I am a bit surprised he lasted this long all things considered. He has clearly struggled with his mental health this whole time.

I guarantee this world is better off with you in it (especially if you are a beehaw user).

There are times and places for guerilla marketing, and embedded in a "don't commit suicide" message is one that I would argue falls outside of that set.

I didn't even see it on my initial read-through of the comment. Quite the whiplash from "how wholesome!" To "wow, partisan much?"

I'm assuming that they just didn't think about the implications and that it was a case of "should've vetted that one more time before posting," but yeah. Yikes.

It's more my confusion about the way this platform works lol I wasn't suggesting or advertising, I thought it was a post only beehaw users would see
