  • My friends were the people injecting glow sticks… Arguably a pretty stupid way to die but this happened at an underage night club in the 00s. My friends who died were homeless children with abusive drug addicted families who either ran from the absolute failure of a foster care system that we have here, or just went straight to the streets knowing that they would end up in a worse situation if they were to seek help. Literally nowhere to go and willing to risk death for a little bit of approval.

    My friends absolutely knew what they were doing was dangerous and could kill them… We all had known someone who died from doing exactly that… But when you’ve lived a life completely devoid of anything that resembles support the smallest positive reactions are like concentrated heroin.

    It was fucked up seeing these kids who’s desperate attempt to just be liked being turned into an entertainment piece. It’s been a while but if I remember correctly the show left out that the people were minors so they could embellish on how dumb of a way to die it was… Or that children were being allowed to run around in a nightclub with glowing veins…

    The whole thing was fucked, I never watched the show again. I realized that the whole thing is essentially just laughing at other people’s trauma and that’s not for me.






  • Yep I totally got confused about what’s going on here. I’ll edit my comment.

    I commented this to someone else but I guess I’ll put this here too…

    I was a bit tired when I commented and thought “well maybe that’s how they integrate videos” but I went to the YouTube link on the top and saw none of the spam and started complaining…

    I’m all up in arms trying to do my part in keeping Lemmy a good place, watching for bots and whatnot…










  • I feel like this is what I’ve been looking for. Ever since reddit was purchased by that Chinese propaganda firm it’s rapidly gone downhill.

    I knew I was inside an echo chamber. It was pretty plainly obvious. It just got so old with every single comment thread eventually devolving into politics. These last couple days I’ve felt pretty free to think, less stressed…

    I’ve just been happier overall without that constant reminder in app form that I should be hating someone and that I should fear my own neighbors and society as we know it is crumbling as we speak.

    The whole thing is garbage and I’m never going back.
