Right guy would win in a fight, but center one wins the bread prize.

It’s exactly because saying “failed to ___” doesn’t assign blame. That way whoever the article is about has a harder time suing… Especially if the article title is factual. Harder to prove intent

That did happen to me, and I didn’t end up taking the medication thinking I’d try my luck treating it just with therapy and improving my health in other ways. While I found the therapy extremely helpful and well worth it, I really really regret not trying the medicine in hindsight. Because of life complications and my employment situation, I haven’t had the opportunity to try it since and can’t shake the feeling this would be much much easier to tackle with it if one of my main problems is a chemical imbalance. For context: mental health issues run on both sides of the family.

If I get good healthcare again, I’m immediately going to go back to get some proper care.

Only 7 years for me, but long enough to hope they miss my traffic.

I'm not sure where the score for that first video came from, but it's based on "U.N. Owen was her?" from Touhou: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIop055eJhU

What's your alternative? Other countries have similar one-word names for their citizens, "Italians," "Japanese," "Mexicans", etc. United-Statesians? Then we might get the complaint that many other countries are made of smaller states too! Let's go for "citizens of the United States of America," that's nice and short. I get that Central/South America exists, but let us have the word, there's nothing else which sounds good.
