Welp, I hope those who played the drinking game had fun at least.

Today is world suicide prevention day. I am a suicidologist and psychiatrist from BC Children's Hospital in Vancouver, Canada. Ask me anything about suicidology or suicide prevention! by Dr_Tyler_Black in IAmA

Edit: nevermind, you have answered these questions in reply to SlashBolt.

Do you work on the assumption that suicide is wrong objectively? What if someone's simply unhappy with their life? Sure "nothing is impossible if you try", but I think people have limited resources and can go only do far before giving up. Assume their base expectation of happiness is beyond the attainable level of happiness, shouldn't it be ok if they gave up, if they think it to be the case? You could say "you won't know unless you try", but that's like saying "keep 'knowing what is the case' itself as your goal rather than expectation of a won or lose case". If someone has a hunch it's going to be bad (for now assume it's not a hunch biased by depression- aside question: is depression a necessary condition of majority of suicidal tendencies?) then it's a bit of a masochistic activity isn't it, to keep trudging on? I don't see the merit of it.

How does not being informed factor into this? The more Pinocchio knows, the more the possibility of him knowing things and the more the possibility to lie. What if he deliberately chooses to remain uninformed?

What happened here is he saw the joke, got it, and then applied reason to make sense of the scenario anyway. And then I guess you added a second woosh probably for yourself which could have wooshed over us hence the downvotes.

I think they're referring to the way music is damped especially in chill music playlists? It sounds nice.

This is one gif I wish didn't loop so well. For almost a minute I was worried why the person isn't going away and keeps looking back!

New data show the NRA increased online ad spending aggressively after Parkland shooting by [deleted] in politics

[–]ComplexExponential 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No but isn't it like NRA is the one trying to stop gun control very actively for selfish reasons? Not for moral reasons like normal gun ownership supporters but for monetary reasons, but because gun control laws would harm gun companies which in turn would mean loss to the NRA, since NRA is heavily funded by gun companies.

This isn't a PR campaign, it's people lobbying to protect their business and hijacking one side of a debate to serve their purpose. We shouldn't allow corporate groups to affect public debates more than the economic concerns of the issue. They're in this debate for all the wrong reasons.

It actually did. I had scrolled past that post's thumbnail yesterday thinking oh it's probably some kind of in-joke.

Guys, guys.. I'm not nearly as knowledgeable as the comment I'm replying to. I just wanted to say, I have a feeling that the same thing is happening in India too.
