I guess I'm getting old and soft (lulz) but jokes around his brother's suicide don't seem funny to me idk. And the McKenzie River shit around someone drowning weren't ever funny either. OK I'm puckered and ready to be flagged into oblivion.
I know Grundle feels the same way.
No flags from me.
I can't speak for everyone here, but as someone who's experienced my younger brother attempting suicide multiple times and having to literally talk my mom out if it as she held a butcher knife to her throat in front of me, I have at least had to wrestle with the horrors of suicide. No I've never actually lost a family member to it thankfully. Butt still, for me it's either a laugh at it or cry about it kind of thing.
I have obviously made my choice. Doesn't mean it's the right one.
T's and P's to you, seriously. That's some tough shit.
I don't like making those jokes, just not something I feel right doing.
Unfortunately for me I do laugh when other people do, but I do cringe at the same time. Very uncomfortable laugh that I then feel bad about.
Truth be told I don't think she was ever going to do it, but she's Roof level batshit crazy so you never know.
In my line of work I've had to talk a couple others off the ledge as well. I've never thought any of them were actually going to go through with it, but in that situation you obviously can't take the chance that you're wrong so you treat them all like they're for real.
Have had multiple friends commit brutal suicides. Same for the Mrs.
Sometimes when you look into the void all you can do is laugh in the face of it.
Sometimes you have to wonder if you're the common denominator...
