You forgot "more humble".

Reminds me of that time Bill Maher and other liberals were calling for an economic collapse during Trump's first term so that he'd take the flak for it and get the boot. Weird how nobody else remembers that right now...

You're talking about the Uyghur genocide right?

I have no issue whatsoever with legalizing drug use. I don't think it should be criminal. I also don't think I should be forced to pay for anyone unwilling to get treatment. If you want treatment, great we're here to help and support you. If you don't want treatment, then that's your decision, but we're not going to bankroll your habit. Why is that controversial?

I have pretty extensive experience with someone who is high functioning bipolar. She's an incredible person, someone I trust immensely and respect the hell out of. She takes the lowest dose possible of an anti-psychotic. She's great 99% of the time. Every once in a while, for no explicable reason (this is according to her) she drops into a depression where she wants to take her own life. She truly can't explain why, and once we've ridden through it, she's back to being her wonderful self. I have seen this cycle play out MANY times and have needed to help stabilize her most of those times. She absolutely should not have a gun. Up until the point that she was properly diagnosed as being bipolar she was incorrectly diagnosed as having depression and medicated in accordance with that. She had two suicide attempts during that time. Again, she should ABSOLUTELY not have a gun.

Mental health issues come in many shapes and sizes, but the common thread is a lack of stability and predictable function. In no way is this a judgement of the person, I would choose my person a million times over, but you're an absolute fool if you think that stability and predictability should not be requisites for gun ownership. All it takes is once.

Pardon me for saying this, but YOU don't know what the fuck YOU'RE talking about. Mental health issues come in many shapes and sizes, but the common thread is a lack of stability and predictable function.

It is actually, haven't you seen? Racism can ONLY be perpetrated by White. At least that's what the internet told me.
