    Where are you getting that people who survive are happy? Happy immediately or over time eventually they’re glad? What about all the people who have multiple attempts? Maybe some are jolted out of their mindset when suicide intervention happens, sure, but how many are just trying to get out of psychiatric care/ suicide watch by agreeing they’re happy now. Also maybe people who don’t succeed are half assing the attempt and of course are happy in the end it didn’t work out. Idk. As someone who attempted this line always rings untrue to me.





  • Disney is great with both. Fun as an adult, but more fun to see magic through a kid’s eyes. Probably not somewhere you’d want to be regardless if kids annoy you though.

    I wouldn’t want to go to the beach with any ol kid, but I felt practically high bringing my kid there the other day. The ocean has never felt so magnetic, and I’ve never wanted to stand in the sand and do nothing for as long. As an adult it’s cool to see the little clams burrow down in the turf for a minute. With a kid, it’s mesmerizing for twenty. Things hit different with someone experiencing a concept for the first time. It’s cool to be around.


  • You said being alone with someone implies distrust. I’m saying it doesn’t and it depends on your biases. Being alone with an Australian according to my biases implies you’re trying to be alone with them to maybe ask them out and you’re nervous.

    Being honest with yourself about your initial thoughts on these things is the first step to stamping out your inherent bias. Recognizing the thoughts and pondering the experiences and possibly propaganda that led to them is important.

    Pretending you’re above having an implicit bias is naive and dangerous.

    I am agreeing with you that a machine should not give out different answers based on untrue and often hurtful human bias.

    I mean good to make cars less dangerous but doesn’t this disproportionately hurt the poor? Like well off people have newer cars, and can afford to fix any code violations, but broke people are just trying to get to work. If I had lost my janky car when I was just starting out, I wouldn’t have been able to ever save up for a nicer safer car. Now I’m broke as fuck again and I hope my car would pass but it’s getting older.



  • Dragon quest builders is like linear / story mode Minecraft. And there’s Dragon quest builders 2. I’ve never played dragon quest but I freakin love builders. For me it’s far less stressful than Minecraft because I’m not having to be creative to figure out what i want to do. There’s a story line that I can choose to participate in, and I can creatively build whatever I want alongside the tasks and quests. Best of both worlds.

    Also blockheads was like a 2D knockoff of Minecraft (so physicality linear. No plot) I loved it so much, and if you kept going right you’d eventually hit the equator, the south pole, the equator, the north pole and then your original spawn point again. It was amazing







  • Yeah and also with evidence of experiments done on people (Tuskeegee experiments) and then downright negligence and cover ups done for greed (opioid crisis), add that to poor treatment for Dr’s convenience or due to their willful ignorance (lots of women’s medicine, birth practices, no numbing for painful procedures) then even the vaccine crazies have valid skepticism.

    I believe in vaccines completely, but it’s hard to argue with an anti vaxxer that the pharmaceutical corporations have their best interests at heart. They don’t.

    Fully agree with the fucked timeline and honestly agreeing with ignorance is bliss. I just wanna take the blue pill and go back to sleep. I want to be happy and trust my government like a dummy.


  • Even if this is true, toddlers actually need to eat many times a day. My kid eats extremely clean at home, but if I ever want to leave the house, it’s tough to feed them cleanly without access to a refrigerator and stove. You can make your baby a puree from whole foods, but you’ve got a very short window to eat it once it’s out of the fridge.

    Tough enough for me that it made me just stay home and isolate which in fact was worse for me and the toddler than just accepting that we were going to bring a store bought, shelf stable container of pureed green beans with us to be able to leave the house.

    It gets easier when your kid has enough teeth to trust them to chew an almond, but not by much. People are just doing their best.
