To them, am...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:14:37 GMT

Suicides need to be talked about more — but finding ways to prevent suicides is even more important. One solution is by discussing with your loved ones if you have suicidal ideations. On the other hand, reaching out to those whom you think are in trouble should also be done. But learning some of the causes of suicides can also be a solution. Recently, scientists came up with another hypothesis as to why there’s an increase in suicides whenever there’s a full moon — this phenomenon, apparently, has been happening for thousands of years.The Correlation Between Lunar Events and Full Moon SuicideHas the full moon always been observed to contribute to the increase in suicides or mental illnesses?The phenomenon of full moon suicide may have been noticed as early as the Roman times. Philosophers Aristotle and Pliny the Elder argued that the “nocturnal dew” was what caused lunacy and epilepsy during the full moon phase.Though we can no longer trace who coined the word “lunatic,” the Merriam...

‘Beau’ director Ari Aster is not afraid to freak people out

Beau may be afraid but Ari Aster certainly isn’t.Of the many words used to describe the writer-director’s previous two films — “Hereditary” and “Midsommar” — timidity was never of them. This is a filmmaker who has sent Toni Collette skittering across the ceiling and intricately arranged mutilated bodies the way some people make bouquets.But if any doubts remained about just how far Aster is willing to go, “Beau Is Afraid” should pacify them.
