Someone likes to live on the edge

They're free. You can just take one. No one will stop you.

Dont worry, i wont
But as intrusive thoughts sometime do? getting kinda loud ya know

Edit: thank you for the consolation

23 years ago I met a guy at work that was really cool. We became friends of a sort, in the way that a shy introvert considers friends. Every once in a while he'd invite me to hang out with his friends, which was always a good time. I'm not sure if he considered me a friend. I always felt like an outsider in those groups. But he was kind to me, and I love him. Eventually we both moved away from that area. I'm not good at keeping in touch, especially over long distances. For instance, my brother lives a couple of states away, I love him to death, and we talk maybe once a year.

So I'd call my friend every once in a while, and we'd catch up.

Eighteen years ago I lost my friend to depression. The details aren't important. How he did it. Who found him. The 3 am phone call. But it was 18 years ago. It still hurts. You think you'll always have someone, that they're just a phone call away. That you'll get to hear their weird take on that thing we'd always argue about. That you'll get to hear his latest poem…

And you'll always wonder if you could've done something to help them stay.

People don't realize that they bring light to the world. That they'll be missed. That there will be a hole in the world where they were. That they are loved more deeply and profoundly than they can know. The memory of them is a poor substitute for their presence.

Don't go too soon. You will be missed.

Anyone planning on doing this, please think of the CEO's..

I understand the dangers of climate change and pollution and I fully support moving away from oil as an energy source. But I'm genuinely curious about how you see destroying oil infrastructure playing out.

Don't say that on social media. If you're gonna do that, just do it. Climate activists have done it before and it's most certainly more effective than the majority of climate activism I see.

There's was nothing off the cuff about that dude's actions, though. He was very smart, and if he's caught because he could only afford a hostel it'll feel unfair.

I've heard the trick is never looking back. The moment you get in touch with your old life they can find you.

Take note OP. If you're gonna do an exit scam you get everything in cash (somehow, it can be deliberately hard for this reason) and shed old technology and connections like a snake skin.

That, or joining some hardcore cult because the weight of responsibility is tiring and it's so easy to delegate your will to some bullshit explanation of how everything is and what everyone should be doing. Many flies can't lie how eating shit is calming.

Have some more chicken

Have some more pie

It doesn't matter if it's boiled or fried

We are many ✊

raisins do be fire tho

I didn't realize how badly I want to do this until you said (wrote) it.

Exactly this. They never guide or try to cause anything, it's just distressing. The way OP frames it makes it sound like the devil or something is talking to you. It's more like "hey, do you remember that super embarrassing thing you said/did? Well lets play it on repeat for the next however many minutes". It's not something you'd ever want to do.

Well, I'm glad you don't have any than

It's called "L'appel du vide" or "call of the void" and quite normal.

It's an old instinct to think through the consequences of dangerous things instead of actually doing them.

Oh wow that's crazy i had the same thing happen

It might just be me, but I think getting another cat is a bit hard when you've ended it all
