You're right. But if someone I care about is choosing between suicide and explode their relationships, I hope they choose explode their relationships. I'll be there when they figure out whatever is next. (I know because I have been for someone who did. I'm not delighted with how they handled things, but I'm glad I still have them.)

Oh I am always in favor of life. Suicide is messy, painful and leaves a lot of people with less in their life.

It's just not a solution as much as a new start point searching for something that doesn't exist and will likely lead you back to having to do it again.

People can do what they need to or want but I see no comfort for those that follow trying to get a better life. That is why I feel sad seeing people recommending it I guess.
We don't find utopia on the other side of tomorrow, just more tomorrows.

They don't have to mean the same thing, it's an expression. And quite a nice one at that.

Sure. I use words that I find match more to the tone of meaning I intend to convey rather than a 1 to 1 of repeating it for the sake of repeating it.

Do you have anything to add to this other than that 2 words I used are not identical?
I'd be interested in your take on reality rather than a pedantic interjection to make it so you feel like you contributed.

Please share if you have more but I will consider using simpler prose if that's all you want to add.

What a twat. Those two words mean different things. A frog would be able to extrapolate my point. Blocked.

Did you? I thought you blocked them.

Yeah, after I read it lmao

Think, Mark! How would it make sense the other way around?

You don't take well to being called a pedant, do you?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I don't want to accuse you of being an alt without proof but you're acting very weird here tbh. You didn't respond at all either.

Anyways, no, that part didn't bother me (I am a pedant, after all). I just want to only be called a pedant if I'm not making a relevant point.

I'm clearly not going to convince you, and I don't want to interact with people who act the way you do if I can't hope for you to change. You're going on the list too, pal.

Oh no, not THE LIST

What an almost hilariously awful response.

I'm probably better off blocked by you but what an utter disappointment to being offered to offer more to the conversation.
