    Sadly, this is consistent with my experience with hospitals. The schedules are constantly in flux and no one bothers to tell the patients/advocates. It really sucks and seems unnecessary. Sorry that happened to you.




  • Thanks for your reply. I feel you mischaracterized my response, likely because you didn’t understand it, in which case, likely because I did not express it well.

    I don’t care whether op leaves Reddit, it’s not an important issue to me, and it has absolutely nothing to do with purity. I was responding to the idea that it’s hard to leave reddit, which may feel true for op, but, just as you suggested, if everyone took that attitude with everything, positive change would be stymied, and your suggested resort to suicide would make a lot more sense. Making space (e.g., by leaving an abusive relationship of one kind or another) can seem hard or scary, but I stand by it as a means to enable better things to come. What op wants to do with that is up to them.

    I hope that’s more clear.










  • Hate crimes are born from opinions. My point was that at that age a lot of people think some awful things.

    That may be, but my point was that the call for jail was due to their “opinions” fueling an impactful crime. You said yourself, despite the awful beliefs you held at that age, you’d have never committed such an act. I think that’s an important distinction.

    I don’t think they should be jailed for life at the age of eight years old for it.

    FWIW, I can appreciate the reasons that there is a juvenile court system in the US and agree that life without parole seems excessive based on my limited understanding of the crime and its context.
