> Minor issue that I usually see in how people talk about suicide: I don't like it when someone talks about suicide as something that must be prevented at all times, presupposing that it is never a valid decision. It is patronizing.
Right!? For example, I don’t want to be put in an old people’s home to rot when I am old. Sooner would I kill myself. And for someone to likely say then that I am confused because I am old and that it is not right to let me kill myself or to help me end my life: Fuck you, future people, I wrote this comment in 2021 when I was 30 years old and if I decide in the future that I don’t want to live anymore then you damn well better let me end my life and not try to “save me” against my will.
