haha rip the system down.
Oh, the massive loan fraud situation, corporate poatching of talent and patents, the fact that most collages are run by a bunch of greedy, nepotistic fucks, whose concern for acedemia begins and ends with football teams.
The slow moving enshitification has been going on for years, and soon people who want to be taken seriously in the market place will either avoid US collages altogether or go to foreign collages.
Uni's will be fine, but collages? Without management reform, we'll be seeing a downward curve regarding their legitimacy - from an academic point of view, of course.
"A culling of the sick"? Are you kidding me? Bruh, we liv in western liberal capitalist democracies. We want them to live so we can exploit the shit out of then.
Secondly, you're saying because the process is rarely used, it should not be codified? How does that make sense? It still needs a form of legal protocol and framework, especially for something like this - and that includes several steps, several people, consensus.
Semantics, mf. Do you speak it?!
But then who decides if the patient is of sound mind?
Professional psychiatrists, the family and the individual... like seriously. Do you think the process is easy? Go on, brew some coffee or tea and then sit to search how certain countries handle dignified end of life.
See how that process is usually a long series of tests, conversations and verification. It's not "let's pop down to the doctors and get grandma euthanised". It's an insane amount of beurocracy and a lot of time before you even get close to a due date, and even then you can cancel at any time.
I think people need to get more informed about this issue, because you can't exactly form an opinion without seeing how something like that can work IRL, when it's been proven to work IRL. More people are accepting of it and a lot of pain and heartache will be spared because of it, because at the end of the day it's about dignity.
Forcing people to continue when they can have no life to continue, when they are a financial and emotional burden on their families and unable to actually grow and live, like an actual person, like me and you. To force them to just sit there, like a potted plant, like a doll you put away on the shelf when you return to your life. That is selfish, that is undignified.
That's the same thinking that allows governments to justify poking holes in cryptography, only in reverse. "Oh we have to catch the terrorists and the PDF files." Oh yeah? What about the journalists, the political dissidents, the leakers? All swept under the same rug.
Saying that some people who will abuse the privelige is kind of wild though. Imagine going through the process for what, 4 years.. 6 years, if getting a dignified end in the Netherlands, being constantly monitored by psychiatrists and talking with family members, as if it's as easy as getting a smoke.
In fact, that's a great episode idea for South Park. Cartman disappears for a few years and we only get glimpses of him facetiming the boys from the Netherlands, because he's ¼ Dutch (half the broncos have Dutch family lines) - and Cartman absolutely hates the Dutch. After 2 years, he gets bored and comes home.
Good. The right to a dignified end of life should not be infringed when the conditions of living are unbearable.
Those who want some people to sit around and suffer, to not be able to participate in anything, to be a high maintenance ornament in someone's life, because they feel it's morally incorrect to give someone peace, need to get their heads checked and their morals examined pronto.
Forcing someone other than yourself to suffer because of your morals is sociopathic. You don't live that life, so you don't get to decide. You already have your own priveliged life to decide over. It's not your right to decide what other people do with theirs, even if you're close family. If a person is of sound mind and wants to start that long, beurocratic laden process, then so be it.
There should be barrier to entry, but not a complete ban.
Verily, since it's the gulf stream that brings in warm waters and hot air. If it doesn't break, it'll bring a lot of good weather.
It's easy. He wants more pressure, more punishment, also it's a good excuse to get out now since colleges are doomed in the US due to reasons.
When the temperature changes that notion is going to be quaint and nostalgic.
30s my dude. My how the turn tables.
Some women are based. They're just like "I'm gonna find a partner and just go hard. Let's look on social media. Bam. Found one." You have to appreciate, nay - be in respect and awe of the pure gall, the nerve, the gumption of this lady, the globes on this bitch. She made a life like it was nothing. I am intimidated, elated and my breath has been taken away.
God speed, dear lady. God speed...
