I’d avoid using “guts” or “bravery” when talking about either committing or avoiding suicide. More often or not it’s a decision made out of desperation, and that desperation is often skewed by depression.

Better to avoid prescribing values of virtue one way or another.

Now I guess I have to watch the entirety of Twin Peaks except most of the second season again. Thanks a lot.

This is the most specific and accurate thing I’ve ever heard.

I just want to post something that’s helped me with depression in the past. It might not be the lift that everyone needs, but it’s certainly helped me on more than one occasion. If someone could boost the comment out of the grays, I’d really appreciate it.

And I’d like to add some personal advice to the chorus that you…

I don’t think anyone is disagreeing with that. Practically everyone is responding to Haruhi’s comment, a guy who’s a demonstrated nazi troll. What we shouldn’t be doing is justifying the assertion that “Nah, suggesting people get help is selfish”.

Because if you’re depressed, and you hear that it’s not going to get…

Okay. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be encouraging people to find help. Just because we shouldn’t be stigmatizing suicide doesn’t mean we should be ambivalent to it.

The OP was just saying “If you feel this way, reach out to someone”. And our resident nazi troll was demeaning that as selfish.

Here’s the thing. Some people will decide that life isn’t worth living, and that’s not something we should be demeaning. But it’s important to remind people that there are resources out there,…

As someone who has personally dealt with people with serious suicide risks in my family, friends circle, and past relationships, all I can say is fuck you.

Reach out before you do anything drastic is always a good motto, no matter how far in the shit you may seem to be. Suicide isn’t something you can’t take back, so…

Whenever Daniel Craig smiles, a natural disaster strikes somewhere in the world.

If he’s willing to deploy one of his smiles for the sake of this movie, things really must be going well. I trust that he knows the weight of his mirth.

He could still be fielding reports, analyzing the situation, and making calls.

Book it to the situation room, I’d presume.

Fortunately, there’s plenty of people who have been willing to step into the spotlight and pick up the slack. Folks like Wyatt Cenac and John Oliver are doing great work that digs even deeper into the issues. I’d presume Samantha Bee is doing the same, and I hear good things about her show but haven’t had the chance…

Yeah. It’s basically the basement from Cabin in the Woods played straight.

I’m trying to find my niece to wish her a happy birthday are you there vanessa? is this where your email is? happy birthday!

Excuse you. I make $20,000 a day working from home for Amazon. I learned about it from my aunt who’s on disability, and now I can teach you how to be in the club.

Wow. Yes, THAT’s clearly The Problem. How could I not see it before?

Here’s the thing though. Your points are very valid. But he doesn’t seem to be talking about how capitalism is overtaking the cannabis farming and retail industry and driving gentrification.

What he seems to be upset about, unless I’m missing something here, is how he was exploiting a shitty weed gimmick “before it was…

These are all fair points, but they don’t sound like the points that he’s making. Though I could be just misreading his intent.

Like, it sounds like he’s mad at Quizno’s and Carl’s Jr. for exploiting the popularity of weed to sell sandwiches which is his entire schtick? But I may be biased. I hate cool dad restaurant…

Yeah, I smoke my fair share of weed, and this guy just sounds like a douchebag.

Thank you for your bravery, Cecilia. It’s my hope that this will ensure that more of us can speak openly about our disinterest in NGE without fear. It’s been a long, hard road, but I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
