Michael liked a post in a topic by pheonix561 in TAPPY I AM PUBLICALLY ASKING YOU A QUESTION
Do you plan to go into web hosting/web design/website stuff as a profession, and are you already going that in any ventures beyond hnet? Just wondering. Everyone seems to agree you do a pretty ace job running the forums, and you've been doing it for so long I figure it would look pretty good on a resume if you ever applied anywhere. Maybe you could even get a job working with Dustin somehow? idk

This is what shows up when I click "reputation activity" which is what I assume likes are. It doesn't show me given or received.

To clear this up, it is called the Pine Rest Mental Hospital. I was there being treated for severe depression, and because i was considered a danger to myself. I was taken to a medical hospital after the attempt, and a group of doctors petitioned that i be taken in as an involuntady inpatient at the mental hospital.
what that MEANS is that "mental hospital" is not demeaning. looney bin, crazy home, insane asylum, those are all demeaning, but a mental hospital is what it is.

Does it matter?
Since "Psychiatric" has to do with mental illness and it's treatment. Does that generally not mean that saying "Mental Hospital" is the same thing? You go to a hospital for for treatment of an ailment. You go to a mental hospital to get treatment to a mental ailment.
If you think one is more demeaning than the other, when they both mean the same thing then that's your deal.
I do not think people are crazy because they say they go to a Mental Hospital instead of a Psychiatric Hospital.
For the record everyone is cray cray not just people who go to get treatment.
That being said I recommend we move on from this topic but do so as you all please.

Well I hardly see the point in arguing mental hospital to be somehow worse than psychiatric hospital, because I just googled it, and it says "Psychiatric hospitals, also known as mental hospitals and psychiatric wards ("psych" wards)." If "Mental Hospital" is worse, then so is "psych ward," and we're both wrong. But it's also worth noting, I feel, that the source here is wikipedia, which is not really a valid source to draw and cite information from and to. As long as we're linking first page google search results as proof, here's one that says the terms are freely interchangeable.
Most of the medical professionals I've met and neurodivergent friends I have generally use "mental hospital" and "psychiatric hospital" interchangeably in conversation or discussion. The terms are similar enough in practice that, to be frank, you're the first person I've ever met anywhere who has insisted on a distinction. If any stigma is associated with the term "Mental Hospital," that would come from American Horror Story trying to convince people of the same annoying, tired trope that these hospitals are the same now as they were when Bedlam was at it's peak.
EDIT: I have not actually seen American Horror Story's take on Mental Hospitals so I wouldn't know.

You are actually annoying me a bit. The video I posted just now is him making fun of all the homophobes who complain about the existence of non heterosexual characters in their video games. He had some other pro LGBT stuff in the past (like with tomodachi life). Point is the man has good opinions and you are ignoring them entirely because you assumed he was a douchebag based on his appearance. That's something I would expect from YouTube comments, not this forum.

You cannot pause the video, nor "rewind."
Once it starts to play, it keeps going, if someone is watching. If no one is watching it pauses where it was last at until someone returns, then it continues again.
