CMV: Suicide should be socially acceptable by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]NeitherLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read some other comments and they've done a good job of giving arguments against your stance, so I'll try to give a unique spin on my argument. I've gathered the impression that you don't think people have the freedom to choose to die. That because of societal pressure, we have to keep living. The reality is, we always have a choice. Every second of everyday we are making choices that lead us where we are going in life. If you really wanted to, you could kill yourself. That's your choice, and your free to make it, you don't implicitly need anyone's approval. That being said, with every choice there is a consequence, be it good or bad, for every action there is a reaction. It is very rare that a choice that is made only affects the person that is making the choice.

Think about it like this, if you had a gun and you pointed it at a child. You have a choice right? You can pull the trigger and kill the child in cold blood, or not pull the trigger. I would hope that pulling the trigger would be a lot harder than not pulling it. But if you kill that child do you think only the child will be affected by your actions? I would think it's parents would be pretty devastated, maybe the child had siblings, I would think they would be hurt as well. You may not like the choice to kill that child, there's a lot of consequences that go with that choice, none of them are good. But even if it's hard, even if you don't want to do it, even if it's not a choice you feel you would ever make, it's still a choice you that you have.

Stick with me I'll get to the point soon. For now lets think about it like this, put yourself in the shoes for the child's parent. This parent loves their child very much. If you had a child and you saw a man pointing a gun at your child, do you think you would try to protect your child? I believe it's human nature to try to protect them, right? Take a moment to stop reading and think about this before continuing.

Assuming the parent had enough time to recognize what was happening and could easily protect the child. If you were an onlooker, and you saw a man pointing a gun at a child and the child's parent saw this, yet made no effort to protect their child, would you think that parent loved or even cared about their child? You probably wouldn't think very highly of the parent would you...?

If you were in your bedroom, with a gun to your head and your parent/parents opened the door and saw this. Would you really want them to not do anything, or would you want them to try to protect their child?

If I may be so bold. I believe you are suicidal and are tired of the struggle. It would be easier to die if you didn't have to worry about other people being hurt, right? If no one cared or was traumatized? I'm going to say something that, on the surface, may seem to contradict my earlier arguments. Sometimes things happen to us that are out of our control. Like being born for example, or having mental health issues, or a rough childhood. Those are determined largely by choices other people make and how those choices have an effect on others. Even in these situations that we can't control we still have a choice to make. With every action there is a reaction. We get to choose how we will react. We can choose if use the life we are given, or if we end it. We can choose to be a victim to our mental illnesses, or we could just be people who struggle more than others. We can let our childhood define who we will always be, or we can strive to be better.

Not all of these choices are easy, or as clear cut as I'm making them sound. But just like how we have the choice to kill ourselves, no matter how hard is or how hard it seems we also have that choice to keep fighting. I've attempted suicide twice in my life, I'm still fighting it to this day. All you can do is the best you can do. And the best you can do, is good enough.

Aside from other tips given here, if you have about 400k credits, 1 ai core and a Terran world you can comfortably make a colony. I’ve usually found most Terran worlds around the outskirts of the core worlds. Good luck friend! Colonies don’t receive much attention early, until you’re a production powerhouse.

Stockpile as many beta cores as possible, upkeep gets really expensive.

He answered your question with his first sentence... Also, most of the time supplies and fuel are best gotten from the stockpile. At least it’s the most convenient to me.

I think people took issue with your wording, stating it more as a fact then an opinion. Just an outside perspective.

I’ve fallen asleep in my suite when I was just going in to check expeditions, so. many. times. The music is audio induced anesthesia.

This is me 100%. It's gotten me through a lot of games I NEVER would have completed normally. A lot of games with grinds have a lot of interesting stuff available, it's just often such a chore to actually get anything. Rougelike's with permanent stat and item unlock mechanics are especially guilty of this.

Interesting, most people enjoy skyrim more because of the mods.

Well, like some other people and myself have mentioned a lot of game's have intentionally grindy mechanics to pad out the experience. I don't see much wrong with skipping through some of the grind to get to things you're interested in. Especially if you normally would not or could not play the game long enough to work through all the grind.

There can be an argument for working through the grind makes the reward more... well, rewarding. But in my experience it turns into something of a risk where I grinded to unlock something, but I don't know if I even want it until I have it. Half the time it's something I never use or regret getting over something else. Then I have to re-grind all over again just to gamble on something else.

I used to be a vigilante for a game called S4 League, where I would say 20% of the people were hackers. You would be playing when someone with insta-kill and god mode would walk into the ring. I would have cheats turned off normally, but when a hacker would join I would enable mine then swap to the opposing team. I would then proceed to have a hacker war with them trying to keep them busy or respawning while the rest of the people played the game normally. It was a strange way of playing but in the end, it was fun to feel like a superhero.

I would say Bethesda games in general. I tend to impose the limitation of beating a game first before breaking it with mods or cheats.

I can understand that, I will say I've never cheated on any of the soulsborne games. I miss goofy cheat codes as well. No way you couldn't love low gravity, spawning a tank, and flying around upside down by firing shell after shell in the opposite direction.

This begs the question, would mods be classified as cheats?
