Rest in peace.

Rest in peace.

It's a sad reality we live in. Amazing actor and a funny guy. It's being investigated as a suicide from asphyxiation. It's a shame.

Clemens says that he doesn't believe in depression, and that it isn't a mental illness, what are people's thoughts on this?

[Bikers]

that he's a god damn idiot

That opens up a huge can of worms.

Depression is brought on by lifestyle, diet, etc a lot more than anything. There are some countries in the world where depression literally doesnt exist, ive seen it. The reason america has so much "depression" is because of the stress of life, general lack of religion (Im not really religious, but this definitely has something to do with it), poor economy etc. I guarantee you a lot of these people who claim to be depressed could get over it if they focus on the cause of it. I used to be "depressed" when I was younger and I got over it, and I know nearly everyone else can too.

Especially when someone has a family, wife etc, many things other people would kill to have so they can be happy, then they go kill themselves, I have a hard time feeling remorse for these people. Im sorry. Suicide is an extremely selfish act.

Clemens' OES (overall education score,) if we are saying a child girl in Africa has close to 0, and a Rhodes scholar has close to 100, and Dan Cervone, Adam Dunkmaster, Infil, are around 90+; would be ranked somewhere in the 20s.

I feel bad for Clemens and his really uneducated views of the world, but it's not really his fault.  He didn't choose to be born into the life that he did.  No point really in discussing his views on this sort of thing much further.

^ get back to me with your imput when you have actually stepped outside your box and experienced the world. You left canada once for agdq and thats probably the only time ever. You probably also have no experience with suicides, whereas I actually do since several people in my life have commited suicide. Its an act of extreme selfishness

[rwhitegoosesego]

There's a difference between depression and suicide. Depression is even more real a mental disorder, suffered by many, than is narcissism or extreme self-importance, suffered by goose. Obviously it's all in the head, but that doesn't make it not real.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

been to USA about 20 times in my life, been to France, Italy, Germany, UK, Austria, etc.

Clemens thinks he's full of worldly knowledge because he's gone to Indonesia a half dozen times to hang out with a girl he met on the internet.

Depression is real but its my belief that it is brought on more by lifestyle than anything and there is definitely a better way to deal with it than suicide. All I meant is that it isnt a disease, aka something that can only be cured with medicine or something that cant be cured. Its extremely possible to treat depression and cure yourself of it naturally and I have a hard time believing it was so bad that he had to choose suicide.

Anyway, I dont wanna debate about this for ages lol. I loved him in his movies and i feel sorry for his family, its just unfortunate to see this kind of thing happen time and time again and feel like it could have been so preventable.

Fair enough, goose. Just try not to be the most condescending person in the world for once? Everything you say is holier than thou, condescending bullshit. This behavior might get you places on the internet (have fun chatting on facebook about reddit posts until youre 35 and having 200k followers making barely enough to survive from twitch), but it really wont get you anywhere in real life in terms of success and happiness. I dont really care what your opinion is of me because I have found my happiness, I am focused on my success and I know I could retire from goldeneye forever and you will still never beat me.

 

[RWG]

There are literally quotes I could dig up in the Facebook group of relevant eliters where Clemens states that he's never heard of countries like Morocco, Yemen, Tunisia, etc.

Serious lols that he's claiming to know more about the world than me.

[RWG]

Fine

Your first line about depression that post is reasonable.

We've reached a successful ceasefire agreement.  Similar to the one in Israel and Palestine right now (have you ever heard of those places though?)

[Infil]

Your purported understanding of depression is itself depressing, Clemens.

But since this is troll central (aka, FFA), I'm not about to enter a serious discussion about it.

fair enough
I dont really want to argue with you tbh
we have our things about eachother we dislike
but at the end of the day half of it is trolling and we will always be friend so fuck it

sums up the relationship between many eliters

something r/speedrunners will never understand

I don't know who this guy is, but he's spot on. Congrats.

[ManceGaydar]

So a guy who was one of the most intelligent comedians in the world, had a great life, had worldwide legendary status, and more general life experience than any of us could hope to achieve kills himself... And you claim that depression is not a mental disorder. Ok then.

[Shadow]

Just as there is a danger in saying depression is never a mental disorder, so there is a danger in saying all of it is.

As it is, I agree that much of what we see in the US is avoidable. I wouldn't speculate if such is the case here and am sad that such a talented actor had such an end.

[Spec]

Now people are going to say that people who are overweight should just do a diet and work out, and they don't do that because they're idiots.

I know I could retire from goldeneye forever and you will still never beat me.

 

LOL Clemens killed it so hard

[50]

so hard

[DYM]

I know I could retire from goldeneye forever and Clemens will still never beat me.

[RWG]

I know I could retire from Goldeneye forever and pretty much the entire population minus 10 or so people still will never beat me.

[Carathorn]

really?

this turned out into a GE ranking show off?

<3

[Light]

Egos abound.

[RBlackGoose]

Clemens still owned him

[..]

"I know I could retire from GE..."

...from a bunch of people who have "retired" from GE and come back 100 times

So much this, also there is selfishness in suicide, but it's not from those that take their lives.

Big double-barreled middle finger salute to all the monday-morning quarterbacks who think they know everything about the subject while never being close to the situation at hand.

[Time was untied when set.]

Lmao the amount of assumptions in the above post is staggering. First you assumed i havent had suicidal thoights, then you assumed i havent dealt with suicide. Both of which are incredibly false.

Just because you disagree with someone doesnt mean it is ok to assume you know everything about them just because you feel you are right.

[Adam Miller]

I liked that film with the pirate in it.

[Illu]

the amount of assumptions people make about each other is staggering indeed but Clem did the same about Goose, and maybe I'm doing the same thing? just saying

suicide might be a selfish act but so is much else we do also

Robin Williams might have had a legit reason to kill himself, sure he had lots of good things in life, but what are good things in life without a dick? Maybe his dick got chopped off, or something like that really horrible happened? I'm just saying that even though you have everything in life doesn't mean something really really awful can't happen.

[RBlackGoose]

No, he was so happy, he suicided just because he is selfish.

That dick example is just
