That wasn’t already required

Kinda scary

Exactly.

I thought bootyjuicing was only SUPPOSED to be used for violent and combative patients who are an immediate danger to themselves and others

I’ve met a few psychiatrists who think that Oppositional Defiant Disorder is a lazy diagnosis and extremely dubious.

I know from my attitude people think I hate them all. It’s not that way. My parents just sent me from sleazy shrink to shrink as a kid and used the threat of commitment as a lazy cop out whenever they lost an argument.

A lot of parents these days just don’t have a grip or have any idea how to discipline children and expect the shrink and psychiatric drugs to fix all the problems.

When a shrink sees a parent without a damn clue about parenting they know they got one who will keep coming back and paying more because the problems won’t stop.

Newsflash

Even just Having a mental disorder in and of itself is NOT GROUNDS FOR COMMITMENT

Please see: 50 PS 7301(b)

Well I’ll tell you this.

In my personal experience the doctors blatantly disregard the law.

I had to spend $5000 to get a Bullshit involuntary commitment off my permanent record

Being disrespectful and “acting out” is not cause for a commitment. The judge saw that.

My parents were limp wristed and the doctor didn’t have the fucking stones to say “I can’t help you. Please leave”

Sometimes you need to acknowledge basic human liberty

Sometimes your “help” does more harm than good

Ever looked at the side effects of these drugs? Ever TALKED to someone forced to take high doses of them for years? It ain’t pretty

I’ll raise you Crozer Chester Medical Center where basic human rights are a mere inconvenience

Oh please

The staff at these hospitals encourage family members to make shit up all the time to make a patient committable when they find another family member “inconvenient” And want to get them out of the house for a while but they don’t meet the criteria

This is the 1/1,000,000 stories of psychiatric abuse that actually came to light

Psychiatry is the only area of medicine where the “doctor” can make everything up and if you challenge him, you are “crazy”

It is a farce to generate profit

In PA our elections are decided by a razor’s edge

“I got 42% in Pennsylvania” translates to “I pissed off so much of my own party that they voted for the other guy”

Trump won in 2016 in Pennsylvania by a margin of 44,292 votes

I would just use my U.S. Passport Card in that case. Some places are just determined to give you a hard time.

So I may be a bit biased because I grew up there but:

South Media has a thriving African American community and a historical AME church (from my understanding)

Nether Providence Township has good parks and the school district is decent

I grew up in Wallingford which is right next to Media

Both are majority white but there is a healthy amount of diversity

I would also recommend checking out the “South Media” neighborhood of Nether Providence Township.

Also, if you choose the Media area you’ll be able to commute to Philadelphia on the train

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the Pennsylvania constitution requires that the Board of Pardons (a 5 member board that meets every so often at the state Capitol in Harrisburg) approve a RECOMMENDATION for a pardon (3/5 for regular pardon and 5/5 for commutation of life sentence) before the governor can approve the pardon. These applications must be made by the individual.

I was at a board of pardons meeting in 2019. On the board were LT Gov Fetterman, AG Shapiro, and three others that I could not remember their names And left my notebook from that day back home and I’m at college right now. But anyway, a bunch of people serving life made their cases (via their representatives) for why they deserve to be released early. Some were granted, most were not. And unlike what the PA GOP would want you to believe, LT Gov Fetterman voted no on a bunch (some of them, from the case made and testimony given definitely deserve a second chance like the woman who drove her friend to a drug deal gone wrong, she got denied by 2 votes, LT GOV Fetterman voted yes, while some don’t deserve to be free ever again like the man who murdered another man in cold blood over a dispute and tossed his body into the River, he got denied unanimously)

People, please, double triple and quadruple check your ballot before you turn it in.

And no, signing and dating a form is in no way a “literacy test”, it is something you can reasonably expect any American to be able to do as long as they read and follow the instructions.

For people who are unable to read or write there are instructions on the form that the person who assisted them must follow, sign, and date.

Still better than the Japanese system where “Due Process” isn’t a thing

Or wear a shirt that says “GOOGLE JURY NULLIFICATION”

That’ll definitely do the trick

Please don’t complain when shoplifters are manhandled by the MPs. The federal government does not tolerate crime on their property.

An MP in a bad mood is the last person I’d want to tangle with. Had that experience going into an air show on an Air Force base (MP had to manually search my belongings and confiscate my $2 keychain knife, admittedly, I carry too much in my pockets).
