Protip: use something really strong like high caliber gun or dynamite if you can. Aim for the neck through your open mouth, human skull can be surprisingly sturdy.

Also don't do it. But if you have to do it, do it well.

being alive, even only technically, is intrinsically a GOOD THING

i can't really put it into words but it just is, trust me

given the choice, i would keep all of my pets and relatives alive indefinitely. they can sit in the shame and misery and humiliation of degrading into a pile of aching bones and sagging flesh, but they will be near me. and technically alive. and that's what matters most. if i am happy.

But Herodicus, being a trainer, and himself of a sickly constitution, by a combination of training and doctoring found out a way of torturing first and chiefly himself, and secondly the rest of the world.

How was that? he said.
By the invention of lingering death; for he had a mortal disease which he perpetually tended, and as recovery was out of the question, he passed his entire life as a valetudinarian; he could do nothing but attend upon himself, and he was in constant torment whenever he departed in anything from his usual regimen, and so dying hard, by the help of science he struggled on to old age.....When a carpenter is ill he asks the physician for a rough and ready cure; an emetic or a purge or a cautery or the knife, --these are his remedies. And if some one prescribes for him a course of dietetics, and tells him that he must swathe and swaddle his head, and all that sort of thing, he replies at once that he has no time to be ill, and that he sees no good in a life which is spent in nursing his disease to the neglect of his customary employment; and therefore bidding good-bye to this sort of physician, he resumes his ordinary habits, and either gets well and lives and does his business, or, if his constitution falls, he dies and has no more trouble.

Yes, he said, and a man in his condition of life ought to use the art of medicine thus far only.

It's disturbing that there is such an influx of young male suicides and attempts recently and yet no one wants to do anything about it. Even consider myself suicidal, and have been for at least 6 years now. This is an issue that is largely ignored by the media

Because we've never had it better. So don't question. Don't even try to say that things are perfect, because that could lead to social disturbance. Better not to question and to just bottle it all up.

Materially, in places of privilege, yes. But say that to the millions of slaves in China and Bangladesh who make almost everything you own. Say that to the millions of homeless people around the world. Say that to every single person caught in the cogs of a faceless bureaucracy. If life is so great, why is everyone so unhappy? Why are people everywhere revolting against modernity if its so wonderful? I'm not some idiot /pol/-tard by the way. My views are actually very moderate. But anyone that thinks that the way we live is good is fooling themselves.

Doesn't large numbers of people killing themselves indicate the opposite?
Perhaps material prosperity is not having it better, past relief from hunger.
I don't have enough money to have kids, as don't plenty of people. I don't have enough money for status. I don't have enough money to be based and tell all comers to fuck off. Money hasn't given my life meaning. Money didn't improve my relationship with people around me. The materialist thesis is clearly wrong. Money is a vehicle of getting to other things, not an end.

No, I think he legitimately believes it. He's just delusional enough to think that reducing the human condition to a handful of abstract metrics then making those go up somewhat is enough to demonstrate the great progress of liberal democracy. I imagine similar things were said during the european colonial period.

There are two ways of hanging, either suspension hanging where the blood and air flow in the neck is cut off, or drop hanging which aims to break the spinal cord. Of course if you jump off from too great a height you might be decapitated instead.
