I mean, you could try to talk him out of it when you go get the TV.

[–] antonim@lemmy.world 119 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Talk him out of it, but take the TV anyway.

[–] Spezi@feddit.org 38 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Imagine a movie where somebody wants to get a TV from a suicidal person and they become best friends while he comes to pick it up.

[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Plot twist, the tv is a cursed item that cause the owner to decide to kill themselves. If you can get someone to take it from you before dawn you no longer want to kill yourself. They have 24hrs.

I'd read this story

[–] ikidd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And take the chance he decides he needs the TV after all?

No thanks.

At that point he was suicidal anyway nobody would ever know it was you

I'll pass. LG software sucks.

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It’s perfectly fine if you don’t let it online.

[–] felbane@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

But whenever you do, the need to rhyme takes over you.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago

Oh I guess I rhymed there didn't I? Yes yes I did.
^oh^ ^me^ ^oh^ ^my^

[–] Francislewwis@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Dark humor aside, the are you okay? comment is the only correct first response. Check on people before checking the TV specs.

[–] Hawke@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Seems pointless, they stated up front that they’re not okay.

[–] jve@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

the only correct first response.

Yeah, definitely good to make sure whether or not the suicidal person is “okay.”

How else would you know?

Dark humor aside, the correct first response is generally just to let them know you are there and ready to support them however they need. Encourage them to seek help.

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The correct first response when someone has past the point of hiding it is NOT to just say your there for them

Its to go FUCKING TO THEM AND ACTUALLY BE THERE.

This said as someone who's tried twice. People just mouthing the fucking words "I'm here if you need" is what drove me to one attempt. Its a meaningless worth set of words that does nothing.

Its just further enforcing the fact no ones actually there to help and it's all just charades so people can feel better about themselves.

Cause if they actually cared they would come actually try to stop me right? No one ever did.

Its fucking WORTHLESS to say shit. Saying shit is free. Go FUCKING be there for people. Connections are the only thing that keep us tethered. Make them worth holding on to and not sure fleating worthless shitty fucking empty words.

[–] jve@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

What would you recommend for somebody for which going to be with them physically is not an option?

Hope you’re in a better place these days.

Only? Where do you live in, the batcave?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Last time I was in Costco, that was the smallest size they had.

[–] eli@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Well yeah, it's Costco.

You have a Costco membership for bulk savings.

You can save by buying bulk because you have the space/storage at home for it.

If you have the space for bulk, you probably also have the space for a big ass TV.

Makes zero sense for Costco to carry small TVs.

If you don't have space at home, you can't buy bulk, so there's no point having a Costco membership.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

my dude i paid off my costco membership in one gas tank

[–] Lupo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Dem hotdogs, chicken bakes, and fat ass pizzas

Had an expired card after a while, walked in and out of the food court with it all the time.

[–] swab148@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 days ago

Idk, buying "in bulk" nowadays is just getting the bigger sizes you don't normally see at other stores. When I first heard about it, I was imagining you could buy pallets of stuff on the cheap, really it's more like you can get a double sized box of whatever (limit 4 per customer).

[–] ExtremeUnicorn@feddit.org 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Is that.. good or bad? I can’t tell.

I just read that as "it could be OLED with logos/UI burnt in and not much lifetime left"..

[–] OozingPositron@feddit.cl 1 points 2 days ago

A used AMOLED doesn't sound like a good deal, but for free?

Somehow I feel like you would be thrown in jail if you did this.

They'd just shoot you during the wellness check in America

[–] lyralycan@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Everything's great in America!

Honestly I'd prefer Ba Sing Se

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago (2 children)

because in the US you can't kill yourself. if you try and fail you'll be charged with a crime.

corpses don't generate profit. you will work until you die of "natural causes".

[–] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz 7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Fortunately, suicide by cop is a sure thing. Point a pencil in their direction and they'll empty a clip on you.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 7 points 3 days ago

Their aim sucks though, so have fun recovering in the ER where they won't let you die.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Just don't attempt to assassinate the president. Or else you risk getting arrested and having your shirt taken off, it's all just a really uncomfortable interaction and not worth it.

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Still fine to go get the TV, though, yeah? I'm trying to complete my home theatre setup

OMG do you wanna be whale cum too? I've heard that our oceans are absolutely full of it so I suppose there's plenty to go around.

[–] realitaetsverlust@piefed.zip 7 points 3 days ago

If I'd take every "I'm gonna kill myself" post online serious, my life would be very very worrysome.

[–] GhostFace@lemmy.today 3 points 3 days ago

I would handle it this way. I was really selfish and could do things suddenly when I was younger. There are definitely certain things I'd want to get in order before doing it.
