  • No, that’s because it is repetitive. I’m keen on voting for her, but I can’t watch her any more because of it.

    .

    It’s the same words every single time. It’s like a broken record skipping on the same 15 words and I just can’t listen to it any more.

    .

    It’s like trying to play the next episode of a tv series. It’s labeled as episode 4 and the first 3 minutes looks new, everyone’s dressed different, but then they all launch into the same scenes and dialogue of the first 3 episodes. Like someone cut those 3 episodes into pieces and reassembled them for episode 4. And episode 5. And episode 6. And so on.

    .

    It’s awful. And obvious.

    The only new thing during Oprah was the I’ll shoot you with my gun if you break into my house. Like she’d be faster than SS. Even so. That’s the only memorable thing from the Oprah thing because it’s the single piece of new dialogue.


  • Look. This is how Cluster B personality disorders work. And how utterly exhausting they are. Notably, borderline personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder. We all know Trump is the latter even if he isn’t officially diagnosed.

    .

    Anyone who has ever been in a relationship with Cluster B, be it familial, friendship, or romantic knows this is true about trump. And has probably been screaming on the inside, due to additional exposure, for 8 yrs.

    .

    What’s killer about this guy and his Cluster B is the press. The mains like NYT, NBC, etc, not fringe stuff like new republic and others that we often post to lemmy and Reddit, don’t just say it outright. Don’t just say there’s something mentally off with all he says and does. We should have had a blasted wall, a boundary set against this level of delusion, but instead we’ve had nearly a decade of “let’s explore this”, leading us down the lane of what is, yes, the perceptions of untreated mental illness. That’s what a Cluster B personality disorder is: untreated mental illness. Not the lock you up kind (barring a BPD trip down SA/SI, which is a hallmark of that disorder, but that’s off topic for a Trump discussion). The press isn’t reporting misinformation, but they have enabled his mental illness and pulled us all into an unwelcome relationship with it by never placing healthy boundaries on it. It’s like they wanted a society of Cluster B co-dependents. They have helped create this exhausting reality via their own codependency.

    .

    And it’s fucking exhausting.

    .

    So what we have is this exhausting, societal level gaslight that feeds into a Cluster B personality disorder’s reality, instead of reality. This statement about Google? “Normal” for Cluster B. Utterly expected and within the operating procedures of Cluster B.

    .

    Typically, a person finding themselves in a relationship with one of these nightmare personality disorders goes no contact to get healthy again. They have to. It’s the only way. For a decade we haven’t been allowed to go no contact.

    .

    I’ll conclude by saying the obvious. If you’d finally like to go no contact on this Cluster B relationship, vote for Kamala Harris.

    Both are meh compared to home. Dough is flour water yeast. Touch of corn meal for roll out. Add time. That’s it. Cheap and easy.

    Reclaim the Pizza Hut crust of 30 years ago by preheating a #8 or larger iron skillet with oil in it, carefully dropping in your rolled out crust, making sure it has a nice edge, and building your pizza. And your crust won’t taste as sugary as subway bread.

    You have money to spare, pizza oven for the thin crust.

    Dominos is better these days if you have to choose.









  • In the kids case, that’s a staffing issue. Most lockdown mental health facilities have a tech/CNA whose sole job it is to walk around and log the location and state of every patient every 9-15min, depending on policy. In addition to the techs/CNAs who herd everyone to group, meals, and all the rest. In addition to mental health staff that run the groups. In addition to nurses who do meds and assessments. In addition to “orderlies”, not big men in white like in movies, who tackle people these days, but people with intense training in deescalation.

    .

    In the elder case, that is often a staffing issue. If it’s day shift and you have more than 6 residents assigned to you, that’s a staffing and/or state level regulation issue. If it’s evening shift and you have more than 8 residents assigned to you, that’s a staffing and/or state regulation issue. But yes, declining mental health (dementia) and brain deterioration (Alzheimer’s) is part of elder care. Sometimes it’s the sole reason they’re placed in a home, because that decline in brain capacity requires 24h care.

    .

    A lot of health care jobs would be absolutely ok if they were actually safe for both patients and staff. But corporate greed often doesn’t allow for that.

    Staffing matters. And it often will be ignored until the state mandates a law that requires the corporate owners to do better.





  • He had a whole speech at a rally meant to appeal to women. Instead, he outlined the toxic backwards of the entire Trump ticket and gave what is probably best described as a “milady” speech.

    .

    I can’t speak for everyone, but playing the probabilities, I’m going to say his entire speech was a cue to excuse yourself to the ladies room, give the safety word to bartender, and flee out the back. To anyone not already skeeved out by the guy.

    .

    But the guy is guilty of sexual assault and hung out with Epstein. This is probably what he really believes is a great appeal to women.
