  • Hey Guest,

    Today, OFCOM launched an official investigation into Sanctioned Suicide under the UK’s Online Safety Act. This has already made headlines across the UK.

    This is a clear and unprecedented overreach by a foreign regulator against a U.S.-based platform. We reject this interference and will be defending the site’s existence and mission.

    In addition to our public response, we are currently seeking legal representation to ensure the best possible defense in this matter. If you are a lawyer or know of one who may be able to assist, please contact us at [email protected].

"This too shall pass," there's an Arabic folk tale with the same title. I like how it is double-edged sword this folktale can be depending on how you feel.
The folktale says:
"There was an Indian king who asked his minister to engrave on his ring a phrase that if he read it while sad he would be happy, and if he read it while happy he would be sad. So the minister wrote (This time will pass)."
It's not as if I like those self-help wisdom but this one seemed different to me. Because it isn't necessarily optimistic. In fact it's kind of nihilistic. It implies that neither the position nor the problems are permanent. They will all pass and become a positive or negative memory. Even you as a person will pass, like everything else. You will either do what immortalizes your memory, or you will melt into memory and become one of the passersby, like millions of others.
Thank you for this, I think I see it differently now. It's really just that nothing is permanent, good or bad. It almost cancels out, like we can't win either way. Like in the end, it doesn't matter because it comes to nothing anyways.
