This is pretty much my understanding and the inferences I've gotten from people who work in hospice. Instead of having someone suffer in their final days, just drug them up and let them fly away in some peace.

That's my plan. I've never used heroin or anything like that but was always curious since it's described as so pleasurable. That seems like a good way to out since I get to skip the becoming homeless and withdrawal parts.

Related, I always wondered why we don't just use Fentanyl for prisoner executions? I mean, I'm 100% against the death penalty but so long as we legally have it and worry about what constitutes cruel and unusual punishment, why not just load a person up with fent since it's so deadly? No more botched executions and AFAIK it's painless.

If we wanted a guaranteed execution every time without fuss or muss we'd just put them on nitrogen until they asphyxiate, which by all accounts that I'm aware of feels like you just falling asleep peacefully and then you die.

opiods are usually pleasurable, ODing on them is usually not. You probably could come up with a dosage that would instantly end the life of every human with working opiod receptors, but you can do that with lots of things in theory, and the dose is going to end up decided by committee with budget considerations in mind.

If you had a system that was genuinely compassionate about human life but also needed to make large numbers of people dead because they have poor socialised behaviour, you'd just use an inert gas. You see videos of people doing hypoxia/high altitude experiments/news stories and they're always having a great time, looking drunk and dumb as poo poo, mere seconds from a death they have no ability to understand or conceive of.

Exactly this. I think the topic came up in this thread before, but yeah, some British guy did a documentary about more "humane" execution methods and trying to sell Americans on them, and they were completely mystified by the idea.
The suffering is the point, dying is just their cue to stop for the day.

Aren't they starting to do inert gas executions in Oklahoma and some other states for humane reasons like "nobody will sell us execution drugs but we've got a ton of welding gas" or did that all go wrong?

Honestly that would be enough for me to not want someone who is clearly either an rear end in a top hat or deranged poking around in one of my vulnerable areas.

Or at least that is what I would tell myself before quietly mumbling and just letting them get back to work.

There is a marked difference between actual veterans and ARE TROOPS in their minds.

ARE TROOPS don't ask for healthcare or struggle with PTSD or homelessness, they just show up and smile and wave for the parade crowds and are just happy to have served.

So countless people across the country have heard from their friend that their cousin knows someone who works at a school that is infested by furries, and that the school is accommodating them by setting out litter boxes. They are absolutely sure that this is happening in their kid's school despite not a single instance of it being documented anywhere in the country, ever. Which one might be able to point out to them, for all the good it'll do.

Tell me how dumb this paranoid invasive though I had is: We've all seen kids do extremely dumb stuff, and the longer this panic goes on, the more likely it is that some dipshit kid is going to do something with a litter box as an epic joke or something.

It doesn't have to be that extreme, I'm just imagining hell being unleashed when a kid gets caught on camera listening to music on those gamer cat ear headphones or something.

If you hear someone saying this, plainly and without dramatics let them know it's to collect waste during school shooting lockdown drills. They're usually stored near the tampons that are nearby to plug potential bullet wounds, by the DNA collection kits.

None of the people who pass these rumors around knows how kids work at all. If someone was going around school dressed like a cat (triple-especially if they were pissing in a litter box) that person would have been e-bullied so hard it would have been on the local news in a segment introduced by a barely-keeping-it together anchor making a bunch of awful cat puns before showing a video of the worlds most bulliable adolescent

No video no way it happened, high schoolers aren’t keeping this hush hush out of the goodness of their heart because most of them don’t have any because teenagers suck. The idea that this has happened in multiple states and the only people who are talking about it are state legislators and credulous facebook moms is laughable

Yeah, I remember having a classmate who was Wiccan in high school, she used to wear a little cape and had a pentagram pendant and was teased mercilessly for this. And we didn't even live in a super fundie area, people just thought she looked so silly they were compelled to loudly comment on her appearance.

Someone that was all like 'I'm a catboy, meow" would get teased into oblivion by contrast. No way in hell would anyone with any authority be sympathetic enough to be making "accommodations" like litter boxes.

so digging into the litter box thing a bit, and it's apparently based on an actual grim practice of some schools offering buckets and kitty litter for classrooms in the event of an active shooter lockdown if students or teachers are locked in a classroom and need to go
