No…
The first amendment protects against censorship by the American government, ideally at least.
Private companies can and do censor shit constantly, and that is definitely censorship.
You’ve just seen people repeat it about the first amendment, didn’t understand it, and are attempting and failing to regurgitate it
And if people see you using it wrong, they’ll start off from an even worse position.
All you’re doing is exacerbating the problem you think your fixing.
Iran was the largest supporter of international terrorist organizations…
Even if America and Israel “walked away” right now, we’re going to have reverberations for decades.
Best case scenario even, all those groups are going to harbor a grudge their funding gets cut off, and they target America and Israel. Worst case whoever gets the keys to Iran continues to support them, possibly even more because we just killed not only their leader, but everyone who was in a position to take over.
The goal isn’t to treat addiction.
It’s to repress urges to make their followers frustrated, angry, and willing to overthrow modern society…
It’s not a new tactic. But it’s hard to convince young men to stop jacking off.
It’s weird to see people still think taller = healthier when we have decades of research showing that’s almost always the opposite.
Like, you need proper nutrition to grow to max height, but that’s different for everyone and once you crack 6 feet there’s a bunch of random issues, even significantly higher cancer rates just because there’s more of you for solar radiation to travel thru.
But mostly biomechanical issues because just increasing the size of everything x% across the board doesn’t work. Eventually it fails or wed have evolved to all look like Andre the Giant by now.
Everyone always just thinks about a five minute interaction between a bigger and smaller caveman, but there’s more that goes into evolution and successfully passing on genes long term than winning a 2 minute fist fight.
This is the road that “pre-emptive strikes” lead to, and we should have learned that lesson after 9/11.
This admin is just so incompetent it’s undeniable that’s it’s bullshit.
Saying an attack is gonna happen so you have to attack isn’t a valid reason whether it’s an individual or a country. And if you allow it, eventually someone will say that they can’t show us the proof, then they’ll stop pretending they had proof.
Midterms are the kind of the last peaceful offramp, and it might be closed.
Gee…
Maybe we shouldn’t have had presidents from both parties normalize “support this other country no matter what” for decades…
And that presidents from both parties didn’t say anything when Israel canceled annual elections the last five years. Like, Israel isn’t a democracy anymore, considering they’re the reason we’re having war in Iran again, they’re obviously just going to keep doing this as long as it works.
And trump has openly been saying for years he loves the idea and wants to do it to.
Even if this calms down by our midterms, he’s gonna start new shit before the election because he’d rather be at war and in power than out of office and in jail. Hell create whatever chaos and damage keeps him in power, there’s no line.
Just like Bibi, their only goal is to die in office. And they don’t care how many of us die in the process
There is a strategic purpose…
They don’t want peace, even if that’s because they won.
They want a constant war as an excuse for why they can be the only ones in power.
Killing a bunch of kids, makes sure the other side won’t surrender. Even if the government does, you can claim all the people who want to kill your for killing kids are terrorists, and that they didn’t surrender.
Which makes it even worse.
I mean, the CIA got him in power to begin with…
Iran had a relatively progressive democracy before we installed their authoritarian theocracy in exchange for cheap oil. Khamenei was very involved in that.
Israel has been trying to kill him ever since.
Yeah, don’t take anyone’s word on this stuff.
But Ken Martin ran Minnesota’s state party for a decade, so he’s got a long and public track record you can look into.
I wouldn’t just blindly put faith in him, and definitely not the party.
But he’s legit. He won’t influence any primary, but the second Mamdani won his primary, Martin immediately said that’s the type of candidate he wants for president, both in policy and charisma.
why would you say they have changed?
Because I’m talking about the DNC and that is ruled by the chair with full.power and no accountability to anyone until 2029 when his term is up…
You’re talking about Schumer and Jefferies…
They were elected to congressional leadership positions a few weeks before Martin was elected chair.
They got their position the same way neoliberals always have: threatening to cut off funding to an entire state party if they’re not supported.
That threat had weight and decades of history that they’d follow thru, so they got their spots.
Then just a few weeks later they became lame ducks after the chair election broke from neoliberals for Martin. That’s why no one cares what they say, and politicians are comfortable criticizing them more.
When the next Congress gets seated in less than a year, they (Schumer/Jeffries) have absolutely zero chance of retaining leadership, and with Martin at the helm of the DNC and dumping all that stolen money back to the states, the fresh congress can elected congressional leadership that reflects who they actually want.
