  • And it prevents “spur of the moment” decisions, like many successful suicides are.

    It may prevent some, but at least some of the ones experiencing acute issues will still go for the immediate option. The bureaucracy of it will add a layer that I suspect will deter some. If it takes months or years, people are just going to find their own way.

    I’m not suggesting that we just help any person right off the street. I think the government has duty of care once they are involved. I’m just saying the reality is that many will still choose not to take this alternative path.



  • I don’t know where in the southern U.S. you are, but definitely look up the dangerous animals for wherever you are living or visiting. In Florida, there are only 2 common dangerous-to-humans spiders, I believe: widows and recluses. There are a few snakes. Alligators are obviously dangerous, but you’re likely to know when you’re in an environment where alligators are likely to be. There are, of course, a number of potential dangerous marine animals. Stay safe, my friends!










  • I’m sure that generally that is true, but my brain tends to pick something from a show, movie, song, and play it on repeat for the entire time I’m asleep. This results in me having terrible sleep. I play a show or movie as I’m falling asleep and this doesn’t happen. I usually fall asleep within 5 minutes. When I have a decent amount of sleep 6+ hours, I wake up refreshed using this method.

    Again, I’m not saying you’re wrong. I’m saying there may be exceptions like mine.

    I did not downvote you, because I don’t downvote people who are trying to have conversations/discuss topics.

    Related to the use of an articulating arm for watching in bed, it was amazing when my neck and back were hurt and I needed to lay totally flat for a few days.
