Discussion Is a local SS meet up useful?

[Noir]

This is merely a discussion thread on this topic.

We can talk on the internet about our thoughts on ctb, but meeting up could help us on our choice in whichever way.
A SS meet up would be kinda short founded, because we are here to ctb in the near future. So there wouldn't be many meetings at all, well at least not with everyone.

What are your thought on this?

Am on the fence

Yeah there might be someone who calls the cops on a meet up, or some fraud who tries to exploit. But its the same risk as in the partner thread.

"Ah yes, hello friends, it is I, A, and I am here to sell you nombutol"

No way because it's too risky. Similar to the partners thread which already entails a significant amount of risk, a meetup with multiple people exponentially raises the risk. I also have my method and plan to ctb alone.

I'll be totally honest: if I met a very young person-- teens or early 20's-- I would want to talk them out of it or probably intervene.

I don't know if I could just sit by and respect their decision. Right or wrong, that's just me being protective, so I'm not the gal for those meetings.

 

[Angst Filled Fuck Up]

I'd be down, but not to discuss CTB, just for the lulz. Judging by this thread however, I'd be sat there by myself. Surely at least one person wants to have a drink with me?

You had me at drink, Angst.

Imo the idea is great in theory, but like others have already said there's a risk attached to things like this and there are a lot of ways it could go wrong to be honest

Sorry but I think we should hold this in a giant barn with a barrel of beer and @gingerplum doing the food

This... this works for me. Keeps everyone under 21 out and ensures the food will be top notch.

Who's making the Kool-Aid?

Is this a cult reference?

Yes it is. Too dark?

Yes it is. Too dark?

Lol no I thought my brain was dark for going there

i think it would be too risky

Governments thinking "Better get those people on the brink of suicide from finding some relief in the company of friends"

If there were some way to ensure 100% (not 99.999999%) safety in terms of trolls, law enforcement, and medical do-good-niks, I would. It's a shame because I think it could be helpful to a lot of people to have a live group where we could all meet and speak openly without reprisal, but I don't see it happening in our time.
It's the same issue with the psychiatric/therapy field where the inherent lack of openness and trust sabotages a lot of the best intentions. I would wager everything I have that those rules/laws have resulted in more people wanting to end their lives than anyone they've helped (if any at all).

I don't drink, but I could bring my PAX! ;)

There could be a group chat where we all pinky promise not to snitch

Only if those pinkies have gov't ID on file.

Yeah, I kinda feel the same way, actually.

We could all meet up and have a party with Nembutal-spiked cocktails.

Now you're talking!

 

[Jiva]

A suicide party can be a good idea. In a group i will have stronger courage. And more strong persons can help, or demonstrate right way. But if only one member will be fake, it is a terrible idea.

I think it's a bit unfair ruling out under 21s
Some of the nicest people on this site are in that catagory.

Yea but under 21 = not adult = extra risky for everyone else those under 21 could have their own

That said i'd never go honestly. Room full of people i dont really know...no thanks

Also rules seem odd here I posted a discussion about trying to meet friends and mine was locked yet here this is...oh well

Hm hm! I'll take 6. I like your handle bar mustache that you twirl sir or madam

 

[not-2-b-the-answer]

I have to agree. Not just the fact of meeting a stranger(s) from the internet.
My main reason for not doing it is because we don't know who is on here.
It could be someone thinking we need "SAVED"

 

[not-2-b-the-answer]

That was my concern.
