Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

You mean you chose to be born?
I mean, technically, you are given with a chance to kill yourself every single moment. The reason why you’re alive is because you choose to continue living.
But yeah, I didn’t have the option not to be born. I would’ve probably selected not to if I knew the world is this shitty and fucked. Lol.
It's all obvious yeah. We (choose to) live mostly because we don't have those powers to know how shitty and fucked the world is going to become in the future. Some even realize they build their own future.
Me, I think you are free to do anything with your life. But you are most likely missing a lot if you think the best thing to do is to end yourself, at any point.
There’s a lot of missing life even with living.
By habit, a lot of people will choose to see the negatives at all times and complain about those negatives meanwhile the good people and positives pass by uncounted.
Not saying that’s a reason to die but it isn’t exactly observing your life honestly and without toxifying it.seems a wasted life in both accounts.
maybe
to choose you’d have to be alive to make choice which is the paradox with that idea.
Yeah, which means there’s no way you can choose not to be born
I will never forgive my parents for not asking me for my consent

Fantastic charity/advocacy group there too.
They seem to distance themself from anything in sarco-pod territory, though.
Not much help when you're "not suffering enough" but can't get what you need. And things are only going to get worse in the near future.
