FUCKING FINALLY SOMEONE GOT IT!
“But we’re getting so many views right now, fam…”
I've tasted friendship (Ha-ha)
I've tasted you (Oh no)
I've tasted dying and it tasted good
I've tasted heartbreak (Wah)
I've tasted food (Uh oh)
I've tasted dying and it tasted goodBut that's dessert
You can have it when the dinner is gone
But that's dessert (Uh-hoo-ah-oh-ah-oh)
But that's dessert
You can have it when the dinner is gone
So put it down
Jack Stauber mentioned!!! What the heck is a normal music video
How did they get the rope around him lol
Presumably someone grabbed him and then they grd the rope through and round. Adding more rope and belts as more folks arrived.
I'm very worried about everyone here. Really, I know that there is a way out that isn't suicide--it's revolution--but it seems like you've all submitted to Capitalist Realism. I've thought about risking my life in an attempt to overthrow the state, but unlike you all, I am legitimately afraid of losing my life. It'd be such a sad note to end my life on. I wouldn't be there to see any surprising good things happen. I wouldn't get to see a socialist system established before me, and I wouldn't be able to do anything to help anyone. How come you all feel fine about death? There's nothing afterwards. There were the Viet Cong who couldn't live to see their country establish socialism, there were the Leninists who died fighting the Tsar who couldn't see the Soviet Union come to be, there were the slaves who died in Southern plantations who couldn't see Juneteenth. If you were really willing to die, you'd die in battle.
Bruh bleeding out in a pit of mud on the battlefield as other random people fall on top of my already crushed ribs is way fucking worse than a bullet to the dome.
Plus, this revolution could easily go the other direction and I'll end up being tortured to death anyway. I feel like this take is possibly the most historically ignorant one possible.
People don't really feel "fine about death" but more like "being alive feels worse than death".
There is almost always some thing in such a person's life that is causing such feelings. Even if someone thinks the world is better off without them, it's caused by how they "perceive" their impact on the world, which can be caused by the way other people interact with them.

Then, after you get “saved” from suicide, they strip you of your rights and shove you in a cell for up to five days.
And that attitude is what the staff will have towards you. You are there to be punished for daring to be suicidal and trying to reject the gift of life. You’ll probably lose your job after the hospital stay, and then get stuck with thousands in bills for the “treatment” (sitting in a room watching day time tv while you listen to people in psychosis or dementia getting the shit beaten out of them by the staff.)
But this is a good thing! It’s so much better to be alive then not dead, that’s why we need to abuse suicidal people!
Yepo. I was on a 72hr hold after a manic episode caused by a med interaction (Wellbutrin, took away the mild depression but let the massive anxiety run wild) and it was the worst fucking experience of my life. Literally just stick you in a program that doesn't give a fuck about why your there, just headcount they can bill for. I was perfectly fine like 2hrs after I got locked in and spent the remaining 70hrs climbing the walls.
0/10 Do not recommend. And this was in Massachusetts, a place wildly known for good healthcare.
I’m in Oklahoma. I went in voluntary a few months ago for suicidal ideation (which I think is a rational reaction to the events of November…)
They upgraded me to involuntary illegally (like, a single therapist accused me of lying when I said I was no longer suicidal, and made the call to hold me.) I had vape smoke blown in my face, was misgendered and assaulted by staff.
I won’t call 988 or any service like that ever. There is no accountability or safety here
Never call 988. Choose life or choose death, do not choose the additional 25 thousand dollar bill, degradation, trauma, and suffering that comes from 988. It's a trap and the only people who win are big pharma, psychiatric inpatient facility investors or owners, and rich psychiatrists who sling drugs (that barely do more than a placebo), sling false hope, and sling financial exploitation.
Just say no to 988!
Just for context, 988 is a Canadian suicide crisis helpline.
That's so disappointing that one of the first resources that comes up when searching for help would be, essentially, a trap.

And then the people all clapped and patted themselves on the back for saving the guy and went about their day. But the guy went back to the same life full of problems that led him to despair. Crippling debt or depression. Estrangement from loved ones that are no longer willing to reconnect. Loneliness or defamation or disease. It's easy to save someone from jumping, but this is not help. That is not the help they need. They need constant and long term help, assistance, and support.
Saving a stranger from a suicide attempt has a vibe to it like preventing an abortion from happening without providing any further support for the mother or the child. Congrats, you saved a life, technically. But you did nothing to save the life.
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.

I disagree. Life can be awful and people can make rational decisions to die.
"Mental health crisis" and "incapable of making that decision" just are ways of saying "this person must be forced to give money to the mental health system through compliance with druggings and forced in-patient care that they will be billed for."
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.
I respect the right to die on your own terms, but when someone attempts suicide in such a public manner, and during the daytime with lots of bystanders around, I feel there's a chance they might want to be "saved."
Obviously following up and holistic support would be ideal. But even just putting myself in the shoes of someone walking by, I don't think I'd be able to just keep walking if I saw someone climbing over the ledge. Just in case.
I had a close older family member attempt when they were in their twenties. They're in their fifties and a ray of sunshine at family gatherings now. So you never know.
Because religious people have criminalized dying by choice, especially with assistance, it is impossible to parse out impulsive attempts from those who have highly rational reasons for wanting to die.
The solution to this, and many other problems, is simple: ban all religions.
I feel like the religion is more a mirror on society. See how more educated populations skew secular. The mainstream just does what it wants, sometimes gesturing to religion as an excuse. IMHO, anyway. I'm no anthropologist.
I'm definitely in favour of assisted dying. I know if I was planning my death I'd rather have some help. Shame we can't get the churches involved — culturally, they're well situated to provide a lot of comfort to certain people.

Nobody asks to be brought into this world. You should be allowed to determine when you've had enough.
