2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

MODERATORS
This kind of edgy comment has no place in real discussion, because of you were serious about it, you wouldn't be able to post it because you'd be dead.
Your comment demeans and trivializes suicidal ideation.
Committing suicide isn't as easy as you apparently think it is.
I am a survivor of suicide, which is why I take this kind of tripe seriously.
Throwing doubts about how serious people are about suicide is important. Wanting to kill yourself is a sign of an illness, not a position one reasons themselves into.
I'm sorry you've experienced that.
I have CPTSD which if you or anyone reading doesn't know is continued, long term traumatic experiences. I'm much older than my "edgy" comments seem at 42. My life experience has led to my illness, but reorganizing and unraveling the knot of that experience has led to this view of life not being something I'm happy to have to continue. The real kicker is that having stripped away the "life is worth living" propaganda has given me some peace. However, there isn't anything on this planet that is more corrosive than happy people telling you to be happy.
If it gives you peace, I am happy for that. I hope we can agree to disagree and see that we both have positive intent.
