No. Stop. Don't.

There's not much you can do to change the decisions they've made, but you can reflect on your decisions and see if you want to try to change anything about yourself.

I don't know what exactly you're referring to when you say "misbehavior," but sometimes the stank will never come off a relationship after that. Also, people grow and over time may naturally drift together or apart. Could be you're still "misbehaving" but aren't aware of it.

This little girl opened a lemonade stand as a way to honor her mother and cope with her death, and her family and community rallied around her. There's nothing in here indicating they couldn't afford a tombstone, or that a tombstone was something the family even wanted before the girl came up with the idea. The community rallying around this girl is heartwarming, not orphan crushing.

You'll also notice Cuba seems to doing better than the US in every category, because they've only picked the figures that they can say Cuba does better in. There are lots of metrics in which Cuba fucking sucks. E.g. you think the US has a high imprisonment rate? Cuba blows the US out of the water on that one.

To be clear, there's no indication in this article that the family couldn't afford this. It sounds like they've got great family support. It also sounds like this was an activity this 7 year old took up completely independently, not because someone was like "oh no, we can't afford a tombstone." The article reads like this 7 year old is using this activity as a really positive way to cope with the loss of her mother, and then their supportive community picked up on it and ran with it.

I've participated in mental health crisis responses as a mental health professional, and I can tell you if there are reports of violence, weapons, or anything pointing toward physical danger, the police will lead or co-respond on the call. Similarly, we know how to gauge risk, IMO better than the police do. We will not engage or will disengage if we sense potential risk to anyone's physical safety and will call for police backup. When working with the public, you can never eliminate all risk, but there are already a ton of crisis social workers and paramedics out there doing this.

This is a potential "gotcha" moment for his lawyers, because they may face disbarment. Plenty of Trump's lawyers have actually faced disbarment, he leaves behind him a perpetual wake of disbarment.

He's been talking about jailing his opponents since 2015, and probably before that. I guess it gets old after awhile

Kanye is prone to severe mania with psychosis at best, but more likely schizoaffective disorder. His thoughts are not based in reality
