My argument is that there are seemingly rational reasons to engage in violence in the moment. So, rather than scapegoating the mentally ill, maybe, just maybe, we should look to why it seemed like a rational decision for a mass shooter to kill a bunch of people. What was their motivation? What problem were they trying to solve? And why did excessive violence seem like a good way to solve the problem?
You are describing how therapy works. Mental health care addresses the problem this exact way

“A Cruise spokesperson said the company offered to share video footage with San Francisco officials. As of Saturday morning, Cruise said, city officials had not reviewed the footage. It was unclear why.”
What’s the best way to teach my kid programming. I don’t know how. He’s interested. He’s done well in school with Scratch. He’s expressed interest in Python, owns a Thumby, but never gets too far on his own. Instead of a Winter sport, we’re leaning towards a Python class, however there’s none in person. How can i...
You know the type, probably a good father or worker, but serious faced all the time, never smiles, often in a bad mood, very cynical. It’s just I feel like I’m on the path to this, I’m 28, just escaped 12 years of food service so I’m already super cynical and if someone comes up to me, I’m super ready to shut down...
I agree with most of the other replies, but I’d also add: try a gratitude journal. Writing down things you’re happy about can actually rewire your brain to think more positively. Definitely worth a try.
I got a breadmaker as a present many years ago. Hasn’t seen a lot of use but this week, it quit. We determined that the mixer paddle is no longer turning. I’m a reasonably handy guy with tools. I figure I’ll take a stab at fixing it....
Ethiopian Kaffa Anderacha. 100g for 9m20s at 65%. Cracking started at around minute 6. When I was happy, I went to shake it outside in the sieve. I was aiming at a light roast but realizing that it’s not a very even method, I went and made sure even the greener beans had time to get a little tan. I think I’ll use 50g instead...
I tried 4 or 5 pan roasted batches but never got the consistency I was looking for. Highly recommend trying the thrifted bread maker with heat gun method!
In this context, the question is whataboutism. The facts are that these changes are not in the norm, and that we have experts in climate science telling us that.
You’re being downvoted because this line of questioning is usually the beginning of a bad faith argument. I decided to engage because hey, maybe you are just curious so I’ll give people on Lemmy the benefit of the doubt.
