  • What I will say is that Depression is like your brain catching the flu. Just like if you caught the flu you wouldn’t be able to do what you need to do. When your brain has the flu it can’t do what it needs to do. Part of what your brain needs to do is to rationally assess the situation you are in. If your brain has the flu it can’t do that. So things like punching your own tickets seem like a good idea, when rationally it often isn’t the case.

    Just like getting over the flu, the brain needs to rest to recover.

    Both people who have a good life and a bad life get depressed. The problem the meme is pointing out is the people who have a bad life will not only have a harder time getting the ability to rest their brain, but also people, for no rational reason, assume the worst of people with bad lives. And assume they’re just faking their depression or something. They’re not, depression affects everyone. It’s just easier to get it and harder to get rid of it if you have a bad life.



  • I have no problem with euthanasia being a human right, as long as there is some legal framework around it to prevent bad things from happening. I have a couple of scenarios in my mind where I would probably use it. Also, if you decide rationally outside of depression that it is time for you to choose it, I respect that.

    My only issue was the whole, and I am paraphrasing here, “Autism dooms you to a life of suffering and there is nothing you can do about it”.


  • Then your statement is just incorrect. Most autistic people find a way to improve their life experience. Even if it just learning about a new train engine. But also they can learn how to work with their symptoms to generally improve their lives.

    Yeah, life is hard, but that’s no reason to miss represent the facts to paint punching your own ticket as a good idea to a larger group of people.

    Obviously, I don’t know your personal situation, so you will have to make your own call.

    But it sounds like you are depressed, I would seek help.


  • Two things.

    1. Your original statement was that they were ignoring it, not that they were contributing to it. They are definitely not ignoring it. They have less ability to ignore it that any previous generation.

    2. Their consumption of electronics is the result of how they were brought up. Not that they have some kind of suicidal death wish. If you were in their generation you would be doing the same thing. As would I.

    Yes officer this troll right here.

    Edit: After a long painful discussion (My fault, sorry Moon), The wording of this post implies what would you put in your own personal starter pack. Not a starter pack for everyone (witch was how I interpreted it). Moon is not a troll. I don’t think they deserve the hate they are getting. This was all my bad. I am sorry.





  • Wait, I think I see what you are getting at. Ok, so when I said:

    this thread was initially about how homelessness is the same thing as being single.

    This triggered you because you because it wasn’t 100% accurate. It should have been something more like this.

    this thread was initially about how homelessness is an analogy for being single.

    Ok, yeah, my wording wasn’t 100% clear there. Sorry for the mistake on my part.

    Either way it still is a bad analogy.







  • Do you go on the internet often? All posts are like this. All posts generalize. All posts have a long list of implicit exceptions that are not stated.

    Would you get upset about a post that says having bad spelling is a skill issue that could be fixed with practice, even though you appear not to have a skill issue with spelling?

    If your answer is yes, then you should get off the internet, it is literally doing damage to you. You are literally jumping in front of bullets that are not meant for you.
