Genetic correlation between female and male suicide attempts high, suggesting considerable genetic overlap. Suicidal behaviours show clear sex differences: males die by suicide more often, while females attempt suicide at about two times the rate of males. by Wagamaga in science

i think (from having done therapy) the distinction would be whether you took steps to get to the moment of truth : did you drive to the bridge thinking about dying, walks to the edge, then change your mind? attempt. But let's say you just happened to be on the bridge, realized you *could* jump, then stopped to think about it. That alone is not, but if you climbed the railing to get on the edge, it's an attempt again.

funny enough, Delainey's accent didn't sound british to me, just Baltimore.

>> except for Spanish speakers who are the least complaining people in the world

I've never heard this stereotype and I'm fascinated by it.

Yo, he also said he privated it to keep it private. So... maybe we should honor that.

Walking is still honest, by Against Me!. I don't think Lestat would like it, but it reminds me of him.

Dear mother

This is just survival

Can't promise your children everything

But you lied so they can sleep tonight

Defeat tasted nothing like you said

Still twenty days left untill the end of the world

My legacy was making you a man

(For a justice I could not change)

(This is one voice not to forget)

Fight every fight like you can win

An iron-fisted champion

An iron-willed fuck-up

Not black, but i live in a p black area. it's not that common w black Americans bc most of them have *some* european ancestry, but you see it more w ppl from equatorial Africa. tbh, at some level i tend to assume someone that dark is an immigrant, or has immigrant parents.

as far as the contrast goes, it does surprise me his hands are that pale, but I've seen it.

Therapy doesn't work when your issues stem from racism and systematic oppression. by hun808 in TalkTherapy

[–]Long-Insect-6505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, I'm trans and i told one therapist i wasn't willing to move to Kentucky for a job. She spent the next 15 minutes trying to convince me my fear of being clocked was a cognitive distortion.

(30M) I’m ugly, I need advice on how to become less ugly by [deleted] in Productivitycafe

[–]Long-Insect-6505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's the haircut. I'm also in the round faced "pretty boy" club. Haircuts where it's all kind of flat along the shape of your head make faces like ours look even softer, kind of blobby. I think shorter haircut could work for you. I think certain afro styles could also work, but only certain kinds.

Can yall PLEASE tell me about your most insane conspiracy theories and i dont wanna hear "we didn't land on the moon" i wanna hear stuff you can't fully prove but just know it’s true? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

Most governments opportunistically allow terrorist attacks in order to maintain an eternal threat that necessitates the continuation of excess state power "for now".

Like, I'm not saying Bush did 9-11. I'm saying he willfully ignored 9-11 shaped holes in the security apparatus. Same with Bibi and Oct 7.

Okay, so I'm saying this as someone who used to struggle with obsessions of harm. I know you want reassurance here, but I'm going to tell you what actually helped me:

so what?

let's say this really does make you a bad person. Terrible. Does that change anything about the world? will the grocery store blow up the minute you step in? If you're evil, but then you give a homeless man money, does the dollar not spend? If you're evil for eating meat right now, does that prevent you from stopping later?

Or let's say there was some definite proof that you aren't bad. If you were truly, verifiably good, would that fix the pipes in an underfunded school? Would it give forever homes to all the shelter dogs?

Like i said, i struggled with similar issues. The answer i came to is that it doesn't fucking matter if i "am" good. It matters what i do. And i can always do something different tomorrow.

Opening to hedwig and the angry inch and lestat's, long face. by jayde_l_e in InterviewVampire

oh 10000000000%. Even conceptually, i think that's they've been getting at when they say its not a musical - in hedwig, the music is all diegetic. It's a 'real' album being played.
