“I am anti-death penalty, myself, but at some point we have to let it go. We have bigger fish to fry right now, pardon the pun.”

That’s the problem. There is no “right” way to kill someone.

Not just very ill-equipped, but uniquely ill-equipped.

“Donald Trump, a man who is very ill-equipped to run the country”

I hope his phone calls and emails are monitored...For national security, I hope someone is watching him.

It’s crazy because without the job he’d NEVER recieve even the basic of security clearances. He has all the red flags of someone who would be easily bribed or blackmailed into giving away classified information.

Rule of thumb in a world where Trump is the president: anything you say satirically has a big chance of actually coming to pass.

I just feel actively bad all the time

Sigh, I miss Caribou Coffee, they pulled out of my city a year or two ago. Was like Starbucks but certain drinks were better, and the vibe was a little more casual since they were considered a “lesser” chain. Also, 10 cents off a order if you got the trivia question right, and they had free wi-fi while Starbucks was…

I don’t think people spend time focusing solely on changing the way suicide is posed in common language usage. Mental health professionals and advocates for those that are at risk have thought about the language surrounding suicide and are trying to take the stigma out of it. The purpose of this is to make it more…

Yeah I’ve made a full 180 and have been doing great for years.

Okay, you think that the phrasing doesn’t matter, then what do you have to lose by listening to the suicide bereavement and prevention groups that say it does matter? And why do you think you know so much more than those people?

Where exactly are you getting this idea that the guilt and shame of feeling suicidal is the only thing keeping some suicidal people from doing it? You have it completely ass-backwards: the “social pressure” prevents them from seeking help, thereby INCREASING the likelihood of suicide.

There’s a thread up above talking about suicide, with a number of posters expressing how wrong and selfish it is. I don’t think they understand what these people go through leading to their decision to take their own life. The immense pain, the hopelessness, the depression, the feeling that they are harming those they…

Well when both suicide bereavement groups and suicide prevention groups are saying “the terms we use matter” I’m going to listen to them because they actually know what they are talking about. I can’t believe you think that people are talking about terminology just in terms of “oh, how would the dead person feel about…

Some of my memories of Salaam and that amazing ‘94 season.

Damn.

I’m ok with this. Hear me out.

My first job out of college was being a board operator at a sports radio station in Denver. Rashaan was the guest interview on a show about CU, and he came into the studio and stayed for the entire hour, even though it was a snowy, icy night in the middle of the week.

After the show, we were introduced, and spent about…

Sometimes it helps to remember those who have passed during happier times. I’m going to remember the 1995 Fiesta Bowl, where Salaam and Colorado fucked up Notre Dame, and a nation smiled.
