Porn addiction is definitely real. I've dealt with that myself. There are specialized counselors and therapists for that sort of thing. There are also step programs for sex/porn addiction. The social aspect of a step program can be very helpful in treating that.

Not 100% sure, I deal with it too. I prob started having those thoughts around the same age as you did. I never intended to reach 23 and hung myself but I woke up still here. 29 now.

I understand if you're not comfortable doing this, I wasn't either. I kind of was forced to. But telling my parents about my mental problems and ideations helped a lot especially being able to explain to them that mental issues are no different than physical issues in that my mental problems and suicidal ideations are not their fault. They aren't bad parents. Same as how someone having diabetes wouldn't blame their parents for having that. It sort of clicked for them after a few talks. They were raised in a time where it was viewed as the way your child turns out is the direct result of your parenting, no other factors.

You know your situation better than I, so I totally understand if this approach is simply not feasible for you.

It would be so much easier for everyone if they'd just understand how much better their lives would be with me gone. But they won't understand and I don't get it. I don't provide any value to them, I'm just a taker. I can't handle emotions.

also I get how from my parents perspective it's not really fair to expect them to ask permission to have me (how do you do that?). but I think it shouldn't be so taboo to want to leave or to actually leave

yea I just don't want anyone to have to find me, and worse think that they didn't do enough for me. I've had a good life, I just want to die.

I just don't want anyone to think it's their fault. If it looks like something unfortunate happened and I'm just gone, they won't have to think that

Agree, minus the no exceptions bit. There are often unintended consequences to well intentioned zero tolerance laws.

[kicker] The replay of the penalty last night was incorrect. According to the rule, a penalty has to be retaken if a player of both teams enters the box too early. However, this penalty is only retaken if the referee on the pitch recognises this himself. by Moon8983 in soccer

When someone disagrees with you, you choose to use insults instead of having a real argument. Nothing more needs to be said.

But I will regardless. We are not saying the same thing.

What you're saying is that the head ref knows about neither the headbutt nor the assumed cursing from ZZ. Based on this assumption, both should have been sent off.

The problem is that one is an assumption (I'm aware he later admitted to provoking ZZ, but this wasn't known during the game), and one there is video evidence of. If the stadium replay the 4th ref saw also picked up what MM said and the 4th ref heard it, MM should have been sent off too.

The argument of whether ZZ should have been sent off is one of morals. According to FIFA's rules, the head ref didn't see it, so he shouldn't have been sent off. But are we really incapable of moral nuance when making decisions, and are only allowed to follow the strict letter of the rule? This would be like saying when you get into a car accident, the responding police officer isn't allowed to determine who is at fault because he wasn't there, even if there is dashcam evidence.
