So what exactly is the methodology, and what are the policies.
How does one even prove a policy causes or prevents a suicide?
I mean, look at this:
What does this even mean? Ripple effects? Isn't that speculatory?
None of this can be proven in a cause and effect sense.

I mean, incarceration and its health consequences?
As in, incarceration from shooting someone? Are murderers victims now?

Abstract - The rise in working-age mortality rates in the United States in recent decades largely reflects stalled declines in cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality alongside rising mortality from alcohol-induced causes, suicide, and drug poisoning; and it has been especially severe in some U.S. states. Building on recent work, this study examined whether U.S. state policy contexts may be a central explanation. We modeled the associations between working-age mortality rates and state policies during 1999 to 2019. We used annual data from the 1999–2019 National Vital Statistics System to calculate state-level age-adjusted mortality rates for deaths from all causes and from CVD, alcohol-induced causes, suicide, and drug poisoning among adults ages 25–64 years. We merged that data with annual state-level data on eight policy domains, such as labor and taxes, where each domain was scored on a 0–1 conservative-to-liberal continuum. Results show that the policy domains were associated with working-age mortality. More conservative marijuana policies and more liberal policies on the environment, gun safety, labor, economic taxes, and tobacco taxes in a state were associated with lower mortality in that state. Especially strong associations were observed between certain domains and specific causes of death: between the gun safety domain and suicide mortality among men, between the labor domain and alcohol-induced mortality, and between both the economic tax and tobacco tax domains and CVD mortality. Simulations indicate that changing all policy domains in all states to a fully liberal orientation might have saved 171,030 lives in 2019, while changing them to a fully conservative orientation might have cost 217,635 lives.
Here's another example of potential prison time over speech that Adam pretends isn't a problem.
And no, I don't condone hate speech. That doesn't mean I think someone should be threatened with jail time over it.

Megachurch Leader Charged with Torture and Murder of Daughter
A San Diego woman and her two parents have been arrested following the death of 11-year-old Arabella McCormack. In late August, police responded to a child in distress call at a home in Spring Valley, where they found Arabella. The 11-year-old was rushed to a hospital where she died. Arabella was covered in bruises and had suffered "severe levels of malnourishment," a police spokesperson said.
Leticia McCormack was a leader at Rock Church in San Diego, the megachurch founded and led by former NFL player Miles McPherson. On Monday, the 49-year-old church elder was booked on a charge of murder, three counts of torture, and three counts of willful cruelty to a child. When the police approached Arabella's father, Brian, near the family's home, he killed himself in front of officers.
Way too much trouble trying to prune this on a phone, so just going to dump it as is.
6 months seems excessive for essentially civil disobedience. Very draconian response imo.
The thing the actually triggers me is the concerned citizens ratting on him though. I have a personal thing against informing on others over any little thing, as many seem to do.
Why try and get someone in trouble? Why throw them under the bus? Keep that for serious crimes, not victimless things you don't agree with (Like drugs, which I would never report on).

Except it wasn't for civil disobedience though. It was for perverting the course of justice for trying to destroy evidence that he broke lockdown rules. If he'd just broken the rules he'd have gotten a fine like everyone else who did it.

Pastor Charged With Multiple Counts of Child Abuse
John Raymond, a Slidell pastor who was accused of taping the mouths of three students at the Christian school he oversaw and beating another child, has been formally charged with four counts of cruelty to juveniles by the 22nd Judicial District Attorney's Office.
Raymond, who in addition to being pastor of New Horizon church in Slidell is also on the St. Tammany Republican Parish Executive Committee, defended his actions last spring as being appropriate discipline for the students.
Raymond said that corporal punishment is in line with Biblical teachings and said he he was a victim of cancel culture. His attorney, Joe Long, said that Raymond will be arraigned on December 2nd, and will enter pleas of not guilty. Long said that Raymond will not take any plea agreement.
Project Veritas has sunk to outting teachers for pretty standard shite talk in private company.
As bad as "Oh man, those dumb schoolgirls just spreading their legs in your face is brutal" sounds, it's pretty normal behavior. People DO prank teachers, I knew girls who did exactly that back in the day. And people do talk inappropriately in private settings.
Doesn't make him a paedo bear, just human.

Waa debating putting this in the transgender thread since it involves the community, but don't want accusations of smearing lgbt drawing focus away from the larger point;
Ok, so it was a mistake making this paedo a truste, that's FINE. The act was proper, you can't perfectly.vet everyone, it happens.
The thing that triggers me here is the fact an organization that promotes attraction to children exists at all.
And the response in the article of values is kind of weak. Imagine if the topic was anti-Semitism, and a press release said "Nick Furentes does not align with our values."
As if there exists a place in our society where you can respect anti-Semitism, but just not with us.
This science based "hot love with tiny people" should be condemned the same way everyone condemns racism, if not worse, imo.

First of all, Breslow is not a pedophile. That statement is libel.
He is a psychologist, who spoke at a conference about behavioral health interventions that could potentially prevent pedophiles from harming children.
The organization that held the conference does not "promote attraction to children." Its mission is to promote treatments that prevent offending by pedophiles.
Some critics believe that their stated goals are a front for their ulterior motivation, which is to "normalize" pedophilia, and they may be correct.
But these same critics seem to believe that any recognition that these people exist, and that they should be studied, so their paraphilia can be understood and effectively treated, is "normalization."
Pedophiles are roundly condemned by everyone everywhere. Hence, the outrage that a psychologist would even deign to consider them actual people worthy of study and treatment.
This is just an oblique way for anti-transgender activists to attack the Mermaids organization, which helps connect the parents of gender-diverse children to gender-affirming care in the U.K.
They have been calling parents, behavioral and physical health professionals, and LGBTQ people "groomers" for supporting gender-affirming care, implying that they are child sexual predators.
So this is just a smear attempt to try to connect them peripherally to actual child sexual predators, and low-information retards like you eat it up.
Congressman-elect George Santos' emotional narrative of having Jewish grandparents who fled Europe during World War II appears to be untrue, like much of the rest of his campaign biography.
Santos, a Long Island Republican, has said that his father was Catholic and his mother was Jewish, and that both faiths "are mine." The very first line of the "About George" page on his campaign website states, "George's grandparents fled Jewish persecution in Ukraine, settled in Belgium, and again fled persecution during WWII."
But records show Santos' maternal grandparents were both born in Brazil before the Nazis rose to power: his grandfather, Paulo Horta Devolder, in 1918; and his grandmother, Rosalina Caruso Horta Devolder, in 1927.
Speculation that Santos lied about his Jewish heritage began when it was discovered that his later mother was named for the Catholic saint Fátima, and her obituary made no reference to being Jewish. Further investigation revealed that she Liked multiple Catholic groups on Facebook and shared multiple posts about Jesus.
This comes after a review of public documents and court filings from both the United States and Brazil reveals that Santos lied about virtually everything on the résumé he sold to voters.
Citigroup and Goldman Sachs have no record of his ever having worked there. Officials at Baruch College could find no record of anyone matching his name and date of birth graduating from there. And the IRS could locate no record of his animal rescue charity, Friends of Pets United.
His claim of a family fortune in real estate is also fictitious, as is his claim that four employees of a company he worked for were killed in the Pulse massacre.
But what is not false is his criminal charge for check fraud in Brazil, and his two evictions from apartments in Queens.
I suspect they will largely ignore it, because to acknowledge it would mean admitting that they were fooled or that they still do not care now that they know the truth.
