That's going to heavily depend on location, resources/money, and health. The very issues at hand here. Many people would love to just leave, they don't because they lack even a viable destination. And it's not great to travel on foot or be homeless when it's freezing outside.

Intentional communities are probably a more realistic thing in the US, but even then if it were such an effective option it seems like less people would be homeless. The closest one to me has no info on living costs/expectations and a $50 fee for a "tour" (so it likely is not a saving option for those who can barely maintain themselves).

Depends.. Is the disability something that could be inflicted on an otherwise unaffected individual?

Can we get the CEO of Walmart next?

Yes, please!

Downvote. I've always supported the concept of suicide, provided it's a rational response rather than an emotional one.

There was a scientist in the early and mid 1900s whose name escapes me. And he was known for discovering cures for disease, and different elements, and such.

He came to a point where he decided that he hadn't enjoyed living for a long time, and he saw no logical reason he would ever start enjoying life in the future. So rather than play it out until the end, hating every year of it, he decided to kill himself in his 30s.

He wrote this letter stating not to cry over his loss. Not to get emotional. He just came to the logical decision that he would rather not suffer through life for 50 years. Just end it now.

That is a STARK contrast to something like "my wife just left me, and I lost a million dollars, and my dog ran away!!!!"

Because for those people, they are dealing with temporary but intense problems which over time will eventually subside.

However, if you're in in your 30s or 40s, and you look back on your life, and you struggle with questions such as "what makes you happy?" because you've never been happy, then I support suicide. I think it's selfish to force others to suffer through life, for decades, with nobody thinking what it's like for them, simply because there's a stigma against it perpetrated by people who only even talk to you 3-4 times a year.

I think it's it's selfish to expect them not to commit suicide, and suffer in silence, because it would make you sad for 3-5 minutes when you find out. Or maybe it would make you feel guilty for a few minutes that you didn't reach out.

But after that, the feeling would pass, you'd go back to never thinking about them anymore, except this way, they won't also be suffering on their own.

That's a very good option, though might I recommend the CEO of RealPage?

[email protected]

You mean is it contagious? No? If that's not what you mean, then I don't really know, parts of it are lifelong and progressive, it's unclear what's hereditary.

[email protected]

Part of me wants to ask what RealPage is, and the logical side of me is telling me that if the first thing you learn about a company is that it's CEO is a piece of shit, than it may be better not to know what RealPage is.

[email protected]

This company is a genuine menace and one we all need to know well. On the scale of United. RealPage is for "property management", i.e. landlord software. There are several lawsuits with allegations of price fixing, monopoly, etc. they're a very significant factor as to why rent is so fucking expensive and why it keeps increasing at insane rates. They'll never collect the data, but they're responsible for creating countless homeless people.

There is no "rational" reasoning that leads to the conclusion that you'll never be happy (unless you're in an actively harmful situation, such as a torture prison or with an extreme chronic disease).

You cannot tell whether you'll be happy, you cannot know who you'll be ten years in the future.

Claiming that you won't ever be happy simply because you haven't been happy so far is short sighted and narrow minded.

Suicide is always unreasonable.

Suicide is a philosophical question and the answer depends on each one. Your answer only applies to you, as you can't experience other's realities.

Being alive is a right, and dying should be too. Why keep someone in this misery against their will?

Suicide is always unreasonable.

Well you've contradicted yourself there 'cause you ~~said we were stationary~~ gave 2 examples of rational reasoning a minute ago.

I think when someone has been suffering consistently for over a decade it's not short-sighted. Especially considering long-term issues with their environment. Chronic illness (ruining QoL and shortening lifespan), lack of transportation, no social life etc adds to it. The glaring societal problems aren't new, and are likely getting worse rather than better.

Even looking at anecdotes ("We met on WoW"), lots of people don't even have the circumstances to allow that slim chance.
