i sorta saved a dude's life last night

[The Resonte!]

if nothing matters then your problems mean nothing, so theres no reason to end yourself

tru

if you want to Self Delete you might as well do it by living life on the edge, doing whatever you want in a blaze of glory and letting all your problems go

Why are (some of) you guys stuffting on Das lol? Does his opinion really offend you that much?

Imo it's more 'selfish' to force somebody to suffer a miserable life that they hate because you want them around. Obviously I believe that all suicidal people should seek urgent help, and that OP did the right thing, but if somebody makes a conscious/lucid decision to end their own life then they should have the right to do so. stuff isn't always as easy as just sitting on your ass waiting for things to get better, the guy lost his wife and kids, it's hard to come back from that.

but don't physically harm others in the process please
they didn't choose the same route as you and wish to keep on living

[Insert Name Here²]

why?

You can't control when you'll die by age or whatever, so the healthiest thing to do is accept it and make the best out of life before the time comes.

how do you know that every issue is solvable within a few days or weeks? this dude could have deeply rooted mental issues and is going to attempt Self Delete several more times for all we know

They could be solved by accepting what happened and moving on emotionally, or if you need help, then contact your friends, family etc. Self Delete does not loving help EVER and will make things worse for everybody. If you had a gf / wife and they left you, would you go "welp bye errybody" and just end yourself then and there and not give yourself a chance to actually move on in life like a normal loving human being?

Self Delete will never be a valid option to solve any problems you have. It only makes things MUCH worse for everybody around you and who knows you, and having to put them through that immense ammount of stress just because of one selfish decision you or someone you allowed to make is just inexcusably forgeted up.

why do you always have to agree with the guy that nobody's agreeing with? life might suck but people still deserve the right to live - most Self Deletes are spur of the moment decisions, so why not try to save the guy who might permanently regret his decision?

yes you can and how is it healthier to live in suffering than to end it right then? what if you don't want to make the best out of life? what if they can't?

if you have the right to live then you have the right not live in the same way you have the right to remain silent
you can't regret your decision when you're dead

[Shift Kitty]

Yeah but the guy claimed "Don't do that, I'll lose my kids".
Likely meaning he was still able to see/visit them or something. It'd only make the kids' lives harder if he killed himself. Man's still got responsibility.

well dying from old age is only able to be preventable but not for forever, and you can't really predict or know when your body will just give up from age or disease or whatever

You sure do like to throw the "but what if!!!!" questions just to dodge my points to try and pin it on me

loving address what I'm trying to say

sorry 4 doublepost

my hypothetical answers are answers to your hypothetical questions

[Trogtor]

i'm just being real like all people are gonna die sometime and you may as well accept the truths about your death while you're still alive
like im probably gonna die in a few tens of years like the rest of us will and i plan on making the most out of my life even if nothing really matters in the end
do you?

no you're not being "real, dude" you're being an idiot who thinks everything in life is whatever you make it out to be and considering you haven't even finished grade school you definitely shouldn't have any decision on whether life is worth living. if your really think there's absolutely nothing to life then go spend the rest of your life in a dark cave and rot in there because i guarantee you there's nothing in there or anyone to care.

that's not what i said tho and life IS whatever you make out of it
only you are in control of your future (except for people who commit crimes against you obviously lol)

not really. they're half assed "what if they cant" questions to dodge what I'm saying in an attempt to get me to "screw up" or whatever.

99% of the time, no matter what happens, there were always be a decision you can make thats much better than killing yourself. Especially what is going on with the dude as well, with his problems, Self Delete is one of those in-the-moment decisions he wants to do without him even thinking of what will happen in the future, him regretting it, and the people he would seriously hurt over such a selfish thing he could do.

When i use to work fast food I would be the one they put the most often on trash duty. While i was out in the 'lobby/dining' area changing out the main trashcan, a man walked up to me nonchalantly. I thought he was waiting to use the new trashcan and thought nothing of it. When I finished changing it out I looked up to see that he was actually standing there with a horrified look on his face and he was pointing at me and then to himself. He managed to squeeze the words out "choking" and for some reason my reaction was

"Oh, you're choking." In a weird semi-irritated way.

I turned the guy around after that weird realization and positioned my arms around him for the Heimlich maneuver. Mind you, there were 3 EMT's I didn't know about having lunch in the corner that day, and I had aimed the guy who was choking right at them, though they didn't notice. For me this was when the panic set in and i wondered if i had even practiced the Heimlich enough to know what the forget I was doing. Luckily, it only took me about 3 squeezes into his upper abdomen before a soggy french-fry came careening out of his mouth and literally onto the tray of the nearest EMT guy. When they finally noticed all 3 of them were all over the guy checking to see if he was ok and stuff. Since they had been busy and at it for the next 10 minutes I saw it fit to finish taking out the trash. When all was said and done, the EMT guy got his food replaced after the incident and the whole squad of medical technicians received praise for saving the guy. The guy who had been choking sought me out on facebook later on and thanked me along with 4 tickets to loving Carowinds. The manager had also noticed the whole thing that went down on the camera aimed at the front door and i got my employee meals free for the rest of the month.
