  • Suicide seems pretty extreme. Also, I don’t like suicide being suggested, even in jest, because you never know if someone on the other end just needed a tiny nudge to go through with it.

    Alternatives off the top of my head:

    • Move to a country without taxes. On the other hand, other than tax loopholes for the super rich, many of us living with US-level or above standard of living are unlikely to be happy in a country that does not collect taxes.

    • Alternatively, you could set up a Star Trek-style system without the use of money in daily living, but that’s going to be a tall order.

    It is tradition in my family that we watch Halloween/scary movies on one long weekend in October each year. We eat yummy food and candy. We sleep on an air mattress in the living room. I guess we may stop if my kids protest when they get older, but not all traditions are bad or harken back to the dead, or even our parents. My wife and I started this when it was just the two of us, and we’ve continued with our kids. Everyone loves it.







  • I had to block so much yiff when I first joined Lemmy. I knew it was out there, but I didn’t realize just how much until Lemmy. Maybe I blocked it gradually over time at Reddit and didn’t realize how much it was in total, but I felt like there wasn’t as much there.

    I try not to judge their journey, but I have no need to join them on it.
