It’s strange that suicidal ideation is considered enough to make you “crazy.

It’s also incredibly fucked up that some forms of suicidal ideation is considered normal religious behavior too. Longing for heaven because the world is a sinful place is considered normal and healthy in my area, but longing for death because the world is fucked up means you need to be locked away.

I’ve got persistent ideation because I was raised with the former, but as soon as I stopped believing in the afterlife, people started getting real weird about it.

Crap legal advice from lawyers is far too common and it sucks. I grew up in a gang area, so I know several people who’ve gotten public defenders. Every one I’ve heard of has been overworked to the point of just suggesting they try to plea deal out because mounting an actual defense would take too much time away from the other cases on their docket.

The general reaction I get to that is 'oh well, why should I care about a gang member’s civil rights" and it’s infuriating that we’re so happy to assume guilt before it’s proven in court.

Effectively, yeah. I’m still gonna complain tho, haha

Trump still owes my county from his 2016 campaign. He rented out the fairgrounds for a rally and never paid up.
