### Un-obvious Behavior

Markdown-rs, the Markdown library I use, has some quirks with newlines that can be pretty frustrating if you are not familiar with how it works. In particular `<script>` and `<style>` tags will get some symbols mangled to their HTML safe versions if they contain a empty line, rendering the tag non-functional. It doesn't happen in every situation with a newline which makes it more annoying to troubleshoot. I will get this fixed at some point since its a pretty big pain point when making readable templates.

HTML and Markdown being right next to each other verses having an empty line between also affects output, the Markdown is either untouched and becomes the tag's `#text` or is compiled to HTML, respectively.

> This post is about suicide and a specific phrase that people will say to try and talk you out of it that drives me crazy. If that makes you uncomfortable, Sorry. Some of this is written in the first person but I assure you I'm fine.

Some months ago by now I was sitting in a pew doing my weekly wait for the socially acceptable time to leave the church building. We had a guest speaker in the pulpit. I forgot what he was mainly talking about and I don't think i ever really knew but somehow he got to saying the classic "Your life is incredibly valuable" line you've probably heard.

I really dont like this phrase and it's been sticking in my head for months and it's got me hating the paper-thin way some people will try to console people in that state of mind. I know people saying it likely mean well but I feel like there isn't enough thought put into whats said.
10

As someone thats worn that pair of lead shoes before, applying the concept of value to my life ia going to have the opposite of the intened effect for somebody that's already convinced themselves they're worthless. Or telling that to the person who's convinced that they are, or will be, just a replaceable cog in the orphan crushing machine and don't want to participate in that seeming inevitability. The hidden beg to not kill myself because there's still juice left to squeeze out of me, something left to be ground up and sold, there's still a God you need to worship, you don't want to feel guilty, do you? You've somehow removed me from the equation of myself (and by you I mean the strawman I've constructed). We only need you to live so you can come into work tomorrow.

I think im way too upset about it still but what a horrible paradigm to pass on. Rant over.

I like this album a whole lot even if it's production value is noticably worse than everything that Vinny made after. More somber than the rest of the Red Vox discography (which this is kind of a part of?) so I kind of gravitated to it during some of my shittier moments, or years.

Speaking of, I bought a ticket for the Red Vox Chicago show this morning and I am very excited. Will probably talk about that when it happens. Gush over.
