An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.
That question has kept me from ctb. I planned on throwing everything out but then what if I change my mind at the last minute. Then I have an empty apartment with no stuff.
If I ctb without throwing stuff away then people will go through my stuff.
I'm gonna donate most of my stuff to the homeless. I was homeless for a little while a few years ago and thats a really hard life so anything I could do to make it easier on someone going through some similar to what I went through would be worth it.

This is perhaps my greatest logistics struggle. Being a bit older than most of the crowd here, I have accumulated non-trivial collections of books, movies, and music. Most of the life I keep away from people is in a storage unit.
I haven't the time/space to devote to selling everything, not to mention the attention it will attract.
No, you cannot just show up to a library and dump all of your stuff on them. They do not want it. My first experience with Half-Price Books was something of a joke; I may try a second.
I haven't a good solution for this as of yet.
In the end, I am throwing myself away because I am worthless; perhaps it is best if I view my possessions not as carriers of value but as the valueless empty wrappers for experiences (reading, watching, listening) that I am going to discard anyway.
I plan to do nothing with my stuff even though it costs a lot of money and could help family in need. I plan to do nothing just in case of the slight possibility I fail to ctb. I wouldn't want to be poorer than I already am if I fail.

I will sell all of my consoles (PS4, Switch, 3DS) as well as my drawing tablet and have fun with the money before I kill myself. My computer is too old so I will just kill the hard drive and leave the rest for others to use should they want. It is old but it still runs most modern games and stuff. My phone is a joke so I might as well just throw it into the trash bin.
I'll be selling a lot of stuff to help keep me afloat and fund the method. However I'm planning on leaving a journal with writings, calendar activities, and drawings instead of a note. My laptop and phone will be wiped and sold before I ctb so my goodbye here will probably be in advance.

I just went to get coffee, so I have energy to clear my apartment today.
Now I'm still sitting right here finishing my coffee and then I will start to pick up everything and trash most of them.

Man my collection of snes games is so precious to me I almost want to carry on just so I can play them otherwise getting all of them was as much a waste of time as anything else. It's all I have to show for over a decade. I place so much importance on them because I have to but not if I 'm going to die I don't. I want to leave them for the offspring I'm trying to create (don't need another debate about the rights and wrongs of that). I don't know if it's going to happen anyway or how much longer I can keep going so worst comes to the worst I'll have to leave them to my brother (no offense to my brother, the one family member who hasn't wronged me and who has a few games himself)
I'm gonna donate most of my stuff to the homeless. I was homeless for a little while a few years ago and thats a really hard life so anything I could do to make it easier on someone going through some similar to what I went through would be worth it.
I couldn't care less about all the stuff i'll leave after my ctb. I mean, i gave this subject some thought, but i always end up drawing the same conclusion: if i die, it really doesn't matter at all. Maybe my family will take care of my things; maybe they will be donated to charity. The universe always finds an way to move things to a new place. An posthumous logistics is not very important if you think about it.

It's just material goods, and aside from the sentimental value of a few items, none of it is really unique or special. Let some family member, struggling students or homeless person have my stuff. It doesn't really matter to me.
My car is an issue that i must sort out before ctb. It's down needing an engine rebuild. It was my pride and joy for nearly a decade but alas .. it's become a burden. I don't have the funds anymore to build it like i wanted to. I've recently decided after 2 years of it not running that i should sell it and use up the money.
My family can sell my other car (cheap) daily driver to help cover funeral cost.
All the rest i own should go to my brother and mother.
Why does it matter what happens to your possessions after you die? Just keep them in case you dont go through with it. Unless you have child porn on your devices or something...
I have a shopping problem and have wasted so much of my money and myself into material items. I need to sell all of it on ebay but everytime I start thinking about the listing and the shipping and the dealing with people I'm filled with anxiety and just crawl in bed.
