quote:

I want to preface this confession with that I am not suicidal and this is not suicidal ideation. My life is going awesome and I enjoy it and I don't want to die and want to enjoy it for many more years.

That being said, I google safe suicide methods lately and decided to prepare for it in case I get terminally ill or just too old. I've seen family members and acquaintances waste away of old age or cancer and I am horrified of the same happening to me. I find the healthcare system and it's whole approach horrendous in this regard and find it disgusting how often even peoples wishes for a quicker death are ignored because others just want to cover their asses. If things get really bad often the only lawful way out for people is to reject eating and drinking. How hosed up is that? We put animals down that suffer and wouldn't let them starve to death if they can't eat by themselves anymore but we don't offer the same clemency to fellow humans. My parents are getting up there in age and have all kinds of health problems that amass and they don't want to see this. They refuse to even put down their will. They think they'll live forever and as a result I'll be stuck with a huge mess if they're starting to die. With modern medicine, the process of dying can take years and quality of life can end up being zero long before the last breath. They just don't want to see it. It's terrible.

So yeah, when I get to that particular crossroads (and I wrote "when" not "if" because I will, you will, we all will) and still have enough braincells to rub together and enough control over my body, I'm going to end it quickly and on my terms. Nobody can blame me for that. It's a pity that I can't call on doctors to do it safely for me and have to do it in a hidden way, like I am doing something illegal. My life and the right to end it is mine you fucks. I blame religion.

You can get a tattoo saying "Do Not Resuscitate" and "No Feeding Tube". In the case of your parents, get Durable Power of Attorney now. It unburdens them from making these decisions and you can make the tough decisions when the time comes.

This tat wasn't binding, but the hospital's ethics board decided to honor it anyway; according to the New England Journal of Medicine, though, the tattoo "produced more confusion than clarity".

In the current state of affairs it looks as though a DNR tattoo isn't binding, but will tend to keep doctors from using heroic lifesaving measures while the paperwork for your actual DNR order (which you should damned well have if you're considering a DNR tat) is found.

So, uh, a while back, someone wrote in claiming to be Rod "He Hate Me" Smart of XFL fame, and alleged that he had successfully pitched a second XFL

quote:

I told you my XFL ideas were sold.

XFL is back, better than ever. Still no kneeling, no PC thugs allowed. Troops allowed to play. Multipliers for faster action.

Lol that I was right and you faithless fools doubted.

I mean, I don't know any of the specifics of the new XFL's rules (other than "no PC thugs allowed"), but your confession didn't mention Vince McMahon, and unless I'm mistaken, Vince didn't mention Rod Smart in his launch announcement

Can someone more up-to-date on pro-wrestling-football than me verify if any of the other crap he mentioned came true? The post is here and he claimed there was gonna be all kinds of weird poo poo like VR headsets in every seat

quote:

I'm a junior in college, did my first two years at the local CC and then moved about 1000 miles away for my last two.

Over winter break last month I came home for the full three weeks. I was crashing most of the time at various friends' places instead of my parents' house.

One night during this time I stayed at my friend Courtney's house. She still lives with her family, and they were cool with me staying there because we're in our 20s now and they've always liked me, and they have a guest room which I stayed in. We've always been just friends, I feel sometimes like she's into me but it's never been made explicit. I've never made a move on her because one of my best friends is in love with her and it would crush him, and I've always had other options. I would LOVE to gently caress her but I doubt it's ever gonna be in the cards.

In the morning she asked if I wanted to take a shower, and I said yes. I asked her which soap and shampoo was hers. She said I could use any of the ones in there, it didn't matter, but that the coconut ones were hers.

Anyway, while showering I got kinda horny imagining how often she was naked in this same spot, and I jerk off. I start thinking about how much I'd like to cum on her, and I realize I could cum in her body wash and she would end up rubbing it all over herself every time she showered for like a month or two. It was almost a brand new bottle.

I opened the top and did the deed, and I shook it up and put it back. And later in the day while we were getting lunch, I realized how hosed up it really was that I did that. She'll never know though, so whatever.

yeah uh

this is one of those impulses you probably shouldn't act on, but I guess at least she'll probably never know about it

That one's a little contrived to me. Nobody asks whose bodywash is whose when they're a guest. If it's a towel or bar of soap then fine, but usually a normal person would just give you one for yourself in those situations. It sounds like he thought "what if someone wonders how i knew which bottle to put it in? Oh i know, this will fool them".

Might have been based on the post in the r/relationships thread awhile ago where someone jerked off into a bottle of body wash "as a prank".

Otherwise, I can't imagine the kind of shithead you'd have to be to have that thought go through your mind with anything other than immediate, visceral revulsion.

I feel like I'm falling apart. I was diagnosed with ADHD while I was in the service but I stopped taking medication after I got out. My motivation began to decline and I went to a psychiatrist to see what was up but I feel worse now. He put me on concerta and trazodone but the concerta just made me feel high/energized and the trazadone hasn't been helping with my sleep. I don't think I've gotten more than 3 hours a sleep a night in months and now I've been having panic attacks about my overall health. I'll just be sitting on the bus and my heart will start racing, and at night I feel like I snap awake as soon as I begin to drift off. Nothing seems to help me sleep, not the trazadone, not sleepytime tea, melatonin, over the counter sleep aids. Nothing. I stopped taking the concerta, but I still take a trazodone before bed.

I don't ADHD is the real issue, I feel like poo poo and I'm exhausted. My next appointment isn't for a few weeks.

This is somewhat less anonymous than the usual post ITT, but: are you working? You should probably take a little break if you are; under the circumstances I'm sure it's worth it unless you're paycheck-to-paycheck. In which case, it might be time to lean on your support structure for a little while. You sound like you're super stressed.

Thank you all for caring about my fate. It's a long story and some things maybe better remain unsaid though. No, I did not get married thankfully. I almost got stabbed and had a lot of times last year where I seriously feared for my life. I also live in Siberia now. Tomskaya Oblast is all I'm going to say, and only because I don't think anyone of you even ever came here let alone lives here. No, this is not a joke. Incredibly cold but beautiful. I'd say more but I have to get to work. I'm still alive, just not a lot of time for writing long musings about my life. I live in a place where people still live in log houses and it's like -30C on good days in winter. (the other week it was -40C for a while) Everything's so different here. My window iced over the other day. From the inside. I'd write more but I have to get to work and need to start to layer my clothing on. I'm ok. Don't worry about me folks. I got a new lease on life.

I was saying "no you didn't/don't" basically every sentence in that post. At least put some effort in the fakes. Fleeing to siberia, the most stereotypical isolated wasteland there is? At least pick somewhere less obvious, like Greenland or something. Also you can't just up and move to another country unless you meet their visa eligibility which usually requires being hired for a job that can't be filled by a citizen.

this happens to me a lot and I don't know what causes it. What specifically happens is i'll super gradually become asleep and start dreaming, 30 seconds later i'll realize i'm dreaming and then pop awake. Anyway drinking a lot of coffee in the early day, and making sure I work out seems to help, but it's not some major revolutionary cure. Good luck goon.
