- throwaway9z9y 9y agoI’d see a psychologist because THAT child kinda sounds like a sociopath.
- throwaway9z9y 9y agoI know this is HN and the mob is capricious and vengeful, but the downvotes make no sense. Hurting other children and laughing about it is actually a frightening symptom of sociopathy. But I know The Atlantic isn’t about startups so everyone’s probably just ignoring the article.
- b4lancesh33t 9y agoYour advice is unhelpful, in two ways. One, you're suggesting a psychological diagnosis without nearly enough information. Two, the action you suggest taking (see a psychologist) is not an avenue available to the person you're talking to. How would them seeing a psychologist help when another person's child is the perpetrator? That's my guess about why you are being downvoted. If I had enough karma, I'd do the same.
- throwawaydjrix 9y agoJesus Fuck, fine then TELL THE PARENTS OF THE FUCKED UP KID TO TAKE THEIR CHILD TO A PSYCHOLOGIST. Are you people so incredibly dense that you can’t extrapolate and divine meaning? Oh right, this is the same crowd that thought that a guy winning with a write-in vote of himself was actually serious about seceding from the United States and declaring every Tuesday Taco Tuesday. > If I had enough karma, I’d do the same. Please. No. Oh god, not a downvote. Mercy me, I’m so glad you didn’t downvote! I’ve truly been spared.
