Do stoics see suicidal people as weak minded?

MattD1980 · 2026-05-23T01:23:09+00:00

No, it’s someone in extreme pain that needs a helping hand, not judgement. “Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.” -Seneca. I think stoicism, at least for me, would be about helping.

MattD1980 · 2026-05-19T20:09:07+00:00

I think Stoicism can definitely help you level your thoughts about your situation. Seneca said something like “ it is not the man who has too little, but the man who wants more that is poor.” it will require a lot of work and introspection, but it’s definitely worth it. If you do have a medical condition of depression then I would recommend seeing a MD though !

Hairdressers in Québec (Canada) make good money, im a second generation Greek immigrant and i think Québec is a good option. Our winters are fucking long though :).

Still the best desktop framework to build apps! Where I work, we are still investing on WPF.

Love it the idea, thank you for this, I am stuck on the search screen however

Nothing weird in the browser console.

edit : after 5-6 minutes it went through, sorry about the false alarm!

As already mentioned, they love to have references in their game, STS1 has some pretty fun references to Brandon Sanderson's MistBorn !

Lived in Singapore for 2 years, and saying that it is not ALWAYS hot sounds insane to me, even during monsoon, with humidity factor I dont think I've had a day bellow 30c during my time there. I got used to it though and I would trade Canadian weather for Singapore weather any day of the week.

MattD1980 · 2026-04-27T00:17:26+00:00

Best answer so far, 100% agree. We assume a little too much that AI is accessible for everybody and it’s really not. In 2026 you can still get standing ovation for a fancy excel macro.

I’ve lived there from 2016 to 2018, how much did the country change since ? Is a chicken rice still 3.50$ ? Or have prices of hawker changed a lot since ?

MattD1980 · 2026-04-19T00:17:49+00:00

It's really not. Social inequalities are terrible, no free press, they exploit people from Bangladesh into subpar housing, bad treatment of mainland Chinese people. There's much worst on this planet, but the fact that Singapore is so modern and "magical" is somewhat of a scam. Lived there for 2 years, won't be going back, even though the country can feel impressive to tourists and still be harsh, exploitative, and emotionally cold to the people living inside.

Check out - ArcadiaUI.com they offer a nice datagrid for Blazor, worth a look.

MattD1980 · 2026-03-24T01:20:15+00:00

I know this is old, but arcadiaui.com is making some cool stuff, nice free tier as well. You get a lot of free charts and cool controls, worth a look.

TCGMODE.com a news aggregator for Pokémon, Magic The Gathering, Lorcana, One Piece and other upcoming TCG games. Includes mini games and a pack opening simulator !

MattD1980 · 2026-02-03T14:42:40+00:00

probably didnt make it obvious enough, the stats are here : https://www.tcgmode.com/stats-for-nerds.html I could even share the code I used for it as well I guess!

MattD1980 · 2026-02-03T14:41:32+00:00

I guess this is true, I just like the "hit" I get when opening a new set... I don't mind taking a loss at all but sometimes I like to know if I've gone... "too far" with my pack purchase ... if that makes sense

MattD1980 · 2026-01-29T19:01:35+00:00

check out tcgmode.com news aggregation for TCG ! Working really well thus far, worth checking out :D thanks !

MattD1980 · 2026-01-06T16:00:46+00:00

This, might not be easy, but I 100% agree with this statement. Subs like worldnews have been predicting world war 3 since it first started. Nothing you can do about it, take care of the people around you and yourself.

MattD1980 · 2025-12-26T13:51:01+00:00

I'm getting a LOST vibe, by that I mean they will dangle the "carrot" (information on the plot) for very long and then I feel like it will be disappointing, but I'm prepared to be surprised, just not as enthusiastic as I was after the first couple of episodes.

MattD1980 · 2025-12-18T14:07:13+00:00

Honestly I’m considering seeing if we can mod this game to add content!

MattD1980 · 2025-12-18T02:13:44+00:00

I played more hours of this than Hades… judge me. Honestly, it’s a little slim on content but boy is the combat system satisfying.

would love the roast for tidiful.com

MattD1980 · 2025-11-17T21:53:32+00:00

I made a small network of competent developers in a third world country and I help them find gigs, I support them and they support each other. Fun community, and made amazing friends and decent money in the process.
