            It’s obvious from this exchange:

            WHICH PAUL U FUCK

            Mom’s brother???

            Or Jeanie’s husband???

            Yes

            The sister (grey) was clearly responding to “Mom’s brother???”, but just as she hit “send”, teal asked “Or Jeanie’s husband???”.

            People who give both options in an obvious one-or-the-other question deserve to receive “Yes” as a response.

            Also, what is “Jsuk”?

    Yea I found out from my server at a restaurant that my cousin killed himself. She was his friend. It had been months since it happened and no one told me that he passed, even though I saw my family recently. Fucked up.

      People get really weird about suicide. Almost like they think talking about it will incentivize others to kill themselves.

        there is a phenomenon known as “suicide contagion” or “copycat suicide,” where exposure to suicide can lead to an increase in suicide rates.
        Typically this occurs with media, like when a celebrity is in the news for suicide, but I believe there is still a relationship in just talking about it, especially in younger folks.
