To that I would say it’s just inhuman that we largely insist suffering people continue until the body they’re trapped in literally gives out. It’s a sad, pathetic, demeaning way to go, regardless of whether you can also afford groceries and meds.

I think any adult should be able to have a painless opt out option with a 30 day waiting period. We treat people’s lives as if they don’t own them to do with what they will. I don’t think it’s right to encourage or insist people who are breaking down to cling to their misery when there are painless options we refuse to implement.

It’s a bit of a bad joke really, we don’t care enough about one another to support one another materially tragically, but we also don’t want those people to offend the rules of our imaginary sky daddies. It’s perverse. We literally have more compassion for our pets living in pain.

Exit, which is still preferable to what we do with most elderly in the states. I used to deliver to nursing homes for 10 years all day every day, educating patients on medical devices. I have seen and been informed first hand by too many to count, death is better. The happiest people in them have lost too many faculties to hold a conversation.

You don’t want to live in even a “nice” home with any marbles still rolling around. The garbage to nice ratio is 10 to 1, and even most of the studious savers who didn’t actually live don’t get the nice ones with tapestries and French chefs, those are for the elder exploiters.

There are almost no happy people in those places, the best you see are some quivering brave faces that break 5 minutes into someone from the outside engaging with them. I came to think of them as living mausoleums as I went through their halls.

Has the sun tried threatening potential converts?

Works gangbusters for for the most popular religions.

Hell, they usually steal the sun’s defining characteristic to threaten followers with: 🔥🔥🔥.

American capitalists would tell you if you don’t spend your life eating cat food in a van to save for retirement on a peasant’s wage then you’re “irresponsible.”

You know, the whole "you had a latte?! You ate avacado toast?! Of course you deserve to burn in the fires of elder poverty!"blame their own victims thing, as they spend 6k on a bottle of wine.

Life past 60 seems has always been a very strange priority to sacrifice for to me, at least if you can only afford to either live today or subsist today and save for life past 60, which has basically become the choice for most here in the US as most wages don’t allow for both, and many for either.

Let’s assume you make it there having not gotten hit by a bus or killed by cancer or your healthcare insurance confidence scheme provider.

You’ve literally saved up so you could enjoy life when your senses are failing you, your mind is growing dull and confused, your own frail body is betraying you in new ways constantly, and your time is largely spent managing the ever growing list of symptoms building up to your impending death.

Sure there are exceptions, people who remain verile and sharp into their seventies, but they are not the rule. That’s like planning your life around a future lottery win.

Live for today, especially if you’re into your 30s or beyond. Better to have memories of living when you could in the shitty home with bad food then having memories of working and saving in the good home with the decent food your failing taste buds can’t really even appreciate anymore.

Oh gee I hope I get to live long enough to piss myself involuntarily again! Maybe I’ll finally take that cruise so I can soil myself in style and stay in my cabin because my body can’t regulate it’s own heat efficiently anymore!

You forgot the fact that the 1% keep us poorly educated and propagandized against our own interests on purpose.

We’re so fucking stupid as a result, that Americans believe the following unironically:

Hey want to throw up? Here’s a Koch heir using daddy’s blood money to be “creative”

Which is proof they’re lobotomized by corporate culture and effectively dead inside.

Husks.

That’s the thing though, if they turn things into an overt police state against the masses, they’ll start losing the current ignoramuses who still think everything is fine.

If they escalate, they give their exploited capital batteries reason to escalate. Part of their whole grift is convincing their victims that we’re a society and that class war is unseemly. Retina scans, armed security, and bars between us and them makes them look even more like the enemies of the people. Please escalate, oligarchs, we need more of your rubes to see who you are more clearly.

This dystopia of propaganda based servitude where they use their media to turn us on one another using social wedges to maintain control only continues to work if they don’t start looking like the Corpo fascist empire that they are.

Always an excuse, by design.

Yeah, the ACA, a heritage foundation conceived health care bandaid that further enshrined for profit health insurance vultures into American Healthcare was the best thing the DNC could do last time they had a supermajority.

The DNC and the RNC take the same orders from the same bribers, defend their grift economy from us. Both parties work against the people.

The reason we don’t have any faith in government is because big corpo bought it because Reagan sold it and convinced both parties to keep it sold ever since.

Since the beginning of civilization, to know who’s to blame, you need only look at the richest fucks profiting most from it. The well bribed, revolving door middle managers in DC ain’t it.

Tolerance of greed, private shareholders demanding a firesale to goose the next quarter, growth/metastasis at all costs instead of equilibrium, the capital markets are what have destroyed us.

You mean their father’s last name?

"If you’re looking for self-help, why would you read a book written by somebody else? That’s not self-help… that’s help. There’s no such thing as self-help. If you did it yourself you didn’t need help. Try to pay attention to the language we’ve all agreed on. "

Find something to hate all you want, but the major Bethesda releases into today with a bunch of mod profiles could keep me in offline paradise for decades.

And it’s a bitch to get working right, and takes mods to do so, but you get Skyrim VR the working properly, and you won’t miss any of the modern live service bullshit.

I mean yeah in a crude sense.

But serial killer tours are booming, there’s like 5 different jack the ripper tour companies in London.

Like it or not, people appreciate the craft. Plus the most successful serial killers in history can’t hold a candle to a lot of capitalists that get puff pieces in Forbes killing their customers to increase profit. And don’t get me started on governments.

Serial killers are amateurs when it comes to mass murder. Rookie numbers. US schoolchildren have proven to be as good as the best of them by the numbers.

Serial killers are more like hipster artisinal murder craftsmen that want you to appreciate the intricacies of their methods.

(the first one though)
