Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!
About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.
Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness
Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!

That is actually why they'rea big discrepancy between male and female studies rates. Attempts are about even but women typically choose less effective/reversible methods such as sleeping pills. Men tend to choose more violent methods like firearms or hanging which results in higher success rates on suicide attempts.
I mean, in a way, that shows men being more committed which proves the meme correct
I've heard women do it as either a fate coin-toss or attention seeking.. men do it as a final solution to attention avoiding.
After extensive reading there isn't any real answer for this question. Studies into why men or women choose specific methods are scarce. Speaking from personal experience, I chose poisoning because I didn't want to leave a massive bloody mess behind for someone to have to clean up.
One study (with a small sample size) that asked men who survived an attempted suicide using a firearm showed that many of them answers they picked the gun because it was available.
Of two of the men I've known who committed suicide, one used a gun (behind his house and was found by two neighbor children playing, just awful) and the other hanged himself.
I think we need to do more research into why before making a definitive claim.

My professor hangs himself with a collection of coaxial cable from the radio lab and one Of my neighbors using a rope that his children use for scouting. They really use what is available for them at those moments.
The suicide reason is from divorce and debt. Both of them are doing it when they are alone. If you have a suicidal thoughts please seek help and talk to people who love you it really help because we will miss you
talk to people who love you it really help because we will miss you
This is the hard part me think. As a guy that also suicidal like two years ago and slowly walk myself out of it over the year, it's hard to identify who will care and who will love, i always feels like most people around me care only because i'm about to do something irreversible, not care about me deeply. It's that cynicism that i feels drive a lot of people to suicide because they just don't know who will care.
The thing about mental health is, if your brain chemicals aren't buttfucking you, you can live not because someone else might care, but because you care.
That should be enough.
You are enough.
Are you the same person that you replied to just with another account? You both write broken English in the exact same way, it really stands out.
Ohh? Do explain about the broken english part, english is my second language, and i couldn't see anything broken about OOP's english.
I'm pretty sure its the usage of "me think", which is not standard English (although methinks together is more acceptable interestingly), as well as the use of 'feels' when grammatically it should be 'feel'.
To be honest it's not that big of a deal though
Edit: also there should probably be a 'was' in "as a guy that [was] also suicidal...."
That kind of makes sense at least for me. I don't want any attention from people I know or anyone really, I just don't want to exist anymore.
"Thankfully" I have a family that cares about me so I'm not going anywhere. I couldn't hurt them just so I don't have to suffer, that's even worse.
You could also argue that men are a little handier. /s
Seriously, if you feel depressed, burnt out or plain suicidal, talk to someone about it. Mental health problems can hardly ever be powered through alone.
I'm a guy, and not suicidal. But if I was, I'd make damn sure it worked. The only thing worse then a successful suicide attempt is an almost successful suicide attempt that leaves you with severe physical or mental problems.
And in the fucked up hellscape that is America, a fuckton of legal debt. First to the ER that saved your life and then to the mental hospital that forced you in because of your attempt. And guess what! Neither are in network so you are now am extra $100,000 in debt because you decided your financial situation was beyond salvage.
Men are afraid to commit to life.
Just like most things relationship related, commitment has levels.
No living man as ever fully committed…
