I agree with this in theory but telling people who struggle with suicidal tendencies that they’re being selfish and cowardly is a very ungracious and unhelpful sentiment. Yes, suicide harms more people than just those who take their own lives, and that hurt should be noted. Still, insulting and belittling them does nothing helpful for anyone involved and can easily further wound an already poor self image, which can in turn lead them to further believe they are isolated or unworthy of love, common reasons for suicidality.

suicidal people need and deserve grace, care, gentleness, and emotional support, not belittlement and bitter treatment. anger and hostility is never the right way to respond to those who are hurting and need help.

if you are feeling suicidal, talk to someone openly and earnestly about it. please. you are more capable and more worthy of love than you realize. stay alive.

I don’t have time to run an election, but am willing to hand over this account to someone else to run it. But this raises the question of should the election happen this year (in a month). Here are some options.

• We have an election this year

• We don’t have it this year (maybe next year)

• We make kyletech president

Reminder that you have less than 10 hours to announce your candidacy for President.

The government has been buffed, but you can only figure out what laws changed through trial and error. Good luck
