When it is harder to kill oneself, fewer people do so
If fewer people can, then fewer people do--I don't have any arguments with the potential truth of the position. But that's not the same as
the deeply held but incorrect belief that the suicidal are determined to die
I need to see more data.
Speaking of dying, I tried to reboot my home PC this morning and it was having none of it. At the very least it will be off all day which means my primary email account will pile up a few hundred spams I'll have to delete by hand.
I couldn't believe the number of Starbuck's I saw in Paris last month. Just a few years ago there were 3.
Can we throw out Monday - it's gotten awfully stale.
Le sigh.
As a non-American I find this a useful resource indeed.
Or not.
I just realized: there's a starbucks in the strip mall up the road that also has a Barnes&Noble. Which also has a starbucks inside (& right by the door.) They are the same sized. That's just bizarre.
Good grief people are being idiots today. On my neighborhood listserv, some actually wrote "please call the police if you see minorities on our block" (after having a house break-in) - hello! Minority people probably LIVE ON YOUR BLOCK! AND ON THE NEXT BLOCK TOO! Happily the listserv is smacking hard. And at work, it's not bigotry, but still butt-headedness. Dear web support person - do not email a faculty member and say you will ask me to do something unless you ask me to do it. These things have a way of getting back around and making us both look bad, and it's your fault. Thxbye.
Is there ever a Monday that feels like a Friday?
Well...it is GORGEOUS here today. Totally springtime on the waterfront. So I walked over to the Safeway (a little over 1/2 a mile roundtrip) and picked up some things and then got myself an eggplant parm sub and walked back. Going out for a walk like that and buying (not bringing) indulgent lunch is something I normally only do on a Friday.
hah! Spoke too soon! Tomato sauce on my shirt!
The last two posts (well, really the last post) cracked me up.
Um, it isn't really altogether that hard to commit suicide. I call bullshit.
