There's thousands of cases of people putting themselves in danger to try to save suicidal people, including jumping into deep bodies of water.

However, my point was on intention, someone committing suicide isn't right in the head so to say "well they did it on purpose so we shouldn't help" is silly.

Probably not what you mean but blatant misogyny, hatred, or animal or human abuse, I find those painful to read

But we can say that with any suicide, if a guy stands on a bridge holding a rock tied to his leg then we will still try to save them because we understand they're going through something.

It's pretty standard in divorces to agree custody as part of the divorce, most custody cases are just "This is what we've decided to do", "cool, here's a paper that says that".

I did IT support at one point, when they have an issue but don't know what the box said you know you're having a bad time!

I think you've misunderstood the comment you replied to. You're agreeing.

So true. I do a bit of teaching and kids have recently lost all computer skills I thought was basic.

"Where's my work gone?"

"Where did you save it?"

"What do you mean?"

"At the end of last lesson, show me exactly what you did"

"I clicked the X here, then clicked ok"

He clicked OK to the "do you want to close this document without saving?" box. He is 19. I had to give a really detailed lesson on how to save something to not only him, but half the students I taught this year.

Parents used to teach, if you read in the dark (on paper, not on a screen, I must add), you’re ruining your eyes. But if you think about it: wtf does low light do to your eyes? By that logic, you’re constantly ruining your eyes while sleeping.

The theory is that frequently straining your eyes is an issue, so reading in conditions that are difficult to see in will weaken them, not that dark itself hurts your eyes.

I have an idea right, instead of like, treating mental illness, how about we all claim it doesn't exist, that way nobody has it and we'll all be fine!!

While I agree cheap chocolate is rough, some store brand chocolate is really nice.

"It's great you've found a way that works for you, I do it a little differently which works great for me", smile and leave.

Smokers getting better chances at promotion because they smoked with the bosses was standard when I started working.
