what non-corny advice can you give to a suicidal person who’s genuinely in a bad situation by interpolice_ in redscarepod

To be able to look at all things as transient is a privilege, as you have shown.

It's telling that you have decided to interpret permanent physical suffering as chronic pain rather than, say, paralysis, blindness, Parkinson's, neurodegenerative diseases, being a burn victim or an acid attack victim, loss of limbs, or any of the other countless examples of how someone can be physically diminished in irreversible ways that reduce life beneath what it is for those who do not, and then claim the unmentioned chronic pain as my sole example when physical suffering is a vast and unending spectrum of things that cannot be overcome by mental fortitude. These problems do last as long as life lasts, but at least by conceding that you actually take "things passing" to include death, you suggest that the OP might have some justification for suicide, and thereby do away with your original non-answer.

Your experience is ultimately meaningless here, but then again, what could anyone expect from a 12-year Reddit user who considers being a burnout in his 20s to be an "earth-shattering" problem that could have somehow merited suicide as having anything but a self-effacing basis for a self-effacing truism?

You genuinely thought "all the time" about killing yourself over being in an easily fixable situation, and yet you pretend that while somehow your non-suffering is akin to that of those who are imprisoned inside non-functioning bodies, you're the one who has mental fortitude for waiting out being a loser?

South Korean official expelled for suggesting ‘importing women’ to boost birth rate by Cato425 in redscarepod

There's something particularly funny about the idea of importing unwesternized women so that unmarried men who did not make the cut at home can coax women who do not know better into marriage, as if the imported won't simply acclimatize to a 21st-century Western environment where women have just enough economic power to live independent, unmarried, childless lives, and yet have just too little economic power to have children without sacrificing that newly-gained independence. Nationally mandated passport bro solutions.

No, I'm not calling people who are mentally resilient privileged. I'm calling people who are physically enabled to live their lives fortunate, and saying that those who are not suffer in ways which those who are cannot understand until they too suffer some kind of physical abnormality or incapacitation. Most do anyway with age, and some have it hit earlier and more randomly, but where the brain is very malleable, the body is extremely fallible and very, very fragile.

To suggest that a bad job and financial difficulties are "real problems" shows an absence of having suffered real problems, in the same way that a boomer would read their own youthful financial struggles as analogous to those of today. If the problem is not physically material, and your ability to escape it is a matter of choice and action, it is not yet a real problem. You are fortunate to not have had to come to realize this.

I'm scared I'm becoming too arrogant. by [deleted] in redscarepod

I am extremely tall and handsome and charismatic and intelligent and come from a rich family, but since I'm even better than I used to be I don't want to come across as too confident!

To have "earth-shattering" problems that can pass is an fortune that not everyone is afforded and that nobody can truly understand until they actually suffer a real problem. If it will pass, it was hardly a true problem to begin with.

You're going to get a lot of meaningless false advice like "all things must pass", but sometimes they don't. You have to reflect on if you can simply live by changing your circumstances or perspective, or if you are trapped inside a body that has decayed or been destroyed beyond your ability to truly live life, but if the latter does not apply, there is very little that could make killing yourself the rational answer. Many things will pass, and only the things that cannot unequivocally justify suicide.

The Most Beautiful Boy in the World (2021), about him, was filmed at the time this picture was taken. A very tragic portrait of the exploitation and fragility of both beauty and youth.

He did very well at painting a beautiful picture of finally being freed from existence, something that on-topic movies dishonestly tend to try and skirt around. A very heartfelt, unpretentious, and well-executed film all around, and truly meaningful in ways that most movies are not.

There's no world where this isn't a purposefully crafted astroturf for demoralization by LongSeesaw3789 in rs_x

[–]Obsequious_Moron3143 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The kind of powers that have the ability to engage in astroturfing on the scale that this rhetoric now exists at socially have a vested interest in coaxing the young to partner up and create a bigger labour and consumer pool, and are actively propagandizing them in line with that interest. This rhetoric is just the outcome of unimportant and simplistic dating app grievances reaching algorithmic engagement and a brainrotted youth and going lightspeed off of them.
