I have no how many people I have killed probably alot wars crazy
Bullets or bombs?
The prior mostly
My ideal partner would have exactly identical personality to me.
During highschool I would regularly imagine a “perfect crush” during bus rides. In my last year I had that “damn I was an edgy asshole during middle and highschool” moment and I wanted to change.
So since my friend group is also jerks like me I just started imitating that imaginary person until “fake it til you make it” kicked in.
Everything from my sense of humour to taste in music changed over time. I even became a slightly bit more feminine when I used to be hardcore Matt Walsh fan until this point.
I also got hobbies I just thought looked attractive like Archery. I got into computers because this.
I read somewhere ages ago that you should become the person you want to be with the most, which I think is great advice. And less about searching for someone else who is that. Sounds like this is what you did.
I’m 99% sure I know my killer is me… eventually as my spine falls apart and suffering massively increases with time. And I’m okay with that so long as it is my choice. When people talk about suicide, I strongly believe in the saying, “no permanent solutions for temporary problems.” But I strongly believe in this saying from both perspectives, aka “permanent solutions are your personal choice that I fully respect as an unalienable human right, if you choose, due to permanent problems.” Anyone trying to steal such an unalienable human right from another is exceptionally ignorant of the magnitude of potential suffering and is criminally sadistic as far as I’m concerned.
I think AI will just cure that…if you have the money.
I’m sorry to hear about your pain. I have chronic pain but I’m very young so I’m not close to this point yet. I understand how hard it is just to function day to day. Good luck man
don’t say any of that to anyone in person. you might get section 12’d
What does this mean?
Going off context, I’d guess it’s like California’s 5150. If you threaten harm on yourself they give you a pair of really cool socks to calm you down.
Ah, I see. I was finding Canadian results but we have medical assistance in dying (MAID) now.
At least Canada is more honest, in that the government wants their citizens to fucking kill themselves rather than pay to help them first.
Euthanasia for is legal for many terminal conditions that involve extreme suffering in in a few countries now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_euthanasia
Society deserves more capable system thinkers
That’s what I made [email protected] for 😁
Honestly I can’t refute that. Thankfully, euthanisation is legal in some countries (The Netherlands & Switzerland) but many countries need to catch up to it. I’m sorry that you are going through what you are going through, and I hope that you will be able to go on your terms rather than your illness’ terms
For serious. The story of Hisashi Ouchi should be enough to convince anyone with an ounce of heart that assisted suicide needs to be a human right. Kept alive for 83 days when he was begging to be put down while he was conscious. His cells literally did not have any more valid DNA. He was a dead man being kept alive, because his family refused to allow the doctors to pull the plug.
Insane, inhuman torture because your own family cannot let you go… Such absolute selfish insanity from them.
I recommend you check out Wendigoon’s video on the subject. There was some faulty reporting on what actually went on there. The doctors, nurses and the family were not monsters and Hisachi himself was not begging for death. He tried to hold on to life for the sake of his family. It is a very touching story that fell victim to sensationalism because apparently, going through insane radiation sickness wasn’t sensational enough.
I’ve seen several videos on it and most said he did. Not at first. Later, when he was near comatose.
I also have chronic pain and it’s really the worst. Sorry you’re saddled with it too. It’s interesting how if you say what you just did to “normal people”, they’ll often react by trying to talk you out of your opinion, but chronic pain sufferers usually just grunt their agreement.
The town’s undertaker embalms everyone who does not embalm themselves. Who embalms the undertaker?
As an embalmer, I will be cremated. If people knew what we do to them when we embalm, fewer people would choose it.
Always two there are, a master and an apprentice.
Every undertaker is morally oblieged to cary instructions for his job and when death knocks the person who finds the undertaker has to be the next one.
The underclause
THE Undertaker is morally obliged to throw Mankind off of Hell in a Cell should they ever cross paths there again.
The undertaker’s understudy.
The under-under-taker
If the under-under-taker is Australian, would it then be the down-under-under-under-taker?
If you’re a trucker on CB radio, you could overtake the underundertaker, over.

I dont always look both ways before crossing the street at a cross walk…
You should. If not for yourself, then for whoever might hit you and have to live with it for the rest of their life.
I look both ways before crossing a one-way street.
I’m not trying to be taken out by society’s lowest common denominator.
This morning some pedestrian stared me down as he started crossing in front of me at a leisurely pace while I approached going 45 mph with a green light. Not a single fuck given.
Depends where you are in the world really. In the UK, that is very much a you problem, not the pedestrian’s. Not that people drive like it in some parts of the country, generally in rural areas.
My understanding is that this is also the case (legally) in most of the US. Pedestrians have right of way.
People sure don’t drive like it though. Too many motherfuckers doing 50 down the fire lane in front of some local shops.
Even when the pedestrian has an active do-not-cross signal?
I do a band count before I start peeing into the toilet….
“A-one, a-two, a-one-two-three-four!” peeeeeeeeeeeee
I then usually start singing a tv show theme song like Happy Days as I keep the flow going. Disturbed yet?
