Suicide comes in many different flavors. The most common in my limited experience is desperation. If you are so utterly desperate for literally anyone to listen to you, I don’t see how it would hurt. Especially since there’s such a positive stigma surrounding the hotline. I personally know a couple of people that the hotline helped.

I like meat, and if it’s not for morality then what other reason is there?

I was on Lexapro and I have ADHD as well. All it did for me was made me tired for the first week. And then nothing.

I see the disconnect. Most people would use the physics definition of sound, you’re using the physiologic definition. So yes you’re right, however no you’re wrong.

“Next” refers to the occurrence that follows the current. “This” means the occurrence that is present. I’m regards to days, it usually follows a week to week basis, Monday through Saturday.

If its Friday and I say “this Saturday” it’s referring to the Saturday in the current week. Tomorrow. “Next Saturday” would be 8 days later.

Sound isn’t dependent on whether someone hears it, but instead IF someone could hear it. IF a person was around, you would hear it. A sound wave doesn’t come into being just because you happened to be around. It’ll exist regardless if you are capable of hearing it or not.

Thats a bit of a glass heart take. I, personally, don’t think animals should suffer before they’re slaughtered. They should live happy lives up until then. But we’re predators just like any other carnivore.

The only difference is that we have stronger emotions and the ability to consider the consequences of our actions as well as empathy for other beings.

But if you like meat, you’re not being a baby. If anything it’s the opposite. You care less about the animals than the meat it comes from. And I don’t think that’s wrong. That’s just evolution.

We’re such strong predators, that the majority of humans will never even kill their prey. We cage animals and slaughter them to feed our masses. And as long as we do that ethically (which we’re not. I’ll admit that), I don’t think it’s a bad thing, it’s nature.

You wouldn’t deny a lion it’s prey, so why berate fellow humans for the same thing? Instead the focus should be on ethical and sustainable ranching and farming.

I really don’t like that level of responsibility. Probably just put the country under anarchic rule, and head back home.

Discworld work make an incredible series of movies. I think D&D Honor Amongst Theives proves that modern comedy fantasies can work great in a movie format.

My other choice would be House of the Scorpion.

Personally I feel like it happens less often. The Catholic Church really have a reputation. I’ve only ever heard ‘altar boy’ to mean a young boy who’s being groomed and taken advantage of. I have no fucking clue what an altar boy really is.

Whoever it definitely still happens with protestants. Usually with youth pastors (surprise, surprise).

“American cheese isn’t even cheese”. I mean ‘american cheese’ is very processed. But go to Wisconsin and tell me we don’t have good cheese.

There’s plenty of good quality stuff in America. We just can’t fucking afford it.

The US has built its empire on convenience. There’s plenty of solid brands out there, but the biggest and well known are the companies that cut corners and quantity so they can keep prices low. And us US citizens just eat that shit up.

Amish style butter is some of the best butter I’ve ever had. You can find it all over the place in the Midwest and Amish heavy states.

If you don’t use YouTube, you’re also screwing over the content creators you enjoy. You can cause harm to a company in many ways. Stop using a site prevents them from making money off of you. Preventing them from actively making money off of you while you’re still using the site actively takes money away from them. It is double sided sword because you’re also not actively supporting that content creator. However, if they don’t have another platform to post on, you can instead buy merch, donate, or simply help the algorithm boost their content by watching their content.

I don’t disagree with you. YouTube should no longer be a viable business. Something else should step in and rival them. But since that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen, I’ll be happy running adblocks, and letting them not recoup their server and operation costs from me.

We already have one! They did an event about 3-4 months ago. https://toast.ooo/c/canvas

We don’t actually promote higher levels of dopamine as far as I know. Dopamine agonists work by mimicing what dopamine does to your nervous system. It doesn’t actually produce any more. Also you can be given dopamine intravenously. It is mostly used to raise blood pressure in newborns. But you are right. For other uses, its smarter to mimic it, because of how short it lasts.

We do, however, promote a higher concentration of serotonin with SSRIs. We do that by blocking natural inhibitors that destroy serotonin after being used. This way we can use them more before they die off.

Hello neighbor might be good. I enjoyed the first one, the rest not so much. But I imagine a young kid would love it.

I wouldnt mind the first kind if they didnt have a playbook to defute every single one of your points in a manipulative way. I really don’t give a shit what you support as long as it doesn’t directly involve hate or oppression, and as long as you don’t try to shove it down others throats or try to insult people with opposing views every chance you get.

I imagine a lot of people over im hexbear are chill. I hope so at least. However, every encounter ive had with them, feels like the conservatives over on reddit. They try to ‘own’ you with loaded talking points, and bad faith arguements.

The cop said that their policy is to not serve uniformed military, not the bakery. The bakery claims it has nothing to do with being a uniformed officer or military personal, they just dont allow firearms in the building.
