Violence and Mental Illness: Disseminating Fact and Dispelling Fiction
I’ve gotten so fed up arguing about mental illness and violence, I wrote a blog post setting the record straight. I have ads turned off and I am not benefitting in any way from my blog. Just want to compile and share information. TL;DR: Only 3-5% of violent acts can be attributed to those with SMI [20], co-occurring substance use plays the most pivotal role [24], many psychosocial contextual factors influence violent acts [11], and while individuals with SMI are potentially 2.1% more likely than those without a mental illness to be violent [4], they are 10 times more likely to be victims of violence themselves. [20] There does not exist a strong association between severe mental illness and violent behavior in general. …the notion that mentally ill individuals are violent is a harmful myth that only serves to further stigmatize an already disadvantaged population. This behavior is detrimental to the 26% of our (U.S.) population suffering from a diagnosed mental illness. [10] The false claims that individuals with SMI are dangerous and responsible for mass shootings and acts of extremism need to be called out for the harmful lies that they are.
[Request] Can you make it so we can chose what browser links open to, or create an internal browser option?
I don’t like using Chrome anymore, but any link I open goes to Chrome. Way more importantly, any YouTube video opens to the YouTube app, which is a huge problem imo. I end up not viewing 90% of the videos posted on lemmy, because I don’t want my YouTube feed to be screwed up. Even innocuous content is a problem for me. Like, I may be interested in seeing a satisfying wood working video one time, but I don’t want my feed thrown off. As it stands, I pretty much only watch videos on this platform if there’s a piped link accompanying them. My 3rd party app for reddit had the option of an internal browser, which I always used. I love Jerboa, think it has the best UI, and recommend it all over lemmy. But I feel like it’s lacking important features, without an internal video player, and less importantly an intenral browser for non-video links. Even the implementation of a setting that would allow me to open links to Firefox instead of Chrome or YouTube would solve my problem. Anyway, just a thought.
Clarification on new user rules
I don’t have a problem with rule 3, but I would appreciate clarification from the admins if possible. > 3. No posts or comments supporting or promoting conspiracy theories. Our team has the sole discretion to decide if a specific content violates this rule. Birds are real. Earth is round. Get over it. I agree with this policy, and I am sick and tired of misinformation on covid and vaccines. What I would like clarification on is whether I would be mischaracterized as a conspiracy peddler for sharing this well-cited information below on UAP that I have worked hard gathering? https://thereflectiveequilibrium.blogspot.com/2023/10/an-exhaustive-analysis-of-compelling.html?m=1 [https://thereflectiveequilibrium.blogspot.com/2023/10/an-exhaustive-analysis-of-compelling.html?m=1] I can see some people erroneously reporting this information as a conspiracy theory, despite the fact that I have provided citations from legitimate sources. I hope that I can get confirmation because I don’t want to be banned for sharing this information.
I thought my mom sent me this pic because the numbers are oddly satisfying. Then I saw it..
Extensive Collection of Information on UAP
Some of you may remember my post with most of this info. I decided to make a blog pretty much solely to have the information more accessible with the table of contents and not having to break the post into sections because of the current character limitations on Lemmy. Anyway, figured I’d share it here.
I'm not sure if these videos released by CBP have been posted on here, but the first video is the best orb footage I've seen
This is from the U.S. Customs and Border Partrol release of videos related to FOIA requests. Here is their webpage with the full videos available to download. [https://www.cbp.gov/document/foia-record/unidentified-aerial-phenomenon]

In 1956, the US Air Force contracted British aircraft manufacturer AVRO to create a 'Flying Disc' in a secret program titled "USAF Project 1794." [Declassified and sourced from the National Archives.]
Project 1794, dated 06-01-1956, was discovered by Michael Rhodes, an archivist for the National Archives who is the last person in the chain which archives previously classified government documents. [1] [https://www.archives.gov/news/articles/do-records-show-proof-of-ufos] This was a research aircraft being developed between the US Air Force (USAF) and contracted out to British aircraft manufacturer AVRO Aircraft, responsible for the development of multiple war planes and missiles, operating from 1910 to 1963. [2] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avro] It is clearly stated in the Project 1794 report that AVRO attempted to construct the unconventional, top secret aircraft displayed in Fig. 4. [3] [https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/70/9207/6920770/content/arcmedia/dc-metro/rg-342/6919785-r-d-project-files/project-1794-ufo/1794.pdf] The report contains detailed accounts of how the scale models and components were created and tested in wind turbine chambers. It specifically states in the report the ARVO contractors’ intent to go forward in constructing the first prototype aircraft of this design, as according to their contract. Here is a link to the Project 1794 PDF file in a downloadable format.
