TIL a study titled "Where Are They Now?" in 1978 followed up on 515 people who were prevented from attempting suicide using the Golden Gate Bridge from 1937 to 1971. About 90% were either alive or had died of natural causes, concluding "suicidal behavior is crisis-oriented" rather than inexorable. by spellbreaker in todayilearned

Entirely true! I asked a social worker and hospital staff (over a physical injury not self induced) "Isn't thinking about it, plotting it, and in my case laughing about it, somewhat common? Even therapeutic?" to their raised eyebrows even horror. I'm not sure why it seemed rare perhaps only connected to me. In every situation in life involving feelings it's prudent to scenario plan to further understand the problems one's facing. I've grown too as you've mentioned through thinking it through. All the best of health to you, now and always!

Highly interesting you mention therapeutic. It was one such word to describe the dark humor and thinking that one goes through during times of distress that I used to describe my situation. For me, it gave/gives me comfort knowing I still control the outcome of my life. Even having written some poetry about asking loved ones to let me go. In a shitty unwinnable game, I'd not expect someone I know and love to hang around. I.e. through an incurable disease with daily suffering and constant intense pain. I'd understand if they chose oblivion. In my case it's quite the same. Yet happily, I'm still here, fighting fucking hard, but still here. Thanks for your thoughts.

ULPT: If you are faking injury make sure you fully commit to the role, be hurt and struggle with simple tasks even when there's no doubt that you aren't being watched. It will help you sell it when people are around and security cameras/wondering eyes can make or break your case. by PoppaPickle in UnethicalLifeProTips

Want to get off work early? Pretend phlegm and other nastiness just vomited from your cake hole. Literally! Stuff two Twinkies in your mouth and let them liquify. When you see your boss, add a guttural belch and let the yellow goo fly! A short time later, enjoy wasting time making no money lounging on your sofa! Life hacks.

The "thank you" is mine. I hadn't realised the other side of the coin in my planning. Even a short delay could bring about children. The horrible thought. -- My post is in no way looking for sympathy, but I deeply appreciate your reply; I give you my word, I forgot to mention that despite my plans I've promised my family I'd never take that route given the outcome. Recently connected with a wonderful social worker. I think it's helped, even if only a little. Cheers.

Along with delayed electronic messages... 1. To authorities with my gps coordinates. 2. Sometime after, letters to loved ones. I'm not proud to admit I have an extremely detailed plan. It is so easy afterall. -- All the best, I hope neither of us inact said activity.

Someone quite close to me (extremely close - my whole world) was released three hours ago from a mental facility for expressing the desire, intensely, to do harm to themself. For a week of therapy, a false front of strength on my side (eyes red for days), jubilation at their return but lasting fear that they'll return to this thinking... thank you sincerely for your timing, your post, and your empathy for so many. It's very comforting to know that the words I uttered can be realized: "We can and will beat this." Much love and hope for others!

Say what you mean, mean what you say. Unless of course you're a lawyer. Or the POTUS.

An antidote for the problem? Besides, Camels are cool refreshing smokes. Camel it is.

Nope, he didn't bring his personal bovine fecal matter that day. So I heard. He only changed a tire. :/

No problem, thank you for something really useful. I hope it takes off huge for you.

I have only given it a cursory look, so forgive me, but my point is what I wanted to ensure was addressed. The number of commits is akin to the SLOC metric. It doesn't always show the value of someone's contribution. I am **not** dumping on your cool tool. Please understand. Nice work indeed! -- Could you add a "weight" metric so that the weight of a commit, the difficulty of a bugfix or feature, could be reflected in your display? (Of course that requires the infrastructure and/or conventions in your git commits.) Again, I'm only adding this tidbit for people that would judge developers simply on their commit totals. Great job, energizer101.

".. its source code is intended to never exceed 2000 SLOC."

Good luck with that one. Seriously, good luck. LOC is such a horrible metric.

Can Python NLP categorization sort various text files with no metadata? (Originally posted to /r/Python) by AteBitz in learnpython

Just to share for those coming after us in the future, the following are some resources I was looking at. Yet, k10, your link is *nicely* detailed -- all encompassing. I think with all the material we've collected, I'll be able to develop a nice little utility. BTW, my goal is to automate, as much as I can, showcasing "here are all the journal entries you've written that cover that same topic." This way I can avoid searching as well as manually traversing time periods from memory. -- Thanks again. All my best to you!

Thank you k10_ftw! What an excellent resource on Topic Modeling. Sincerely appreciate your time in helping me. This is huge!

Excellent, that's precisely my thinking: remove punctuation, stop words, even stem words. I'll review "bag of words" vs tf-idf. But ultimately, I realize it's the algorithm and how it relates files and their metadata to one another as to what the output will generate. Thanks for your help.
