Hey thanks! What's the suggested term instead? This is the first I'm hearing of the term differences so wanna fix it up

When talking about my son, I say took their life, or died by suicide. The phrase committed suicide diminishes the loss/act/cry for help by criminalizing it.

Alternately my best friend I say lost his battle with depression. I think the current internet self censored version of unalived is acceptable as well. I for sure would not be offended if someone asked if that is how my son died anyway.

ETA: any plans to make a mobile version? I am going to go dig out my iPad so I can read the list, my old eyes cannot see everything on my phone.

I'm sorry for your loss, thanks for sharing. Made the corrections to the page.

I've heard the page doesn't work on mobile phones very well, its hard for me to test since it works decently on mine but I think I know a fix I can add in a bit

Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
