So every group I was in also had a punching bad and I was never it.

Generally there are 2 things to do:

1. Punch back,with words, come backs. Study how they make fun of you. Apply same logic back.

2. Drop them as friends and find nicer ones

Big dick energy might not be the right word for it, but he's not wrong. Successful women want confident men who know what they want. They don't have to be disrespectful to get it though.

Confidence is the number 1 thing most women agree is attractive in a mate. Some want immature arrogance. But most just want confidence. Being maturely confident is a skill most adults never master. Hence looking for confidence in a man, isn't the trait you really want to start with.

Most men who are considered confident, cross the line into arrogance.

Did you read about the study?

I'm not a scientist. I'm no expert. I also don't know if this was peer reviewed. I didn't read it was. But from what I read, yes they used the word suicide and depression for these numbers. And used them against searches for weather per region. So no, they did not account for search context.

This research seems lazy. I already know more gays and trans are suicidal under laws that are against them. But this study was fuckign stupid and poorly done.

Hey congrats on the sobriety dude. 5 days is a beginning. I remember when I was 5 days without cigarettes. Onto 3 years... in 3 years, you'll be saying the same thing to someone else

Probably less than suicidal people. But that depends if the word just needed to be in the search. Like if I search for suicide squad, does that count?

To answer your question, neither of us know. But I assume we'd both agree mentally well people goole those words less in general

Yes... that is what the study is saying.

I'm saying, I feel like there's a better way to find this correlation outside of saying how many people in this state googled the word suicide and or depression.

Yes. Very good?

Yeah. I'm not saying suicidal people don't. I'm saying, it's not an indicator of how many people are suicidal or depressed.

2 of us were suicidal. 1 googled it. 1 didn't. No indication of anything

I dont know of a better way to find a correlation between legislature and the effects on people.

But it's weird to me that they would try to prove it through Google searches.

I was suicidal and depressed for most of my life and don't know if I ever actually googled suicide or depression. If anything I'd be worried people would see I googled that stuff

Yeah I guess it's more about what we each define as clean as you go. Like I consider dusting and vacuuming, cleaning bathrooms, wiping stoves and counters, as my cleaning day. I'm not going to clean my toilet after every use, or every night. I'm not going to vacuum after every meal, etc.

Once a week I do a deep clean of everything. Cleaning as I go helps make my cleaning day only a couple hours versus all day though.

I feel like this is one of those things you could say either way and it might help some people.

Just do whichever is better for you
