This was a whole lot funnier 15 hours ago.
As an Australian, i already know the results. Not going to say to avoid spoilers
Don't worry, I'm European, I won't tell them pesky Americans. You can tell me.
don't worry, soon you will also know, and it will be before us. Have a nice EOD you travellers from the future.
Yeah don't drink draino. If you feel depressed and want everything to end, try something new: small crimes (eg graffiti), starting a union, volunteer work for food bank, election volunteer, etc
Start an underground resistance, harbor repressed people in your attic/basement, etc.
I would but I'm too depressed to even leave the house most days.
Has nothing to do with the election; that's just my default behavior.
I know this is just a joke, but seriously don't kill yourself by drinking lye/drain cleaner. It a horrible death, basically slowly charing your esophagus and stomach until you die.
I might not be remembering it totally accurately but my school back in the day had some dude who attempted this come and talk to us about something, can’t remember exactly. Anyway, in order to save his life, doctors had to take his intestines and attach to his throat…OVER the rib cage. I’m pretty sure in order to eat he had to push the food down that over-the-rib intestine like trying to get the last of the toothpaste out of the tube.
What a horrible day to know how to read
For real, I just wanted to read about antics related to the American election, and homie is coming in with the “hey, I have a story about nightmare bowel reconstruction” that makes me simultaneously thankful everything is okay on my end, sad for another person, and grossed out at the same time.
I’m too exhausted for it.
My apologies
Here let me balance it out for you:

Doesn't that make it better? For those that can't read, I typed out something wonderful. Text to audio doesn't do it justice.
I remember seeing this on TV - I believe it was grill cleaner? It's been quite some years... But I remember him showing how he had to manually push food down the front of his sternum... Creepy
I saw this on TV and it lives rent-free in my head, forever. Guy indeed has to manually assist chewed food on its way down. I don't recall if he's on a special diet, has to chew the hell out of his food for lack of a stomach, or anything else like that. What was clear is that how he got there, and the way life is now, is very unpleasant.
My mom has peristalsis. That means her esophagus muscles no longer work, and so she has to have soft foods that go down really easily and has to either sit up really straight or stand up while she eats.
And I thought she had it bad.
It doesn’t just unclog your digestive tract to be like a slip n slide for your food to come ou the other end mostly intact? The media lied to me
Sooooo, the morning after is here. Please tell us you used the Drano to get a clog clear.
If you're gonna be that extreme, just become an eco-tewwowist
UwU I'm an ecow-tewwowist now :3
Someone pass me the draino right now
I thought Trump himself suggested bleach not draino.
Do you want to clean your system of COVID or not?
Instructions unclear. Tried to end it all, wound up cured of coronavirus instead.
Liquid plumber works much better to clear clogged living.
Good plan. I mean personally I'd go with a .38 - Drano is gonna hurt like a motherfucker the whole time it's killing you.
Won’t hurt as bad as four more years of Trump.
If it's only four
Poor fucking Ukriane..
Let them have a tiny glimmer of optimism in these dark days.
I think you're supposed to inject the Drano or something? Like to kill fake diseases that totally never happened... Or was that bleach?
Pretty sure it was bleach, and I'm pretty sure that the end result will be the same either way.
The different hand writing is bothering me...
Someone did the Kamala one as a standalone. Then their spouse/roommate did the Trump one to supplement it.
I thought you were supposed to inject bleach. (do I need /s?)
On one hand, lmao good meme
On the other, I genuinely wish depressed/suicidal people would dedicate their life to a random cause instead of offing themselves

Man, half the reason is that the struggle is unbearable and never ends. "Go involve yourself more in the struggle" isn't really an answer to that.

It really doesn't work that way. You can work in charity and still deal with mental illness and suicidal ideation.
Nearly every day at work or in school, or within my friend group, someone tells me I'm valued and make the world a better place. I am doing research on something important to me, getting a degree in environmental science, just did a production as stage manager and got to sew costumes to make my trans friends feel amazing on stage, and I still get home and think about blowing my brains out most days. Last winter I hospitalized myself again hoping to break the cycle of misery, and that didn't work. I'm one of the lucky suicidal people who can leave the house and interact with other humans (some of those love me, and I love back), but even that isn't a cure. Nothing has made life worth living, and after all these years I still don't know what would.
As a depressed person, where the hell am I going to find the motivation? I can nearly get myself out of bed every morning
Yeah it doesn’t work that way bro.
Take the most debilitating pain you’ve ever endured in your life, amp it up to “11”, and then live with it every single day from here until you die. 24/7.
Then when you think you might have a handle on managing it, have people like yourself make such dismissive comments on how you should dedicate your life to some “random cause” instead.
Many depressed/suicidal folks often do give themselves to a cause or calling. Depression isn't just the episodic spiral you see portrayed as depression, it's also the hard fought days where only you can see your struggle. Along with therapy, exercise, and medication, "faking it til you make it" is the treatment plan, allowing yourself the freedom to try to function and feel better. And from experience, living for others is one of the easiest ways to push yourself to make an effort.
Unless you mean "dedicate their life to a random cause" as in "at least take someone awful with you". That's generally frowned upon advice, but I definitely understand the sentiment more than I wish.
Software engineer here, that's like some of the modern open source library that's used by everyone.
