Wow you really went out of your way to yuck OPs yum.

YEA I’M GONNA CONTINUE TO USE PLATFORMS AND TOOLS THAT EXPLOIT MY PRIVACY AND INFO FOR MONETARY GAIN WITHOUT QUESTION BECAUSE I’M A GOOD LITTLE CONSUMER

sheep pretend to be wolves

Rich Nazi scum. You’d be surprised how often those words go together.

MANY WHELPS! LEFT SIDE!

What distro? What input device are you using?

Genuinely well said.

Big artists benefit too much from the system. People seem to give passes to the rich they like, but they’re all our enemies. No amount of good they could possibly do would offset the support and participation they provide to this machine of destruction.

Reading comprehension is truly a lost art…

Look, you can interpret what I said anyway you like, but regardless I’m correct. If a serial killer believes himself to be “good” and you believe him to be “bad” which one of you is correct? How about a man that wants so badly to murder everyone he meets but doesn’t ever do it? Is he a good man as long as he doesn’t act?

They do bad things. If a rabid dog attacks a child, killing it, is the dog bad? If a priest gives comfort to a dying man then molests a child is he good then bad? No he’s neither. The actions are good or bad; the individual is neither.

I didn’t say people didn’t do bad things and make bad choices. I’m sorry you’re not able to understand that.

There are no good or bad people.

Call me when EGM and GamePro mags are a thing again.

Because our governments are largely bought and paid for.

A lot of the hate GIMP gets is people coming from Photoshop expecting it to work like Photoshop. In fact that’s true for a lot of Adobe-like open source projects. That’s why “industry standards” are dangerous and really only exist to keep one company rich.

Ah yes… Lords of land… The greatest of leeches.

The end scares most people so much that logic gets thrown out the window.

The 50s happened.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. I appreciate it and your perspective. Logically I can understand and accept what you’re saying, but emotionally I’m not so lucky.

I’ve struggled with my mental health for most of my life anyway, but I lost my wife, 2 cats, FIL and everything I owned in a house fire that I, for whatever reason, walked away from last April. I’ve spent the last year trying to understand it, and the conclusion I’ve come to is death. No matter the highs or the lows, the recognition of the present or the expectation of better days, death seems to hold the most weight. I’m tired, you know? Not like a long day tired, but like my soul, if it exists, is tired.

I’m in therapy and have been for years, and I know the tricks pretty well. I have a cat and a few friends that for better or for worse guilt me into staying, but they don’t know this pain thankfully. We’re all going to die one day anyway so what’s it matter if I, 1 meaningless person out of 8 billion, goes early? That’s where I weigh the pros and cons.

I weigh the pros and cons of committing suicide every single day.
