thanks. i took a moment to find it (boost). but it now leads me back to the OP question...
if a crosspost came up during my lemmy scroll, it will probably look exactly the same as if i had made the post to each community individually. so is crossposting a meaningful alternative?
i have been on lemmy since the reddit exodus and use it every day... even post from time to time and i have no confidence at all about what cross-post means, or how to carry it out, or what the results look like.
it seems like you didn't quite get the responses you were hoping for.
i appreciate your questioning and attempt to reframe the JFK speech in a modern context. it makes sense to me that he might have been speaking about some underground conspiracy which is still in operation today.
goddammit. i feel so betrayed by this movie and by the seductive trailers for this movie and by any and all positive reviews of this movie (including yours).
in my mid-life adulthood, it has been a major revelation for me to discover that my most enduring personality trait is that i will always seek to end any interaction as quickly as possible, with as little damage as possible.
for my entire life, as soon as i can get get out, i do get out.
a decade or so ago, a group of 20-ish cousins and i were sitting round the campfire at the reunion. they all discussed among themselves and decided that i am the original black-sheep of the family and they thanked me for being a strong role model for their own journey out of the truly awful mormon religion.
i think it is incredibly unfair that the process of ending your own life is, in this culture, a necessarily lonely and grim affair.
according to the theory of complete bodily autonomy the option must be available, simple, painless, and ideally a joyful shared experience. but the moment you make such a desire known to others, they will try to "help" you. and i can assure you that their idea of "help" will not be pleasant for you.
so, sadly, you must tread this path alone.
philosophically, i think it offends people because it forces them to acknowledge that their own life is probably not worth preserving. we force each other to suffer through it all because no one wants to openly admit that this shit just plain-old-sucks.
