My wife previously worked at a dentist office where the dentist had his labradoodle trained as a therapy dog. The dog would sit chair side and hold the patients hand. We visited the dentist at his home on a regular basis and one time I was super stressed (but thought I was keeping it to myself). As soon as I sat down he came over and just gave me the biggest dog hug ever and I really did feel my stress level go down. Normally when we came over he would grab a toy and want to play but it seems like he could sense I was off that day.

I don’t like the term “wellness”. There, I said it.

3rd: people don’t think they have rights to the knowledge, skills, and information that physically resides in their heads. As opposed to the idiot billionaires who claim absolute, exclusive ownership over knowledge they couldn’t even squat upon, they’re so ignorant.

It reminds me of the Rush Limbaugh clip that Dan Savage has played where Rush sneers at the concept of consent in sexual relationships. (In a “Can you believe this is what some people think is important?!” way.) These people want to live in a toxic hellscape.

The reason some people are bothered by safe spaces is because they believe that only certain kinds of people should feel entitled to security.

As a lawmaker, does he also consider whatever, to him, occurs as mental health? I think what we have been seeing is an attempt to re-define that which can be legally enacted upon. When Kauffman was asked about how this law would be enforced, actual policy questions about it, he was the one who was offended. Equally, when asked about his policy on NPR, he hung up. Imagine that; the questions of finding out tangible facts about his policy is an “agenda”, again, as he defines it. Kauffman lists his primary concerns as Iowan land and property ownership. I think he should stick with what he knows and leave mental health services to those more appreciative of what it constitutes.

I’m a dirty foreigner, not capable of understanding your superior American ways.
Can any of you explain to me why the fact that you have a legislator that presents a law that he himself calls “Suck it up, Buttercup” doesnt inmediatly end with the whole legislative body he is in laughing their asses off or telling him to grow the fuck up?

That they seem to aim for Cobra Commander levels of maturity is another thing.

Because enough of the legislature on both sides of the aisle share meaning and narrative with him on this subject that it doesn’t seem farcical at first glance. They’d have to question an assumption they already share before they could be incredulous about his legislation.
