Pete Davidson in a Dark Place

raccoon · 2018-12-19T13:54:04.000Z

Comedian Pete Davidson is not doing so well.

If you Google his name, you'll see some of what he's going through.

Personally, I love Saturday Night Live and think Pete Davidson is a good person.

He suffers from mental illness, which is something that I also know about.

I hope he feels better soon, though I know it will take some work.

(Please try to keep politics out of this thread.)

Saturday Night Live hasn’t been good since the first and second generation. Now it’s the anti Trump show. It totally blows.

+1 on SNL…but I would say it a little more strongly if I thought I wouldn’t get flagged….Pete Davidson needs to man up and grow a set.

I hear that. He’s just the typical snowflake that can’t handle the real world.

Would you tell a cancer patient they need to “man up and stop being sick” as well?

It’s in vogue now to say you’re mentally ill. It’s a nice ‘safety net’ to disavow any ‘douche-baggery’ on one’s part. Similar to molestation 5-10 years back.

He does have the ‘fish eye’ condition, however, so he’s not totally a jerk.

Anyhow, I go back to the beginning of SNL and the greats that sprung forth. Now? Just a bunch of SJW trying to be edgy, like Pete.

No I’m pretty sure he is diagnosed.

https://www.mission22.com/ Lack of mental health care is an epidemic whether people choose to acknowledge it as such or not. Thats just one example of the people sufferring from it.

A hundred dollars and a cup of coffee will buy you any diagnoses you want, these days.

I totally agree with your last part, as I grew up in Los Angeles, went to school in the San Francisco area and have lived in Miami for ~34 years, so I see mental illness quite often. Heck, my dad’s a doctor and just hearing stories growing up would curl your short hairs.

I’ve seen real mental illness up front and personal.

It also doesn’t always validate ‘easy excuses’ for one’s abhorrent behaviors. Add to that the fact that comedians basically get a free pass in almost all cases (Michael Richards excepted) and who really cares?

And yes, I’m conservative, but thought some of the earlier DJT/White House skits were hilarious (MM doing Sean Spicer,) so I can laugh along with ‘funny’ gags and not get a ‘red behind’ over things.

I have to wonder why the OP would post such a provocative thread in the first place. It has nothing to do with flashlights or electronics like practicaly 100% of all the threads in BLF history.

Because like just about every other forum site on Earth, there’s usually a section for general topics, be they about sports, current events or other non-X-focused things.

He posted in the ‘off topic’ forum.

PD’s career potential took a hit with the Ariana Grande debacle and then the joke about the wounded warrior, so he’s gotta figure something out, or his career will be in the dumpster.

He’s no Adam Sandler, Chevy Chase, or John Belushi.

Multiple flags for my opinion? The OP’s thread seems to be nothing more than an attempt to garner sympathy for a Lilberal Hollly-Wood Bleeding Hearts Agenda. So man up and Flag away.