I time how long mine took. 45 seconds is the max, 30 seconds typical for long overnight. If I only take 10-15 seconds, body was lying about needing to go.
Count down to firing is also a thing sometimes.
In my head I heard the count in from Billy Joel’s “A Matter of Trust” which made it all the better
I sing the alphabet in French.
I’m ready to die, honestly. Not that I want to do it, it’s just that I feel it’s time since the pandemic.
Why the pandemic?
I don’t know. It’s more like a time reference than a consequence of.
Gotcha, I am sorry to hear. Hopefully you find freedom and joy during the coming challenges
has anything made sense after the pandemic?
Many aspects of my life are consistent
What specifically has changed for you? (my question was for the person above you, btw, I do not mean to abandon that thread)
given selokichtli already responded i’ll chip in as well.
it’s honestly quite hard to give an exact answer, but life has definitely not felt the same ever since the lockdowns hit.late 2019 to like 2023 and even early 2024 flew by very fast for me. i can’t even really remember much from that period and i’m not sure whether it’s a direct consequence of the above, or maybe it’s from COVID brain fog (i’m not even sure if i had COVID in the first place)
in any case things have felt off since the lockdowns. not to mention how much the internet has changed ever since LLMs got rolled out.
ok, thank you for responding, my memories of 2020 are very fast too, I did not notice until now
Quick clarification question. Ready to, or mentally prepared for death?
Not sure what the difference is, except one implies the other and not vice versa. I’m not planning it, it’s just okay if it happens. Wouldn’t say I’m mentally prepared, but I hope it’s fast enough.
Well, ready to sounds similar to passive suicidal ideation. Example: you question if you would be motivated to jump out of the way of an oncoming car or accept it.
By mentally prepared I mean that you have an understanding of your own mortality and accept that life will end at some point without having mental or emotional stress at the thought(s).
Edit: Passive Suicidal Ideation is a sign that assistance may be needed. Anyone struggling with this please reach out to a therapist, memorize your prevention hotline, or throw out other lifelines. I had my struggle, but I will continue because I must. I can’t rely on others to remember those important to me, or mourn them as they deserve.
I spend time on google maps just browsing, learning where different places are in the world.
One time someone put a burred out map showing their location and I knew exactly where they were.
I promise never to use this power for evil.
Have you ever tried geoguesser?
Just wanted to shout out the seterra quiz section that’s on their site too. They have a bunch of other well put together geography games besides the street view game. I’m addicted to the ‘220+ countries and territories’ one, even though I still only get like 70-80%. Eventually ill learn all those islands.
Seterra was my preferred quiz site to practice for Geography tests!
Found Rainbolt’s Lemmy account
Context is really important. If he’s an undertaker it might be a bit odd, but a final act of love for his wife.
But if he’s a trucker, for example, that’s more than slightly odd.
He was a very occasional funeral director when he was sober enough to run one on behalf of his friend who owned the home. He wasn’t even professionally trained at any of it, but yeah for some reason they let him embalm her and so her hair and makeup and all. I guess in small towns it’s not that uncommon for the undertaker to make up their relatives, but my guess would be that it’s a big no no to embalm them even when you are the undertaker, which my neighbour definitely wasn’t. It’s amazing what an old boys club small town boomer friendship can result in.
As odd as he was and usually full of a barrel of terrible whiskey, I still miss him. We generally agree that he committed suicide.
In funeral director circles, the topic of embalming your loved ones comes up a lot. Some people want to, so they know they get the best care. Some people, like me, would rather ask an embalmer they trust to do it.
As far as embalming certification, it varies by state. Colorado is notorious for embalming not requiring licensure. Minnesota requires a 4 year degree. So it’s hard to say if he was official or not.
Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong.
I always save Mordin. The Krogan deserve the genophage.
nice try officer
I kicked a decrepit german shepard to death.
WHY?!
Wasn’t my fault really, the owner had trained his dog to be aggressive and I was deathly afraid of dogs. The animal escaped the leash and charged me, I don’t know if it would have bitten me, but I instinctively kicked it in the face… I’m an extremely overweight guy and was scared shitless, that’s propably why my leg had some serious power behind it, so I kicked that poor puppies snout straight into its braincase.
Still have nightmares of that day. Good news is: I have sinced learned to be less afraid and love dogs now. I even regularly put my hand down the throat of a huge japanese Akita Inu who loves me to death and pull on his teeth in play.
Good on you, it’s the owners fault. I really hate most dog owners, they just let their dogs off the leash and let them come up to you, not giving a shit whether the person is afraid of dogs or not or basically taking the risk for someone else.
Since having a daughter every time I’m out and there’s dogs I hate having to imagine how I’d save her from an attack and how I’d either have to try killing it or escaping.
They have the audacity to say “don’t worry they won’t harm her” when I pick my daughter up to stop them getting near. “No fuck you and leash your dog”
What makes you think he’s talking about a dog?
