[@agiar2000]

When I was at my very lowest point in life, when I was suffering from suicidal ideation, a message like this actually helped me a lot! Basically, in the grand scheme of things, I'll be dead soon enough, and when I _am_ dead, I'll be dead _forever,_ so there's really no need to rush it along. I might as well just keep trying for whatever time I have left! :)

[@allnamesaretakenful]

I used to think I could just put it off, not knowing that things can, and usually get worse. I've put up with so much suffering in the 20 years that I didn't kill myself. Now it is even worse than ever, and anything productive I do will most likely help those I hate. Fuck, I hate Capitalism.

[@agiar2000]

​@@allnamesaretakenful Wow, that sucks. I'm really sorry. I won't insult you with platitudes that will just ring hollow. Maybe you can find one small thing on which to focus, one small thing to remind yourself daily that is good, one thing for which you are grateful or proud. That said, it sounds like you're doing your best and the circumstances just feel completely unworkable. I may not be able to help you, but at least I can sympathize. I hope that things get better for you. I hope that you find some comfort, because I do not feel that anyone deserves to feel the way that you feel.

So it's actually the democrats that have dead people voting for them, the republicans have always been behind voter ID to combat this.

Look, I want voter ID laws, I am not loyal to republican or democrat, I am loyal to truth.
