  • Hey Guest,

    Today, OFCOM launched an official investigation into Sanctioned Suicide under the UK’s Online Safety Act. This has already made headlines across the UK.

    This is a clear and unprecedented overreach by a foreign regulator against a U.S.-based platform. We reject this interference and will be defending the site’s existence and mission.

    In addition to our public response, we are currently seeking legal representation to ensure the best possible defense in this matter. If you are a lawyer or know of one who may be able to assist, please contact us at [email protected].

"suffering builds character"
Some people can get motivation from suffering and build character. For many people, suffering tears them down. Actually, I think that's most people, it's just that the ones with survivorship bias have the loudest voice. If suffering was good and built character then we'd be the greatest people in the world. Real life isn't like a movie where we always overpower the struggles and become an awesome person. That happens some of the time, for some people.

Definitely- I agree. Either gradual increments in difficulty or at least being in a supportive environment. Sadly, life doesn't usually pan out like that. Quite often, all the overwhelming shit happens at once and you find yourself alone trying to cope with it.
That was exactly what happened to me, and I suspect to most people on here. Multiple suffering-inducing events happened all at once and I didn't have a social support network to lean on, so I just crumbled (hence "Already half-crushed to death" below my username).
