I mean, yeah. They're cold and sparsely populated. Also Alaska is dark for like 23 hours a day several months of the year

Not quite. They have nothing on Greenland.
Also South Korea beats Montana and Wyoming.
I think the implication was pretty clear that these places have the highest suicide rates within the USA.
But this isn't TIL USA, so that clarification should be included, not implied.
Really? You see 3 different state names listed and the domain is cdc.gov. Your post history says you’re a Swiss resident and shows you commenting on a fair amount of American stuff, so you should know the CDC is American and more than likely is talking about American stuff.
If I saw you post from https://www.bag.admin.ch/, I would see a foreign domain and then look it up to understand what it is while using this wonderful thing called critical thinking to extrapolate that it’s probably going to be Swiss information.
I sure as fuck wouldn’t comment, “This isn’t TIL Switzerland, maybe you should have clarified!”
@kn33@lemmy.world is right in their reply.
There are two kinds of people in this world. The first can extrapolate from incomplete information. The second would apparently be yourself.
I mean CDC is a US agency whose scope is inside the US. Nothing claims these are highest in the world
Ah yes Greenland and South Korea, both famously within the CDC's jurisdiction
like it or not; we are a biologically social species... or else
I wonder if the dose makes the poison or you have a useful trait for lone hunter or trapper
Just because current evolutionary pressures aren't catering to your genetic predispositions doesn't mean you're not human. Consider how successful you'd be if the pandemic and social distancing had never stopped.
For the average person, sure, but some of us thrive in solitude. Like I have a family and that is great, but sometimes I want to just be alone and only a few people are more fun to be around than just being alone.
Not sure how that would be an issue for just doing things while living like raising food, building and repairing things. It isn't like I start thinking negative or harmful things when alone, the solitude actually makes it easier for introspection and questioning of ideas society promotes that are contradictory.
For me being an introvert is the reason I enjoy being alone with my thoughts. So much easier with fewer interruptions.
i'd say it can be very good...but it's very suseptible to bad actors and just generally falling apart if key community members die at wrong time.
Rural living saved my sanity. To each their own.
