I live alone and actively wish I could die. I'm not hurting anyone but myself.
I am glad that it's not cool with the younger generations, and that the whole vaping fad kinda died back.
Still though, the amount of self righteousness and lack of empathy from some non smokers really makes me glad that I will never have to hang out with those types of people.
Addiction is a hell of a thing, and when the alternative is worse than quitting, it's extremely difficult to quit.
What are you referring to?
If I quit, I might live longer. Life is hell.
If you don’t quit, you might not die; but you could be in more pain than you are now.
Don't know what’s going through in your life but have this, if you want to: 🤗
I appreciate it. 🫂
same. I'm not quite at the point of suicide yet but I definitely don't need to live into my goddamn ~~80's~~ 50's. not here, not now.
A fellow meseeks
You shouldn't express your suicidal ideations in public. It's dangerous for other people. If someone feels bad for you and tries to help you avoid living longer without smoking, they could get in lots of trouble. You're playing with fire.
I'm not sure what you are trying to say. Could you explain what you mean?
There are a lot of people on this website who believe in the right to die and would feel bad, seeing you suffering like this. They'd want to talk about your right to die with you. But they could get in trouble for that, because the pro-life people see that as encouraging suicide. You're putting the pro-choice people in the difficult position of choosing whether to try to help you, or look after themselves.
Yeah and it's clearly the way women choose to dress that excuses men's predatory behavior /s
Your example is pretty bad because it undermines their point. Womens choice of clothing doesnt excuse predators, but it still puts many in a tough situation by tempting them (not voluntarily but for them its a temptation). Which is in no way saying the women are at fault but unwanted outcomes can be avoided by their chioce. So you could live your life making sure others arent influenced in a negative way by your behavior or you could go to the limits of yoir freedom disregarding any consequences for others as long as youre on the legal side. The answer should be somewhere in the middle of the two extremes, but who can say where exactly. (I mean many do pretend they know, but its obviously subjective)
Absofuckinglutely not. Predatory behavior is inexcusable full stop.
Thats exactly what Im saying though
It is voluntary. Being a creep is a learned behavior and can be unlearned. I'll admit it's systemic but it's our(M/Society) responsibility to change that.
The sentence part after "but" is in direct conflict with thee first.
This should have been a separate paragraph, it's a different idea even if in context. This still let's predators off the hook by assuming their motivations and behavior are "natural" or "innate" in a way that can't change. ~~The~~ one thing humans do well is learn. It's one of our few evolutionary advantages. The "limits of your freedom" don't have to include predatory behavior if you don't identify it as part to your autonomy or self.
E: pedantism, see strikethrough
Definitely
I dont think it is. You can avoid being shot on the street by not leaving your house. The blame lies with the shooter but you could avoid it if that was your goal.
Thats not what Im saying at all and I dont think my comment made it sound like that. Im 100% convinced that predators are at fault and should be the ones being punished. Maybe my comment was unclear, Im not a native speaker.
Not sure what you mean exactly but I wasnt talking about predators' freedom.
Isn't that just the point again though? Expressing suicidal thoughts is literally reaching out for help while being fully aware of the risk. If we accept those who impose that risk then we stigmatize reaching out for help. If we tell women to dress differently to avoid the risk we tell them the creeps are valid.
Yeah probably just a wording/text forum/secondary language thing. See below.
Probably same confusion as above.
So the talking points you're making, at least in form and not intent, parallel arguments from evangelicals and other extreme right or fascist types. After talking I know you didn't intend anything close to those viewpoints. However, I don't feel it would have been appropriate to leave a statement unaddressed if there was a chance of interpretation in the malignant sense.
Isn't it better to give people a reason to not die, instead of like, killing people?
I'm just some Lemmy user, I can't fix the world
Not with that Attitude!
I feel like this is you fighting phantoms. I highly doubt anyone would want to actively help someone die instead like, referring them to a psychologist or therapist or something
I think the right to die is an important freedom. A society can't be free without it. That's all I have to say, I wanna avoid drama
How exactly would they "Get in trouble"? Are we talking like bans or something?
For the record if anyone is in that position, I encourage you to PM me and we could talk there. I certainly don't want to cause problems for anyone.
