I want to know too. Can someone EILI5 for me? If I let this thing scan my eye, what’s the worst that could happen? And how is it worse than all the rest of my info that is out there?

For what it’s worth, the times I’ve been closest to suicide I no longer expressed it as “I want to die” it was “I can’t live anymore”. I know it sounds pedantic but for me it’s a good indicator of when I’m having a bad depressive episode vs when I’m a suicide risk. Wanting to die means you still care enough to want something, if that make sense? When I can’t bring myself to care about life, death, my loved ones, anything at all, that’s when I need help asap. Everyone is different of course, I just thought it might be worth sharing in case someone reading this recognises that apathy in a loved one.

Are you referring to me as “selfish” “prick” “childish” “dishonest” “stupid” and unenlightened?

That was a really well written response and I enjoyed your insight. As for why I took personally - I was just having a bad day/week/month. Life is really fucking hard right now.

It’s true that for an average Brit, eating beef 3x a week is worse for the environment in a year than their annual holiday to Greece.

But billionaires aren’t just taking “a few private flights” they’re taking flights more often than I eat meat in the first place.

I’ve cut down on meat and my water and electricity usage, I haven’t been on a plane in 10 years. I use the car about once a month. I recycle, reuse, repurpose, I very very rarely buy new things. I’m chronically ill and living in fuel poverty. I’m anaemic ffs. How much more are the poor expected to do when then rich do nothing?

So would cracking down on the unnecessary private flights billionaires take.

I’ve come across this guy before. He gets super angry about people using /s too. He needs a hug.

I guess the whole thing could be structurally unsound now without it being visible from these photos.

It’s a bit like why we started naming storms in the UK - so people would take them more seriously.

Your kid sounds excellent - good work!

My mum has just been diagnosed with terminal cancer aged 61. I know people lose their parents much earlier, but I am furious that she worked so hard her entire life just to die before she reached retirement.

Just in case anyone is still taking hydroxychloroquine preemptively (and uselessly) to prevent covid, please stop. I’ve been taking it as intended for lupus for years but it’s permanently damaged my eyesight. Blindness is a rare but real side effect if you take it for a long time.

I love tennis and I’ve grown to like Pegula a lot. I’m not sure the child of billionaires is the best person to weigh in on this debate though.
