nostupidquestions No Stupid Questions Every show with a suicide now has a disclaimer with a suicide hotline at the beginning. Is there any evidence that these warnings make a positive difference?

    Suicide comes in many different flavors. The most common in my limited experience is desperation. If you are so utterly desperate for literally anyone to listen to you, I don't see how it would hurt. Especially since there's such a positive stigma surrounding the hotline. I personally know a couple of people that the hotline helped.

    Because the show writers are the same that wrote the game, last of us has a very strong advantage. They can't deviate from the plot and key elements because they are too invested in it. But they can change what they feel like is weaker, or wouldn't work as well in a show format. And its really noticable if you played both the game and the show. They've discussed how they already planned it to be a two season series, but they also mentioned if they have enough inspiration and they can figure out a way to make a third season that stays within the spirit of the story line, and they honestly enjoy it then they will.

    With the first season being as good as it was, I have complete and utter faith in them.

    "Next" refers to the occurrence that follows the current. "This" means the occurrence that is present. I'm regards to days, it usually follows a week to week basis, Monday through Saturday.

    If its Friday and I say "this Saturday" it's referring to the Saturday in the current week. Tomorrow. "Next Saturday" would be 8 days later.

    Sound isn't dependent on whether someone hears it, but instead IF someone could hear it. IF a person was around, you would hear it. A sound wave doesn't come into being just because you happened to be around. It'll exist regardless if you are capable of hearing it or not.

    Thats a bit of a glass heart take. I, personally, don't think animals should suffer before they're slaughtered. They should live happy lives up until then. But we're predators just like any other carnivore.

    The only difference is that we have stronger emotions and the ability to consider the consequences of our actions as well as empathy for other beings.

    But if you like meat, you're not being a baby. If anything it's the opposite. You care less about the animals than the meat it comes from. And I don't think that's wrong. That's just evolution.

    We're such strong predators, that the majority of humans will never even kill their prey. We cage animals and slaughter them to feed our masses. And as long as we do that ethically (which we're not. I'll admit that), I don't think it's a bad thing, it's nature.

    You wouldn't deny a lion it's prey, so why berate fellow humans for the same thing? Instead the focus should be on ethical and sustainable ranching and farming.

    Personally I feel like it happens less often. The Catholic Church really have a reputation. I've only ever heard 'altar boy' to mean a young boy who's being groomed and taken advantage of. I have no fucking clue what an altar boy really is.

    Whoever it definitely still happens with protestants. Usually with youth pastors (surprise, surprise).

    He didnt threaten her with murder. He wrote a song expressing his emotions. He exaggerated how he felt to the fullest extent.

    I once told my dog that I wanted to eat her cause of how cute she is. I'm afraid to tell you that cause you just might think I run around eating pets just because I think they're cute.

    Because it's more nuance than that?

    It's not to be taken at face value. This song is about a man who struggles with addiction. He's stuck in a relationship with a nasty person all for the sake of his daughter. He's rapping with raw emotions.

    You not supposed to listen to it and be like "ah fuck yeah. Murder is cool". You're supposed to listen to it and feel the same emotions he feels, which is vehement rage and desperation.

    North America*. Besides that, people often group Canadians and Americans together quite often. The two countries are very similar culturally. I have seen it become more and more common to say North Americans when talking about things culturally. When it comes to politics or the specific country itself, of course it makes sense to separate them.

    People may think he's crazy, but part of psychedelics is hypersensitivity. I doubt he could actually see in the dark and smell landmines, but his brain probably recognized very small details and fabricated hallucinations based on what little he did pick up on.

    The US has built its empire on convenience. There's plenty of solid brands out there, but the biggest and well known are the companies that cut corners and quantity so they can keep prices low. And us US citizens just eat that shit up.

    Amish style butter is some of the best butter I've ever had. You can find it all over the place in the Midwest and Amish heavy states.

    If you don't use YouTube, you're also screwing over the content creators you enjoy. You can cause harm to a company in many ways. Stop using a site prevents them from making money off of you. Preventing them from actively making money off of you while you're still using the site actively takes money away from them. It is double sided sword because you're also not actively supporting that content creator. However, if they don't have another platform to post on, you can instead buy merch, donate, or simply help the algorithm boost their content by watching their content.

    I don't disagree with you. YouTube should no longer be a viable business. Something else should step in and rival them. But since that doesn't look like it's going to happen, I'll be happy running adblocks, and letting them not recoup their server and operation costs from me.

    Just from what I found, swamps are wetlands with woody vegetation being what DOMINATLY inhibits it. So if it's mixed, find out what there is more of. If it's 50/50, I guess the universe collapses.

    And a wetland with a neutral ph is just called a neutral wetland.

    This is the craziest rhetoric I've ever heard. People love hearing interests from a fanatics perspective. If you have an almost unhealthy interest in something, test the waters. See how much the recipient is interested in hearing you talk about this, and if they are, go all out. I've learned so many interesting and niche things I never would have by engaging with people with hyper fixated interests.

    The smell of weed has always been abhorrent to me. A true blooded alcoholic reeks like shit too, but most casual drinkers, or even alcoholics that care enough to still have good hygiene, don't smell nearly as bad to me.

    But to each their own and whatnot.
