Hindsight is 20/20, after all.

Exactly. I have a friend who was going through it, even considered offing herself, but in the end she kept going and came out on the other side better and more mature than ever.

It took years, but she’s now in a much better position, stable, and learned valuable life lessons.

She would say she was just surviving, but the desire to keep enduring takes strength, and to those of us who have never been tested like that, it is absolutely, 100% strength of character and will.

It’s because they dissolve within 5 minutes of use after poking them through the plastic lid.

I was gifted a metal collapsible one recently because of my bitching about it and it’s a better experience.

I guess, after an instant, all nerves responsible for pain are just vaporized by the lava so it would feel numb or like nothing at all.

I’m guessing he still feels quite dumb, though. Nothing will help that pain go away.

What phone or service is this? Not in the states right?

Oh wow I haven’t heard Ebaums in such a long time. So many good laughs on that site during my senior year and undergrad.

That’s pricey.

“Free Open Source Software”

I think.

Sync is the odd man out because even though it’s free to use, it’s ad driven, and then there’s a yearly subscription service for no ads.

Honestly, it’s a good app with a good developer. If supporting good work is your thing, I see no reason to use it free or with subscription. It supports him, and if you don’t like it…you always have FOSS apps which arent as polished but completely free.

FOSS apps are important because they’ll always be the standard of “acceptable” and alternative apps MUST be better if they want you to give up your hard earned time and money for it.

Just take a look at Reddit.

Anybody else hearing the words in that screechy voice?

Trying to hop on that ADHD train.

Randomly have green lights on my commute so I don’t have to slow down goddamnit.

Exactly, you can’t control when it happens. So hello spawning thousands of bills at the local swimming pool.

Bigger plot twist it applies too well and you use it once and go to jail.

They’ve really come a long way. The one near me has gaming rooms for computers now. Free DVD rental, there’s a tea lounge, etc.

Constantly reinventing themselves.

Amen to that

I think the trick is knowing that all of us are in it together and even the most ‘regular/typical’ of us have our demons.

Love and kindness, even a little bit to each individual, goes a long way to helping everyone.

At least it was quick.

Yeah, totally on purpose. This was a long time ago and mental health wasn’t taken as seriously as it is now. Today it would have been called PTSD and he would have gotten help had he been born 20 years later.

You know poison control hotlines? EMTs on the scene had to call them for advise. So if the local poison control center doesn’t know the answer right away, they have to call the next higher one which is like for the eastern half of the USA. They didn’t know either and had to call up to the one which was in charge of the whole country.

Poison control toxicologists move fast. They know alot and have alot of resources on hand in case they dont. I guess this was one of the first times they had ever heard of ingestion of chemicals from a fire extinguisher in the country.

By the time it got up to national level, which was only a few minutes, the guy was gone. Autopsy basically showed the dudes lung was stone. Everything down to alevoli was filled completely.

Damn right there are better ways. Must have been scary as hell for everyone.

On a serious note (tada), there was a suicide in my town with a fire extinguisher. Guy turned his lungs to stone instantly inhaling the contents.

But jazz is great.
