And it prevents “spur of the moment” decisions, like many successful suicides are.

It may prevent some, but at least some of the ones experiencing acute issues will still go for the immediate option. The bureaucracy of it will add a layer that I suspect will deter some. If it takes months or years, people are just going to find their own way.

I’m not suggesting that we just help any person right off the street. I think the government has duty of care once they are involved. I’m just saying the reality is that many will still choose not to take this alternative path.

I’m sure that generally that is true, but my brain tends to pick something from a show, movie, song, and play it on repeat for the entire time I’m asleep. This results in me having terrible sleep. I play a show or movie as I’m falling asleep and this doesn’t happen. I usually fall asleep within 5 minutes. When I have a decent amount of sleep 6+ hours, I wake up refreshed using this method.

Again, I’m not saying you’re wrong. I’m saying there may be exceptions like mine.

I did not downvote you, because I don’t downvote people who are trying to have conversations/discuss topics.

Related to the use of an articulating arm for watching in bed, it was amazing when my neck and back were hurt and I needed to lay totally flat for a few days.

I find that my brain processes information better if my hands are also doing something. So, I use various fidget toys to help me concentrate during meetings.

Anyone have an Android version of this?

I believe we determined that Jesus invented Buddha and Buddha invented VPNs. So, by extension we could say without Jesus, there would be no VPNs. Also, no corn chips.

How much shit does your family go through that you need bylaws and a treasurer?

Pretty sure that could be the basis for a series of children’s novels that were eventually adapted into a trilogy (or more) of movies.

Sounds like your system is not optimized or you need a different work environment altogether.

I think that’s fine for a day, but 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 50+ weeks a year, for 40+ years? It’s going to mess up your neck, I think.

I write emails for an hour sometimes. Some things you want to have in writing so you can point back to it later. I work in a government position and for a lot of the folks I deal with I need to be able to show I told them this on this date and the trail that goes along with it to be able to take action on what they did that they shouldn’t have or didn’t do that they should have. That hour on an email could prevent or shorten tons of meetings and headaches. Just depends on your job.

And I updated you with a chuckle!
