i think it is incredibly unfair that the process of ending your own life is, in this culture, a necessarily lonely and grim affair.

according to the theory of complete bodily autonomy the option must be available, simple, painless, and ideally a joyful shared experience. but the moment you make such a desire known to others, they will try to “help” you. and i can assure you that their idea of “help” will not be pleasant for you.

so, sadly, you must tread this path alone.

philosophically, i think it offends people because it forces them to acknowledge that their own life is probably not worth preserving. we force each other to suffer through it all because no one wants to openly admit that this shit just plain-old-sucks.

i second this request. please

when was the last time you paid your taxes?.. or were they auto-deducted from your paycheck before you even had a chance to count it?

“you’re free to move to a place…” hahaha! haaahahaha! WHAT? you are not a serious person.

oh yes, i see now…

… YOU are part of the elect few who TRULY understand. of course!

shut it ALL down.

Bernie should use that gavel on Mullin’s head. shut that fucker up.

Watching their partner have sex with someone else sometimes sparked what they called “classic little jealousy issues,” which Adams said they resolved with “more communication, more growing up.” The money was just too good. And over time, they adopted a self-affirming ideology that framed everything as just business.

i swear this is the exact plot of “Boogie Nights”. i wish these young entrepreneurs all the best, but the movie didn’t exactly have a happy ending.

it’s so so sooooo difficult to take this language seriously. because EVERY election is phrased with this sky-is-falling rhetoric. i am 45 and for as long as i have been a voter, this-next-one is the-big-one.

nevertheless, i do actually think that this time bad things really will happen.

also, i want to get it out there that even though this guardian piece downplays “biden is old”, i cannot stress enough that i will unconditionally NOT vote for biden. so these fuckers better put up a reasonable candidate very quickly.
