Dude I just read the last 8 hours of westboros tweets and I have never seen so much condensed hate for a man in such a time span

They picket any mainstream deaths these days.

They must be hipsters.

Re: RIP Robin Williams

Merged my thread with DotKritic's; there's no need for two threads.

But yeah, this is an absolute shock... wow.

2 threads about 1 topic? gotta get that taken care of immediately, proper site formatting is such a crucial thing

Re: RIP Robin Williams

Fuck. This is really sad.

At the very least, I hope this helps bring mental health back into the spotlight on a bigger stage. It pisses me off that our country still stigmatizes things like depression, etc. People act like mental illness is just something you will yourself out of, when in reality it requires a lot of work and support. Given some of the darker aspects of Robin's past, I can't say this surprises me at all -- but it's so sad when you wonder if this could have been avoided if only our society weren't so retarded over this stuff.

I was perma banned from celiac.com for suggesting that someone should look into having depression and a couple of the mods took great offense to it, told me I shouldn't have said anything, I responded something that mental illness isn't a horrible, it should be looked at etc etc. Then things escalated. Was rich, as one of those mods pm'd me how a fairly active user on the site who was her friend had recently committed suicide. She didn't at all see how this was relevant and important to why I would dare suggest such a thing to a user, she just used it as a 'don't fuck with me' thing to say she was in no mood.

this - so very much; being able to see him take a very serious and somewhat abrasive character was great, and he did awesome with it.

I merged my thread which was a single post for the same thing with DotKritic's, who created it first -- we both created it at the exact same minute. It was just to prevent redundancy and keep the conversation fixed to one thread, rather than scattering it to two threads.

Re: RIP Robin Williams

I think dev was the only mod on this site who didn't have aversions to deleting posts. Sad.

I mean this very sincerely, so feel free to complain to other staff members about it: stop acting like a child.

Re: RIP Robin Williams

You know, people could at least have enough respect to keep the bs out of a thread having to do with someone's death.

I know that Robin Williams has been battling depression for a long time but it still shocked me when we heard this yesterday. It's horrible to think about how that person must have felt that they thought death was their only way out.
I'm not a religious person but I really hope that he's at peace now.



This has been my fave image floating around the internet since his passing.
