Oh man, fun story time. When I worked at the Wendy's in Lawrence, my coworker would always bring in his bag of shrooms and put them on his cheese burger for lunch. Oh man, He was always HAF!!!

is there an item at Wendy's you would no longer eat?

Never worked there, but I can field this one.  Where do you think chilli comes from?  Hamburger patties that get old, would be my guess.

Maybe it does now.  Who knows.  I bet it was added to the menu as the easiest way to make something they can sell and store out of something they would normally have tossed out.

i would guess that a boomer cheeseburger every shift (#?) would get you in the psych ward real quick

I had a guy tell me that if I ever thought the chilli was a bit salty it was due to the sweat dripping off the guy who has to stir the pot. I haven't eaten that chilli ever since.

Yeah, the chili is pre packaged and left in the freezer. I've never took a chance on fast food chili, so I assume it's awful as well.

I just remembered, that was Denny's, not Wendy's.

Saw another version of this with a picture of Eric Garner being choked.

I'm feeling pretty conservative today, apparently. All this gun talk and racial strife is really kinking  my weasel, but I feel like I can't comment about it.

If only this anonymous board had a thread for anonymous posting.

Spill it spracs, unkink that weasel

It seems to me that in order for changes in gun policy to truly preempt acts such as this, we would have to effectively get rid of guns.  But, whatever meager political battles there are to be won w/r/t gun policy, they would fall far short of that, as they ought to.  Why are we not more focused on mental health issues as a national priority? It seems to me that no politician wants to talk about it, and very little is being done to address this issue--an issue that manifests itself in all kinds of ways, including addiction, homelessness and crime (violent and nonviolent).  We should prioritize it.  But, it seems taboo to even mention it as a rebuttal to the gun and racial talking points that crop up in the wake of these tragedies.

States would rather not spend on that.  Budgets and all.  The trend is and has been for some time to cut funding. 

Screening or detecting is still a problem even if they were fully funded.   Without family intervention they don't end up in the system until they commit a violent crime generally.  People don't get involuntarily committed because they get caught with drugs or get caught stealing.  Legitimately crazy people often don't realize they need help or want it. 

I mean it's easy to say what you said, but how do you actually implement it so that it makes any kind of substantive difference?  Good intentions won't cut it I don't think.  The practical challenges of helping those you don't know about or who refuse the help are pretty daunting.

I did read some discussion about how mental health issues need to be addressed after the Sandy Hook thing. Yes, there are some people that aren't going to get the help they need until a major issue, but there are also parents out there who have no resources to help their children that they do want to help.

Parents wanting it is different than the crazy person wanting it, assuming they aren't a minor.  Involuntary commitment/compelled treatment isn't an easy thing to accomplish without some actual evidence the person presents a threat of serious harm to themselves or others, usually in the form of the commission of a crime of violence.  Speculation by mom and dad doesn't cut it. 

For example, this guys parents couldn't have simply had him committed against his will just because they thought it was a good idea or that in their opinion he desperately needed it.  The law doesn't allow for that.  Creeping people out at the mall and possessing meth wouldn't have sufficed either.

I don't know this guy's history, but getting kids help before they become adults would help them to turn into less mumped up adults. Again, not going to catch every crazy person when they are a kid but it would help reduce the overall number of crazy adults roaming the streets. For instance, Adam Lanza had known issues that were not properly addressed early in his life which lead to a downward spiral into a worsening state of mental health and isolation.

It's also a sad thing that it's even necessary to make such a common sense observation in order to unkink our weasels, but it's a pretty kink'd up world.
