Anyone else get angry when they hear the phrase, 'the gift of life'?
An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

sometimes they say: "there's always someone who's having a worse life than yours"Anyone else get angry when they hear the phrase, 'the gift of life'?
Ooh that one reallyyy gets to me.Yes. I also get angry hearing "lucky to be alive" said to people like car crash victims who lost limbs
goshdarnit. I didn't realize that I was supposed to view an existence in which everyone is a replaceable cog on a money-driven wheel as a gift. Aw manAnyone else get angry when they hear the phrase, 'the gift of life'?
Life
NOUN
The condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth and reproduction, and constantly having to do things you don't feel like
sometimes they say: "there's always someone who's having a worse life than yours"
but hey, i don't care if someone is having a worse life, i just wanna die.
life's not a gift. it's a nightmare
I don't understand how life is a "gift" when many of us were unplanned and basically an outcome of our parents' mistakes.
And some of us were treated like burdens and forced to face traumatizing childhoods and left to fend for ourselves as broken adults.
Not a gift, more like left in the trash.
Parents act like we owe them for giving us life. But I feel like they owe us.
None of asked for any of this.
None of us asked to be born, only to end up longing to die.
I always wondered, does that mean the one person in the world with the actual worst life has a right to die in their eyes? I might ask the next person that tells me that.
I think it's like a bell curve. 50% of the people have a less than average life, and 50% have a better than average life. I'm not really sure where the line in the sand is for a "crappy" life, but a huge portion of the population is depressed just existing here, but most don't have death as an option because they refuse to acknowledge that it's their right.
I tried really hard to not hate my parents for having kids. But what they did was such a selfish thing, whatever your child does they are going to go through torment of various stages even in a good life. I don't think it's worth it.
Or "life is not fair".And the most infuriating thing they can tell their child is "be happy" hahahahaha.. I cant level with that kind of nonsense.
Rational people don't go to casinos as the expected outcome is a 100% loss.Life's like a casino. You get given chips, but how it plays out is entirely up to chance.
I used to get this a lot as an adult telling people I was adopted. That my birth mom gave me "the gift of life." If I was such a gift, why was I pawned off? When I was younger, since I had parents who adopted me it was that was "special" or "chosen." That used to bug the shit out of me as well. It wasn't until the internet that I discovered a lot of other adopted people hated those words as well. Yeah, life doesn't feel like a gift to me.Yes. I also get angry hearing "lucky to be alive" said to people like car crash victims who lost limbs
Rational people also don't chose to be born. But here they are. The point I'm making, is no matter how rational/logical/nice/horrible you are, everything is just a roll of the dice.Rational people don't go to casinos as the expected outcome is a 100% loss.
