Encourages them to what? Not starve?

I get that, but if I’m out on the street and haven’t eaten in quite awhile I’m going to be helped out a lot more by someone giving me a muffin than donating the money to buy that a muffin to an organization.

Sure, but that’s not really a satisfying answer for the person asking for money or food, is it?

I have never been asked, when ordering food, who the food was for.  Why would a location selling food care who the food was for?

Whew. That man be writin HITS.

Yeah I know y’all not feeling Miley but Billy Ray can come to the cookout. I mean his wife is a weed mogul.

Exactly! I make a cookie-sheet pizza pretty much every Friday night. Add a little onion or garlic powder to the bread dough, make up a quick herbed tomato sauce, sliced pepperoni and shredded mozz and throw it in the oven, Good to Go!

You’re a fucking idiot. He’s using this as an opportunity to start a dialogue about mental health, and he literally didn’t make it about himself at all, he made it about everyone else. 

I wouldn’t call it that, no. Not only does Arn pay complete respects to the situation, his outreach is to prevent this kind of scenario from happening to anyone in the comments section who might be seeking for the help.

1.) We don’t know that the young man is dead. He may be, but he may also have kept walking—and I’m holding out hope for the latter.

Thank you fam, I love my Kotaku family very much and we just gotta get through this hell life together. Ironically the 7th and final attempt was thwarted because i tried to cut myself, it hurt and I decided I didn’t want to try again LOL!

same. Rachels comments are a blessing in here when often this place can get really toxic and awful.

Thank you for posting this.  You rock!  For what it’s worth I’m glad you are still around kicking it.  Yay!  <3

I hear you. I was molested multiple times between ~5y and ~7yr. Never told anyone about it and my mother thought that it was a positive thing that I’d hide between my bed and the wall at night: that way I wouldn’t be bothering her.

He’s 19, 19 years old, a baby...I sincerely hope that its not the end but.

Smashing with the flat? Not at all - especially if it’s a good carbon steel knife.

I was really hoping you were just going to open a bag of pre-peeled garlic.

I used to feed the kids I babysat for (and now adults like me and still my friends) lettuce, toast, mayo sandwiches and it was because they never had food.

I WANTED THIS SO BAD AS A CHILD YOU HAVE NO IDEA! I would sing the commercial to my mom and she’d be like “that is white people shit, no.”

Obviously, ramon was a staple in my life, but I’d end up with 2/3 a loaf of bread in the fridge that I didn’t want it to go bad.
