2017-06-16 at 12:50 AM UTC in In all seriousness though...I agree, but suicidal depression completely fucks you up mentally. It radically alters the way you feel and perceive the world, life, and the symptoms can make it incredibly difficult to break out of it. The profound sense of isolation and lack of meaning, anhedonia, extremely low energy, futility and inefficacy.
HTS is in a state of severe mental illness and nothing anyone has said is going to make him snap out of it. There probably isn't anything you could say to him. He's either eventually going to begin changing his views on life and slowly start taking the steps to recover, which can take a very long time, or he won't.
Unfortunately there really isn't any point in dwelling on this, although simply showing that there are many people who care and want to help him, are giving him advice, even if it's useless, can certainly be helpful. -

Originally posted by Captain Falcon It is easy to break the cycle, just don't be a faggot and recognise that the reason you're depressed is because you're being a faggot.
That isn't true at all. Some people can develop severe depression regardless of their circumstances in life and their potential. Biological depression genuinely exists, and some are naturally predisposed to it.
Did you know that the suicide rate for the transgendered is around 29x the general population, with the life expectancy being far lower? For autism, even autistic children attempt suicide at a similar rate, and for adults with Asperger's (such as me) the rate of suicidal thoughts is about 10x higher, even higher than among those with psychosis (IIRC about 66% of aspies report having had serious thoughts or plans for suicide, compared with 58% for those with psychosis) and the life expectancy is 12 years lower.
You can have genetic differences/defects, neurological disorders/defects, something biologically wrong with you that leads to this. Your brain can suffer from afflictions just like any other part of the body.
Would you tell someone with bipolar disorder, like 1337, to just snap out of it, will or think their way of their natural depressive cycles? Do you think you would be just as happy and successful if you were literally autistic? Some people are simply unfortunate. This is the nature of reality, whenever someone brings life into this world they're essentially playing genetic russian roulette, and some children lose the game through no fault of their own, because there may not currently be effective treatments for their condition, or due to how terrible mental healthcare systems tend to be, not receiving adequate help, effective medication (fuck SSRIs). -

It absolutely does. Doesn't it feel at least mildly rewarding, or SOMETHING?
People like us Lucy, when we are depressed we convince ourselves that it HAS to be that way, that even if we wanted to do better, we can't, which keeps us in this circle of depression.
I know you know what I mean too. It's an excuse, just as much as it is a debilitating illness. It fucking sucks, I know. Trust me, I know. We need to break the cycle. Once we can break the cycle it is amazing the things we can see that were holding us back. -

2017-06-14 at 11:27 AM UTC in Knife CollectionSorry in advance, didn't realise how bad the lighting was.
A few of you seemed interested so I took a bunch of photos of my collection. I've been going for a few years now, going to need to buy a new case...
Keep in mind I like to modify stuff extensively and don't really think about resale - their condition tends to reflect that.

2017-06-14 at 2:54 AM UTC in I kinda think adults dieing is sadder than young children dieing.Fair point.
It can obviously be argued that it's sadder for the kid because they had much more life ahead od them- at least the adult get to experience a bunch of years.
It can also be argued that life is a never ending shit show that continually gets worse and the sooner we are put out of our misery the better.
I think seeing a kid dying is pretty sad, mostly because of their 'innocence.'
Maybe that's why I'd rather see humans die than a lot of animals. I would rather watch 1000 beheadings of humans than one single beheading of a kitty bitty. -
2017-06-13 at 9:07 PM UTC in Adam and EveThis is completely irrelevant to this thread but I remember when my ex-gf's brother was murdered and the house was burnt to a crisp after the fact...their mother was such a hateful worthless hypocritical cunt but somehow despite all of this thought she was one of those chosen God's people...
So being the alcoholic and vengeful dick I was at the time I simply looked at their mother with the brightest smile I could muster and asked "Where is your God?*chuckles* "Where is your God?" -

2017-06-12 at 4:22 AM UTC in I got my mail-order kid todayFuck going outside. What if he's the kind that wants to go into STEM/the hard sciences? You'd literally be crippling him. He could find a passion for computers, or at the very least they could help him attain knowledge by having access to all of mankind's information. Lanny grew up spending most of his time indoors despite the beautiful environment he had available, spending most of his time in front of a computer or playing video games, and he's probably the most well adjusted and successful member here; which is pretty sad and not much of a competition to be fair. He's only 23 and making 100K+ in the financial sector of SF, working in the compsci field, which he majored in. The state also payed for most of his schooling, so he doesn't have debt. He also has about 300K in a low fee S&P index fund. Not only that, but when he was in middle school they gave him an assignment where they had to write about what they wanted to do after school and he wrote about wanting to travel, but they interpreted it as him wanting to be a bum/vagrant, so they put him in a school in southern california for troubled children, heavily minority and filled with gang members and other fuckups. The curriculum technically didn't even qualify for a 4 year university, but despite his disadvantages he scored high enough on the SAT to get into SFSU and have a state grant pay for it.
And now that gay marriage is legal in all parts of the United States, this lucky bachelor could be your's, and Tommy's new (2nd) dad!
Abandoning the negative aspects of Russian culture and becoming a libertarian (best people) is great, but as a libertarian you should understand the desire for freedom. I could not stand having my freedom restricted when I was with my parents. Let him do what he wants, within reason. -
2017-06-12 at 4:10 AM UTC in I got my mail-order kid todayI grew up without TV and turned out just fine. While minimal numbers of hours watched hasn't been shown to reduce academic performance, neither does no TV at all. Besides, there's something to be said for having to go outside and find something to do, taking the time to learn a hobby, doing chores, or just hanging out with some toys in his room. I've already gotten him some cool stuff like bins of army men, train tracks, large blocks, etc. He's totally set. There's simply no need for TV.
And fuck you. Russian culture rules. I've discarded the shitty parts and become a libertarian, so there's nothing to worry about. I plan on teaching him Russian actually, because young kids have an easier time picking up languages, and it'll be a great skill for him to have. -
2017-06-12 at 3:51 AM UTC in I got my mail-order kid todayLet him watch a bit of TV as long as it's good. IIRC there's actually no correlation between hours watched and school performance, it's largely driven by IQ and personality traits.
Every child should have access to good anime. I would have been extremely resentful toward my parents if they hadn't let me watch TV or use computers (IIRC most of the time I used them for educational games anyway, and they were great at that, they made learning fun).
Don't raise him the Russian way. Based on outcomes of your country, how it turned out, it clearly doesn't work. Your culture is trash, you're in America now and Tommy is a fucking American. -

Originally posted by Malice Man, fuck this, I am not reading it.
nobody is forcing you. It's interesting that rather than decide to yourself you don't desire to read this particular thread and simply moving on to another one, you have announce that you are not going to read it. Not trying to make fun of you or anything or be a smartass. I just found it kind of funny that you thought it would be worth commenting in a thread "I am Not Reading It" rather than just not reading it and moving on. -