The “Why?” is a spoiler, i didn’t realize it at first too, just was bold text in voyager.
And you are right, ir also could have been a decrepit german with the name shepard lol
Or a shepherd that’s an elderly German man I guess lol
Theres a lot of shitty dog owners out there. Also, glad you’re able to work through the phobia.
I went for a walk on the Hudson Bay coast of far northern Ontario once when I was a teenager and we saw a polar bear. We’re Indigenous and my family has connections up there so we went to visit them many times when I was growing up.
We had seen the bear a few days before from the safety of a frieghter canoe filled with a group of hunters with high powered rifles. We were in a 24 foot canoe and the bear was a huge adult that was probably about 12 to 15 feet long on four limbs and probably 20 feet standing. We looked at each other for a while and then dad and his hunter relatives fired warning shots next to the bear. The spray of firing a high powered shot in mud and clay is like a mini explosion or a land mine going off. It scared the bear enough that it started running. The land there is completely flat and featureless and the bear was gone on the horizon as a speck in a matter of minutes. We didn’t want it near our camp.
My cousin and I went for a walk later, we came across the big claw marks of the adult polar bear in the mud and clay of the seashore. The marks were huge and it looked like it was made by a small backhoe or tractor. Clean cut marks from four huge claws with each limb. We were impressed and measured them with our feet and hands and head. We said to ourselves, hey this thing could tear us apart in seconds.
It was then that we realized, we about an hour long walk back to camp, we’re alone and this bear could reappear at any moment and come running or even just walk fast at us from far away in a matter of minutes. All we had were shotguns to go bird hunting and we were just 16 year old kids. And we couldn’t really walk fast in the muddy clay and tundra marsh where we were.
If the bear had been anywhere near us that day … we would have been one of those little box newspapers stories of two teens that got killed by a bear in the northern wilderness.
You had shotguns, could have rescared the bear
Yes, dad taught us that a shot gun wouldn’t defend against a bear. He said if we were ever in that situation to aim for the face, eyes and nose and hope to blind it and give you a chance to run.
But with a bear as powerful as polar bear, chances are still high that that won’t work.
A 303 rifle shot in the mud is like an explosion, it’s very dramatic, loud and visual. It does scare a bear.
A shotgun blast in the mud is not as dramatic, unless you fire it about 20 feet away from you … which is too close to you and the bear.
First time I fired my AR-15 (NOT a high powered rifle) in the swamp it was raining mud. On my brand new white gun. LOL, I felt like an idiot.
Or simply pissed it off enough to attack. It’s a gamble antagonizing any predator when you do not have the means to actually defend yourself.
Polar bears, unlike other bears, will actively prey upon humans, given the opportunity. Such an encounter is a “do everything that you can to dissuade it” sort of situation. Food is hard to come by in the North, if a polar bear gets within shotgun range, it’s almost certainly going for a snack.
20 fucking feet tall ? is that possible ? forgive me but I’ve never seen a bear and it sounds like fantasy to me
They were likely misremembering scale on account of being a teenager at the time. The tallest recorded (standing on hind legs) was 12ft (4m). They are massive creatures.
Ooo!
Ok, this isn’t nearly as unique or exciting, but the last time I went backpacking with my dad in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness, we were hiking around a lake and saw some really nice deer tracks in the almost muddy soil of the lake shore, like you could make nice molds out of. We go a bit further, and I’m looking at the tracks because they’re so pristine, deep, and perfect, and I see a cats paw join the tracks. The paw print was bigger than my hand, and I’m a grown-ass man.
I was half worried about meeting that cat; I’m no tracker, but I suspect the tracks had been made the previous night or that morning. The other half of me was sorry for that deer.
We weren’t hunting and had no guns, but I bought a Pelican case for our next trip; that was our last one together, though.
I always love thinking about what wild cats could do to a person.
I think of what a five pound angry house can do you … it will roll around like a snake in your hands, dazzled in fur, spiked with razor blades. It will cut and scratch you until you bleed in 20 different places.
Now turn that cat into a 100lb animal that has daggers instead of razor blades.
Shea butter is perfect lubricant with monkey asshole but my uncle says that real men do not need any, he is a scary man. The manliest dog hunter I have ever seen
what
I once removed a woman’s leg.
Was she wearing a prosthehic?
No
Are you a surgeon?
In a religious church/school I attended, we had a “revival” week in which kids took to destroying their “secular” CDs, etc. It became sort of a game of oneupmanship mixed with a dash of Satanic Panic. You could brag in chapel about it and get kudos, look good in front of everyone. One pre-teen/young teenage girl went home and put her Ouija board in a tub of gasoline and lit it. She barely survived, spent months in the hospital, and was never the same, obviously. The adults then comforted themselves by telling everyone that she had seen red eyes in the flames. It was for the best, you see, the Ouija board did indeed have a demon inside. After, she got really into Marilyn Manson, wearing all black, etc. so they cast her as the evil kid to feel even better, I guess.
The end.
Did I do it right? Did I do good?
That’s insane!
