As a former infantryman with the 101st ABN, I hope you try to kill yourself again and actually succeed this time, you human piece of s**t.

@dfdfss

there was a hesiation in your mind that you dont want to die thats why you ended up like that...

if you really want to die you could just blow your brains out...

dont blame android or the app... blame yourself for not being strong enough....

this is the time when you can say that s**t happens even when trying to commit suicide...
