10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
We, as many other families before us at the Hillcrest palliative care hospital in San Diego, had to pull the plug on my Dad because the insurance company thought he wouldn't recover so they used a psycho asshole to convince the family to just pull the plug. It's not worth loosing your house over loosing the person who worked his ass off to buy it.
Now imagine how awesome one of us would feel if dying from oxygen deprivation was actually more painful than other means? Wouldn't we then start asking for squad style send offs at the hospital?
I've been through pulling the plug and my dad didn't speak English so he's not gonna be mad if I joke about it...like you would go up to him and whisper some last words..."hey dad what's the admin password to the router again? And he would say " I'm tired, I'll tell you tomorrow. Then you would say, no you won't dad, no you won't, I'm so sorry". He might ask what do you mean I won't, you come back here you little shit and clarify that for me! But by that time you and your six siblings would each have cocked the guns already. One one of the guns would have the bullet and everyone would be blindfolded. Off they six pops go and then you grieve. Other things happen like the cleanup crew would have to do their job. The facial reconstructionist would come in with the hot glue gun and do his thing with spray paint and lipstick. I mean after they removed the gag.
But sure maybe lethal injection was the way to go. A little cleaner. You still gotta remove the gag later. I can't imagine electrocution as a proper way. But maybe a last palliative sunset view with Dynamite on the bed and a dead man's switch. That would be a real quick and painless way to go. Plus if you do it on a boat in Florida waters the circle of life would take care of it...and no awkward funeral!
Okay gotta go start the day 😁. This is all sarcasm and like I said, my dad doesn't or didn't speak English... with the gag and all...so anyway....
Is there a lemmy community for copypasta?
Did you enjoy my sarcasm? It's unclear....hold on, I think it's my phone.
