The flowchart was amusing, though perhaps a little over the top with the choices. Jokes about murder and suicide seem like they clash with the more serious tone of the article a bit.
Seriously though, this sort of thing is about as bad an idea as pretending to be dying of cancer on Facebook/a personal blog, especially when the internet makes it very easy to expose liars.
- probably_wrong 10y agoI didn't read the arrows about suicide as a joke. I read it as "if you are not desperate enough to consider suicide, then your situation is not bad enough to warrant faking your death". Or maybe I'm just reading too much between the lines.
- Bartweiss 10y agoI got the same idea, plus an implication of "if you're not worried about morality, this is still really hard". I imagine lastingly faking your death is often harder than getting away with murder.
- CM30 10y agoThat's definitely one way of looking at it. Which is a fair point. However, I worry it's implying suicide or murder as 'better' choices than faking your own death. Which is an incredibly disturbing thought.
- alexmorenodev 10y agoActually those "jokes" were made to try to prevent you from thinking about all this proccess.
