988 suicide hotline number is stupid.

[Stray Bullet]

So what percentage of ten million?

I don’t know. I haven’t done a poll. I don’t have the means to so it’s not a fair argument to make against me. Polls aren’t everything and I don’t put much faith in them. They can prove a point but they aren’t essential in making one. They can also serve as propaganda at times.

It's a very fair argument. Anecdotal evidence of unknown magnitude is not credible in and od itself in a national program

Is that a fact? Well that’s how people start to investigate is by people raising these concerns about programs. Unfortunately suicide is a very different kind of thing from what other programs deal with. It’s a very complicated and stressful thing that most people don’t want to deal with and it’s even made apparent by how these counselors are on there.

and its been studied, as I've posted links to.

but again, you are welcome to file a complaint and try to organize a grass roots effort to do whatever you want.

but the fact that you are dissatisfied with it doesn't mean its some cover up job by "elites" blah blah blah.

That’s not their job though. Might be yours as an internet troll but it doesn’t get me pissed off at all because I never expected you to help anybody nor would you.

Actually the job of the suicide hotline when you called them was to keep you alive by any means. They succeeded and as such clearly did their job well

Now stop being so silly.

Oh and by the way, help is available all you need to do is ask

A lot of that reads like it was copied and pasted. I really don’t see how it can help anyone. The counselors are all shallow and act like AI. And if it didn’t work, as I believe, I’m almost certain the media and the establishment wouldn’t tell the truth about it. Society loves shallow and easy fixes to deep and complicated stuff.

You're a dickhead. Those people have saved more lives that ratbag critics like you ever have.
I like yourself would consider a waste also. You were mad and depressed since birth.

If only you had that same passion about Biden using his power to completely end Israel’s assault on Gaza, by siding with the UN for a recent example, he could save all of those lives. And if Israel is not going to do what he says, like you believe, then they should be made our enemy because they are being evil and we want to be to good guys right?

The suicide hotline has not one damned thing to do with Trump or Israel. Israel is going to do whatever Netanyahu wants, because he commands the IDF, no Biden. You make no sense. Trump would be happy to see Israel kill even more Palestinians.

Yeah the president of the United States is just a powerless position with no influence whatsoever. That’s how Biden makes it look anyways. I was just saying your preachiness about even saving one life defending this damn hotline isn’t shared in your Gaza sentiments relating to what Biden can actually do about it.

Yeah and when they do it sucks and makes them want to die even more most likely.

You were saying their job was to make me angry.

Vaguely saying “It’s been studied” is not the ultimate defense of something. That just comes off as propaganda. Everything is a cover up job by elites these days really. Especially in the realms of what people believe. Nobody wants to criticize anything that’s not safe to because they’ll get cyberbullied or canceled.

You can’t be simple minded and just send everyone that’s depressed to a hotline. They deserve a better system than that and you know it.

nothing there implies it is legally required, nor have I ever met anyone who thinks that. what a stupid statement. duh

The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, previously known as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, offers 24/7 call, text and chat access to trained crisis counselors who can help people experiencing suicidal, substance use, and/or mental health crisis, or any other kind of emotional distress. People can also call, text or chat 988 if they are worried about a loved one who may need crisis support.

so your one experience means it doesn't work?

Yes, the 988 Lifeline works. Numerous studies have shown that most Lifeline callers are significantly more likely to feel less depressed, less suicidal, less overwhelmed, and more hopeful after speaking to a Lifeline crisis counselor. 988 Lifeline crisis counselors are trained to help reduce the intensity of a situation for the person seeking help and connect them to additional local resources, as needed, to support their wellbeing.

About 98% of people who reach out to the 988 Lifeline are helped by the crisis counselor, resources shared, or community connections made (without involvement of 911) during the call, text, or chat.


based on your posts here, you have an awful experience with everything in life. I dont think the problem is them, its you.

a study heh? where's your link?
