    My closest family member ate his own gun when I was in my early 20s.

    Its something that always fucked with me, especially knowing he never got to know me as the woman I am. That his partner is left widowed to figure out the rest of her life on her own in her late 50’s.

    I say this because I want everyone to understand the gravity of the meaning when I say I would have trouble not telling that person to fucking dome themselves.

    The idea of the machine being used to take your job being used for THAT.

    Like I get its not the right thing to say morally because that person probably has a laundry list of their own problems, but actually fuck them that’s ghoulish as shit.

      no one cares about why your secret crush/cousin didn’t see you “blossom” beyond the age of 20 🥴

      suggesting to someone to kill themselves is immoral. you could’ve kept that suggestion to close family members who have/have yet to see you “blossom”.

      fuck me, you are a nut job.

        Actually it was my dad dickhole, was just trying to keep details low.

        I never got to come out to him as trans because I hadn’t yet entirely figured it out, its a very large regret of mine that my dad knew me only as his son.

        Dealing with that while taking care of an ageing mother who constantly over-works herself as the sole member of her household.

        Add two older siblings that decided to use their headstart to run off literally 1000s of miles away so they could throw the issue onto my plate and lock me into a town I don’t want to live in…

        Point being? Its been rough.

        And yes, some people on this planet aren’t worth the oxygen they waste. Sorry to tell ya.

          Honestly I that’s what I thought from context due to “closest family member”, your mention of his partner, and the ages would match. But clearly that’s not of interest to someone eager to project all their own issues onto you.

          I’m so glad you got to figure out the person you are, and incredibly sorry you couldn’t share this with your dad. All the best to you and your mom.

          Want to say that officialy? So many people are dishonest about this.

          Want to list the types of people that “aren’t worth the oxygen?”

            GOP politicians, corporate execs, basically the entirety of the billionaire class

            Shit, I could just say the monsters mentioned in the Epstein files and I think we’d cover most of that and then some.

            I do believe all life, especially sentient life, has deep inherit value. There are things people can do however, to lose that value.

            Those kind of people typically don’t see themselves as those kind of people, but rather they see themselves as above everyone else.

            I have no fucking clue who you are, but there are statistically several people who would be upset to the point of being sick if you seriously had committed suicide.

            Trust me, I know.

              I have accomplished a lot. By most people’s metrics I’m successful. But I’m tired, burnout, and pissed about it. I can’t stand myself. No need to struggle just to have the opportunity to struggle another day and get more burnout and miserable and taint the vibes of those around me.

        Nobody said “blossom” but you, so it’s weird you keep saying it in quotation marks as if it’s something OP said. Imagine for a moment that women are people, not sex objects, and re-read what she said. Consider how much emotional and mental growth people go through in their 20s and beyond. We don’t know what OP was like as a young 20-something nor what she went through in life since then, but there are so many ways people can change and grow into themselves, to become proud of the adult they’ve become.

        Just because she said “woman” instead of “adult” doesn’t mean there’s any sexual intent, and it’s frankly fucked up that simply indicating her gender is enough to put your mind into the gutter.

          Yeah my mom died in my early 20s and she got to see the beginning of my transition, but it’s been a real struggle over the years the fact that she didn’t get to see me get my shit together, get therapy, get married etc. To know that someone you love didn’t get to see who you’ve become is painful. I know the rest of my family feels similarly.

          except saying that person should kill themselves is kinda fucked too. i feel for the voice actor, and i also don’t think people deserve to die because they can’t differentiate reality and fantasy and behaved inappropriately.

            I didn’t say they should, I said I’d have a hard time not having that be my first gut reaction if I where that VA.

            Doesn’t mean I think they should. This person needs therapy, and some of their accounts deleted, not suicide.

            Maybe, but I like to see the max spipping off, so we know this is a feature.

            They are def right about the Epstein class. They were just so persistently outright evil, they could have stopped and retired any time, and they are actively killing people even now, and creating planet-wide misery.

            As for the delusional guy, asylums used to exist, we tore them down for some reason.
