    I get it, though. It is sending a good message through a personal story. But it is fucked up, though much like the topic of suicide itself, so it is probably inescapable.

    The message was botched, though. The cartoonist said they can show evidence that “we” (the passive you, whatever) can change our lives, but the only evidence was about themself. I believe they don’t know shit about anyone elses life or problems and are falling on survivor bias saying “just do what I did!”.








  • What irritates me the most is they don’t even bother to ask what to do with the bootloader when installing Windows, or at least the option is hidden behind some guru magic not supported by the installer GUI. Leave an old windows boot drive plugged in while doing a fresh install on another drive, and the installer happily uses the bootloader on the old drive without ever even mentioning it. Since it is so easy to make this mistake you’d think Microsoft offered a tool to move the bootloader to a different drive, but nope.






  • No health care professional ever told me that depression can be something that’s just a part of who I am, and that maybe there is no getting rid of it. Rens message in the video feels so genuine and real that instead of passing it over as just another piece of pop culture, I stopped to really listen and think about what he’s saying about managing your darker tendencies and learning to live with them. The song has maybe helped me accept myself a bit better, but as I said, it’s still a bit too early to call if it’s an actually permanent and useful effect.
