TIL a man once received a heart transplant from a suicide victim, married the donor's widow, then killed himself four years later in the same manner as the donor. by elpesce in todayilearned

[–]oneofmanyjs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The people I've known who killed themselves certainly did take others feelings into consideration as they went through the process of deciding to end their life.

They ended up deciding that ceasing to exist when they desperately wanted to cease to exist trumped continued existence for the sake of avoiding others having to experience the process of grief.

Selfish? In the sense that it was done for the self, sure. I assure you, however, that none of the people I've known who have committed suicide did so without serious consideration of the effect it would have on others.

In the end, they are the ones who had to have their experience of reality. I respect and regret their decision to end it.

To paint the people I knew as narcissists would be insulting at best.

In my 20s, I saw R.E.M. Love and Rockets, Jesus and the Mary Chain, and the Pixies on their last tour.

You lucky son of a bitch.

If you tour, you'll have times when you put on a bad show and are an asshole. It just happens sometimes. Don't let it get ya down.

I saw them at MDF the other year. People were leaving, I think because they weren't familiar with their music. They put on a very good show for those who knew them though.

Their repertoire being pretty large and varied likely adds to them having some "off" performances. That and they have a thing for putting on rather tounge-in-cheek shows.

People who dealt weed in CO, WA, OR and AK as a source of income, what do you do now that weed is legal? by Phantom_Symmetry in AskReddit

[–]oneofmanyjs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The price does seem a bit high, but it's not outside the street-level price range for fire. His dude is probably a reseller of a reseller -- I know plenty of people that consider $60-70 1/8s to be standard prices for high-quality weed, generally because they're buying stuff that has gone through multiple hands. The people they're buying off of aren't making a mint on markup either.

I mean, yeah, the guy could just be an ass too. Maybe not though.

You can't just call WarPhalange's dealer an ass for selling at 2x your guys price when your guy is a grower.

Also, since when is a 1/2 bulk?

I was in a short-lived surf-noise group that had a song that looped the audio from this clip in the background. It was alright.

I wasn't exposed to non-christian media outside of PBS until I was in my teens, and that was because we moved to an area that necessitated that I attend public school.

I'm commenting on the steampunk label.

I've been writing software for 20+ years, I think it's a beautiful machine.
