  • Keeping in mind the DSM used the word retarded until DSM V came out in 2013.

    Another history fact around the DSM is that homosexuality was a mental disability but that was removed way back in 1974 and society didn’t shift as quickly with it as it has now.

    The issue with retard is that it is describing an actual medical condition and swapping the word isn’t going to change that.







  • This is a trash analogy because everyone knows Nazis hate Israel, it’s part of their ideology.

    A former republican vice president endorsing a democratic president candidate is note worthy because it’s goes faint their ideology.

    That you choose to reach for Nazis to make your argument is the clearest Godwin Law I’ve witnessed in a long time.


  • I would expect you’d be in prison for at least five years so are you suggesting you’ve killed someone while in prison or that basic income is the only punishment?

    In any case, I am not suggesting anything concrete here, just going forward with the thought experiment. Basic income first, then we can work on how to use it as a deterrence.

    Losing it for life is too drastic and isn’t what any behavior specialist would suggest.

    There needs to be a path to earn it back. For example, hours of community service based on the offense and that increase with each offense.

    It would also want to incentivize future legislatures excluding people by targeting groups. The drug war and its imbalance towards treatment of minorities as an example.




  • I haven’t had a problem.

    iPhone with Screen time and communication limits means I can control how much time they spend in the device and in which apps and I control who they can contact.

    Don’t approve any apps that allow social features.

    Talk to them about the realities of the internet and the wider world.

    All of this has to happen at some point. If you just hand off a phone to an 11 year old or even a 14 year old workout doing any of the above, you’re still going to have issues.

    Much of what is being said about tech is the same as was said about tv and video games. The only studies you’re going to hear about this are the ones that confirm the societal biases.

    If you don’t seek counter opinions of this topic you’re playing into the same fear mongering every generation of parents has had about the new thing.

    Dancing, rock and roll, tv, video games, and now phones. Every time, everyone thinks this time is different and every time it hasn’t been.
