Mental health facilities and systems losing funding is an absolute travesty. I still don’t believe the mental health side of these horrific crimes is a moot point though. With more dedication to early intervention and treatment a decline would have to happen. Its not the tools fault its the individual using it. Remember that guy who drove through a crowd a few Christmas back? He had a slew of mental health issues that were never addressed properly. He perpetrated a mass casualty event without issue. Almost half of mass shooters tell SOMEONE some part of their plan before carrying it out. If we did as many “warning signs” trainings as we do “active shooter” trainings I’d be willing to bet we’d prevent many of these incidents. I say this because even though I work in an isolated power plant, we have an annual online training and in person drill for active shooter situations (run,hide,fight). At the same time, I’ve never seen an early warning sign type training.

That’s my ideal case

You didn’t adress my question/statement at all.

Thats a great list and most of those comics are WAY under appreciated in general.

I told my doctor friend I’m basically a doctor for my power plant(mechanical engineer/power plant operator). He told me I’m a certified nursing assistant at best. Lmao

Are you thinking mental health is just a scapegoat and the mental state of shooters has nothing to do with the reason they commited the crime?

Two of my all time favorites.

That list definitely tracks for a lemmy user.

What is an ethical stand up?

The short jokes/puns are getting more and more rare these days. Mitch Hedberg did it best in my opinion. Anthony jeselnik still runs short punchy jokes but hes one of the only large contemporaries I can think of with that style.

Im in the same boat but more like the early 2000s. Who did you like back then and who now?

Me try going outside? I like asking questions and seeing what people think about things. Im a curious person and I like seeing how my interests align with other people. You can look at my post history, I just ask random questions, get alot of engagement and have some interesting conversations.

Eh I like offensive stand up because it’s one of the ways I deal with traumatic experiences I’ve had. In my family dark humor was always used following a tragedy. I recognize why people get bent out of shape by it but for me its helpful. Thats why some of my favorite comics are dark fucked up people like Jim Norton.

I used to listen there alot back when Opie and and Anthony were still on. They had a few good stand up stations. Thats a great way to find stand ups in my opinion.

People with no actual experience in electrical generation on large scale.

So we dont have a mass incarnation problem in the US?

Not sure what you mean exactly. Typically in the US, people using violence get put in jail/prison.

Lmao

That’s a great one

At some levels, sure. But things do have value and some are worth more than others.
