Ehhh. It was posted without comment. That’s a “hey, look at this” post. OP may have commented later, and they may have had hopes of raising general awareness by posting, but without that context it doesn’t initially appear so. There was no “honest discussion” brought up by OP. If that is your intent, you’d tend to actually say that.

I don’t think there are many people who aren’t aware that there’s a lot of people out there suffering and many who take their own life. Simple awareness doesn’t do anything. If you’ve ever been involved in anything super tragic or known anyone who has, having it appear in the news can make it even more difficult. Edit: adding: I’m in no way saying I’m right here. I’m just stating my opinion. I appreciate the discussion.

If you are familiar with The Vessel Hudson Yards they had to put nets because so many people were jumping.

And Thompson.

Good thing I never have to take it. Maybe once a decade

Wow I’m on 95 all the time and never would’ve thought it was the MOST congested. It’s definitely busy sometimes but that’s surprising

Wear the cowboy hat, they’re cool

You are entitled to your opinion I don't agree but I understand your point also.

I do not know this mans life and what he was going thru, like I said before outside looking in seems like one would think he has a perfect life.

If money is all that matters to you I get it, in your head rich people do not have the right to have depression, stress, or suicidal ideation?

Of course. I’m not talking about mainstream media though. It doesn’t mean that the fine people of Reddit, who don’t get advertising dollars, need to perpetuate it.

Hat choice is fine, but if you are a gentleman you will take it off when you are indoors. Manners like that go a long way.

I fully get your point, but there’s also the “why” aspect. Is it helpful to anyone to know this information? Is it just rubbernecking? You choose to have your actions add value or not. If they don’t add value, should you do it? Ultimately that’s of course up to you.

I disagree with you. Cars are for when you have things to do and aren’t spending time going downtown to transfer for the blue line back out of town. Busses are awesome for long distances but not when you associate them with the port authority bus station in New York.

Of course. What's your budget?

I wear a Panama style straw hat and love it. Very close to a cowboy hat but more Eastern USA. A Texas cowboy hat will make you stand out.

It's news and it's CT related. It's just that simple.

Considering the comparative ability of one class to get help over the other I would say it is not a perfect tit-for-tat to the point that I would certainly feel different, perhaps even sympathy were it from someone who, I’m just going to guess, had stressors that were a little more real. Why should I feel bad for someone who gets evicted from their home when that home was a mansion? I feel a similar logic applies here.

I thought the Merritt was built to resemble Mad Max

I know that people always argue against the one more lane thing. But atleast in the south east where I-95 is only two lanes it really should be 3. I mean there are sections where the grade is pretty high and often times the entire highway gets held up by two 18 wheelers trying to drag race up a hill at 45 mph. Sure in the long run it would relieve all the congestion. But its getting more and more to be a safety issue that its not 3 lanes at this point

Hey you wear whatever you’re comfortable with “up here” we like uniqueness, Welcome!

wear that cowboy hat. tell everyone your name is texas red. carry a big iron on your hip. maybe some spurs that go jingle jangle jingle (jingle jangle)

Nothing I’ve seen in Stamford is convenient - mostly trolleys for the harbor pt area. Either way - still don’t see that as an excuse to not build up more around our train stations

I used to have to commute down there and I don't miss it at all. It was like rolling a 20 sided dice where only a 20 would guarantee no accidents and a smooth commute.

I did, but I must have skimmed over that part. Thank you

You got OT right?

No.
