Fuck off with the censorship.

[–] Syndication@lemmy.today 21 points 4 days ago (1 children)

All it does is silence victims and ignores the reality and struggles people deal with. The same goes for saying things like "grape" and such. It infuriates me.

Blame tiktok

Whereas everyone else had a solid plan that they're totally on course towards completing.

Fuck this I'm going to surround myself with people who give my life meaning, annoy the government, dance, and do drugs sparingly.

Whoever made this image is a child. What the actual fuck is with this dumbass censor?

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 days ago

They expect companies will try to censor discussion of the topic and they are right

I was never suicidal, but I definitely thought I'd be dead by now. Probably would be if I never had my son. I was simply self destructive.

Real talk. It's Thursday - week's almost over. Just the rest of my life to go...

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

You mean there's another fucking week after this one?!?

I was suicidal, hoping to have a heart attack at 25 to get it over with. Never happened, I'm just not sure what to do anymore because my dreams are still dead and buried. I just try to live comfortably and even that's being taken away from me.

I wasn't suicidal, I've just always struggled with actually imagining future as something real and thus never had any plans for the future, back then i couldn't even properly comprehend how people can have future plans and if anyone asked. I just made up random shit as it seemed that's how people do it.

So dying of a drug OD after a weeklong trip was a kinda nice alternative to the rather unrealistic(in hindsight) scenario that my parents constantly reminded or planned for me of becoming a public fleshlight in a prison.

Later it turned out that the drug lectures were kinda wrong and no one just hands you drugs for free.

Oh poor soul. The war on drugs was incredible harsh

Since leaving school - Is this all I have to do now to meet my basic survival needs? Life is so easy now that I don't need to worry about constant violence and harassment!

A single day sat in an office, not even being abused by anyone, is enough to buy more than my weight in potatoes. Fuck me this is an awesome deal!

[–] Gonzako@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Aw, I wanna hug and confort you

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

I felt the same

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

Remove the word suicidal and the idea still works

[–] decapitae@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

Glad you're still here! Now, if you'd like to do something useful; make right wing nazi fascists suffer every day until THEY go away. However you are able or see fit.

[–] Eskarina@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 4 days ago

That works for growing up in a doomsday cult, too.

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

I wasn’t suicidal, but I was so certain that I’d have things figured out by now that I didn’t make any plans either.

[–] RockBottom@feddit.org 2 points 4 days ago

Not a bad thing.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 4 days ago

yeah no that's the intended experience

sorry

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

No plan survives contact with the enemy. Not that you should never make plans, but imo it's more important to be adaptable and resilient because there is no perfect plan you can make.
