I'm no health nut, but I was in the Army in another life. I know how to do a pullup, and can get my chin above that bar without flailing my legs around.

These people are such an embarrassment.

That is awesome.

Epstein files, murder on the high seas, it's never ending corruption with this shithead.

I absolutely would have believed she said this because she's a vapid liar with no morals.

Thanks for shooting this down.

God, I sure wish people were honest.

Treatment was threatened as the punishment back then.

What a world.

Parents who are more afraid of being judged for their kids having issues than they are addressing the issues their kids have.

Never understood it. And honestly, it's still happening to this day.

There are systemic biases against folks who deal with teen mental issues from years ago to this day.

Ah yes, we're telling the same story here.

Oh my.

My mother is bipolar. She never once warned us.

My brother was diagnosed at 49. He'd never heard of bipolar before that day.

I read Walking on Eggshells when I turned 52 because my girlfriend had it, and the book and my jaw hit the floor chapter one.

My whole damn childhood. Holy crap

And my siblings.

Fast forward 40 years, and these jackass Republicans are trying to drag us back to those days.

Over my dead body, by god.

Seeing a psychologist back then was an awful sentence. Anyone found out about it and your future was ruined. That made kids suicidal. It made parents ashamed.

If only I'd been able to get therapy without that stigma, I might have been able to better navigate what they were doing to me.

I remember getting into trouble at school in the mid-70s, and being threatened with "send you to a psychologist."

Not offered a chance to talk to someone about what was fucking me up. THREATENED with becoming an outsider.

By my parents. Who were the ones fucking me up.

I don't know you, but I've often appreciated your take on this sort of subject.

As a Gen X/Boomer cusper, the very idea of male vulnerability gives me the willies by default. It was beaten into my head at a young age that being weak is the worst thing ever, and vulnerability is weakness.

Ugh.

We really have reached the end of capitalism, haven't we?

Kelly, Ingraham, and Loomer are all in a race to be the most vile person on earth.

I never understood that, either. Liz Cheney is a patriot I don't agree with ideologically. So?

The angst over that union smacks of immaturity.

I'm old enough to remember when we were all pulling oars on the same boat, and arguing over the direction. Civilly.

She's personally caused many others to endure death threats. Now that the shoe's on the other foot, she immediately folds.

Wish I could say I'm shocked.

She's not turned a new leaf. She's just running scared.

I feel you.

My Airedale picked up a 6 pound dumbbell a few minutes ago and flung it at me, then commenced to yelling.

Terriers, man...
