I'm surprised how low suicide rates are at 2%. If I were an old sick person and steadily becoming more of a burden, there's no way in hell I would just leave it to nature to decide when I die, or let the profit-maximizing hospital bureaucracy make that call for me. I'm sure some old folk are afraid that suicide will send them to hell, as if God wouldn't understand.

We all say this when we don't have to cross this bridge yet. I hope you're as strong as you say you are when that day comes, I'm rooting for you

Easy to say when you're not yet the old sick person

[j_timberlake]

Yes it is, it's called planning-ahead for the extremely predictable.

Sure thing.

Also, I've never seen a hypen used in 'planning ahead' before.

lol, I upset you that much?

There are quite a lot of hyphens in this younger than open access to LLM models account’s posts.

[j_timberlake]

"Too many hyphens!" is definitely the dumbest insult I've ever seen for someone digging through a comment history, holy shit.

Its more like AI has made content from accounts created after 2022-2023 difficult to trust even more than the previous error of bots. Its like how nuclear tests made all steel not sourced from shipwrecks have too high of radiation to be used for high sensitivity radiation detectors

depends what the sickness is I guess

If I get alzheimers or dementia and there's no cure at that point.. yeah I'm out

My understanding is that in places where this isn't specifically allowed, pain medication is increased in a wink-wink kind of way when the time comes

>afraid that suicide will send them to hell, as if God wouldn't understand

i wish God were real and listening to this; he would smite you dead rite here rite now for your arrogance, mortal

[j_timberlake]

well I guess I just proved your God isn't real, sorry fsckboy

[fsckboy]

my comment expressed neither belief nor hope that God was real, just that you were arrogant to deny God's existence but still claim to know what He is thinking.

[rsynnott]

I mean, depends on the god, surely? That would be an extremely micro-manage-y god. Who has the time?
