CN Suizid wegen Krankheit

Mein Vater hat sich umgebracht, als er wegen der Augen nicht mehr richtig lesen konnte

2 Jahre später gab es E-Reader mit zentimetergroßen Buchstaben und 5 Jahre später gab es ein heilendes Medikament

Auch wenn es sehr bitter ist: nicht aufgeben! Man weiß nicht was kommt
"Wir wissen nicht, ob in den nächsten Jahren nicht doch ein gutes Medikament für ME/CFS kommt und dann wäre es schade, wenn wir nicht zusammen gewartet hätten"

Das ist so ziemlich das einzige, was mir Halt gibt

Das, was noch kommen könnte

OTD in 1999, Farid Guendoul, who had fled Algeria, was hunted to death by 11 men in East Germany. He had hurled himself through the glass door of a block of flats to escape them and severed an artery. He bled to death in 15mins and no one responded to his screams. www.theguardian.com/world/2000/n...

When "we cannot have serious conversations about AI" is just a shorthand for "I want critics to overlook that none of the criticism has been answered and I need them to accept that AI is without alternative and forever" the problem lies not with the critics.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
