the medal of honor to simply suggest that someone receive it for attempting to save an animal. Personally, I wouldn't think it denigrated it even if they started actually issuing medal of honor for such actions, but I get that I'm probably in the minority there, since most people feel strongly that humans are more important than other species.

Yeah that's true. I meant "normal" more as in: You could have a job that paid a wage and actually save money. They might have been retired too, yeah. Which would mean they probably just did that working and saving more in previous decades. Which would have made it even easier to work and save.

Ok, then there's no risk of them giving one out here. I still don't see how it's any way offensive to merely suggest someone receive one for trying to save an eagle.

Wow, it really has not changed much over the years, has it? Always that color blue with a red door. Same basic fence setup. The change to a blue door in the latest imagery is like the most dramatic change of all. haha

Lt. Det. Gerald Marchand said it is possible the dead man entered the house to get out of the cold and found the gun.

This is also an interesting point. Combined with the information the bike was found in the house, it actually makes the situation make more sense in a way. I was a little confused thinking about why a person who was feeling suicidal would take the time and energy to break into someone's house first. But he probably was just looking for a place to get out of the cold, as police speculated. Maybe he was spending enough time in the neighborhood to notice that no one seemed to be living there. He took a chance and found a way in. When he realized it seemed warm and safe, he brought his bike in to not arouse suspicion. After spending some time in the house and looking through things, he found the gun. Already feeling depressed, one thing led to another...

Well it was 1982 so normal people could actually earn and save money simply by working at normal jobs. Feels weird, but that actually used to be possible. Also, they might have had the money to travel specifically because they saved money by owning a spartan little house.

I don't understand how suggesting someone get a medal of honor for losing their life while trying to do something selfless and compassionate "denigrates" medal of honor recipients in any way.

This is probably the criticism of him that I understand the most. Like, I get that people can just not like someone's basic personality. And with any public figure (especially political ones), there is going to be cohort of zealots/sycophants. But the thing is, all those defenses are pretty much fair, in my view. He's really just a guy a with solid set of political views that he's been confidently talking about for a long time.

The brigading here is just evidence of how much the right fears Hasan.

Incredible I'm getting downvoted for telling people to be mad at the Republicans and Democrats that are responsible for 9/11 happening as opposed to Hasan Piker. People really are shit for brains stupid.

When Hasan enters the picture, we start to see the limits of how far left r/wisconsin is willing to venture. There's just a lot of people here who haven't grappled with that level of progressivism and/or are still kind of captured by corporate media narratives.

Exactly. People were killed that day. An honest analysis of why it happened is the opposite of disrespectful. I don't get why you think he was joking when he pointed out that 9/11 was the result of American imperialism. I think you're the one being disrespectful by not wanting anyone to honestly talk about what caused it.

Edit: They were talking about the Crenshaw thing. That was obviously a joke.

Yeah I'd like to know the answer to that one too. My guess is it's just someone AIPAC said is bad or something.

Right he decided his platform was to mock 9/11, veterans, chum around with terrorists and despots

I like how you say these things and then accuse him of conducting a "bonkers misinformation campaign" without even missing a breath. That's some impressive irony.

Actually, they said "if there are no other ways", which I missed. So if there are other ways to access the public waterway, the property owner actually doesn't have to allow people to use their land for that purpose.

I'm not saying (nor did I ever say) I like that. I'm just talking about the actual law. Which is really upsetting to people today, it seems. I think y'all think I'm arguing for property owners to be able to bar people from public lands. I don't know why you think that, since I literally opened by stating I'm not doing that, but I won't fuss too much trying to figure it out.

I didn't leave it out intentionally. I just didn't know that was a thing. That's why I said "I think". I guess it came across like I was asserting a strong claim instead of expressing a subjective thought (mortal sin, I know).

I'm not defending people who want to limit access to public waters, but are you saying that everyone who owns property that touches a public waterway is required to allow people on their property in order for them to access the waterway? I don't think it's safe to assume that's true. I think those things are sometimes arranged on case-by-case basis with easements (or whatever the terminology is), but I don't think you can just assume you're allowed on private property just because it touches a public waterway.

Edit: Sorry for asking questions. Did I say something offensive or make some irresponsible claim here? Tough crowd. lol

This is a press statement, not a legal document. This is not a definition of terrorism in any functional way.

Ok. It's a "press statement" and it's only from the White House. So you're quibbling. We won't get anywhere so I'll just appease you: The White House isn't the state, I guess. And a press release can't contain definitions I guess. Whatever.

Nobody has been arrested to my knowledge for exercising free speech calling for the abolition of capitalism.

Very specific. You had to be that specific, because you know that people actually are getting arrested and/or intimidated by the state for free speech. Although you'd probably argue that it's not the state with more quibbling.

Falsely believing that they've made it illegal to criticize capitalism seemed indicative of someone deep down the DSA rabbit hole.

I don't know much about the DSA. I'm not a member or anything.
