Ugh…Just laying on that couch… Can’t defeat natural causes with a wooden stake.

Thinking this through, they probably filled the car with gas until they couldn’t breathe and then hit the firework mortar to set it all off. Also gives them a higher chance of ending it all then, as opposed to the “oops, all fire!” version, which would have been a lingering way to go.

Yes, I understand the difference between communicable and noncommunicable disease.

The point is that media also rarely talk about these things, and people are not great at taking steps to mitigate their risk. Lots of things we can prevent, or not, still cause us lasting harm. But because those things are mundane, they are not clickbait-y enough to warrant regular coverage.

Me after a restart following a seemingly harmless package update:

“Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!”

That’s not a Centrist viewpoint at all. That’s a solidly right viewpoint.

The Centrist would, however, say “look, if you’re going to make your whole vibe about tolerance, that’s cool. I love it. But my homie, that’s a slippery slope you haven’t fully negotiated yet. So when your less disciplined people start to be big picture tolerant through on-paper intolerance, don’t expect me to do the same mental gymnastics to defend it that you do with your mom at Thanksgiving. How about you solve the problem before you create it by not being sloppy and bumbling your way into an obvious trap every bully has pulled since the dawn of time?”

But hey, as a Centrist, the Left can’t discern me from someone like Bush 43 or a raging MAGA freak because anything right of far left is a legit fascist. Which is why I cant hang with you all, your labels are weird. But the Right usually wants to hang me for being a traitor, so one of y’all is far more worth dealing with occasional cringe.

Once years ago when I used to smoke, on was visiting Ghana and people were literally yelling at me for smoking in public. It’s illegal to smoke in public in a few African countries at this point IIRC.

This is the actual analysis the infographic should present. The ratio of income to debt is more revealing. All of Alabama can be up to their eyes in debt and this would miss that fact simply because their average income is lower.

Simply having dollar figures means practically nothing other than for a few smooth-brained people to look at the state where they live, see a number that isn’t as much as they owe, and sigh that it could be worse.

There are reports of a firework mortar and gas canister in the back. Looks very intentional and showy from the video. Stupid way to end one’s life, but that was part of it I think as well.
