This happens in New York as well. What if we could hear from the people suffering from this directly? We can. Earlier today, a post showed up here about John. It was flagged. I expect my comment to also be moderated, which will reinforce my feelings of being ignored by the world. https://github.com/yeukhon/suicide I investigated what's happening to him, and empathise with a lot of his struggles. We're overworked, underpaid, ignored, and rejected by the government. https://twitter.com/y3ukhon He's got excellent work experience for Mozilla, and a good degree. Working for a tech company in New York. What's bad about that? - He's still asking for a second job on weekends just to make ends meet. May 22: "What part time job would allow me to work on Friday - Sunday with some rest in between? Need one so I can make up some cash." - He can't affo
Read the rest
rd anything more than a tiny room: Apr 13: "if only @LifeOnPurple can release a full size mattress tonight I'd be able to purchase >_< my bedroom can't take a Queen size. #mattress" - He cares about the world, but it makes him poor (me too - refusing to work for weapons manufacturers or oil companies has seriously limited my scope of potential jobs) Apr 5: "I'd be interested in working at places where I can exercise social responsibility and making industry standard salary. Too hard." - He's bored at work, probably because managers don't give him enough to do, or don't care enough to simply talk to him. ] Mar 28: "When I don't seem to do much or making huge progress at work I wonder am I the new fossil at work? At age of 25? Really?" - He can't get insurance (me too) because of systematic mistreatment of foreigners by the government (me too): Mar 5: I write software so I am denied for vision coverage. I am Chinese so I am denied for liver coverage. #preexistingconditions

There is a lot here to talk about, but I will start with something trivial: that he made two commits to the repo. In the second commit, he adds a photo: https://github.com/yeukhon/suicide/commit/eddf98b9f3f4676b11... I feel like some day sociologists and historians will write of this era, and I hope details like this are remembered. It says something about how fully we live technological lives now, that a person might make multiple commits to a suicide note. In fact, he might have made many commits and then used rebase to erase them. Also, someone responded by opening an issue: https://github.com/yeukhon/suicide/issues/1 It's a trivial detail, but it says a lot about our era. I hope things turn out well for him.
