Trump uninjured after security incident at White House correspondents dinner; no injuries reported

I haven’t looked at stats but I thought it was the other way around, hence why males have much higher suicide rates?

Males have higher success rates

Women are much more likely to be "suicidal", they are just much, much less likely to succeed

My girl works in this field, i am very, very familiar with the data on this

I’m not doubting it, I’m uneducated on the topic.

By ‘less likely to succeed’ you mean their attempts aren’t successful or they’re less likely to attempt it in the first place?

Either their attempts aren't successful, OR their attempts are so-called cries for attention/help and are not "serious"

There are many researchers in the field who think the majority of "successful" female suicides are actually "accidentally" successful.

As in, they weren't actually trying to kill themselves, but they tried hard enough to make it convincing that they inadvertently went through with it

They even have a code system at Nora's work; when a (especially white) male is suicidal it's an actual emergency that requires law enforcement. When it's a woman (especially a POC) they don't even waste the time calling law enforcement unless they get on the scene and can tell it's a legitimate situation.

The reason being, there are so many instances of women threatening suicide without meaning to go through with it and wasting LEO time and resources.

She's super liberal btw, this is just one of those "it is what it is" situations

Funny it's exactly the phrase I used on the last page.

I just thought it was a fact everyone knew about.

Statistics have long shown that mental disorders are much-more-prevalent on the left.

I thought everyone just knew that?

It is what it is.

It is certainly a fact; now i'm skeptical of it being widely known

It's the opposite of like, for example, "left wing/right wing violence statistics" which are widely criticized because the organizations who collate the data are pretty obviously cooking the books with their methodology at best or partisan hacks at worst. Those studies are nearly always ridiculous.

It's more like "left wing people more often have higher education" or something - It's uncontroversial. Where it's intuitive and the data just reenforces what common sense would already tell you

JD's having a laugh at all this.

God bless him.

Research in political neuroscience suggests that political ideology correlates with brain structure and personality traits, showing that conservatives (right-wing) tend to show higher reactivity to threat and desire for stability, while liberals (left-wing) often exhibit higher tolerance for complexity and ambiguity, with studies indicating structural differences in the amygdala and anterior cingulate cortex.

On the whole, the research shows, conservatives desire security, predictability and authority more than liberals do, and liberals are more comfortable with novelty, nuance and complexity.

The volume of gray matter, or neural cell bodies, making up the anterior cingulate cortex, an area that helps detect errors and resolve conflicts, tends to be larger in liberals. And the amygdala, which causes an immediate, intense emotional reaction to stress that bypasses rational thought, is larger in conservatives.

Subjects with right-wing (or conservative in the United States) political views have larger amygdalae, areas of the brain associated with emotional responses such as fear, anxiety, and aggression.

So the only shots fired during the so called assassination attempt was from a Secret Service agent...Who shot another secret service agent.

The incompetence of this regime knows no bounds.

Still has nothing to do with mental illness, making your responses to me straw men.

He definitely burned that straw man to the ground though

 

[Monkey Man]

Yeah, they were facts that many of us here in OTC were already aware of.

Interesting nevertheless, albeit irrelevant to the discussion.

Can you believe it, conservatives enjoy order and authority and liberals want novelty? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you

 

[Monkey Man]

LOL Absolutely-shocking indeed.

Who'd've thunk it?

He's just cherry picking data from a larger study to push a narrative; like he always does.

If I'm recognizing those paragraphs correctly, he pulled it from that study on diversity of though between the right and left.

Maybe that's it.

I had to look it up. I was wrong. It's a snippet from this study...

Is political ideology correlated with brain structure? A preregistered replication​

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11519434/

Regardless, he's still cherry picking; and another example of lying with statistics, to make it look like right wing act out of emotion and fear while left wing are more intelligent. This is not the case at all. In fact the authors of the study state the connection between portions of the brain and political ideology are much more nuanced and warn about making generalizations that could foster stereotypes.

AI Overview



Rape is a violent crime driven by power, control, and entitlement rather than sexual gratification. It is often rooted in societal inequalities, misogyny, and cultural norms that normalize abuse. Offenders frequently use coercion to dominate victims, who are often targeted based on perceived vulnerability.
View attachment 444883DW.com +5
Key factors in why rape occurs include:

• Power and Control: Rape is primarily used to exert dominance, assert control, or express anger over another person.
• Male Entitlement and Toxic Masculinity: Beliefs that men are entitled to women's bodies, or that sexual dominance is a form of masculinity, contribute significantly.
  • Lack of Empathy and Narcissism: Many offenders possess psychological traits including a lack of empathy and narcissistic attitudes.
  • Socialization and Inequality: Societal structures that create unequal power dynamics between men and women, or other marginalized groups, foster vulnerability to violence.

Ooh, AI.

The mere fact that people like Jerry Brudos were unable to copulate without torturing and killing their victims ( and there are a lot of fuckers like this, many in the Pacific Northwest oddly) proves that it absolutely has something to do with sex.

I think you may be confusing sex with prison sex.


The difference is I actually have learned by reading accounts and watching documentaries, whereas you are just repeating some dumb shit you heard from an ex con and bolstering it with an AI explanation you most likely generating specifically tailored to rape being all about power and control.

 

[Floyd Eye]

This, prison rape, is definitely about power, control and intimidation.

To insist rape isn’t about sex is retarded. The only people who say that are guys who rape other guys in prison. Because they don’t want to believe it makes them gay. But, if you fuck another guy, homey, you’re a fucking queer.

 

[yngHL]

Fellas is it gay to have sex with another man?
