this is a choice everyone should be allowed to make. although i understand the concerns of the disabled woman in the video (for example, Canada's MAID has some alarming issues) she is wrong to imply access to assisted suicide means disabled people are not worth as much as abled people. unfortunately, capitalists would rather kill sick people than spend money to save them, so abuse will occur as long as profit is part of our culture, but dying on your own terms as opposed to the whims of an illness is giving you your control back. there is no humanity in suffering. we don't even let terminal patients suffer, we pump them full of drugs. everyone should have the right to avoid a prolonged, painful death.

this is rather positive. my boyfriend is worried because dementia affected both his grandparents. i'm glad to read each successive generation had lower rates.
yup, it's frustrating as hell. it sounds like it makes sense though, so many people just accept it without thinking. there are far more voters who become suppressed because of voter ID laws than any voter ID law has prevented or stopped illegal voting. it's ridiculous. i beg of liberals to just fucking do any research about it at all, please.
as a wisconsinite, you're welcome lol. i was very worried. Schimel was leading and i became despondent and stopped watching. very happy things turned around. however, the voter ID passed and that shit pisses me off.
real unfortunate no one was harmed.
i have struggled with understanding my "lack of drive" concerning employment ever since i became aware of my issues. i used to blame myself and think of myself as fundamentally broken or selfish and cruel. i'd think to myself "other people can do this, this is a normal expected thing, do it" without realizing that while performing labor is normal it isn't normal to be forced into working an excessively long schedule in order to remain alive. the problem i have isn't that i have to do things and i wish people who reject my limitation would understand that. i want what i do to fucking matter to the community i exist in. i want the one life i get to experience to be tilted more towards our individuality and not the demands of the oligarchy. i guess not being able to handle living in a fucking prison makes me "disabled." fine.
i do hope it doesn't take that long for me, but i am under no delusion that it'll be speedy. i did have them mail me some paperwork to fill out recently after submitting my initial applications months ago, so.. hey.. progress! i'll definitely be contacting someone in my area then.
hey real quick, why are you even bothering to leave this comment? do you realize you are posting in a community meant for disabled users telling somebody who considers themselves disabled that "relying on other people to survive" is going to "make things worse" for me because i'm not "fixing the problem?" this is an astonishingly negative view about me and my limitations based on nothing. you tell me to try to find work i like to do as if that isn't something i have pursued.
me having more free time doesn't equate to having more struggles, i don't know why you would assume such a thing not knowing anything about me other than this post. this was very unhelpful and honestly insulting.
ah, thanks for the information. i will do some research in my area then.
i'm ready to do whatever is asked barring anything associated with a cost like acquiring a lawyer, unfortunately. i have had the same doctor for the past 11 years and he encouraged me to try and apply. he can verify and vouch the many things i have tried and still struggle with, but.. idk the process, so i'm sure i'll be sent to specialists i have no rapport with. either way i'm at a loss here. this is a last resort. next step is more permanent.
it's funny and interesting but isn't this just an LLM doing what it does and predicting the conversation based on a large number of variables?
stolen because there's no way a billionaire could lose to the poor?
