  1. The Sum of Awe

    Meal prepping safety

    I'm thinking about taking out the mushrooms. They aren't slimy nor do they smell (from what I can tell) but they taste off. It could be my imagination, but better safe than sorry. How about the other ingredients?

    Meal prepping safety

    I can meal prep ahead for three days making my salads. I oven roast some chicken breast and divide it into three containers. I then mix veggies into three other containers: spinach, mushrooms, diced onions, diced garlic, cheese, and black olives. These are all in sealed airtight plastic...

    Its not euthanasia, its suicide.

    I suppose my point is the same as it's been since the beginning: that that isn't a worthy trade for the cons it causes, that by aiding people in killing themselves (when they have functional lives) essentially turns into promoting it. A whole wave of people ready to give up will roll over on...

    Its not euthanasia, its suicide.

    You’re right that I don’t know her, but from the article it appears she has her life together to some functional degree. If someone like this is allowed to kill themselves, the line will only get thinner and thinner.

    Its not euthanasia, its suicide.

    Cows appear calm before the slaughterhouse.
  6. The Sum of Awe

    Its not euthanasia, its suicide.

    I acknowledged that. I don’t think it outweighs the cons of letting this become commonplace.
  7. The Sum of Awe

    Its not euthanasia, its suicide.

    It’s these doctors that determined a perfectly healthy woman, who is only 28, and has a functioning lifestyle, to be fit for suicide. It doesn’t seem like very secure boundaries to me. And it would never be proven, because anyone who went through with euthanasia and regretted as they slipped...

    Its not euthanasia, its suicide.

    Then they will. Why do we need euthanasia?
  9. The Sum of Awe

    Its not euthanasia, its suicide.

    I’m sure there are a lot of times when a suicidal person doesn’t even truly understand death, and that’s not the same as not fearing it. People like that would easily slip through the cracks if euthanasia for mental illness becomes commonplace. And for suicidal people that do understand death...
  10. The Sum of Awe

    Its not euthanasia, its suicide.

    It becomes too accessible, more will do it. Keeping dying difficult and repulsive like it should be (death should not be taken lightly, a fear of death is healthy), that will show people that suicidal ideation can be survived. Yes
  11. The Sum of Awe

    Its not euthanasia, its suicide.

    To me it means mental health science is throwing in the flag. "There's nothing else we can do for you" just doesn't sound like something a professional psychiatrist would say, when there could be plenty of others who would have not given up supporting her in the best way possible. Another thing...
  12. The Sum of Awe

    Its not euthanasia, its suicide.

    What concerns me is that, should every single person who wants to commit suicide be allowed to without question? There are so many people who've turned their life around after a good fight, many years later, and appreciated life even more afterwards. If we allow anyone who's suicidal to do this...
  13. The Sum of Awe

    Its not euthanasia, its suicide.

    If someone is determined to destroy their own life, they will one way or another. But medical doctors participating and allowing this treatment option without rebuttal? In an indirect way, it seems they're encouraging it by telling people "Yeah, it's okay to do this. Not only will we not stop...

    If you had psychokinesis what would do with it?

    I would use it to become the ultimate ding-dong-ditch master. I'd do a whole block of houses at once.

    Are orgasms a foretaste of Heaven?

    From what I've heard, that would mean Heaven tastes pretty salty.

    How to not worry about People's Opinion of you

    I would like to add another perspective: anxiety is natural and healthy in certain degrees. Instead of not worrying what people think of you, you could embrace that worrying is okay but work to lessen how much you worry about that (e.g. you can worry about it and try to learn from it, which is...
  17. The Sum of Awe

    Its not euthanasia, its suicide.

    The same reason most people would try to talk a loved one out of it. Because life is valuable, and people who are thinking of these things aren't being rational in their decisions. Emotional thinking is at hand here in the suicidal person, and logical thinking is at hand when we can provide...
  18. The Sum of Awe

    Its not euthanasia, its suicide.

    I think it's a good suggestion that if one person can cope with particular issues, then everybody else should learn to cope with them as well. If a person becomes paraplegic and struggles endlessly trying to cope with that, should we allow them to give up because they simply don't want to live...

    What started your spiritual path?

    What got you into religion/spirituality? Whether it's merely an interest in the topic or a devotion to a particular faith. I'd say for me, I've had an interest in the topic since I was a kid. I remember asking my parents where everything came from when I was in my single digits, and even coming...

    Is Spacetime Real?

    By predicting their behavior does that include measuring their behavior? I think spacetime mostly does that. I don't see why that makes it any less real though.
