My Japanese landlady made smoothies for us.
Ah, the nostalgia. -
2019-05-22 at 3:17 AM UTC in Anyone else in Love with Afghanistan?I used to have an Afghani coworker (like, "F.O.B.", straight outta Afghanistan) who actually had a pretty interesting story about how him and a bunch of his siblings all jumped the border to a neighboring country (Iran, maybe? this was over 10 years ago that he told me all this) so that they could move to Canada.
Despite all the opium and pomegranates and multiple wives and all that, I can't help but factor in that this family risked their lives just to escape the place. -

You better cheque yourself before you wreque yourself. -
2019-05-22 at 1:29 AM UTC in Epic forum game, BLANK CHECKI used to actually play this game IRL.
Except instead of finding checks, I designed them and printed them myself (with a laser printer with magnetic ink cartridges, etc).

So it's just a piece of paper the size of a check with nothing printed on it??? -

Originally posted by WellHung Folks I just want a 100% sure fire way to off myself in a quick painless fashion… Is that too much to ask? What's 100% effective?
Okay, in the interest of harm reduction (because a botched suicide can do a lot more harm than a successful one), I am going to take your question seriously and offer some things I have thought of when in a similar state of mind.
BUT FIRST, you have to listen to me tell you why you shouldn't proceed with what you're thinking of doing.
While I'm not one of those brainwashed morons who believe that suicide is ABSOLUTELY NEVER a reasonable thing to do, I do believe that it should be a last... and I mean ABSOLUTELY LAST... resort.
Have you tried escaping modern life to live in a Buddhist monastery? How about escaping to the wilderness to try to get in touch with your evolutionary roots?
I'm also going to assume you've tried seeking professional help - both psychiatry (i.e. the medication route) and psychotherapy (i.e. the "talking therapies" - CBT, group therapy, and so on and so forth).
I'm also going to assume you've tried some basic troubleshooting to determine the ultimate source of why you feel the way you do. There are tons of different things to explore here - is it a substance (ab)use issue? Is it a social life issue? Is it loneliness? Is it a physical health issue? Etc, etc, etc...
Now, assuming you've literally exhausted all of the above areas (and, honestly, I would wager that you have not - at least not every last conceivable thing)...
Some of the ways I have considered offing myself include:
1. Combining MULTIPLE extremely fatal poisons. I would also probably take a heavy dose of heroin and some benzos so that at least my last moments of life are somewhat enjoyable.
2. Buying TWO high caliber hand guns, and shooting myself in the head from two different sides. It greatly decreases the chances of surviving with debilitating head wounds.
3. Jumping from an incredibly high point.
And, by the way, this brings me to another point...
I read somewhere that 100% of Golden Gate Bridge suicide attempt survivors regretted the decision on the way down.
If you take anything from this post, take that little bit of "trivia".
When it comes to the topic of suicide, it has been one of the most paradigm shifting things for me. -

Jeez man, you're getting more and more depressing.
The thing is, though, I kinda sometimes feel the same, so I get it.
But you need to find something that gives you drive and motivation... You need some kind of metaphorical "pot of gold at the end of the rainbow."
I'm working on trying to find that for myself right now, actually. -
2019-05-20 at 11:16 PM UTC in What prevalence of the forum has ASPD?
Originally posted by Sophie There's a misconception in how psychopath brains work. I read about a study recently where they MRI'd some psychopaths, had them look at some stuff that would stimulate empathy/sympathy in normal people. As you'd expect the parts of the brain related to empathy didn't light up, however, when these people were asked to try to feel empathy/sympathy and they were shown the images again, the parts of their brain normally associated with empathy and such did show activity.
This is interesting, but not entirely surprising to me.
I still remember this term paper I wrote like 10 years ago for my first psychology class (we were given a list of topics to choose from for our term papers). One of the topics was "should psychopaths be held accountable for their crimes under the law?". And there was actually some Scandinavian country that had hypothesized a granular "responsibility scale", rather than looking at it as a strictly binary matter like most judicial systems do (i.e. you either get life in prison or you walk out of the courtroom a free man, depending on whether or not you are found to be legally responsible for your actions, and there is absolutely no middle ground). I always found that kind of thing a bit extreme - regardless of which direction it takes.
But anyway, yeah, the main argument for legally punishing psychopaths for their crimes exactly as though they were not diagnosed as legitimate psychopaths is that they still know and understand the difference between right and wrong, even if it doesn't come totally naturally to them.
But simple intuition, as well as studies like the one you mention, all make me feel like it's more complex and thus needs a more complex solution (like a granular sentencing approach, where the pre-existing neurological condition is taken into account). -

2019-05-20 at 10:59 PM UTC in New Jersey millionaire to be sentenced for having sex with teen on autopiloted plane...And also, what were the exact latitude and longitude coordinates during which the copulation took place?
Which local laws were they bound by at the time?
Is that what that Tokyo Convention thing is all about? -
2019-05-20 at 10:56 PM UTC in New Jersey millionaire to be sentenced for having sex with teen on autopiloted plane...Wait, is he being charged for the reckless endangerment resulting from leaving the plane on autopilot while otherwise occupied, or for statutory rape?

2019-05-20 at 10:56 AM UTC in Huawei Cut Off From Intel, Google, BroadcomI feel like an absolute muppet for not exclusively buying rootable Android phones.
I can't even imagine buying a (Huawei) phone with such heavy restrictions built right in.
I wonder how complicated it would be to put your own custom OS on a cell phone? -

2019-05-20 at 10:36 AM UTC in What prevalence of the forum has ASPD?LOL, I read it as ASD at first (Autism Spectrum Disorder).
That being said, I stand by my 100%.
I think this site might just attract that statistically rare intersection of all ASPD and ASD individuals. -
2019-05-20 at 10:34 AM UTC in What prevalence of the forum has ASPD?100%.

2019-05-20 at 1:18 AM UTC in Post Excuses for Missing WorkI called up an escort service, and the woman they sent over brought a gun and forced me into a dark colored cargo van. Her and three masked burly men tied me up, blind-folded me, and tossed me in the back of the van.
They then drove for about ~20 minutes, which I estimated from the fact that four and a half songs played on the radio, and I assumed each song would be about 4 minutes long.
I was buried in a shallow dugout in an unknown location.
I remember hearing one of them on the phone asking for ransom money, but I'm pretty sure they mistook me for someone else. I have barely a penny to my name.
I managed to break myself free from the restraints, and, when I saw just the right opportunity, I seized it, and pounced towards one of the kidnappers.
I took his cell phone and used it to call 911, and the police brought me to the hospital, and began questioning me.
However, I recognized the last name the inquiring detective gave me... I had overheard that same name while in the back of the van.
I remained silent for the time being... But as soon as he left the room, I hopped out of the hospital bed and booked it for the rear exit. I made my way down the street a few blocks, and then hailed a cab, and asked the driver to take me to a police precinct the next town over.
Anyway, that's why I missed work today.
I'm still at said precinct figuring shit out.
I might miss a few more days.
Just sayin'.
