<Ser> CUM_SIURAN: to be fair, I was looking at the list of interests Google had detected I have (you can look at such a list if you search for things while logged in with your gmail)
<Ser> and one of them was "women's interests"
<Tanaphor> like shopping
<CUM_SIURAN> see even google thinks you should come out as a transwoman

<slereah-work> Also from what I remember the ancient greeks were crying and reciting poems all the time at war
<slereah-work> sounds pretty psychologically fragile to me
<Cev> yeah but mostly they were crying about the fact that they couldn't go to war as often as they wanted
<slereah-work> let's look up suicide in ancient greece
<slereah-work> "a man, who is one of the god’s possessions, should not kill himself ‘until the god sends some compulsion upon him, as he sends compulsion on us at present’"
<slereah-work> THE GODS!
<slereah-work> there doesn't seem to be a lot of "suicide because I'm sad"
<slereah-work> Well, for men anyway
<slereah-work> Mythological ladies do it a lot
<slereah-work> There's a dude
<slereah-work> "Glaucus drowned in the sea as a result of his sadness over Melicertes' fate"
<slereah-work> "Aminias buried a dagger in his own chest at Narcissus' doorstep after Narcissus spurned his advances"
<slereah-work> "Chryssipus killed himself out of shame after being raped by Laius when he was just a child"
<slereah-work> pretty rough
<slereah-work> Apparently drowning was the most popular method of suicide
<slereah-work> and hanging
<slereah-work> "They considered that the discrepancy of humors in the organ of logic in the human body will cause malfunction, which will lead to the absurdity and consequently to suicide, either due to excessive concentration of black bile in melancholia or due to yellow bile in mania."
<slereah-work> Help my humors are out of whack
<slereah-work> "They believed that greater risk to commit suicide had women, young people and the elderly. As therapy they used the drugs of their time with the intention to induce calm and repression in the ill person, therefore they mainly used mandragora."
<slereah-work> "In general, we would say that there were many reasons to suicide someone in antiquity."
