  Life is a terminal illness after all.
  Especially with the right amounts of hookers and cocaine.
context: What is the actual purpose of this other than to once again have the spotlight on you and get everyone talking about you? >
  
  The media is reporting the suicide part because it's good bait, but this is the whole feature that warns about covid misinformation, too. Which has been annoying him for sure as he's been tweeting Fauci conspiracies. >
  
  But very rarely does a feature like this have to be removed to be changed. >
  
  You see this same kind of thing in politics all the time. If you wanna do something that will make you look bad (remove misinformation warnings) then do 2 bad things (suicide prevention and misinformation warning) and “walk back” the bonus shitty thing. You still get the shitty thing done but now the news cycle is “_ walks back on ” instead of “_ does ”
  Trump admin did this constantly. >
  
  Oh you mean the "Cock-Thumb" thing.. >
  
  Stay tuned for tomorrow where he back peddles again and we get a shiny new thread! >
  
  Tomorrow: “Suicide prevention will only be for Twitter blue subscribers” >
  
  He's already discussed getting rid of more ads and getting rid of the new feature that shows how many people saw your tweet on Twitter Blue. Basically, if you enjoyed Twitter well enough before he took over, you need to pay $9 or $12 a month depending on how you use Twitter (on app or desktop) >

  If I'm required to pay anything above $0.00 to have the luxury of using Twitter, I would rather gouge my eyeballs out. Even though there are still peeps I like to see what they're posting, at this point in the game I'm more just there with my popcorn to see how bad this "genius" f@ck$ this thing up more than he already has. >
  
  I pay 0.00 today to not have anything to do about Twitter. >
  
  I pay $0.00/month for FB, and FB is some janky scum trash
  I guess FB is objectively $8/month better than Twitter now by comparison
  Also, less suicide judging on FB! That's a feather in your e-cap, zuck 👌 >
  
  That’s because Facebook isn’t a service it’s a data harvesting machine. You’re not the customer, you’re the product. >
  
  I assume you say the same about Apple and Twitter? Because blue, no data harvesting? >
  
  Oh no, the same is true of all social media companies for sure- I’m just saying the fact that it’s free doesn’t make it a better service to use >
  
  Just one of those "unnecessary microservices," I'm sure. >
  
  Disabling it allowed us to HTTP some of our Firewalls, and SSL some of our FTPs and SFTPs. Overall performance to the user is down, but incoming R2D2s and SSHs are up, which means in the long run, users will see more return on their SEO. >
  
  Are the C3POs and T-1000s up or down? >
  
  C-3PO are being taken out next, replace with a legacy BB8 system like in the late 90’s/early 2000’s. T1000’s are overkill. Going to switch over to TI-83’s. >
  
  NCC-1701 or NCC-1701D? >
  
  N. C. C... One. Seven. Oh. One. 
  No bloody A, B, C, or D. >
  
  I understood that reference dot gif >
  
  Good so now Twitter can go kill itself? >
  
  In game. >
  
  In the game >
  
  EA Sports, It's >
  
  It's only game. Why you heff to be mad? >
  
  I used to be incredulous about how effective measures like this we're in suicide prevention. That was until I started working in mental health. I've heard so many people tell me that when they're googling how many pills to take, etc.,  that that message is what gives them the second they need to think about what they're planning and reconsider their options. It's a shame to see it removed from Twitter. >
  
  Suicide prevention is a "game" of economies, it's about buying time to give someone to calm down. When I learned crisis intervention, one of the most effective questions in the hypothetical "about to jump in front of a train" call is "tell me what's going on". You have to give people time and alternatives to stop them from turning towards permanent fixes for temporary feelings, to use the cliche >
  
  God, what a harrowing thing to a read. This is why I finished my Psychology degree with the intent to treat Eating Disorders as a specialty. 
  Then I started reading the stats about how likely a patient is to be lost and I hard-shifted out of that entire life because I don't think I could handle losing someone like that. 
  Now I work in Video Games and don't have to worry about anyone dying on my watch. :( >
  
  I remember reading a post where someone said they wanted to die, but wanted to wait until the release of a game they wanted to play.  Later, after they played the game and some time had passed, they realized they didn't want to die anymore.  So making a video game could help save lives :) >
  
  It's like a character in Bojack Horseman that says he was suicidal, but  the Knicks were having a good season and he wanted to see it out. >
  
  The View from Halfway Down is one of the best episodes of Television ever IMO. >
  
  That episode was so genuinely disturbing. 0_0 >
  
  I think that was the point. I've been told that when you're in a suicidal mindset that episode really captured the feeling. >
  
  Musk: "If they die, they die." >
  
  Many of you will die. But that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. >
  
  Ever since I can remember, I always knew I deserved to be dead!