There’s a lot of shit to be negative about right now, but the party is in better shape than it has in generations. Just don’t expect billionaire owned media to tell you any of this.
Now that the DNC is out of Bibi’s pocket, we got a real chance to flush every pro-Israel hypocrite with a D by their name out of office.
It can’t be both, you can’t support Dem party values and support Israel.
The issue was while neoliberals were running the DNC, the only metric they cared about was how many donations you could bring in. Which basically guaranteed the worst people rose to leadership.
Now that voting members pivoted to Martin, the focus is back to votes over money.
We just need to do our parts in the primaries and get good candidates to the general and not just let the ones with the most donations have it without a fight.
China…
NK…
And like a true WW3 it won’t just be two sides.
NATO and rational countries, Russia, Africa and South America, who knows where they’d fall or if they’d take the chaos to re-arrange their own borders. Think of all the governments these rightwing authoritarians have been propping up in random places
We’re going to see some treaties disregarded, new ones spring up.
This could just be lobbing some bombs, it could very well be WW3
Well that would seem pretty pointless considering the post they’re commenting on…
But I was more ranting about how people just embed giant pictures in their comments.
And the type of people who embed pictures, probably also don’t feel like anything anywhere is ever obvious enough
Why would you think people want to see giant pictures of pedophiles like that?
Seriously, I don’t know why anyone does that, but maybe it’s because I end up blocking them to see if they reply with any logical reason
And we can trust the Clinton’s due to…
Checks notes
Them lying to the American public about Bill’s sex scandals for over 30 years.
https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/09/hillary-clinton-2016-60-minutes-1992-214275/
Bills not the worst, but that doesn’t make him a good guy. And Hillary’s most consistent trait is covering up for him.
but I also think that’s how the APA presents it.
Well …
You’re wrong. Sorry to be blunt, but you’re just not getting it
Abstract The American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) is a classification of mental disorders with associated criteria designed to facilitate more reliable diagnoses of these disorders. Since a complete description of the underlying pathological processes is not possible for most mental disorders, it is important to emphasize that the current diagnostic criteria are the best available description of how mental disorders are expressed and can be recognized by trained clinicians. DSM is intended to serve as a practical, functional, and flexible guide for organizing information that can aid in the accurate diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. It is a tool for clinicians, an essential educational resource for students and practitioners, and a reference for researchers in the field. (PsycInfo Database Record © 2025 APA, all rights reserved)

Like, the APA can’t be more explicit that the DSM is not what you think it is…
And you just fucking insist that we take your word on what they say it is
But you’re wrong.
There’s nothing to debate here, there’s no discussion or interpretation.
That’s the abstract for the DSM written by the APA. I have no idea where you are getting the shit you’re saying from.
This is actually a serious threat, because AI is so fucking stupid…
It wouldn’t give the most effective plans, it probably won’t even give plans that will “work”…
But it’s gonna recommend shit no one thought of with 100% confidence and convince already brainwashed idiots that crazy shit will work.
Not just ISIS, all our own homegrown brain rot idiots on Twitter using grok too. Stuff that requires no organization or coordination, just random solo idiots.
It’s likely already happening. The AI companies just aren’t admitting it.
Like the guy that blew a cyber truck full of fireworks up in Vegas in front a trump casino, grok would 100% say that’s a world changing plan and would make him an hero.
I mean… insurance companies also treat it like the bible
Yes… I literally just said it in the comment you replied too…
The problem is laymen (including insurance) treat it as a bible…
It would be useful to have guidance like “these are symptoms that tend to present together” but that’s
Literally how the DSM is written and what it is for…
Full circle back to the problem being insurance and other laymen not understanding it…
What exactly is the part you think needs changed?
The problem is laymen (including insurance) treat it as a bible…
It’s a descriptive guide. But just because people don’t understand it’s purpose, doesn’t mean it’s useless.
If someone thinks it’s useless, they just don’t understand it, or it’s short history over the many different revisions.
The leader and pretty much everyone anyone had lined up to take over is dead…
Whoever comes out on top is likely to be connected to the last regime and will say they are the rightful heir.
But it’s a power vacuum.
We’re going to see between 3 and a dozen different people try to seize control, and no matter what they say it will be a different regime when the dust settles, even if it’s very similar.
