Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

While I do really hate this guy, and I also assume he isn't mentally fit to manage a Wendy's, never mind being president...we shouldn't be listening to doctors willing to diagnose psychiatric conditions or mental health based on how someone is acting on TV. No doctor can get enough data to make an accurate diagnosis that way.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, Any doctor thats willing to go on TV and diagnose someone they've never personally met, is a doctor that should be ignored and avoided.

cause no reputable doctor will go on TV and do that shit.

Plenty of reputable doctors will go on TV to discuss illnesses and shit, but they wont diagnose someone like this.

This cat is a PhD doctor, not a medical doctor. I wouldn't listen to any of his diagnosises.

I mean, what shine the article, it's the hatred. thats as far as possible from any clinical stance.

Yet they have telemedicine, that is tantamount to "how someone is acting on TV", no?

[–] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

What? Absolutely not. Are you talking to people on your TV? More importantly, are they answering your questions? Have you ever even had a telemedicine appointment?

For Medical marijuana with an M.D. By the way, they now have AI to detect malingering by video. so... if an AI can do it, the doctor could use the tool & get the results as their own. That's what is happening Right Now with AI. People are passing off AI results as their own, and they are generally better. My understanding is AI can get 90% on the LSAT & by next week will probably have the same result or better on the MCAT. [zero passes]
