Yea 2 guys kissing was weird and made people uncomfortable too. Face tattoos have been in some cultures for thousands of years. They make you uncomfortable bc everything in the US has been so whitewashed that anything other than a white kid with a high and tight haircut makes some people uncomfortable. Go read about the Maori people. It's not weird or a sign of mental wellness. It's just not common here so it makes some uncomfortable when they see it.
When people ask, this is when your board redemption tour gets weird. Not everything has to be ok and it’s also ok to feel that way. You’re becoming the people they talk about when people say social justice warriors try too hard.
Being such a shill for consumerism that you tattoo brands on your face is absolutely a metal illness /leftistedge
I mean I'm not on a soap box fighting for tattoo rights but I think it's weird af to say it's a sign of mental illness when some cultures have done it for thousands of years. It's not common in our culture but it's certainly not a sign of mental illness either.
Find find cultural appropriation weirder than anything else. I don’t want to go back and forth. You can argue it’s ok to stand out, but there’s just something wrong to me with handicapping your life prospects because you saw a National Geographic special about some indigenous people. I am done talking about it, especially in this thread where there are far more important issues.
I'd argue it's sad that a personal choice like a tattoo would handicap one's life prospects. And how do we know he did it to stand out? He may have done it to fit in. And yea this thread is the last thread we should be judging people off of things on their skin. Again, I agree it's uncommon for our culture but I just don't think it's a sign of mental illness. That's all.
everyone knows I am pretty heavily tattooed my whole neck is done other than my throat. That said I’d never get my face done. That’s just a step too far. My only point is that a face tattoo in and of itself doesn’t mean a person has mental health issues.
It’s not. I hope and believe you’re joking. As someone who suffers daily to keep my head above water I find it disheartening to be so dismissive.
Again, i have zero issues with 90% of tattoos and I’m more than willing to admit my age plays a part of it. I simply don’t think people who get their entire face covered are making sound life decisions. It doesn’t have to be mental, I just think it’s idiotic to cut your career choices down to artist or mechanic. If that makes me old and out of touch, I can bear that cross.
I agree with you and in essence with dblplay1212 that 1. It limits your life choices and 2. It does so in the states because “our” cultural makes it taboo. Those two things don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Should it be like that? Not imo but that is the way it. Hand and neck tattoos aren’t as taboo as they used to be but I still get stereotyped because of it. I (obviously) don’t judge anyone because of tattoos I don’t think anyone should but I realize many do. I know my tattoo limit me. I got them fully aware of that. My only point was saying “he has a face tattoo he must be mentally ill” is wrong.
and Beeds07 there are tons of professions that face tattoos are acceptable. Most of them are artistic in nature. Honestly I don’t think anyone getting face, neck, and or hand tattoos are actually limiting anything. I say this because they probably don’t want to do the type of jobs that would frown on those things.
In the US, you're right. But that's more our stereotypes than anything. That's probably due to some whitewashing at some point in our history though. American Indians had face tattoos. It's still accepted in other parts of the world. This is a news anchor in New Zealand.
obviously it’s a cultural thing. No one says people have to “like” every thing from around the world. As long as you don’t discriminate,
it was a random commentary. I understand that. I would probably feel different if I grew up in the same place as that lady.
not to hop in the tat discussion but eathan calling post malone by his first name as a thinly veiled humblebrag about how he *gasp* knows a famous person was real cool and unique
How was it thinly veiled? I see him pretty often and have posted before that I think he's a fun guy to be around.
if my teenager came home with some stolen vapes I probably wouldn’t call the police? Maybe make my child return the vapes to the store ? Punish my child within my household without involving the authorities?
More so for a mental health crisis. If a teenager with underlying mental health problems goes into crisis I can’t fault a single mother for calling for help.
my wife works as a LCSW for Santa Clara County for their uninsured mental health clinic at the biggest county hospital here, you can call 211 here and they will connect you with mental health resources which is where my wife will usually get her referrals from these sort of situations…..most departments in this county will send an LCSW like my wife with them on mental health calls and let them do most of the talking
His implication about single mothers basically was suggesting physical force from a big strong man was required in all (any?) situations. There was nothing nuanced or genuine about the question.
Yeesh I didn’t think it was a dumb question, and it was most certainly genuine. I appreciate the information regarding 211, I’ll do some investigating if that’s something offered in my area. I guess I’m still not sure if this is an indictment on your trust in the police or my problem solving skills, but it’s irrelevant at this point.
It's just annoying that he has to shoehorn into every post regardless of subject how he knows Famous Person X
In America today? No one because there isn’t a agency that is out to deal with this. This is what people want when they say “defund the police”. They want to use some of that budget to hire more social workers and trained mental health professionals to call in those situations.
seems people were focusing on the specific hypothetical but avoiding the larger problematic thing you pointed out asking who is there to help when let's just say a stranger is in a mental health crisis. Say someone randomly in a park. Like you said you have to search it out if you're in the majority of the country that doesn't have mental health services and actively educate people on said services. If someone is a retail worker in my state, a person comes in who is having an episode/break, there's no shot the worker has been trained for this scenario. The worker tasked with dealing with the situation doesn't exactly have time to google through mental health services. Obviously this hypothetical is a bit absurd, but the point is to show how effective in comparison everyone knowing just call '211' if someone is having a crisis.
you stupid asshole. Think about what you asked me. You asked would I call the cops on my kid if he or she was a fucking pedo. What kind of stupid ass question is that? JFC
how else do you think anyone would respond to “hey if you raised a pedo would you call the cops on him for fucking a child”? I mean JFC. You’re insulting me as a parent and my child. This after I made a light hearted reference to Friday (the movie)
the discussion was about calling the cops on someone for either a minor offense or in the midst of a mental health crisis. Neither of which I’d call the cops on my kids. For some reason you decided to go the pedophile route. If my kid was accused of something I wouldn’t call the cops on any of them. Depending on the crime I’d call a lawyer and try to have my child turn themselves in. I wouldn’t call the cops on my child period. Now hopefully we can move on. I know how quickly it can go bad for a person of color when the cops are involved.
