[quote]Go see a psychiatrist pronto.[/quote] Unfortunately I can't. Due to our messed up health care system in this country my medical insurance was tied to my employer who laid me and a few thousand other people off in October. I'm still on their insurance but only until the end of the year, the...

[quote]This area is a lot more difficult and nuanced than the type my thread was about - which was more along the lines of clearly a person would be dying soon and so they choose to end on their own terms instead of having months in pain, not enjoying life, burning through their entire life savings ...

[quote]A friend of my sister's did that not too long ago. He had an inoperable brain tumor and was wasting away, so he decided on an assisted suicide to end his suffering. He lived in Canada, so I don't know what the restrictions are there, but I know it's much harder to find states in the US whe...

[quote]I feel like it legit hurts the idea of work/life balance by removing the physical/psychological barrier between where work is and where your home life is[/quote] I can see this and this is definitely why if I did Remote Work/Work From Home I would set up a separate office space that would ...

[quote]find a law Stateside that says a person that commits suicide will be charged[/quote] Again I would argue it's illegal until someone can go to a doctor/therapist/psychiatrist, be honest about what they're feeling and not have to risk being incarcerated against their will.

[quote]is it though?[/quote] Can someone go to a doctor/therapist/psychiatrist and tell them they're going to end it without ending up in the psychiatric ward of a hospital against their will for at least 3 days? Yeah I would still say it's illegal. Plus even if you do succeed in doing it you ...

[quote]Social interaction can easily be replaced by eliminating the 3-4 hours a day you used to spend commuting, getting dressed, meal prepping, dicking off at the water cooler with coworkers, scrolling through TD at work, etc. and replacing it with joining a club, gym, rec league, organization etc ...

[quote]I think it depends on the person. If you're an extrovert and live by yourself, it's going to be gross. For me living alone and working all day from the house and then being here all evening gets old. I'm fairly introverted, but I have definitely felt starved for interaction this year. I've al...

[quote]I get it, but have you ever tried nomad life? Fun at first, feel like a ghost after a while. Takes a certain type, nothing wrong with it. I think the value would be more in visiting CA or NY or wherever for a week or two without having to take vacay, but after a while you will probably want s...

[quote]How did he kept his same zip code???[/quote] Why wouldn't he? It's a cell number, not a land line. I know someone else who moved from New Mexico to NYC to work as a flight attendant at Delta and she still has her original cell number with her New Mexico zip code. ...
