Just in case somebody needed this.
Anyone remember this famous press conference and how it ended?

Depending on where you live, all 988 does is forward your information to the police. When I’ve called it, basically a bunch of questions to try to get you to trip that line, then nothing but “I’m sorry to hear that :(“
There’s no requirement that the volunteer have clinical experience. I’ve heard horror stories of people being hung up or mocked. The company that runs it (and subcontracts it to several companies that they hide, it can be very difficult to figure out who is actually taking your call) is opaque and does not listen to complaints.
988 is mostly a fancy ad campaign.

Fuck, didnt know. Just searched up international suicide hotline and thought this looked legit.
Anyone know about any real alternatives? I’ll update my original comment.

We don’t need the suicides, we need the convictions and sentencing.
Assassassin@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Well we aren’t getting the convictions and sentencing, sooooooooo…

If only all politicians did this after a felony conviction.

He wasn’t guilty, his accusers were the guilty ones. Dwyer did this so his family wouldn’t lose insurance.
hedgehogging_the_bed@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Source? He was a State Treasurer involved in a complicated bribery and contracting scandal. It’s not a he-said-she-said sort of case. His accuser was a deputy comptroller for Pittsburgh Public Schools who noted contracts were wildly overvalued for the work and called the State Auditor General who called the FBI to investigate the matter. Who are you suggesting was lying?

Mild spoiler and trigger warning for Mr. Robot
This event was the inspiration behind the season 1 finale scene where an E Corp exec kills himself during a live interview.

I’m lucky I haven’t seen the video of this guy’s death
Mickey7@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The video was kinda interesting and wasn’t too gross. It was the complete surprise that made it interesting
