    I really hope one day people will look back at those practices the same way we look back at the normality of cigarettes being pushed on everyone back in the 50’s.

          the same sucky life is even worse with heart disease, not that I don’t sympathise with the desire to get out but that’s a really dumb way to do it

            One of my favourite people used to say “you gotta die from something” whenever the topic of his smoking would come up. Then he got a stroke that didn’t kill him.

              Ya if it was just death itd be one thing, but becoming mentally disabled or something from a stroke is scarier to me

            how about weaponizing your willingness to die against the world that made you want to instead of just dying peacefully
