    Do these people think they’re convincing? Do they genuinely not see how crazy they look?

      I’d bet money it’s scitsophrenia, so no this person has no idea how crazy they look. They’re just doing their part to fight back against whatever the hell they think is happening.

    That’s why people still need huge cars. So that you can write all of your nutjob theories on it.

      By “forgot his meds” you mean “forgot to go to the doctor 30 years ago to get diagnosed so he could be prescribed them in the first place,” right?

      Not at all, people believe in magic sky faires and put stickers on their car about it… Hell lots of cop cars abs court rooms have nonsense about said sky fairy on it. In bobo we trust … Aside from scale, there’s no real difference.

    well at least it doesn’t look exactly like something that you would find in possession of a serial killer after they’re caught.

        yeah it’s usually in some basement or something instead, that’s why i said you find it after they’re caught.

        although it would be really funny if this guy got on the news for doing something bad and his neighbor would give an interview like “wow, we had no idea…”

    Why does this read like english is this persons 2nd language, but look like it was made by someone for whom english is infact their 1st language?

      Not making light, but this person’s first language is likely schizophrenia.

      At my high school a noticable number of students could barely read. They got passed through from a combination of parents trying to fire people if their kid is held back and teachers who either didn’t care or couldn’t spend the one on one time to help the kid. There was no functional system in place at my school to help kids who were borderline illiterate

      Depending where this is, between that and possible mental health stuff English could be their first language

        It’s tragic because a lot of these people aren’t just missing competent literacy but all the skills required to understand the world around them, and even worse often those ways of understanding have been replaced with religious nonsense by the people that raised them.

        Imagine trying to make sense of the world when you think scientists work like preachers and prophets simply saying whatever feels right or suits the moment.

    This truck is on to something. I asked my dog if she put a nano chip on my body and she said no, but it sounds like something the huskies next door would do.

      I’m afraid your dog has lied to you. We had a pretty husky back when I was a kid, before she became a farmer, and I can confirm that Huskies are incredibly stupid. Your dog wants to use the Huskies as Patsy’s for their own nefariousness.

        Honestly, sounds like my dog. She would throw pretty much any other dog under the bus, especially the ones with the gall to approach her fence.

    i really wish we had a more robust mental healthcare system that could help people like this before they get to this point.

      It’s really hard to reliably treat schizophrenics since they often don’t want to be treated. I don’t expect that this guy would take any pills without being forced to. (And then the medication isn’t perfect.)

        “Everything that you think about who you are is in fact the result of a mental defect. But, if you take these pills we can make you a different person” is the toughest sell in the world. And the psychiatric community needs to wise up to that fact.
