What is this? I don't get it.

I think neurodivergence is only part of it. As someone different, but not trans, who often dealt with discrimination for seeming obviously gay, part of the reason is that when dealing with people you can be nice and do everything right and be treated horribly because of being different, but computers have no bias. So if you do things right with computers, you win. Even with other subjects like math or science, there is some level of interacting with people who may be prejudiced that just isn't there when you spend 30 hours figuring out some new computer thing on your own. Also your interactions may be remote and involve more smart logical people. With math, usually some learning as to how to deal with hard problems needs to be done by interacting with people not via email or forums or lists. My point is I think some trans women could just as easily become great engineers or great mathematicians or grear car repair techs, but the nature of learning computers reducing disrespect.

This is the meme I needed. Thank you!

Grow up and get your collective heads out of your asses

I'll do no such thing!

Because religious people have criminalized dying by choice, especially with assistance, it is impossible to parse out impulsive attempts from those who have highly rational reasons for wanting to die.

The solution to this, and many other problems, is simple: ban all religions.

You're both wrong. I've seen the unicorn and it's purple. There is only way. Follow me to the true purple Unicorn or face his wrath.

We could change the laws and allow this.

I disagree, clinicallydepressedpoochie.

It would have. You made the right call to tell no one. I hope you are doing better and are happier.

Because there is no way to prove involuntary care makes suicide more likely (since those with a financial interest will always say the post-release suicides were hospitalized due to having worse mental health), the grifting of the downtrodden will continue.

I long for the day a genius statisitcian finds a way to prove what all involuntarily treated people already know.

Never call 988. Choose life or choose death, do not choose the additional 25 thousand dollar bill, degradation, trauma, and suffering that comes from 988. It's a trap and the only people who win are big pharma, psychiatric inpatient facility investors or owners, and rich psychiatrists who sling drugs (that barely do more than a placebo), sling false hope, and sling financial exploitation.

Just say no to 988!

Can you explain your ideas in more detail? I'm not understanding, but want to read more.

Prove my cult beliefs are wrong! Oh, you can't? Well then they must be true.

Whenever logic is this flawed, religion is always the rotten unseen core of the thinking.

"we don't know" is scientific equivalency, like

On the one hand 99 scientists think global warming is real

On the other hand here's a Maggat "scientist" in a red hat from Bob Jones university with a Ph.D in religious studies and geology who thinks everything is okay.

There's nothing to indicate any human experience is not the result of biochemical processes and that brain death doesn't end consciousness.

"We don't know" = how to tell me you're a religious cult member without telling me you're a religious cult member

Spoken like a true cult member.

Other side? I'm sure when I get there the Easter Bunny will torture me no matter what I do, as is the custom, so why think about it?

Can someone please invent a religitard AI filter to just remove shit like this from webpages? I feel like editing out proselytizing cult sales pitches would be something AI could be great at.

That person could have ALS. We don't know why they were there. But the religitards say people MUST suffer until the end, pain be damned, because of their myths.

That person may have been hospitalized, hit with a bill for 35,000 after the stay, gotten out in greater financial stress with pills that work only slightly better than a placebo, waited four weeks, and tried again.

But at least the picture makes everyone feel better, right?

It's not always that.

I really hate the perspective that if someone doesn't like life, they must be crazy... because (religious reason, spiritual reason, societal obligation reason, etc).

Life can be bleak and sometimes people make a rational calculation that the pleasure isn't worth the pain. Suicides make people still alive sad so that's why they are socially unacceptable, but people should be able to make choices without automatically being deemed crazy.

No
