Died by suicide?
Suicide is a self-inflicted act; committed suicide is correct - and I say this as a man living on the edge.
To diminish that is to refuse to accept the underlying cause, which is a bad fucking way to stop it from happening again (or at least to someone else).
This whole damned list is retarded.
Most of the elements aren't even accurate; they're euphemisms.
Someone with OCD isn't 'detail-oriented' they're detail obsessed.
> walk-in: Ableist language that trivializes the experiences of people living with disabilities.
Come on. Seriously? Anyone who is offended by that is offended for a hobby.

- too-real-4-u 4y agoWorse: you are taking “non-confrontational” pills like many of your peers. The insanity is real, that no one confronts and tries to stymie the madness is the true disease.
- kgwgk 4y agoWhat about using "brainy" or referring to functioning brains at all? It perpetuates the myth that anencephaly is abnormal or negative.
- _Algernon_ 4y ago"Commit suicide" has the same vibes as "masturbation is self-rape". It doesn't make sense, as an act against oneself is by definition happening with consent. They're both acts of bodily autonomy.

- oxfeed65261 4y agoI think you have a point, but on the other hand consider “stand-up meeting.” If my team included a person who used a wheelchair, I am highly confident that my team and I would not call our daily scrum a daily stand-up.
- yarg 4y agoHonestly, I think people in wheelchairs have more important shit to worry about. Fucked bodies - but they have to be tough as nails mentally. (And stop doing scrum.)
