I was hoping someone did this.

That's a common misconception. Emergency services are only contacted if you are at imminent risk. If you just need support/resources they don't automatically call the cops.

And how many towns there are with "luck" or "fortune" in their name that have never seen a lottery winner.

So, he got all his money back?

I myself will offer to buy them food if we're outside a store... will not give cash for obvious reasons

“Hey now that we can catch cancer earlier, people aren’t dying from it as much.”

“Fucking bullshit post.”

My only experience with the suicide hotline traumatized me rather badly. It was actual harm, far past just being ridiculous platitudes. I probably shouldn't go into it on a good vibes only subreddit but it scares me seeing these numbers put out there as a good thing. It did permanent harm to me and I'm far less likely to ever discuss suicidal thoughts or reach out for help after that experience.

Stop spreading misinformation, it's clearly 886

Cleveland?

In my area, 988 is a longstanding prefix to many numbers. I tried dialing my doctor's office, which has a 988-xxxx number. Same area code as me, so I shouldn't need to enter the area code. Just dial 988-xxxx. I immediately get the suicide prevention line. I'm totally supportive of having this as a means for people to get the help they need, but they should have thought ahead when assigning a local number.

I wonder when they’ll make a homicide hotlineZ

My phone didn't let me call it

As someone who just got out of the BHU for attempted suicide 8 can tell you that with me, I didnt want to die, but I felt like it was the only way out, and end to depression and other things.

They literally hung up on me halfway through a convo once lmao

I called it once in a time of need, they hung up on me.

Indeed he did. I mean it doesn’t matter since the lack of Net Neutrality killed the internet—but it’s still true.
