I haven’t seen one. Baker is just an angry drunk. Rips Anthony. He presented a life that seemed envious, had the money to get help and didn’t. It’s a damn shame. Mental health is no joke. I always say if you break your arm you’re going to doctor, if your brain is broken the same plan should apply.

i only know him from the big short.
i saw some twitter stuff. he said he wanted to kill kissinger of all the ppl in the work, and he cared about the palestinians. the radio said today his big message to restaraunt workers is treat each other nice". to me that shows how pathetic the majority of people are because thats just basic. if i had a message to restaraunt workers i would say unionize for starters.
i just saw that suicide is the number 1 killer for men under 35 (not sure what country).
cq uk says its the number 1 killer for men in uk under 50, and 75% of all suicides are men.
and to be honest im not that happy myself, but not suicidal, maybe barely depressed.

I have a former coworker, ex Army, who won't speak to me now because I'm traveling through former Soviet republics. And others, including family, who think I'm crazy for doing so. Anthony Bourdain opened my eyes to a lot of these places, made me realize a lot of these places are just trying to better their lives, have left communism behind. That not all Muslims want to kill me. But he wasn't a pigeon holed liberal. He shot guns with Ted Nugent after all. He seemed more serious the last couple of years but would've never thought he'd do this. RIP Tony Bourdain, the world was a better place because you were in it.

Outside of my family and friends, I don't think I would miss anybody.

Agreed but often times easier said than done. There’s an unfortunate stigma with mental health illness. He took the easy way out.

I think I have to agree with you, if one doesn't interact personally. I think the loss felt would be purely selfish. Not missing the person, but selfish in missing what the person added to one's enjoyment or identity with a certain moment or era. Just a thought.

I agree except I don’t get the selfish part.

Meaning your missing of a person wouldn't come from any sadness that the person is gone, but rather sadness at the loss of enjoyment you get from their presence.

Blaming suicide on mental illness must call into question the definition of mental illness. Some may argue that suicide is the only reasonable response to being totally sane. I blame suicide on a lack of imagination. Think about what you could accomplish if you no longer cared whether you lived or died.
Except, then you would care.

The selfish part comes from the grief that might be felt is from what the living lost not for the departed. Kinda like the bacon and eggs breakfast, the pig was committed, the chicken just participated. Was only a thought, and not much time spent on it. Example, I missed Mickey Mantle at his passing and afterwards, a part of my younger years passed with him. His death was more about my loss. I will note, as you know, I am demented.

I've had 2 REAL close family members commit suicide. One was hurting medically and the other one was hurting emotionally. In my case I went through a long period of hating them for what they did to the rest of the family---hating society for being a part of what caused their depression---hating myself for not being there more for them ---and finally coming to peace with it all. Now I just miss them both.

Would you? I mean you would have to care some about trying to accomplish something, but that doesn't necessarily mean you care about living or dying.
