ADDED: I'd add that the downvotes are probably mostly from people who are tired about being lectured to about how they should be living in cities.
I don't know why my comment would make them think that way. I'm simply stating my opinion.
OTOH, commenting about your 'pity' in sardonic language, dripping with so much disdain and so many loaded words / phrases that what should be SUBTEXT is all anyone 'hears' - clearly indicating that all you're doing is signaling a preference and not anything like, say, empathy - well, that's about the opposite.
I have it every time I step outside. Fresh air, birds singing, flowers and bees. Last week I held a tiny bird in my hands as we walked among the gardens and trees, until it regathered its strength and flew off.
I suppose I must be missing the appeal of living in a box above a kebab shop with a roommate who barely speaks English.
No it doesn't. I'm simply asking whether this kind of stuff is more common is suburban areas vs. urban areas.
Not trying to snark, honest question.
And here, the suburban hospitals are better.
In my personal experience, I always felt for more supported and a much bigger sense of community in suburban areas. Most suburban streets I've lived on, even when they weren't in the best neighborhoods, I felt comfortable asking anyone on the block for any kind of help. I do not feel the same way in my current apartment building. We have one neighbor who refuses to walk their 120 pb German Shepard on a leash which has already attacked me and my dogs.
Shouldn't that dog have been put down already?
Our dog has actually been attacked by another dog outside on the street and that was more straightforward.
In this situation it happened inside our building, so the city won't do anything and says we need to work with our landlord. Our landlord isn't doing anything despite our repeated asks. The neighbor in question has multiple evictions previously, etc. There just isn't much more we can do unfortunately
First, this is, I'd say, rather off-topic ... and may seem impolite. It's along the lines of "hey, did you hear so-and-so died?" ... and someone launches into some thought that is not remotely specific to the person who died.
Second, your comment suggests you didn't even bother to 'look at the data'. 'Common sense' basically = 'alchemy', both of which are bollocks.
Now, in fairness, I'll write - among the 'letters' associated with my name, there are not only ... 'credentials', but also, everybody's favorite source of unceasing internal entertainment: attention deficit hyperspace dysplasia. You know, good ol' ADHD. So, I get it ... this may be along those lines, and even people without 'clinical-level' ADHD can have any of the relevant traits at various levels. But still, best to consider certain events like deaths - that many take very seriously - in that light, I'd suggest.
There are almost always people who experience significant sorrow and related emotions at such times. Even not knowing Mr Perry, nor being any particular fan - he had friends, family, and beyond ... all who are now hearing of his rather untimely passing.
I can see why you'd think that way, but please notice that I'm the OP of the post and have been shocked by the news... The show played a huge role in my life and I wouldn't want to draw attention away from the main topic.
> Second, your comment suggests you didn't even bother to 'look at the data'. 'Common sense' basically = 'alchemy', both of which are bollocks.
I would respect your comment up until this point.
On a side note, I wonder if Apple Watch can detect this kind of events and report that to 911 immediately. Even better, can Apple Watch "predict" such fatal events based on data of millions of users who've had similar incidents?
Edit: Maybe the downvoters can say their counter-argument?
