If it wasn't the legal system it would have been literally any other reason, big or small, that Aaron felt was terminally wrong with his life.

- icelancer 13y agoThis is incredibly insulting. How could you possibly know this?
- benologist 13y agoBecause depressed, suicidal people kill themselves, usually when they're not facing prison? In 2007 Schwartz posted what was believed to be a suicide note after being fired from reddit: http://digitaljournal.com/article/341150 http://digitaljournal.com/article/341150
- icelancer 13y agoYou could have easily said "I don't know that for sure" instead of posting irrelevant information.

- serf 13y agoRight.. but people tend to become depressed and suicidal when faced with prison time. Being fired is also high on the depression list. You're pointing out two dark moments in someones life. I've had far more than two and I don't by any means consider myself depressed.
- mpyne 13y ago> I've had far more than two and I don't by any means consider myself depressed. That's actually the point... it is depression that kills, not merely subjecting someone to a "dark moment" in their life. We wouldn't have blamed Alexis and the rest of Team Reddit if Aaron had killed himself after being fired, we would have blamed his depression.
- PhasmaFelis 13y agoObviously false, or he would've killed himself years ago over someone buying the wrong kind of toilet paper. Seriously, please educate yourself before offering embarrassing opinions. Clinical depression does not mean automatic suicide, it just makes you more prone to considering suicide when things are bad.
