I can answer yes in both directions. It's amazing the toll stress can have on your mental health, whether that stress be environmental factors or biochemical imbalances. In the right, or wrong, environment 6 years can completely change who you are.

This isn't to say she committed suicide, I don't know her and barely know of her, but your opinion is verifiably incorrect, and more likely to be incorrect for someone who has suffered significant trauma followed up by years of emotional abuse.

I remember when he first became popular a lot of people felt like fucking Luigi.

Okay, Elon Musk is a giant asshole, but not so big that it warps reality around it. Musk provided money and became chairman of Tesla in Jan 2004. The first production vehicle rolled out in 2005. All Teslas were produced after Musk joined Tesla. And while it could be argued that he did a hostile takeover of Tesla, usually theft doesn't include piles of cash going to the victim.

This is the sound of an animal with no natural predators.

We really need to mark if Trump memes are real or made up. I hadn't heard that he said this, but I can totally believe it. I just don't have time to fact check every meme to know if I should be laughing or terrified that there's a potential or former leader who believes stuff like this.

Granted, both options are valid with Trump.

Who were the Ukrainians killing before Russia came to save them?

When a state used to have maternal outcomes similar to a developing nation's, then passed some new laws and it got worse, I'd say shitshow is too mild.

In the last 30 years, batteries have gotten about 10 times more powerful at a tenth the size for about 1% of the cost. Every advance that got us to this point was just "stuck in the lab" prior to its release. And if you don't think incremental change can be significant, after hearing those numbers I provided above, perhaps you should read about compound interest.

Also, if you don't want to be let down by news of developments at the lab stage, which certainly don't always become viable, why are you reading posts in a technology community? That seems self-destructive.

Comments like this make it clear you have no idea how bad it is in the poorest states, and delusional if you think a system designed to extract the maximum value from each consumer means health care is going to cost you less. I can only assume from you're statement that you aren't making 6 figures or more, so you likely will see worse healthcare under a private rather than better. Poverty is twice as high in America, and three times as high in Mississippi, the poorest state.

Housing is also a serious issue, and is affecting far too many people, but the indications are it is just as bad in America.

I don't think adopting their policies are going to improve our state.

Twitter was never good, it was just popular.

The judge also ruled that he must pay child support, which is an excellent outcome. Just because he's not worthy to exercise his parental rights doesn't mean he should be able to escape his responsibilities.

Take a look at the trends in Manitoba. Underfunded and mismanage, next step is saying private surely can't be worse, final step is privatize. They did it with MTS, they were on step 2 with healthcare, they were on step 1 with education, they were on step 2 with Hydro.
