      Person Man, Person Man
      Hit on the head with a frying pan
      Lives his life in a garbage can
      Person Man

      Is he depressed?
      Or is he a mess?
      Does he feel totally worthless?
      Who came up with Person Man?
      Degraded man,
      Person Man.

    Can you imagine the molecular and epigenetic damage being done to the Palestinian people right now?

      That tends to happen when you get hit by an explosive.

        Except its largely not holocaust survivors that formed that shit hole, and in fact the only reason they didn’t participate in the holocaust is that Hitler, presumably being thrown by the novel experience of not being the most unreasonable asshole in the room for the first and last time in his life, told them to fuck off.

        These are the descendants of wannabe (and one group of actual!) perpetrators if the holocaust, not victims.

        Stop your genocide excusing propaganda. They have no excuse. Not even a partial one.

          It’s not an excuse. Groups and races of people that have been through that sort of thing carry an emotional trauma and pain through generations. Same as black people. Same as even women do. There have been many studies on it, and is grounded in science. Nowhere did I fucking state that what they are doing or have been doing to the Palestine people for the past 80 years is acceptable! I’m saying that it should be looked at more along the lines of a mental illness, and treated as such. Kiss my ass

            If a random lady walks up to you and shoots you and says she’s not to blame because PTSD exists, that’s not an excuse if she’s never experienced trauma or violence, and provably does not have PTSD.

            She can’t claim her aunt is an Afghanistan vet and her brother got the shit beaten out of him by a crappy boyfriend. Neither of those things were her experiences. She does not get to fucking appropriate that shit, and neither do the kapostani filth.

            But the kapostanis didn’t go through that. They are not, and have never been, victims. This does not apply to them. Full stop.

    At least she didn’t accidentally end up in the mechanical engineering department learning about stress.

    Living destroys your health on a molecular level… Or being punched… or stabbed. Or staying up longer than you should… or looking at screens too long… or…

      Yeah and constantly looking over your shoulder because there are threats everywhere accelerates that molecular destruction.

      Aka. Stress.

      Nothing quite like being technically correct, and completely missing the point.

        If you had to spend 8-14 hours every day staring at a tree at a fixed distance, it would probably be harmful to your vision.

      Why should only the minorities that excel deserve a good life?

      Why do the mediocre majority get to live a good life while the mediocre minority don’t?

      Let people be mediocre and instead we need to make life better for everyone.

      I fairly certain you’re a troll, it’s patently obvious on a site like lemmy. Heck I’m even confident you’re going to respond to this because I used a magic keyword, I won’t. This is meant for the normal people reading this

        Why should only the minorities that excel deserve a good life?

        The guy just said “If you excel at something, you will be happy and less stressed” and you are seriously asking why only people that are happy deserve to be so? They didnt even claim that anything SHOULD be any particular way, they just said that the goal of being happy in the end is an aim worth persuing.

        Let people be mediocre and instead we need to make life better for everyone.

        You cant just magically make people healthier or less stressed or happier. If the other person had said “Health is a good reason why you should start working out” would you also respond with:

        Why should only the minorities that excel [work out] deserve a good life?

        ?

          You cant just magically make people healthier or less stressed or happier.

          Having enough money/income to live comfortably and access mental/health care will do this for most people.
