I mean it happens here in Kansas a lot, "can't believe I saw a Confederate flag sticker in the John Brown Free State????"- and okay yeah, they prolly know it's about hate, but that reaction strikes me as fuel for the idea that it's a heritage thing. After all, it's counter to our local heritage- and that's the only point they hit on, not that there are open racists everywhere, because conservatives have dictated the discussion over it for decades

some of those ppl might simply mean that it's especially brazen to fly it in a free state where you don't even have the bullshit fig-leaf of heritage

had the displeasure of talking to one of the rare economically leftist, but socially chud jorp fans. he took issue with my comments disparaging lobster daddy, arguing that he's not a bad guy just cause he disagrees with 'a few things' on the left. i asked him which things he agrees with the left on, which for some mysterious reason he refused to answer. instead, saying that it's a bad idea for the left to 'cancel' JP , which in turn means the definition of that word has gone through an interesting evolution over the years. he asked me why i think jp is far right, and i said that he admires and respects milo even though the rest of the chudosphere thought he was too toxic even for them. he then said i was doing guilty by association and that there's plenty he disagrees with him on. once again, i asked what those differences were during the course of jorp's interview? and once again, for reasons we will never find out, he refused to specify. finally, he insisted that jp appeals to everyone, so i asked him which major leftists offered support for him? (this one was particularly aggravating cause i asked him this specific question literally over ten times cause i got tired of him giving me the runaround and just started spamming it until he responded). he eventually said that it was 'late' (which, technically it was), and told me he'd come up with a whole list by morning. that was monday.

i guess the moral of the story is that even leftists can be mind bendingly stupid when the need arises

yea, my understanding is that your body can become so accustomed to certain substances that you'll get physically sick and can actually die from withdrawal. e.g. delirium tremens

dunno how or whether it applies to jorp's benzos

e: this sounds p nasty

This has been answered a bunch and a lot of good posts including this one and those coming after. There’s just one thing I want to add: physical and mental dependency, are far more alike than these folks like to say. First off, mental dependency does have physical side effects (such as severe anxiety leading to panic attacks, sweating, and even struggling to breathe). Gambling addicts, for example, have been checked into hospitals because of it. And anyone that thinks physical dependence doesn’t have a shitload of mental consequences is a moron. The distinction is getting less and less distinct to say the least.

Also, hilarious note, JP once argued there was essentially no difference between the two, lol:

remind me to never ever take benzos or opioids jesus fuckin christ

i'm enough of a mess without that poo poo in my life

Benzos are waaaaaayyyy over prescribed, holy poo poo. They utterly destroy lives in people who should not be taking them. You should not be on them for depression. It loving baffles me they’re still being prescribed for that when there are soooo many other options that don’t have anywhere near the side effects (or the high rates of suicide attributed to them! Jesus Christ!). Unless you have severe mania and psychotic episodes and are in immediate danger to yourself, get a second opinion. Hell, if you can, get one anyway. They are short term only. I’m a failed psych major and even I know this, wtf.

I’ve seen way too many lives upended and hosed from them. Benzos are going to be the next pharmaceutical lawsuits. I mean, people get put on these for years and look at this:

wikipedia posted:

In the long-term, stopping benzodiazepines often leads to improved physical and mental health.[13][14]

Everyone here I bet knows about what they did to promote opiates but that all began with Benzos in the 70s and 80s.

If Jorp was getting prescribed this in Canada (which are way better about it than here), he must’ve been having regular panic attacks or psychotic breaks. I think another thing his daughter is doing is not being at all honest about how serious his mental issues really were. Which, like, no surprise I guess but goddamn.

https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/f3pfa9/is_there_a_law_against_suing_a_religious/

quote:

Is there a law against suing a religious institution? My mom is part of a nazi church and it is affecting my business. Location is Washignton, US.

You can read the whole story on my r/relationship_advice posts but basically my mom's church group is running a campaign to "take back the swastika" and I was asked to bake cupcakes for a bake sale to support the cause. I own a small bakery, open 6 months at the time with only myself and 1 other employee (who I had to since let go because of this mess). I of course declined because I was not making swastika cupcakes and I was not supporting something as crazy as this.

In the past, I had donated cupcakes to the church group for some of their other fundraisers such as raising money to update the local library or supporting arts and music in schools.

After a whole bunch of nonsense I had gone to talk to with the reverend about how loving stupid the whole campaign was, which was a huge mistake. After I talked to him he updated the church's website to say "Thanks to Bakery Name for her continued support of our charities." I only found out after the whole nazi church group got a lot of (jusitified) hate from our community. Since then I have arrived at my bakery to find the word Nazi written in spray paint. I got security cameras, hired a lawyer, let go off my only employee so she didn't get caught up in the hate. My lawyer has been working his rear end off trying to get my name removed from the church website.

The problem is that this whole nazi church group is getting big and I worry it will soon be on national news. 90% of my business is from out of town (wedding cakes mostly) and if this story makes national news, I am worried my bakery will be dragged through the mud when I have done everything to distance myself from the insanity that is the nazi church, including not talking to my mother.

I want to know if there are any complications from potentially suing a church. Maybe for defamation (?) or libel. Or maybe for loss of business if this goes bigger and they are still refusing to remove my bakery name from their website.

Of course I will bring everything up with my lawyer if this is the way I decide to go but I want to know any complications beforehand.
