Uvalde school shooting victims' families announce $2 million settlement with Texas city and new lawsuits
  • May want to read you own article before posting it....from the article at 11:35, a few minutes after the gunman entered the school....

    " Three Uvalde police officers rush to the same door that the gunman used to enter, which was closed. Surveillance footage shows the officers all have pistols, and two of them have rifles. One officer has external armor, and two are wearing concealable armor."

    They had armor, pistols and 2/3 had rifles.

    This is a tragedy any way you slice it. There is so much gun reform that needs to happen, and police did not handle things well here. People with guns are hard situations to handle, but police handled a bad situation on a way that made it worse.

  • It takes no faith to dismiss unsubstantiated claims for the supernatural and recognize what there is evidence for
  • The argument starts with the presumption that the universe would turn out this particular way. To use their own analogy the issue isn't whether the bullet fired goes through the donut hole, but rather whether it ends up anywhere at all (I like those odds).

  • These just go out with the other recycling, right?
  • You can usually call or check out a website rather than driving. Most people save them up, then take them all at once or take them when they are going there anyway with other stuff to dispose of.

    Also be really careful if one breaks (get everyone out of the room and air it out first).

  • Just waiting for that elusive moment of energy+motivation.
  • Don't wonder to hard, many of the things discussed are common and not necessarily a disorder. And when they might be it's often paired with the wrong disorder (this would be depression, not really ADHD for example). Take most of these meme and a humor communities with a giant grain of salt (or skepticism).

  • Double blind win (by skeletonclaw)
  • Yeah that's not quite it. Placebo is actually present for most/the majority of people, but they (researched of various kinds )are looking for effects that are above and beyond the level demonstrated by the placebo alone.

    One fun thing to think about is that most (maybe all) treatments include some degree of placebo effect inherently.

  • What's the general view of CBT?
  • They are going to be more similar than different really. Both lean heavily on the B part of the name (applied Behavioral analysis, and cognitive Behavioral therapy), and at their core are learning new skills or behaviors that more effectively navigate the world (one not inherently designed around an autistic experience of the world(as if there was just one)). They are both about making behavior changes that lead to being more comfortable long term, and that usually revolves around practicing behaviors (often pretty frequently, which can be uncomfortable short term).

  • Hasn't happened yet
  • Looks like someone wasn't paying attention then.

    Edit: okay that was a little harsh. But maybe I will still say if that was what you focused on and took away from the pandemic it seems like you missed the bigger picture of politics and perspectives of who was actually using science to guide choices and who has people's best interests in mind.
