    Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

It would be one of the biggest understatements in history to say that the circumstances of our world have trained people to de facto look down on whenever someone wants to depart from the world. These days, if you go out into the public and (depending on the time and place) even off-handedly bring up the topic, people come by to talk to you, and the next thing you know, you're a city away talking to some professional about the "correctness" of being careless about your existence. That is, assuming you're not one of the few groups of people who, depressingly, at the same time, are often specifically told they should die, even though, even then, professionals typically try to go full Hippocratic Oath and outwardly act towards you like they do to everyone else.

The circumstances have gone so far as to, in some places, cause authorities to provide a reaction whenever someone even expresses a notion that some people are, in the words of many of the victims of this, better off dead, though this isn't a norm everywhere. And here is where thing enter into my train of thought, with me being the kind of person who gets told on a routine basis that the other person disagrees with those authorities when it comes to me. I would first like to ask, why is only one part of this normal in most places? How many people do you see debating over the sensibilities of banning the practice of telling people on the street that they should die, or, as is relevant in my case, debating over what to do when someone tries to make their ideations easier for themselves to carry out by claiming to be a member of a group that is subject to receiving increased deathwishes? Someone from counseling ended up telling me "it would be better if you went the effort of protestingly recording all the instances of people saying these things to you and ended up making them look bad, as well as any authorities who take issue with you recording and publishing material of people without their approval", which has inspired my main New Year's Resolution (they said this at my church on Christmas, which was a low time for me). I'll be doing that (will you?)

And before it's asked, never in my entire life have I ever told anyone to die (in any way, shape, or form), something I might be proud of (even arrogantly) if it wasn't for the fact I am the one who is in something amounting to the victims' shoes.

That brings me to what I was wondering. What about you? How does everyone expect each other to square one part of this issue, the same part where people tend to frown upon the idea of people having such low self-disregard, with the other part, the same part where disregard for others is brushed off, in such a way where someone like me could give themselves a boost by inserting themselves into the demographic of people who are the most disregarded? Whether or not it's done (by you or anyone), do you fancy the advice of the person I quoted who gave me her two cents about it?
