  8. Re:Enough whipping Uber to death on Suicide of an Uber Engineer: Widow Blames Job Stress (sfchronicle.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, I'm going to step in here and try to explain this,

    When you say that the only culprit is the person who killed himself, you are no only denying his victim status, you are actually proclaiming him the perpetrator of a moral wrong.

    People who kill themselves are the primary victims of whatever circumstance provoked their decision, and putting the blame in them and dismissively telling them to "get help" or that his circumstances are not "bad enough" to grant a suicide are really bad ways to approach the subject.

    In cases of clinical depression, this approach can actually harm the individual and make him act. as you are basically telling him "you are wrong" and "you are a bad person for thinking about suicide" intead do:
            Be yourself. Let the person know you care, that he/she is not alone. ...
            Listen. Let the suicidal person unload despair, ventilate anger. ...
            Be sympathetic, non-judgmental, patient, calm, accepting. ...
            Offer hope. ...
            Take the person seriously.

      But don't:

            Argue with the suicidal person. Avoid saying things like: "You have so much to live for," "Your suicide will hurt your family," or "Look on the bright side."

            Act shocked, lecture on the value of life, or say that suicide is wrong.

            Promise confidentiality. Refuse to be sworn to secrecy. A life is at stake and you may need to speak to a mental health professional in order to keep the suicidal person safe. If you promise to keep your discussions secret, you may have to break your word.

            Offer ways to fix their problems, or give advice, or make them feel like they have to justify their suicidal feelings. It is not about how bad the problem is, but how badly it's hurting your friend or loved one.

            Blame yourself. You can't "fix" someone's depression. Your loved one's happiness, or lack thereof, is not your responsibility.

  14. Re:War on common sense on Employers Struggle To Find Workers Who Can Pass A Drug Test · · Score: 1

    So, the cost isn't AS high as the huge cost of a different substance, so let's not give it another thought? Alcohol is more widespread than, say, heroin ... but would you say that alcohol's impact on people is more, or less of an issue than is addition to meth or opiates? If opiates are worse, we can just say never mind about alcohol, right? No? I see.

    Can you elaborate? the message i get is that since alcohol is worse but still is tolerated by society then the less harmfull marijuana should be tolerated too. Opiates are worse than alcohol, so the argument doesn't work on that example.

    "The 1918 flu pandemic (January 1918 â" December 1920) was an unusually deadly influenza pandemic, the first of the two pandemics involving H1N1 influenza virus.[1] It infected 500 million people across the world,[2] including remote Pacific islands and the Arctic, and resulted in the deaths of 50 to 100 million (three to five percent of the world's population[3]), making it one of the deadliest natural disasters in human history"

  16. Re:The Color of God on Swedish Scientist Suggests That There Is Only One Earth (blastingnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Very bad analogy.

    Lets say you say "i can see color" (in this hypothetical colorblind world), as you say we can prove that the frequency 4Ãf--10^14 Hz exist. it is very trivial to set up a test to verify your claims. that is with a red light generator. so even if i cant perceive color, you can prove to me that you indeed can see this red color.

    Some people can perceive colors most of us cant, they posses a condition called Tetrachromacy, and we have very good evidence of this, so i have no doubt they can indeed see more colors than the rest of us.

    There is no such possible test for your "knowledge" that god exist. therefore is much simpler to conclude that its your imagination rather that the real deal.

    The problem, you see, is that most "cristians", are "remarkably ignorant about what's actually in the Bible, what the actual beliefs of Christianity are, and the history of modern science. ." this is not an attack on your "true biblical things" but on the deeply problematic "Christian nation"
