how normal is suicide when one goes into financial ruin
I just lost all of my money making a shitty decision to help a family member buy a house. I am now living paycheck to paycheck

>> No.54843648

pretty normal, if u want numbers lets say above 60%

but its more focused on mental health than anything else, financial issues are just part of it

theres people living on misery, people who cant even earn a dollar, and people ruined but happy with family, friends or caring partner

so the big S is more heavily focused on mental health

The halfening is less than a year away. The market usually pumps several months after that. We're not too far from the bull run. Cut your expenses for a year and use the extra money to buy BTC or ETH. No shitcoin gambling. Sell after we reach new ATHs. Don't buy back in if it keeps pumping after you sell, just relax until a final ATH is reached and we do a -80%. Then bu back in again and wait.

You will recover everything you lost and become stronger than you were before. Only this time you have the experience from your mistakes to guide you.

I guess. Me and my ex got in a fight while I was driving her car and I snapped off the headlight toggle while I was banging my fist on the steering wheel during our argument.

She was too drunk to realize the danger at night and told me to get out and walk. She crashed the car very shortly after and called me on the phone (she hit a telephone pole and broke her leg). Instead of helping her. I quickly ended the phone call and then turned my phone off and just walked back to my own house.

The next day she had no recollection of what happened so I just said my phone died and I was asleep.

>charity
I'm sorry anon, I've been slacking on telling people that all forms of charity are evil. It's not entirely your fault.

CHARITY IS EVIL
It harms the giver by reducing the resources they have to achieve their goals.
It harms the receiver by fostering a sense of dependence and by enabling them to achieve bad goals (ie, buying a house they can't afford normally, which will result in a loss, or more commonly enabling beggars to buy drugs/alcohol).
It harms society by funneling resources to economically damaging activities.

Anyway don't kill yourself. Steal from your relative to get back your initial donation, then cut them off and move to a different state.

But I'd also argue that giving feels good and strokes the ego so we probably evolved to want to help others, makes sense if we lived in small tribes/nations for most of history.

Well I guess the whole situation wasn't backhanded or anything. I was looking for a place to live and they wanted to buy a house, so I put some money down for it and now we live together+split expenses. I thought my investment would give returns in the future but with everything crashing we'd be lucky to sell it 20k under break even.

In a small tribe situation there are mitigating factors that make helping others not evil, but it's also not charity. Helping becomes a strategy for tribe survival. It's like how helping a coworker on a small team project at work enables the team as a whole to achieve their goals. That's not charity, that's teamwork, because every individual involved, more or less, shares the same goal. Conversely, helping a coworker achieve a goal that you DON'T share with them IS charity, and it's evil. That's the essential difference between charity and teamwork.

Charity only feels good because you've been brainwashed to feel good about it. It's mainly a placebo effect. Or it assuages guilt which was, again, something you were brainwashed to feel by propaganda. It's not a coincidence that the Catholic Church pushes the idea of original sin so hard, ingraining a sense of guilt into people, and that it also pushes the idea of charity so hard (eg tithing). They're creating the problem and selling the solution, just as much as those ads with sad children/animals and a sad soundtrack begging you to donate by calling the number on the screen.

You can break yourself of this habit: write down a goal for yourself, such as buying something that would meaningfully improve your life (a new kitchen appliance or washer/dryer or car repair or whatever). Something in the range of a hundred to a thousand dollars. Then, anytime you feel compelled to the sin of charity, instead of indulging, take the money you would have squandered and put it in a special account, envelope, jar, whatever. Once you have enough saved up, by the thing that improves your life and reflect that if you had given that money away, your life would be MATERIALLY WORSE.

Is your name on the title? If not, it should be, even if they're making the payments now. If you don't have something in writing saying you own part of that house, they can evict you and you'll have no recourse.

If they balk at this, tell them you want your name on the title for financial reasons, like to help your credit score.

Also you're being a short term thinking idiot. You're not going to sell the house this year. You haven't lost anything: you have the house and you're living in it. You living paycheck to paycheck is because you can't budget appropriately. Go make a proper budget and start saving again. Hurry: the next bullrun is coming, and you'll want at least 0.5BTC when it comes.

A very Nietzschean argument but I partially disagree. Charity is a good way to gain power over somebody as they become indebted to your kindness, there's a clear power dynamic at play (as there is in every interaction) - of course some people will take advantage of your altruism, Jews have weaponised it against Europeans since the end of WWII in regards to immigration and they invoke ancestral guilt to blackmail us.

Won't work on psychopaths, family, or as you mentioned, the chosen. So what's the point then? There's easier ways to gain power over the sheep. For instance, they're stupid enough to fall for loan sharking even when it's illegal.

>>54844710
>If charitable acts are reciprocated then the ''investment'' was worthwhile
If the charitable acts are reciprocated it stops being charity and starts being a relationship. Like when you buy a girl dinner and then she sucks your dick. It's not purely a transaction, because neither of you is obligated by the other's actions, but you both do it because you like each other.

I now see that there is another insidious way that the evil of charity spreads: by over-applying the term "charity" to things that aren't really charity, grifters can muddy the waters by confusing people into thinking they're already doing charity all the time, so it's no harm to squander resources on degenerate people/activities.

>>54844759
>Won't work on psychopaths, family, or as you mentioned, the chosen
Every interaction between people, between man and environment, between man and beast, is a struggle for power. The psychopath isn't pacified or bogged down by value systems so he will contest you for dominance if you try to help him. I will repeat what I previously said, that it's beneficial to help those who can help you later on. Don't help psychopaths or those who can threaten your position, only help him who is clearly the weaker man.

Only if reciprocation occurs which is something you can anticipate but not accurately predict, so until that time it remains charity.

If charity is virtuous in the society you inhabit then it's logical to do it, others will admire you and elevate you - thus power is increased.

Donating money is only one aspect of charity, and I can't even remember when I last did it, but why would I appease you by ceasing to be charitable? Charity feels good and it emboldens me, so I will keep doing it.

True, they are hard to spot. I once came to the aid of a man that crashed his car and he was intoxicated, I had a camera as I was out taking pictures and he proceeded to smash (probably thought I had evidence of him driving under the influence).
We have to be vigilant of those we interact with, be it for charity or anything else.

I've learned my lesson but its very helpful to see this written out, you put it well and I entirely agree that charity is evil. If no one warns you of these mistakes you're sure to make them yourself. Wish I learned this earlier. Thanks anon

We do actually have original sin, but there's an almost imperceptible but key difference between lifting someone up and pushing someone down because of it. We all have rage, fear, delusion, and all the rest of that, inherited from our evolutionary history and partially necessitated by the harsh world we live in, but to say this hatefully, as an accusation, makes the accused deny it, and hide it. Original sin, if you want to call it that, as well as all others sins, do not therefore disappear, but are even strengthened because they cannot be processed, causing mental suffering instead. They simply re-appear in new guise, and all the stronger, as we clearly see when looking at the madhouse into which this whole world has been transformed by truth hatefully spoken.
Someone who denies having sin is a fool, but someone who accuses others of sin is twice the fool, because he not only fails to see his own, but also equates an injury with guilt, and thereby adds to the injury.
