I dunno, I can only think of sad and useless examples like Patty Hearst.
I guess Smedley Butler. Hard to find examples of prominent leaders though. Social dominators really prefer authoritarian followers over us obstreperous thinky-feely types.

I honestly feel a little privileged to have witnessed it.

I have an actual degree in psychology that I am currently using exclusively to label Trump as having a personality disorder, thank you very much.

A narcissist excels at vaguely indicating how great things might be if they got their way.

It would be the least convincing yet most welcome heel-face turn of the century tbh

That can’t be my problem, you know? It’s just me and this dirty ass air fryer on a mission.

He thinks we are a problem. We had better prove him right.

Genuinely makes me happy to see friendly touches like this.
- Comment on NHS ADHD spending over budget by £164m as unregulated clinics boom 5 days ago:
People with ADHD are a massively under-reported casualty of the war on drugs. Can’t cope with the demands of modern life? Too bad, the enemy wants your meds!
We had to go with a private diagnosis for my son because the schools won’t play ball. Even now they’re stonewalling the assessor who just needs their input to make the diagnosis official. Our boy has always been at his best in the classroom due to being the biggest extrovert in the family, so he hasn’t struggled with lessons enough yet to warrant any of their vanishingly thin SEND provision.
- Comment on If you're a parent, how do you prevent your kid from watching AI slop? 5 days ago:
It’s a tried and true method. Mine can’t really listen to anything long winded that isn’t terribly exciting, or somehow related to Minecraft.

Do you have any kids’ media literacy edu content you like?

They’re starting to get it. We’re all about high standards but also lots of support and care.

Unlike my parents, I make sure they know they’re more important to me than their maths homework. But they do still cry sometimes. Kids be having feelings, yo

As it bloody well should be. More than one order of fries of any size should be a life-altering amount of potato

- Comment on AMD Phoenix CPU brings palm-sized SBC to life for up to $329 — NexT-SBC packs 32GB LPDDR5-6400 and triple M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD slots 1 week ago:
Thanks, that makes sense. A friend just gave me an old one they didn’t need, I’ve been mulling over my options. I might just throw Mint on it and make it do Jellyfin for my projector.

You must understand their value proposition pretty well by now. What’s the main use case for something like this?

If we’re gonna let people call bull testicles “oysters” when they eat them, we can bloody well let Chicago call their delicious casserole a pizza, right?

Guessing no.
- Comment on What is the difference between an American liberal and a liberal outside the USA? 2 weeks ago:
Bold of you to assert that the American right isn’t effectively a monarchist movement. Trump and his hangers-on have been stridently in favour of a presidency that is king in everything but name, and they have shown an abiding disdain for democracy since at least the Reagan era - though those dots connect backwards as far as you please.

All my time goes to work and my kid, and until my wife has a solid income again I pretty much have no time to do any real living outside of my obligations.
Been this way for four years, but we’re almost there. Setbacks along the way. Becoming an immigrant in another country didn’t help, tell you h’wat.
- Comment on handling strays 2 weeks ago:
Fair. I feel like I was not held to a very high standard growing up - at least, not as high as I now hold myself and others. Times also change though.
