this is... ummmm... this is actually creepy. By you. Fuck Ted Cruz, but you’re fucking weird Ellie.

It’s really hard to understand....that’s my first thought too. It seems like no matter what you would see those kids faces flash before you and not pull that trigger. I only have to think that if you are in that state of mind, you’re thinking that you are actually making their life BETTER by killing yourself, because…

I agree with JeziOpnawkspin. The dude had responsibilities to help raise his children with his wife. Asshole move

Jesus fucking Christ. Of course I’m not saying they’re exactly the same as a physical illness on like a molecular level.

Holy fuck, you actually write for Gawker? There are some idiots here, but you may now be the dumbest writer in the offices... and yes I’ve actually been in your offices with it’s creepy silence while you all basically sit at communal desks. At least other Gawker writers know what the fuck they’re talking about. Even…

Because with cancer, the cancer pulls the trigger... Mirra pulled the trigger. I’m sure he was mentally ill. I’ve never questioned that once. But HE is the one who made the decision to end his life today.

Look, I know you’re really trying hard to pigeon hole me into saying things I didn’t say or insinuate, but it ain’t happening. The moment he offed himself? Sure, he is a shitty father in that moment. And a selfish asshole. You’re trying to take my statements and lead them five steps down roads I’m not even walking…

there are years worth of studies and psychologists who would tell you that you’re wrong.

Let’s be clear about something. What I said specifically did not fit the bullshit you wanted to spew back at me, so you literally made up a quote that fit what you wanted. That’s fucking weird in any discussion... mate. So let me know when you’re ready to have an honest and genuine discussion, and not just make shit…

ahhh, the old “we disagree so clearly you have no experience” argument. Get a new schtick. Thanks ;)

Nah. I do. He’s still an asshole.

then we cross that bridge when we get there. But I’m not going to comment on a grossly hypothetical situation that has no evidence to support it when discussing such a serious situation. That’s Nancy Grace shit.

I can’t really disagree with you (except for the “may have acted selfishly” part. He absolutely did). My mom suffered from depression and had contemplated suicide I know before she died... We’ll never know what was in his head and what was happening just like I never truly knew what was happening in her head.…

I’ll preface this by saying I don’t buy into the “suicide is selfish” narrative, but eff this dude man. Two young kids and a wife? Sorry, but it takes a complete asshole to off themselves with two young kids still.

I’m looking forward to reading this, but that was certainly my first reaction.

fuck that announcer on Fallon is insufferable

Most Likely To Fail Upward

not a KU or Self fan by any stretch but there is exactly zero chance Self calling the kid out was a bigger dick move than dunking in a near 20 point blowout while no one is guarding you and the time’s running out. the other team was walking off the court, literally.

I’m biased as a KU alum/fan, but I have no clue why anyone would call him an “insufferable prick,” for this or anything. If he doesn’t at least acknowledge it postgame then he looks like an asshole too. And Greene has been a textbook knucklehead the past two seasons, so this didn’t exactly come unprovoked. If he…
