Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
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.
