    This.

    You can push it back to 1944 if you’re in the US, the war wouldn’t have impacted you much. You could even push it back to 1940, but there may be some depression era nutrition issues.

    That bumps 2001 up to 57. Honestly go for a few more years and retire before '08 and die in 2019 before covid at age 75




  • A mental health crisis doesn’t need to be emotional. You’ve described acute depression.

    If you aren’t seeking it and can access healthcare do so. Things can get better. A lot in the world sucks, I won’t pretend that it doesn’t. But it all can be better even if it seems like it’s not.

    I’ve definently cried and held friends after a suicide attempt and cried when taking them to the hospital and cried again numerous times through the process. It was worth it at the end.

    Honestly I’d rather have people like you that realizes the flaws of the world around than people who think everything is great. Only those willing to acknowledge the flaws can work towards changing them. Doesn’t even have to be big just little stuff.

    Take care of yourself. I know it’s hard to believe a random person cares, but I do. I’ve seen this all play out too often in my short time here to not care


  • You’re likely part of the mental health industry. Only one of “them” would think 30K in additional debt (paid to mental health workers/doctors) is always better than death.

    Not even close lol. A lot of other people can think suicide is bad too.

    I’ve seen a lot of loved ones and friends struggle, but they got through. The debt was definently an issue. I’ve seen friends worried to get treatment due to the fear of lost wages and the medical debt. It is hard, but they got help and it all worked out. I do agree that medical debt is terrible and shouldn’t exist though.



  • No you dumbass they are going to be sent to get help.

    Nearly everyone that attempts suicide and survives regrets trying and are glad they’ve failed.

    Sorry for my strong language, but I’ve had friends and loved ones struggle with mental illness. A few have attempted suicide and either failed or have been stopped. I once took a friend’s gun the day before he tried to commit suicide. If I had not done that he would be dead today, but today he is happy. He has a life worth living and is doing infinitely better.

    Suicide attempts are a mental health crisis. In that moment that person is not of a sound mind and incapable of making that decision.

    This is nothing like going to a doctor and seeking a medical procedure like an abortion. If anything this is like a woman throwing herself down the stairs in an attempt to end a pregnancy. They don’t need to be allowed to throw themselves down the stairs. They need to be stopped and given access to proper medical care.


  • This hits way too close to home. In my time I have known many friends and loved ones that have dealt with suicidal ideation and a few attempts.

    Every single one of them is doing better now. They’ve all built lives and are happy. They are all so grateful they failed or were prevented from killing themselves.

    You don’t turn a blind eye when someone is having a mental health crisis. You help them.

    To your point in that moment they are not of a sound mind to be making that decision.




  • I don’t know why this has to keep being repeated. It’s not hard.

    Free speech does not mean you are entitled to have a private entity like a website host your content or speech.

    He is welcome to sing this on the streets. He is welcome to publish this himself, be it hosted by a website he creates or in a physical medium.

    He is not entitled to it being placed on retail shelves. He is not entitled to have it hosted on YouTube or Spotify.

    This isn’t hard. The government of the United States has made absolutely no moves to silence this song. He can sing it and personally distribute it as much as he wants. But no one can be forced to distribute it for him

    Archaeologist here, maybe it’s just new wave training but widely taught that it’s not an easy task to sex skeletons on morphology alone.

    Sure some features appear more commonly amongst men and some more commonly amongst women, but there is considerable overlap.

    Pelvis are generally identifiable, but the bio-archaeologists I know prefer to say the skeleton displays female characteristics without providing a definitive biological sex. They have to have some great evidence before claiming for certain.

    Also fun fact, you can’t measure this morphology when there’s still skin and muscle fucking attached.

    Nah that was their time. If you gave the average group of humans 40,000 years ago and an average group of modern day humans spears and told them to hunt a polar bear, the group from the past would be much more successful.

    Obviously our technology today makes it an easier task, but I’m very impressed at what our ancestors were capable of.

    Look up cave bears for a treat.
