In complicated ways depression is related to suicide. If the national climate could be made depressive by mass media coverage of a depressing event (for example, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy), the suicide rate theoretically ought to increase, unless depression were not related to suicide during time of great national focus. This hypothesis was investigated by using a questionnaire survey requesting information concerning suicide rate for the period November 22–30 for the 17 years 1956–1972. Sixty-one cities were randomly selected and contacted; 29 responded. A total of 74 suicides—48 males and 26 females—were reported during the 17 years studied. The hypothesis that more suicides should have occurred during 1963 was not supported. No suicides occurred during November 22–30 in 1963, the year of the Kennedy assassination. The results were significant at the .01 level. The finding that during a time of focused national crisis fewer suicides occur coincides with the findings of Durkheim (1897/1951).

Suicide Related to the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy (1977)

I don't have sensory issues I just like to wear sunglasses and headphones everywhere all the time and if someone is talking too loud beside me in public I just start attacking them and hurting them and I can't stop. I can't stop

finding a new doctor. applying for jobs. searching for apartments. messaging used car dealers. getting your health insurance to do their job. getting a pharmacy to do their job. getting the dmv to accept the documents they told you to bring. just listing things they probably make you do in hell

theist accelerationism: the world needs to get as bad as possible as fast as possible so God is forced to intervene

atheist accelerationism: the world needs to get as bad as possible as fast as possible in order to trigger a collapse of the current economic and socio-political structure

agnostic accelerationism: nobody knows why the world needs to get as bad as possible as fast as possible

sarah laughs in god's face. moses refuses the prophetic call. jeremiah refuses the prophetic call. elijah tries to kill himself to refuse the prophetic call. jonah tries to kill himself to refuse the prophetic call. psalmist 88 tries to kill himself to refuse the prophetic call. saul goes right ahead and does kill himself. jacob sees god in the wilderness and tackles him. noah tells god he's a liar. micaiah ben imlah makes god a liar. if scripture has anything to say about the god-us relationship, it's that he doesn't fight fair, and so we shouldn't, either

tbh it’s a red flag that the inventor of chiropractic got the idea from a ghost. bones are like the #1 thing ghosts don’t have

Trump is going to become the first President to survive so many assassination attempts that it doesn’t even give him a polling bump anymore

i love the phrase "cruel and unusual." not only is what you're doing mean but it's also quite frankly fucking bizarre
