Wild that we let a person cover their vehicle with signs that essentially say "I have severe untreated mental illness and no grip on reality", and society at large says "sure, keep operating that heavy machinery in public".

[–] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (8 children)

"I have severe untreated mental illness and no grip on reality"

(Emphasis mine)

That is a vast oversimplification of how people work. It is absolutely plausible to me that someone might believe obvious lies but is otherwise qualified to drive heavy machinery. Analyzing the society you live in is a totally different skill than driving.

For example, if I found out my bus driver literally believes that reptilians run the world, I would still trust them to drive my bus because driving a bus has nothing to do with lizard people. Conversely, I wouldn't trust a bus driver who agrees with everything I believe in but is currently having a panic attack.

This is important to me because I am mentally ill (treated, but mentally ill nonetheless) and autistic (which is treated like a mental illness), and this is the kind of logic that tyrants use to manufacture popular consent to further marginalize mentally ill people.

[–] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 11 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Look, I understand the line you are trying to walk here, but encountering a vehicle like this and thinking "this guy just has different ideas than me, but is otherwise trustworthy" is not rational thinking.

There's a difference between believing in conspiracy theories and covering your van with warnings about the nanochips on your body that give you computer generated diseases.

If I learned that someone suffering extreme paranoid delusions like this were in charge of operating a passenger vehicle, I would be extremely concerned with the safety of those passengers.

This isn't some unreasonable thing. I have a lot of compassion for those who suffer from mental illness, but I also think that public safety should take precedent when it is clear that someone is mentally incapable of being trusted with things like heavy machinery.

It's not the ideas expressed on this vehicle that concern me. It's that every part of this indicates a serious and untreated mental health problem. The only way my opinion could be redeemed is if the owner of the van came forward and said it was a joke, or a prop for a movie or something, because nobody with a connection to reality is going to write those things all over a truck and parade around town trying to spread the word if they aren't severely dissociated from reality.

And I cannot stress this enough, nothing about this story has anything to do with Autism. Paranoid delusions are not a typical issue for Autistic people.

take videos and photos of this truck and spread it on the Internet

This dude is giving mixed messages.

Oh you have a common beginner question. Let me clear it up with a simple diagram:

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Thanks. It all makes sense now!

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

Always remember that you are educated stupid and that there are 4 simultaneous 24 hour days, and you should be fine.

[–] Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca 42 points 4 months ago (2 children)

if you are addicted to cat and dog you have a nano chip on your body

so thats what's causing it

[–] Technus@lemmy.zip 35 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Okay but the real question is, can these nano chips run DOOM? Where can I find out how to jailbreak these bad boys?

I like that this person ran out of space so decided to create more space by tacking more material on the top of the car.

Why does this read like english is this persons 2nd language, but look like it was made by someone for whom english is infact their 1st language?

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 39 points 4 months ago

Not making light, but this person's first language is likely schizophrenia.

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

At my high school a noticable number of students could barely read. They got passed through from a combination of parents trying to fire people if their kid is held back and teachers who either didn't care or couldn't spend the one on one time to help the kid. There was no functional system in place at my school to help kids who were borderline illiterate

Depending where this is, between that and possible mental health stuff English could be their first language

[–] VirtualOdour@sh.itjust.works 13 points 4 months ago

It's tragic because a lot of these people aren't just missing competent literacy but all the skills required to understand the world around them, and even worse often those ways of understanding have been replaced with religious nonsense by the people that raised them.

Imagine trying to make sense of the world when you think scientists work like preachers and prophets simply saying whatever feels right or suits the moment.

Imagine having to extend you car with plates at the top, because there is not enough room for you psychotic scribbles. Then leaving a shit ton of white space at the bottom.

I for one appreciate the illustration. Without it, I felt like I was reading gibberish

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 22 points 4 months ago

People like this think computers and electronics are magic.

i really wish we had a more robust mental healthcare system that could help people like this before they get to this point.

Looks like someone forgot his meds and found a sharpie!

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

By "forgot his meds" you mean "forgot to go to the doctor 30 years ago to get diagnosed so he could be prescribed them in the first place," right?

That truck was created on a computer.

That truck has a computer in it

[–] Rayspekt@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

That's why people still need huge cars. So that you can write all of your nutjob theories on it.

This would look better on a Cybertruck

Ah yes. Aria 52. I've heard so much about it. The actual location of the aliens. Instead of area 52: the tourist attraction

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

No no, it's 62. It's a conspiracy that's 10 bigger.

He's right about one thing: some posts on the internet can cause brain cancer.

It's like a Dr Bronners bottle on bath salts.

Hmmm.... maybe they ate (smoked? Boofed?) bath salts in the bath while cleaning with Dr. Bronners.

This truck is on to something. I asked my dog if she put a nano chip on my body and she said no, but it sounds like something the huskies next door would do.
