I still argue that antipsychotics are generally overused and that many cases that require them are either currently perpetuated or were in the past caused by technological or societal conditions, regardless 20% in these nursing homes is dramatic vs the overall 1.6%, down to .5% among older people. https://sci-hub.se/downloads/2020-10-18/9d/dennis2020.pdf

> Current generation antipsychotics also have significantly fewer risks than first-generation antipsychotics

This is true, technically. Newer generations still have severe and often debilitating side effects though. Which gives an arguably favorable risk benefit for severe conditions, but very questionable ones for one in five nursing home residents.

what’s an antipsychotic without horrible side effects? As far as I know newer antipsychotics have less frequent side effects but they’re still extremely bad. Obviously that compares to the total dysfunction of severe mentally ill people who don’t take them. But to say there is an antipsychotic without horrible side effects isn’t correct.

Incredibly petty: after a mobile pan, keep the lengths on the arrows pls

and > Texas’s SB8 will cause real harm, and making fun of people who are deeply concerned for women’s safety because of it seems borderline sociopathic to me.

Jokes aren’t sociopathic? We make fun of anyone, and where else can you demonstrate that people are too willing to fall for stories they’re mad at but with topics they are super invested in in an over the top way?

Subs like transpets illustrate more how ridiculous it is people are fooled. Thousands of upspergs on posts about dilating dogs or castrating cats. People are absurdly gullible and it’s really just terrible.

Eh, landlords didn’t explode like this one, but over the years its memes and jokes have been shared quite a lot on twatter, probably more than either of the others total did. This was definitely more potent tho

TPTK got about as much attention as the bounty sub. And loveforlandlords way outstripped both

ok but I wrote some of it and it was explicitly intended to be satire for the purpose of ridiculing people dumb enough to believe it

https://camas.github.io/reddit-search/#{"subreddit":"TXbount... See the posts there if you want. A few were removed by the mods for being too obvious, but in general it was not subtle. u/cry_for_me_fatty and u/cats_like_my_cum, etc. the comments or post histories would make clear to anyone of even mild discernment that it’s not real.

Iirc there was an actual tip line, so nonzero. The content was very obvious satire though

nooo aha don’t take away our profit margins haha it was an accident we promise haha

I’m not gonna buy your headphones or VPN or “online course”, and I skip over them whenever possible. So no point in seeing them.

80% is most.

And you can get any percent you want with bad low sample size polls. Come on.

They left it up. It’s fine. We’ve all had a year to evaporatively cool our Covid beliefs into whatever they are and the learning rate has decreased by a factor of ten. Everyone there is already insane

Not saying it should be. I prefer no censorship at all, including threats of violence, gore, naziism, pedo RP, etc. But giving an example of the sort of thing people are wanting removed.

In short, from PopeHat -

Nearly 100 years ago Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., voting to uphold the Espionage Act conviction of a man who wrote and circulated anti-draft pamphlets during World War I, said “[t]he most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic.”

That flourish — now usually shortened to “shout fire in a crowded theater” — is the media’s go-to trope to support the proposition that some speech is illegal. But it’s empty rhetoric. I previously explained at length how Holmes said it in the context of the Supreme Court’s strong wartime pro-censorship push and subsequently retreated from it. That history illustrates its insidious nature. Holmes cynically used the phrase as a rhetorical device to justify jailing people for anti-war advocacy, an activity that is now (and was soon thereafter) unquestionably protected by the First Amendment.

In practice I don’t think banning NoNewNormal now matters much. I prefer unbanned because I don’t like censorship, but this isn’t a slippery slope problem, Reddit has long been free falling into the latrine pit. I’ve had to go offsite with my old Reddit community. Efforts can be made, but I think the entire process here is useless.

r/RawDriving r/BeltFree Any other ideas for a good bait?

“Covid isn’t real and Covid vaccines will literally genocide and sterilize us”

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/federal-judge-claims-... Stuff like this, and worse

The default sub mods are capricious and irritable. Check out r/undelete for an updated stream of mod removed posts that top r/all, or r/longtail for less popular removed posts. To say nothing about the literal 100s of thousands of comments they remove to make the site wholesome and nice, or just for abstruse personal vendettas. It’s terrible.

Yeah. But Reddit already censors the shit out of its communities, both with thousands unnecessary subreddit bans and a comically incompetent “Anti-Evil Operations” site wide censorship team staffed by barely literate Zambians or something that randomly removes benign comments and suspends people for ridiculous reasons.

Reddit has already implemented mass arbitrary censorship of subreddits for no good reasons. Stuff like gun subs, r/shoplifting (which I mention not because I like shoplifting, but because it was legitimately informative to learn what they do and why they do it), all sorts of politics subs, plenty of satire subs, and even r/wateriniggas just for the soft nword. They’re ridiculously strict and while it’s good to not ban one, let’s not act like they’re good faith actors here.

Fire in a crowded theater is a poor first amendment analogy.

It’s a bit late to delete these subs anyway it’s been two years of Covid almost.
