  • I can see where you’re potentially coming from.

    But I don’t think you comprehend how violent an act of suicide is in almost all cases.

    It takes an insane level of commitment to go through with that the first time, more so for the subsequent attempts.

    Also of the people who really aim to end it, succeed on the first try.

    I don’t know about you, but if given the choice, I probably wouldn’t be here. There’s nothing particularly wrong with me physically, I just don’t want to be here.

    Been the case over a decade ago. Pretty much back as long as I can remember. Still the case today.

    I do agree with the point that a humane way out will probably have a net positive impact in almost all cases. Especially if it comes with “here’s a list of things you should consider doing to lessen the impact on your family and significant other” or something of the sort. Needless to say, but should be entirely optional.

    I don’t think I agree with the “other treatments” mentality though. That just sounds like what the Americans are doing with their abortion clinics trying to emotionally blackmail people into not aborting their child by forcing you to listen to heartbeats and look at ultrasounds.










  • I still remember playing StarCraft 2 shortly after release on a 300$ laptop and it running perfectly well on medium settings.

    Looked amazing. Felt incredibly responsive. Polished. Optimized.

    Nowadays it’s RTX this, framegen that, need SSD or loading times are abysmal, oh and don’t forget that you need 40gb of storage and 32gb of ram for a 3 hour long walking simulator, how about you optimize your goddamn game instead? Don’t even get me started on price tags for these things.

    Software and game development is definitely a spectrum though, but holy shit is the ratio of sloppy releases so disproportionate that it’s hard to see it at times.


  • I’m not saying that’s not the case, but it has both hdmi and displayport, and it’s happening with both, had it on either one, alternating, both plugged in, nothing plugged in and then jamming either cable in there as stuff was powering on, I did eventually resign myself to having to yank out the power cable and plug it back in when it was misbehaving. Nowadays it’s just sitting in a corner, seldom used, should honestly toss it but it’s still sorta works, when it feels like it.
