:: TW- Somewhat graphic discussion of suicide

There’s fascinating data that explains that the reason men are more successful is because they suicide in a more violent fashion, and women tend to do things like poisoning.

“Women may be more likely to take others into consideration, and looking at suicide in the context of relationships may give women less incentive to want to die as it will cause others emotional harm. That may also be why they choose less violent methods of suicide to avoid traumatizing those who will grieve their loss.”

There are a lot of other reasons why the methods might be different. There are a lot of opinions on it. But of the people I’ve lost to suicide, a couple of women intentionally overdosed and left a note out where the family could find it indicating where they’d left their body so they didn’t have to come collect it themselves, or there was one who locked herself in the bathroom with a note on that door… and of the men it was hanging or a shotgun to the face in the woods behind his house. (Which resulted in the neighbor kids finding his body. Not cool.)

I fuckin loved spiced coke. I had a flat of the mini cans I got from Sam’s Club (don’t judge me, we don’t have a Costco or a Trader Joes where I live) and every day after I got home from the gym I’d have a can of spiced coke and it was the fuckin best.

But now it’s gone and I’m quite upset about it. The orange cream is fine but it’s not the spiced. AGH! They made a coke with all my favorite flavors and then ditched it!

If you read this comment in the style of, “this is an ad for Coke trying to yank at your heartstrings,” the ending is both hilarious and really satisfying. So thanks for that!

I don’t know why but I imagined you throwing it away while saying, “Gran wouldn’t stand for this!”

Oh my God! I also lived an entire life in a dream!

I was really lucky, because I lived to an old age, and then my husband died, and I was able to really come to peace with my life and have a healthy relationship with my grown children and my grandchildren before I woke up.

I guess what I did differently is I had closure, and peace. And it took a week for the reality to sink back in, and for this life to become the real one, but I always felt… that life had its chance, ended. This one needs my very different attention. I’d hate to do this one wrong because I was still living in the last one.

I’m so glad you found someone real to love. I feel like we should start a lived-a-life-in-a-dream support group. It would’ve been really nice to have someone who understood then, at the beginning!

So I’m an older lady, and when I was young, I was told many interesting things by women who were quite old (at the time.)

My mother’s family is from Siciliy.

Anyway all I’m saying is this sort of thing happened a lot, and if necessary, it will happen again.

Coincidentally, I’m almost 40 and have never married… but I haven’t been single in many, many years. Those stories will stick with ya, and there’s no need for divorce where there’s no marriage.

The kind of people who want to end no fault divorce don’t actually care about female suicide.

Warn them that men’s life expectancy dramatically increased due to no fault divorce. Because a woman trapped in a bad marriage kills her husband.

Love… and… PEACE!!!

I was going to say, “pecking order.”

I just got Hello Kitty Island Adventure and I want to get Pompompurin’s Mom and Dad to visit but they need so much stuff I don’t have yet!!

I want to put food in my mouth. It’s okay if the food is shaped in pleasing ways, but there’s nothing ‘pleasing’ to me about tiny assholes or fake poop. Hard. Pass.

Did you see the Spy x Family movie? Why was there a like, 2 minute short in the middle about the God of Poo? The world is strange and inscrutable.

You can use this to blame cat people, but this is just a class of people obsessed with buttholes and poo. I’m remembering a post a while back where someone had made a little dog bun, and if you pressed down on it, chocolate came out of it’s butthole. Nasty.

Edit: Pic is the first thing I got off google typing in ‘dog bun you press that has chocolate come out.’ Obviously this wasn’t the same thing I was talking about but I refuse to search further.

I wish we could trade. I’d give you some CHA if it meant I could stop injuring myself.

I need to start teaching “Charisma for the Neurologically Atypical” classes.

So I took it for a little while for my blood sugar. (I’m a non-diabetic hypoglycemic, and it doesn’t just ‘smooth’ glucose for people with diabetes- it smooths it for anybody who could use it for that. I’m off of it now because it’s so goddamned expensive.)

Lemme say… It’s such a miracle drug, and improves so much stuff, that I’m seriously waiting to find out that it turns us all into spider mutants or something, because even if I found out I’ll turn into a spider when I’m 60, I’d still take it. It’s that fuckin’ amazing.

Absolutely batshit that they’ve invented a drug so good, almost everybody wants to be on it.

3 to 4 hours of focus on anything, every single day is so unthinkable to me I can’t even.

Even when I take my ADHD meds I don’t get those kind of numbers! Jesus. Maybe don’t feel like your existence needs to be justified by constant, sustained effort that can be measured? Sounds really stressful.

You really, really, really need to see women as people-who-might-be-friends, and not exclusively as fuck objects.

Yeah, but they’re also refugees. They probably have their own culture and lingo, and even if they didn’t, I support making them comfortable until they’re naturalized.

The subreddit for r/GenP was shut down, and their users were being directed here.

That’s what this post says anyway.

I hadn’t heard of genp until that post, but since they’re pirates, they’re welcome on dbzer0, the instance for pirates and anarchists.

Big same. Hope we run into each other again ♥

I don’t think that you and I are entirely in agreement here, however. When I say that we need to fight back against this as furiously as we fight fascism, I absolutely condone the use of violence against fascism. It seeks to harm men, even the people brainwashed into supporting it, and it seeks to harm women, especially those who aren’t willing to be subjugated. The paradox of tolerance is the only reason it’s been allowed to go as far as it has gone. I’m not seeing a peaceful way out of it.

ETA: For the record, we’re on the same side, and I love that for us! And I’ve upvoted you. I used to believe that violence was never, ever the answer, even the language of violence. But at this point… I don’t think I can afford to hold that point of view any more.
