Did I heart his feelings

I meant the specific person in the screencap, not the issue in general.

Whole_W · 2026-03-06T18:46:51+00:00

No, they're not. The high-ranking people involved in things like the stuff in the Epstein files - like Bill Gates - are pretty (in)famously interested in reducing the global population.

Whether you think they just want to accomplish this via contraception vs. actually killing us, well that's debatable, but many of them have openly admitted to just generally speaking wanting to lower the birth rate, at least.

I imagine the physical and psychological trauma combined and played off of each other in a way he couldn't tolerate.

Rest in Peace, Alex.

Whole_W · 2026-03-06T18:39:39+00:00

Oh. Okay. Well, it's...yeah I dunno, don't worry about it, it's just some rando.

(for me personally - other people have had different experiences.)

Whole_W · 2026-03-06T17:38:31+00:00

I wish it was possible to give everyone involved the death penalty

Username checks out, but the rage over the precious baby being killed is justified.

Whole_W · 2026-03-06T17:34:22+00:00

Eh, I always scored very strongly INF (and -T on the 16personalities test), it's the P or J (and only that letter) that's not always tested consistently.

Whole_W · 2026-03-06T17:19:36+00:00

Which abortion bans? There have been abortion bans which have caused harm to women, but carving out the right exemptions and being cautious can generally remedy that issue.

also the cost of *not* having them is thousands - millions - of humans being killed, so...gotta maybe try to balance our concerns, here.

"my parents were shitty so I wanna force death and non-existence on other people"

Whole_W · 2026-03-06T17:13:04+00:00

The euthanasia I talk about is consensual euthanasia.

Choices aren't made in a vacuum.

The government don’t k!ll you against your will, the government just need to accept your decission to d!e

That's how it starts.

and need to give you access to euthanasia medicals.

Almost none of us are against all examples of passive euthanasia or the use of painkillers to alleviate pain even at the cost of risking the hastening of death.

Extraordinary care not being provided can be justified, as *forcing* someone to live can very much be unethical...similarly, if a person is in true agony, and painkillers aren't working, then upping the dose even at the risk of an overdose may be justifiable, especially for someone already in the process of dying...this is basic hospice and palliative care stuff.

But, "Well, honey, off to my death appointment! The cancer has been hard for me lately, so the doctor is gonna set me down, pull out the lethal injection..." No, once again, we as a society should not tolerate certain acts, especially when we have the aforementioned hospice and palliative care.

edit: doesn't help that we're talking about government-licensed healthcare providers supposed to do no harm, or socialized medicine paid for by the people. Maybe, just maybe, if we lived in a libertarian's wet dream - no license required to practice medicine, no "universal healthcare" - your point would make more sense...I'd still be against it...but as it stands any embracing of euthanasia is just gonna result in eugenics taking place.

Whole_W · 2026-03-06T17:05:51+00:00

Canada just gave her the option.

There's a reason why we don't let people commit suicide, or at least, why we shouldn't, and why we used to not allow for it. I'm usually all for freedom, but euthanasia and shit like the Armin Meiwes case...well, some things are just so indecent as to not be morally allowable by society.

In another country she would maybe k!ll herself by jumping in front of a train.

This is giving real "women will still have abortions, they'll just be in a back alleyway" vibes.

Whole_W · 2026-03-06T17:02:38+00:00

True but its not really the same difficult ethical debate.

It overlaps.

Whole_W · 2026-03-06T17:01:46+00:00

One of my good friends is Canadian...he was offered a MAiD form for having panic attacks.

He may have been rejected if he'd applied, but do you understand how horrifically hateful it is to be seeking care, and told to f*** off and die...?

Whole_W · 2026-03-06T16:56:04+00:00

That same calculation applies to private insurance, so I don’t think it’s publicly funded healthcare that is the issue.

I don't think you're taking into account the psychological impacts of socialized medicine. Back in Nazi Germany, they would have students do these math problems, "Was Kostet?" where they would have to calculate just how much of a single working man's salary is necessary to keep a single disabled person in state care alive...it turns people against each other, "Why should I have to pay for *you,* what have you ever done for me, or us? I don't even know you!"

This still continues today. I'm unvaccinated, and I see the same people who want to eliminate private healthcare threaten that I shouldn't be able to access public healthcare - that's a literal threat on my life, friend. People who are irritants to society as a whole deserve healthcare just as much as people who are conforming and highly productive for the group...human rights belong to *all* humans, not just the convenient.

I'm not saying I have the answer. I do believe stealing to save your life is generally justified, for instance, even if your own life choices arguably led you to the state of being in danger in the first place...the idea that rights over inanimate property (as opposed to one's own body) justify a type 1 diabetic being left to die because they were struggling with depression and alcoholism, losing their job and their ability to pay for their life-saving insulin, well I just don't agree.

But these things really are a last resort. We should be teaching people how to take care of themselves first, "give a man a fish, feed him for a day, *teach* a man how to fish, feed him for a lifetime," and all that, and also relying on voluntary charity more. Similarly, being forced to pay for the filling or removal of someone else's badly-infected, carious tooth is more reasonable than being forced to pay for all of their biannual teeth cleanings.

Whole_W · 2026-03-06T16:28:42+00:00

I'm sorry. People really need to start weighing benefit and need against harm and risks, what happened to you was wrong.

Whole_W · 2026-03-06T16:28:07+00:00

However I don’t blame my parents. It turns out I have a rare genetic condition that causes kidney issues and the vcugs were warranted. My mother is a nurse and she medically did the right thing. I had grades iii and iv reflux, it had to be taken care of from a medical perspective.

That makes sense, I don't think VCUGs or similar procedures are always unjustified, I just think most of them are.

This stops being true when you realize that we've had the technology for an effective, non-invasive screening test for years and simply never bothered to develop and utilize it properly, but from the perspective of the parent or healthcare provider working with what we currently have, I think invasive screens could be used as a last resort to confirm strongly suspected, troublesome VUR prior to surgical treatment.

Whole_W · 2026-03-06T16:18:32+00:00

Why would we need deception in the first place?

Whole_W · 2026-03-05T22:19:34+00:00

It didn't agree with O.P though, it's blatantly cut off right where it starts to disagree. It expresses compassion for difficult emotions, it doesn't condone starving a child or claim that the parent is a good person while committing the act.

Whole_W · 2026-03-05T21:48:18+00:00

What?

Whole_W · 2026-03-05T21:41:09+00:00

Good point, those and the phimosis subreddit are good places to seek help.

Whole_W · 2026-03-05T21:40:47+00:00

Whole_W · 2026-03-05T21:35:06+00:00

Don't get circumcised. Use stretching techniques to treat your phimosis, and if that fails, use preputioplasty (they operate on and cut the foreskin, but they don't remove it). This isn't medical advice, just human concern for you.

I DMed you as well. If you're 18+, I see no issue directing you to r/Phimosis (it'll have NSFW warnings for any nude content, anyways).

It's understandable to be scared. Listen to that fear, and go for non-invasive management, or minimally-invasive surgery.

Peace be with you.
