I wasn’t disagreeing with you.
In vino manic phase of his bipolar disorder veritas.
Gotcha! Glad we’re on the same page. 
I consider the bipolar illness an explanation for much of his behavior, but not an excuse.
I guess determining the why’s of his specific situation is nice and all but when somebody is running around outside naked firing guns wildly without regard for the safety of themself, their children, or any bystanders, the academic exercise of determining their particular pathology is very low on my list of priorities.
Same here, but I do find it useful to push back when someone suggests he acts that way because Trump’s rubbing off on him.
That guy is a Trump supporter because he’s crazy, he’s not crazy because he’s a Trump supporter.
It does appear it can be a little bit of both, though - a despicable self-reinforcing feedback cycle of abuse and the crazy
The Orioles’ AA affilitate, the Chesapeake Oyster Catchers, introduced and then quickly withdrew a new team logo today after realizing they forgot to run the new design past an eighth-grader first.
Or a terminally-online 51-year-old. At first I thought I was in one of those “let’s pretend this image is suggestive” subreddits and I was like, yeah, that checks out.
Is it a PSA for those who can’t find it without pretending it’s a baseball?
Is that baseball censored?!
From 2015 to 2023, Weiss gained access to the databases of more than 100 colleges and universities that were maintained by a third-party vendor, Keffer Development Services, and then downloaded personal information and medical data of more than 150,000 athletes, the indictment states…
He then got access to the social media, email and cloud storage accounts of more than 2,000 athletes as well as more than 1,300 students or alumni from schools across the country, according to the indictment.
“Weiss primarily targeted female college athletes,” the indictment said. “He researched and targeted these women based on their school affiliation, athletic history and physical characteristics. His goal was to obtain private photographs and videos never intended to be shared beyond intimate partners.”
Weiss kept notes on photos and videos that he downloaded, commenting on the bodies and sexual preferences and sometimes returning years later to look for new images, the indictment said.
With performance bonuses he was making $1 million a year.
I think it’s supposed to look like a pearl.
Yeah. A “pearl”. And absolutely nothing else.
This MF strikes me as more evil than stupid
Seems to me that name is already bad judgment just asking for misinterpretations and double entendres.
Other people who do this either harass the victims or repost the images on the internet–he apparently did neither.
But he did lose his million dollar a year job–and it wouldn’t surprise me if his wife and three children leave him.
That is not an image I wanted in my head! Brain bleach! NOW!
The transition tends to be rapid, and the other half of bi-polar is usually a phase of depression, in which he probably lacks the energy/motivation to apologize because he is so down.
Or is just as much of an asshole while in the depressive phase as the manic phase.
Never attribute to complicated mental health concerns what can more readily be attributed to basic garden-variety assholishness. Doesn’t work for everybody every time, but it works for most people most of the time.
I have to admit I’ve never seen a, um, nothing else that large.
