      What’s the alternative? Locking up people who haven’t committed a crime if a doctor doesn’t like what they’re saying? This guy probably is schizophrenic but plenty of conspiracy theorists aren’t and people saying something true but unpopular sometimes sound like conspiracy theorists.

          I don’t think this guy would take any pills you tried to give him unless you literally forced them down his throat. (They’re created with computer too.)

              Mental healthcare is currently unavailable as we wait for a replacement part that is on backorder. In the meantime, please accept these sign boards and this extra large sharpie for the inconvenience.

          I think art therapy would work better than medication in this case.

          (Also, taking away someone’s driver license is tantamount to imprisonment in modern America.)

      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.

    I like that this person ran out of space so decided to create more space by tacking more material on the top of the car.

    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.

    Imagine having to extend you car with plates at the top, because there is not enough room for you psychotic scribbles. Then leaving a shit ton of white space at the bottom.

    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.
