The “ghouls” you speak of are just people who were able to afford shit back in the day.

Healthcare, a house, a few vacations abroad per year, kids and their education, all on (for the most part) just 1 job.

If you had all these things, yes, you’d probably be more FISCALLY conservative to preserve whatever amount of money you had saved and use it for retirement

Nowadays that reality has changed and was twisted into something that doesn’t reflect what it was, but the saying remained the same.

Basically shit doesn’t mean what it used to mean and people forgot that language and concepts evolve or erode over time.

Or if we want to make it more visual, on a scale from 0-100 where 0 is full liberal and 100 is full conservative, the needle was moved so far to the right that the “you’ll grow more conservative as you grow older” is now on the left side of the current status quo.

You need to have a bundle with both games in there called “The Milgram Obedience”

I’ll take a free bundle key for this contribution if it comes to fruition, thanks

Weirdly enough, there’s been A FEW of these types of games that were based either on a specific product or a specific brand, and they were for the most part, weirdly well done for the times they released in and actually sorta fun.

Off the top of my head, Pepsiman for a specific product and the whole lot of Lego games if we’re talking about a whole product line.

I think that whole genre is called advergames

Pathologic series and Gothic 1 remake

And when it does they’ll pivot to ai again, but this time, actual Indians

Pawn shops or jewelry stores that buy stuff might be options

Odd jobs like washing dishes at short staffed restaurants might also get you a day’s wage if you’re lucky to know some people in the business

Correct. They’re also manufacturing slightly less than they did the year prior iirc.

Seems physiologically unlikely since the process to orgasm should cause a rise in heart rate.

I’m no doctor tho.

I have occasional episodes of low blood sugar which cause bradycardia. I don’t know if it’s quite the same for others but for me it’s basically as follows

My body goes into panic mode and I’m borderline dizzy and having a rough time trying to focus on anything

Trying to sit down to do breathing exercises or staring at the phone makes the thoughts race while not being able to latch on to any specific thought in particular

This can last up to 2 hours at times

Takes a while before I manage to put 2 and 2 together and balance my sugar (which in short order gets rid of the bradycardia after about 15 minutes)

Teaching babies how to snort powder for breakfast must be exhausting.

No. Mil-spec is an actual certified standard

Military grade is basically just “we made this shit to look like it’d be good as a prop in a movie” no actual standards, just good enough to sorta kinda sometimes work and is made as cheap as possible.

Edit; interesting comment by the other fella in the same reply chain, maybe “military grade” also encompasses stuff that’s made for specific purposes but doesn’t need to withstand rigorous standards, just be good enough for this one thing this one time and not much else

Granted, YMMV depending on country and region.

Paper is cheap. Recyclable. And doesn’t have the somebody “forgot to wash their hands” or “spilled some shit on these” factor that reusable ones would be subjected to

Tipping

Decalisse outta here with that bullshit lol

The french language is a mess even on a good day, and should you try to speak it in France they just look at you like you’ve insulted their entire culture before switching to English.

Upvoted.

Still no bitches tho.

Using the closet rod for that extra cable management

Perfection.

TLDR: Supporter packs and game soundtrack as “dlc” is basically free money

Appreciate the kind words. I have had various approaches to try and “treat” this over the course of the last 15+ years, including the ones you named, like I mentioned, not exactly a new phenomena on my end.

If there was a suicide booth or a euthanasia clinic for people who just want to peace out, I’d have visited it 15+ years ago or any day since then, including today.

Also while I understand the notion that access to substances and firearms and whatnot might increase the risks of impulsive momentary courage (or stupidity), an average home and convenience store offer many items which can effectively facilitate the deed, don’t need to be super elaborate with hugging a grenade or slobbering on the barrel of a shotgun for an effective method… granted if the plan is to go out with a bang, who am I to stop it.

Sucks about the tumor though. May you easily outlive the expectations if you so desire

I can see where you’re potentially coming from.

But I don’t think you comprehend how violent an act of suicide is in almost all cases.

It takes an insane level of commitment to go through with that the first time, more so for the subsequent attempts.

Also of the people who really aim to end it, succeed on the first try.

I don’t know about you, but if given the choice, I probably wouldn’t be here. There’s nothing particularly wrong with me physically, I just don’t want to be here.

Been the case over a decade ago. Pretty much back as long as I can remember. Still the case today.

I do agree with the point that a humane way out will probably have a net positive impact in almost all cases. Especially if it comes with “here’s a list of things you should consider doing to lessen the impact on your family and significant other” or something of the sort. Needless to say, but should be entirely optional.

I don’t think I agree with the “other treatments” mentality though. That just sounds like what the Americans are doing with their abortion clinics trying to emotionally blackmail people into not aborting their child by forcing you to listen to heartbeats and look at ultrasounds.

And shouldn’t need to be terminally ill or old.

If I wanna peace out (humanely) at any age past adulthood, I should be able to.
