You don't fucking know that! He had a terminal illness which is terminal and it was his right to deal with that and treat it on his own terms, not yours. You don't know everything. I too have a terminal illness and you can't force me to die in a fucking hospital hooked to machines with incessant beeping and exploited nurses who need to to take a nap. I don't want them to drain everything so my wife gets nothing but an insurance pay out. I want to die at home with my wife and my cat and all my shit on my own fucking terms and fuck you if you say anything else.

Literally fuck you for denigrating sick people and terminal people for not doing what you want them to do with your ideas and shaming them. You are a fucking asshole.

I don't think you know the whole story and you think you know what happens inside peoples heads. Steve jobs had pancreatic cancer with a 5 year survival rate of 10% for eight years, he already beat the odds. He had a kind of cancer computer fabricators got in the 70s and ravaged grey beard engineers across silicon valley.

You really have no idea what you are talking about, what it is like to be sick and what chemo does to you. It is their right not to seek treatment and to go out with dignity if that is their decision and that doesn't make them a moron.

The US is currently a fascist dictatorship. Both parties in the US function as a single unit uniparty. Don't forget they repealed abortion rights under a democrat. The US legislator (Congress) is corrupted and captured and their supreme court is not different from Iran with religious fundamentalists that have lifetime appointments with power to review any case law. It literally doesn't matter. The Kristallnacht is coming and no voting will stop it, just like voting never stopped the German Nazi's. Is idea here to just have the Democrats win every election forever?

And you really think someone who has the best medicine in the would choose to not treat because they are dumb dumbs or because they probably know its useless to treat? If I were him I wouldn't take chemo either after watching what it did to my sister in her 50s.

I simply do not believe that first statistic that you googled from a Finnish study. 80 is over the median age of most people. Now if you are King Charles and you are probably going to die in 5 - 10 years anyway do you want to spend your last 5 years extremely sick getting poisoned by chemo or do you want to spend it doped up on drugs having everything you can possibly want while you get to be the king you waited for 75 years to be then meet the inevitable anyway?

Absolutely an edge case and not typical of anyone's experience. Several of my family members are dead after painful chemo in their 50s

It means at his age the only thing cancer treatment can do is prolong your 5 year survival without regard to quality of life. Nothing he will do at this point will really prolong his life further than it has gone and taking chemo will undoubtedly ruin the last few years and chances are chemo doesn't work and you die near-term anyway. Oncology has pitiful success rates.

New York is the only city in the US the rest are a bunch of suburbs and sundown towns. I'd rather be paid not to go to Amerikkka

No.

Star Trek is a pulp show from the 60s which is fun to watch. TNG is an iconic show and now classic nothing really needs to be said about on this kind of thread. DS9 subverted the optimism and introduced an episodic drama and was a good ending to the era. Voyager is understood to be best as pop Trek that scratched the itch for the time and kind of fell apart.

Nothing else will ever be worth while from the property and all that remains is just un-creative vultures attached to a "franchise" handing out trek themed slop on a corporate project managers schedule. It exists solely to engage the nostalgia segments of your brain and will do nothing to enrich your life. Picard won't even entertain you.
