I tried to kill myself yesterday

Angry hobo Posted:

People who really have the urges to kill them self dont talk about it. People who do it (like you) are just looking for attention.

That is not only untrue but horribly insensitive.

I’ve volunteered as a suicide prevention counselor for almost 10 years. While it’s true that people with very high intent and means don’t usually reach out by, say, calling suicide hotlines before attempting/completing suicide, I’ve talked to many people with intent ranging from low (still very ambivalent) to high (almost certain to attempt/complete). Your argument fails further because the OP didn’t post here BEFORE attempting (i.e., a cry for help) but rather afterwards.

Also, a successful completion has NOTHING to with intent but rather with the method used. In other words, someone could have very high intent to die but use a method like wrist-cutting or pills that is sometimes non-fatal. This is why more men complete suicide but more women attempt it: men tend to use more fatal means like guns, while women tend to use pills, cutting, etc.

ANYway. Patch the Darknut, there are plenty of good resources out there for suicidal thoughts, depression, and other mental health issues. If you haven’t yet found a medication that works, or a counselor who is helping, you have to keep looking. Try calling 1-800-SUICIDE to be connected to your closest crisis center. Crisis centers aren’t only for suicide prevention; they also have information on local mental health resources and can be incredibly helpful.

Who else is voting for "Fran is fat"?

I’m surprised no one has made a “Got Fur?” forum yet.

Shhh….don’t give them any ideas.

JewGrounds: Religion bashing forum

I disagree. If you know anything about Judaism, some of the submissions were ****ing hilarious. In fact, some of the contributors HAD to be Jewish because of the references that were made and they were jokes that you would only get if you were a member of the Jewish community.

Agreed. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of submissions to JewGrounds, a forum for which I initially had fairly low hopes.

Petition To make ForumWarz Open Source

I don’t think open source works for browser-based games. It can work for casual games and platform games, but for something like Forumwarz, I don’t see how it could be beneficial to either side (CZ or the players).

There, that’s better.

Moon Landing was a hoax

The ending is brilliant.

Losing Creative Diversity

I’ve submitted DiagnoseMe.com twice, and it’s done fairly well both times but hasn’t won (obviously). Maybe one day I’ll try it again.

Also, just out of idle curiosity, how many folks actually stop and actually read the forums they’re pwning sometimes?

I almost always do, unless I’m after lemon scoops or on a time-based job from Herschel. I enjoy reading the community forums and remembering, “Hey, I voted for that one,” or “Hey, I submitted that one!”

What's your religious affiliation?

BobTheSqueakyWeasel Posted:

Atheism is not a religious affiliation; it’s a lack thereof.

...

Anybody responding that their religious affiliation is “atheistic” should probably look up the term.

Actually, this depends on your interpretation of the word “atheist.” It actually has two meanings: 1. the doctrine or belief that there is no God; 2. absence of belief in the existence of God or gods. Atheism that actively rejects the existence of a deity or deities is considered a doctrine and, therefore, would fall under the heading of “religious affiliation.”

That being said, I’m an atheist. And yes, I consider that to be my religious affiliation.

ITT I whine about "forum refresh" screwing me over

FalconFour Posted:

If you noticed you restarted the forum by accident but didn’t make a move yet… slowly back out… and go back to your character page.

Lesson learned.

Good to know for the future. Thanks for the info.

Multiple modifiers in word types?

Here, I’ll resurrect this two-months-dead topic (you’re welcome, Flamebate community!). I would also like to know if there’s a way to use multiple modifiers for word types.
