Herd immunity

The trouble is they're putting others at risk who, for varying reasons, are unable to be vaccinated. That is irresponsible, to say the least.

It's certainly the case that many media outlets may have guidelines for suicide reporting for some of the the very reasons you mention, though it appears in the US, at least, there are no industry-wide standards. One other possible reason for not reporting on the contents of, or mentioning, a note is that many, and possibly even most, suicides do not leave a note. I was surprised to learn this, personally, as media/entertainment portrayal of suicide lead me to believe that leaving a note was a normal part of the whole process.

> Almost every native culture on Earth has legends about a "golden age" when a more advanced civilization existed, which then disappeared during a subsequent "dark age".

This idea appeared and appears every time after the war, specially in conquests with the resulting establishment of an oppressive regime. With time, it becomes part of the "legendary history" and conforms the roots of many independence movements and nationalisms.

Yeah, if you want to see how that thing could actually work, look at the Tempts Fate segment of the Goblins comic (currently on hiatus).

Here's how it goes: At the beginning of the month, the author posts an initial setting comic; at the bottom of the comic are several obstacles that Tempts Fate (the main character) will have to pass. Each obstacle is associated with a donation goal.

When the date of the obstacle rolls around, Tempts Fate will only defeat the obstacle if the goal has been met. How easily Tempts Fate defeats the obstacle depends on how much money over the goal the author has received.

If the donation goal hasn't been met, Tempts Fate will die.

The author initially started this several years ago, probably expecting that Tempts Fate would die in a couple of issues. Right now it's paused because the author has other stuff going on, but so far Tempts Fate has been no less than a little Goblin ninja; the donation goals are almost always exceeded, and sometimes by quite a lot.

...what's the point of having four color output if the input is still three colors? If the input isn't in four colors, then this is just a gimmick on par with Creative Labs' "24-bit sound".
