I do think that the attack on the unh ceo wasn't necessarily left wing. I think it's just a spoiled rich kid who lashed out because he hurt himself doing spoiled rich kid things and took his frustration on not being immediately cured by current medical technology on the CEO of a company he didn't even have a business relationship with.

I thought the secret passphrase was "I have a kilogram of cocaine hidden somewhere in my body".

I'd agree entirely with your tl;dr. Makes actual research a good idea.
But I've known some people on heavy anti-depressants, and the higher the dose, the flatter their affect, the less they care about anything at all, forget about just emotional pain. It's fine.
Metaphorically, a state like that has to be emergency first aid. Some people with fibromyalgia do end up on opiates for the rest of their lives, but it's not heathy for their body or mind in the long term. If there was a way to just cure it, that would be infinitely preferable.

A lot of the anti-depressants are like morphine for the soul.
The problem is that you kill the feeling, but the pain isn't the problem, that's just warning you about the damage. If you walk around on a broken leg, you're grinding bone on bone and eventually your leg will never heal.
Some people do have Fibromyalgia and the physical pain goes off for no apparent reason, but even that's a condition we don't know how to cure, but would prefer to if we did know how.
The problem is that if we're using the broken leg analogy, then that might explain why the United States, a country with a uniquely powerful child psychiatric drug culture, has things like school shootings -- One of the risks when you walk around on a broken leg is that a vein or artery gets cut and you bleed out internally.
that isn't to say that every single kid will go out and do it -- most would never -- but on the other hand, we know that virtually every school shooter was known to have major problems ahead of time. The columbine shooters famously were one signature away from being locked up for some of their behaviors. Oh, will you look at that, one of the two was on SSRIs.
Imagine for a second that you took someone who should be basically stuck in their room they're so broken, and then you turn the volume down enough that they can pretend to function. They're still broken, and the shards of bone didn't go away. They're just floating around and maybe everything's fine, but maybe one of those shards cuts something vital.

'“We are happy to report that the Metro officers assigned to protect the multimillionaire failed presidential candidate are back on the street fighting crime,” the union’s board told Fox News Digital.'
holy fuck, I never expected the LA police union to say something so based, even by accident.

Looks a little like Bill Nye in a skirt, no doubt.

I know what you're saying, but I kind of get a kick out of the idea that Carney has to clear it with Trump's team.
Well, we are officially in recession, conflicts from other continents are erupting in virtually every province, pretty sure we've still pissed off the leader of the Free World...
Let's go for a jog.

This article makes the same obvious error I see often: "when the bad man is gone maybe they'll treat us better"
When you're facing an abuser, the scapegoat going away doesn't change their behavior. They just find a new scapegoat.
Trump could die today, and in 15 years they'd treat him like the Democrats treat George W. Bush today -- as a respected elder statesman who isn't like the bad man today, and is a sign of a more respectful time before all this division.

I do think most people in Hollywood should be forced to wear masks, but not the same ones.
First physical copy of Future Sepsis came in. Turned out pretty well. Here it is next to my first book.
The police chose this path.
Why? Because sitting at a desk and "catching bad guys" for saying mean things online is easier and safer than going after people who break actual laws that violate other people's rights.

[Admin Mode] It's been a bit dodgy the last couple days, looks like autovacuum hasn't been running correctly so I've got terrabytes of extra junk floating around making life harder in the database. Trying to clean things up this morning. Site should remain up, but the dodginess will continue until I've solved the issues.
I did the math on batteries once. For a 1GW power plant, would need hundreds of thousands of tonnes of lithium ion batteries for a 24h backup. Since lithium ion is a pain to get the minerals for, if we were to go with more common lead acid batteries, you're potentially getting into millions of tonnes of batteries for a single plant.
Some people then go "Oh, that's fine we'll build them once and then we're done", but that's not how batteries work. They have a limited life, and will have to be replaced, so we're talking about replacing millions of tonnes of batteries every couple decades. "Oh, that's a lot, but what's the big deal? We'll do that and then our green energy journey is over!" Nope! That's one power plant. New York State alone would require 41 of these plants.
The way these people talk is insane. Absolutely insane. It's true that batteries store energy, but the amount of energy we'd be talking about storing would need geological levels of batteries. To replace all electricity production with things like wind or solar, you'd need to create so many lead acid batteries that you'd probably use up every ounce of known elemental lead on Earth.
That's where stuff like nuclear and hydroelectric wherever it's remotely possible are basically mandatory because they don't have a marginal carbon emission per kilowatt and they run 24/7.
So yeah, shadowman isn't the only one who has something to say about it.
