Reply to comment by jjrrad in TIL that the civilian ship pilot in Dunkirk is based off a real person - Charles Lightoller, the second officer of the Titanic who sailed his own ship to save 127 servicemen at Dunkirk by flotiste
So did that happen where one of the rescued sailors killed his son's friend?
I double checked after because it was so horrible. Found no evidence of anything like it.

And his son wasn't senselessly killed during it. I really wondered why they decided on that in the film. It was ahistorical and left some audiences with the wrong message. What was the takeaway from that? Fear PTSD cowards?
It really took me out of the movie.
The real life Lightoller did lose two sons in the War. But both died in the line of duty. Not killed by some shell shocked recently rescued sailor.

Meanwhile, I've been seeing people drive wrong ways all over the place. Completely unsafe lane changes right in front of police. But there's not as much money in those cases, so they seem to all get away with it.
I live near the Sullivan Square Boston rotary and I've seen at least two cars going the way in the last few months.
And after they saw those two problems, maybe they could do something about after-market muffler modifiers on Hondas that make them so loud. Shit violates several noise codes.

And the man who was murdered was completely innocent of any wrongdoing. It's not like this was stopping a fugitive criminal or anything. An unarmed innocent man murdered execution style in his hotel.

And I've seen cases where cops shoot an armed bank robber. It's debatable whether there was real fear... This was different. This was a totally innocent man, completely unarmed, complying with the officers commands.
The officer was asking him to do some physically difficult tasks. Like shimmy around without your arms. And his pants were falling down.

It was hard for me at the time to understand why he would regret fighting the Nazis. But I think he just had a natural aversion to civilian deaths.
I don't regret my time serving. I don't think I had to do anything regrettable. I have friends who did though.

First, he discouraged me from joining the Army. Which I took under advisement and still joined. He had a lot of regret about his time in the service.
Second, I thought maybe there was something fishy about the way senator wellstone had died in a mysterious plane accident right after being one of the lone voices of dissent against the war in Iraq. Zinn understood what I meant. Kind of sighed. The road to conspiracy theories used to be more left-oriented. CIA crack theories, World Bank, etc. He explained that there's enough to worry about that we have confirmation is real. There is a lot above the water to fix first. We can worry about the rest of the iceberg after working on the tip.
Lastly, he gave me some follow-up book recommendations and recommended law. I wound up going to BU and finishing law school recently.

Reply to comment by Jarsole in BU proposes three new buildings as part of $1-billion campus upgrade; also wants to start looking at building over the turnpike by EnjoyTheNonsense
I'm this person. I got offered a more attractive offer from BU than other schools that accepted me. But I have to say the rate is fairly standardized for research and TA work. It's not required to do, but most of us do it voluntarily.
You definitely need a "cost of living" scholarship or a loan to get by.
I grew up in Mass and remember when you could find a 2 bedroom near Davis Sq or Alston for $1200. You can live on campus and generally it's covered in the Fin Aid package. Or just have too many roommates off campus.

Reply to What Boston suburbs are LGBT+ friendly? by Icy-Egg-7755
I guess it depends on a lot of factors. What's the age of the kids?
Not all the letters are the same in LGBTQIA.
Lesbian cis gender daughter? Northampton. Tour Smith and Mt Holyoke, you might see NoHo resident Rachel Maddow. Our new governor is a lesbian.
Gay male? Boston has BAGLY for kids. PFLAG for parents. Provincetown when they get old enough to enjoy it.
Harvard and Somerville Sq have a lot of trans activism. I don't know if this is still true, but a few years back Jamaica Plain was like the most trans area regionally.
Kids just like to be kids. They'll find friends in school. Roxbury can be pretty hostile to young gay kids. But Dorchester is a bit more gentrified than it used to be. There's a weird gay oasis there (Near DBAR) in the middle an urban hellscape.

Reply to comment by caffeinehell in New study links suffering from long-lasting severe depression to reduction in brain volume by nikan69
The article talks about their medication history. Do you have a source to back up your claim here? I've only seen it as a requirement to have been on antidepressants unsuccessfully.
Here's a longer article on point:
>"typically, unipolar depression that do not respond effectively after two trials of antidepressant monotherapy in adequate dosage and durations (at least 8 weeks, may be 12 weeks in some cases) and often do not respond satisfactorily to numerous sequential treatment regimens” [7].
Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4609854/
This is consistent with what I've heard from practitioners. And it is a strict requirement. There are some fairly desperate people that come to their office asking if there's a way around it. I've never heard them say that they could private pay. But I would be open to seeing an alternative source.
In any event, practically everybody in this experiment will have been on antidepressants. Even if it is only because of an insurance requirement.

Do they know if a specific antidepressant is causing or exacerbating this? To get this particular magnetic treatment, you generally are required or encouraged to go through several of the medication regimens. And for an extended period of time.
As their primary function is neurotransmitter inhibitory, it's sensible to ask the question.

Edit:
Most patients on TMS and ketamine have tried standard first-line antidepressants. Medical boards and insurance companies generally require it, as others have pointed out. But you can apparently privately pay for it in some states. Although the price is prohibitive.
