That evening, someone didn't get the pizza they ordered. They must've been pretty bummed about it. But Anon was certainly happier to eat it than they were upset to not get it, so total happiness increases!

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 45 points 2 years ago

Anon told his boss, so maybe boss ordered another pizza?

[-] shneancy@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

yea most likely someone just had to wait double the time for their pizza, which can be as little as 20minutes

[-] cactusupyourbutt@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

and no matter how miffed I‘d be about the longer wait, I would be very happy about it if they explained it

[-] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Probably the boss explained something happened and sent them another pizze for free or gave them a refund.

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem

[-] Paranomaly@sh.itjust.works 46 points 2 years ago

This is a good saying and sometimes true, but mental illness is usually a forever problem. I don't say that to disparage it either; depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and internalized abuse fucking suck and it takes a while to tear down the self preservation instinct to the point where an ending can seem appealing, even if just for a moment.

This is why we need to legalize psychedelics. When paired with counseling, they can create moments where you can see alternatives, which gives therapy a solid shot at success even for advanced cases.

Eventually I realized that life itself is a temporary problem in the grand scheme of infinities. That realization kept me alive long enough to develop more positive coping tools.

[-] pixeltree 23 points 2 years ago

A permanent solution sounds pretty nice

[-] boatsnhos615@lemmings.world 18 points 2 years ago

Works 100% of the time when completed. You can't argue with results

[-] Hikermick@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

One person's problem is over but everyone who cared about them has problems that are just beginning

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago

the temporary problem of always being a corporate slave until I die anyways, and failing every attempt at running a business or getting a better paying job, etc. Health continually tanking, bloody poop, constant migraines, cognitive decline, way behind on taxes again, feeling stressed out by any and all social stuff, no motovation to do anything yet trudging on for no idea why, nothing is fun, earth is being killed by the ultra rich and nothing is working, the masses are becoming more stupid and only helping worsen everything. dunno probably more. it comes and goes for me. my animals still need me but if I didn't have them I wouldn't have the energy for more of this shit. Maybe if it didn't cost so much to merely be alive, let alone do or have enjoyable things.

I mean, to be fair he was literally out with a friend. A new friend, yes, but a friend.

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 22 points 2 years ago

That is, indeed, the point of that line.

[-] dwindling7373@feddit.it 4 points 2 years ago

No, the point of that line is that he did not, in fact, told his parents about his suicide attempt.

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 12 points 2 years ago

Sorry, but this is just very poor media literacy. There are several paragraphs detailing friendly activities, concluding with "he gives me his phone number and tells me i can come back whenever i want", followed by the "i was out with friends" line. It's very, very obviously implying that anon recognises they have made a friend.

And yes, also, anon did not tell their parents about their suicide attempt.

Got stopped by a rando while trying to build up the courage to jump. Told him that my car was broken down and that's why I was stopped in the middle of the bridge in pouring down rain.

He got out and offered to help me, despite the fact that it was 3AM and the rain was coming down hard.

Awkward.

The car of course started just fine and I thanked him and continued my drive home.

I doubt he had any idea the difference he made.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 32 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

was actually going to an hero

This is the most awkward fragment I've ever seen. Was it a typo? Autocorrect? Pasted in the wrong spot? All 3??

I can't seem to fix it. Not what this post is about but it annoyed me, so now you have to be annoyed as well.

EDIT: Got it, it's celebrating suicide. I never got into 4chan or their specific culture, and right now, that's my sole source of comfort.

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 22 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

'An hero' is an old 4chanism that means committing suicide

[-] tweeks@feddit.nl 21 points 2 years ago

A few comments below taught me that it apparently originates from this meme where it was a mix of a typo and a loving description of a suicidal person.

[-] itslilith 5 points 2 years ago

wow, just when you think 4chan can't sink any lower

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago

Lol 'sink lower'.

4chan is the bottom, there is no lower to sink.

[-] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

iirc it comes from a someone posting about thier son who killed themselves and made a typo saying "he was an hero" so naturally 4chan turned the phrase "an hero" into a way to say "to commit suicide".

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 7 points 2 years ago

Thank you. That's... awful.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Thats 4chan

[-] psud@aussie.zone 17 points 2 years ago

'an hero' means to suicide

[-] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Fuckin hell I'm old lmao. Anyone else with me? This was the standard speak of 4chan back in like.... '07...'08?

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago

Like '05, it's old. Fuck. I'm old.

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Are there any pizza places that deliver at 1 AM?

[-] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago

There was a place near my college that delivered until 4am. Horrible pizza. Got it all the time.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 9 points 2 years ago

There are 24/7 pizza places in sufficiently big cities. I think there are 2 or 3 here; I know there's at least 1. As well as a Chinese place and a Mexican place that are bomb as fuck, especially at 2 in the morning.

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago

The rural mind cannot comprehend, to be honest.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Fr. I could definitely get food that late living in a small rural town; but I'd have to drive to the nearest freeway exchange where the places were 24/7 for travellers. We even had a Taco Bell and it closed at 11. Like wtf?

i worked at a Dominos that would regularly be delivering that late

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Mad Mushroom Pizza. I only know of locations in Lexington, KY, and Lafayette, IN. They may have opened a few more locations.

Any reasonably sized city will have a couple joints.

Back when I was drinking heavily I ordered after the bars closed more than once.
