- Replying to @CobratateHi, I've never heard of you until tonight, but instead of being angry about your tweet, I'm just going to reply with some helpful links
- Replying to @jdpeterson and @CobratateBut what is true is that telling someone suffering from depression to just suck it up only furthers the stigma and shame associated with it
- Replying to @jdpeterson and @CobratateBrain scans show brains of people who suffer from depression function different from healthy brains
- Replying to @jdpeterson and @CobratateIn America, suicide is the 10th leading cause of death. More people die by suicide than from homicide: nimh.nih.gov/health/statist…

- Replying to @jdpeterson and @CobratateAn avg of 20 US veterans die per day from suicide. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_St… They we're probably told to suck it up too.
- Replying to @thatsKAIZEN and @elonmuskNo, I think that's the point that people are debating. They're saying that *elite* American engineering talent is being overlooked in favor of cheaper overseas *elite* talent, and so what looks like a shortage is actually corporate driven
- Replying to @maplebloodedThis is why I don't like being behind them, next to them, or in front of them when I'm on the highway. I don't want to be anywhere near them. If I pull up on one I speed past and get as far away from it as fast as possible
