The goal is to use the word coup often so that the word loses its punch, that way when an actual coup happens people will just shrug when it's reported and think it's just a minor occurrence.

It takes a lot of training and a lot of self care. I'm very lucky to work with an employer that does truly emphasize self care and allows us to do that.

Thank you, I appreciate that.

I'm a crisis intervention specialist, which means I'm a counselor who specifically works with suicidal individuals and those undergoing similar crises.

Lmao, how on earth is the loss in faith in news organizations your justification for refusing to endorse a political candidate? It's like he's tone deaf as to why people are losing faith in news organizations.

"People no longer trust news organizations because we prop up this false dichotomy of both political sides being "equal" despite one side being clear and dangerous fascism. In order to try and gather faith in my news organization, I'm going to double down on this and refuse to acknowledge this problem." What a joke.

So the absolute first that comes to mind is a joke answer: Strong Woman, the vice Principal from South Park.

The actual answer is Phryne Fisher

This just reads to me like he did something super illegal, and his only hope to avoid arrest is a Trump win.

"Hope the night is manageable." I work in a field where people aren't sure how to wish me a good night at work.

988 is not using any AI in conversations with callers to my knowledge. I know that some branches are looking at implementing AI for training purposes, to perhaps give more realistic simulation calls for trainers, but at no point should anybody calling 988 needing help encounter an AI. For the chat platform, I know that the messaging system has some automatic questions that it asks everyone at the very start of the conversation, but it's a machine in the classic sense, and is not AI. Chat/Texters should not be encountering AI either.

988 Worker here.

Every single time someone asks me what we can do to fight the mental health epidemic in the U.S. and the rising suicide rates, I always always tell them the keys are workers rights, affordable housing, a healthcare system that doesn't suck, all of this shit that the person asking typically doesn't want.

I'm not aware of this having happened anywhere. At least not with the 988 Suicide Prevention Lifeline, which I assume is the line that's being referenced.
