Literally.

Homemade nitrogen asphyxiation device is my retirement plan.

    Isn't that the method used in all those state death penalty executions that kept making the news several years back for not going as smoothly as they claimed it would? You know, the method they switched to when the only manufacturer of the one of the drugs needed for the normal method started refusing to sell it to the USA?

    Funny how there's been no news about them of late, considering the current political environment... 🙄

    I don't believe so, it's the method I've heard of that the "suicide pods" use in other countries unless that's the same thing. Supposedly your body starts freaking out when there's a buildup of CO2, so if I can displace that with nitrogen and still vent out the CO2 then it should work fine.

    Yeah, I'm aware (for similar reasons). The description I read in one article at the time sure made it sound very similar, though. Any idea what they're doing if not that?

    No idea what they'd be using, but since it was for executions in the US I wouldn't for one second doubt it was a shitty quality device from a private company that was just taking in tax dollars and to hell with the outcome for the person in it. :/

    That's exactly what happened. The supplier cut corners and the device didn't flush the CO2 away resulting in an agonizing death suffocating on CO2. They also didn't supply enough nitrogen and just used whatever tank they could procure from a welding supply store.

    A nice hike into the remote backcountry culminating in watching a sunset from somewhere scenic while enjoying some whiskey and a last PBR, then a shot of the ol’ .44 is my plan. Saves someone the trouble of cleaning up the mess, the hassle of having to hike up there to spread my ashes, and the coyotes get a free meal. It’s a win for everyone.

    I have saved a bunch of pills, like bottles and bottles, because I came off a medication but still let it be renewed every time. I'm ready for whenever I think it's time.

    Exactly as republicans expect you to.

    Not until they've squeezed every last cent out of you they can with the least investment in maintaining your health possible. Much like any other common, readily-replaceable piece of equipment at your workplace.

    As a 34 year old, I welcome death. You mean I still need to do this for 35 more years??!! Fucking hell! Why do people like bringing children into this hellscape?

    Well, I tried to report a child that wants to off himself on the 18th June. Everyone is appathetic, no one cares.

    Am I supposed to care about these people who let this happen?

    I'm fine with humans dying out for this reason.

    Entitled 70 year olds want to "retire" when they could be earning value for shareholders till the hour of their deaths.

    So my slop-radar dings this one but the only things I can see are the nonsensical third tube on the lower left and the left crane just floats in the air. I hate this.

    Each shoe of the left guy are drawn separately. If this wasn't AI, the artist 100% would have copy pasted them since they're at the same angle in a flat perspective. AI generated for sure.


    Edit: Since I am a psychopath with too much time on their hands, here's an animation showing the differences:

    An actual artist would have either A) copy and pasted the shoe making it identical, or B) drawn two separate shoes resulting in more differences.

    Because these are only slightly different but share so much at the same time, such as having the exact same shoelace pattern, I'd put my money on AI. Literally no one draws like this.

    Ha, this demonstrates another thing I think is very weird, that line in the background that almost lines up with the lines of their shoes / trousers. An artist would either make them line up (weird) or move the line in the background up or down, so they are distinct lines.

    It looks like a dreamstime stock image, at least there's a watermark. Or does dreamstime now expect people to pay for slop stock too now?

    Oh, interesting. I'm pretty sure Dreamstime was one of the first domains I blocked manually to get rid of slop on image searches before I got Ublock lists for that. So that watermark makes me think even more that this is slop.

    Rent seek, but not social safety net like a filthy parasite. There's a distinction and it's important in America. Have you earned the right to take other's labor? /s

    I've been thinking about putting a nice poster or painting on my ceiling, so when I die at my desk if I happen to slump backward at least a nice poster will be the last thing I see.

    I have worked hard my whole life raising a family. There is no way my meager retirement plus social security (if it exists when I retire) will be able to support me with rising costs. That is if I don't catch cancer or have some other malady. Then I am totally screwed and would be homeless until I die.
