A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

We are obsessed with quantity, but I never hear a good review beyond 50 irl, just a list of pain.
I've seen some cool shit and tolerated more than my share of strife. First chronic health problem, I'm out. I'd rather choose when then have it chosen for me.
It's selfish of the people in your life to expect you to suffer for them until that suffering finally consumes you whole.
Considering my retirement is essentially whenever I decide to buy a gun I agree with this.
I've been forced to be alive this whole time for my family, but once I hit a medical "wall" I'm out and I just hope whoever is left can understand I can only suffer for so many decades lol
I feel more or less the same, and agree that we should respect people's end-of-life wishes.
But FWIW pain management has come a long way. When your doctor first brings you bad news, don't make assumptions, ask lots of questions and get the details.
i mean, i hear you on choosing your end, but i have known some folks who enjoyed later life. my mom died suddenly a couple years ago, and she confessed to me over the last couple years that she was ready to go when her time came. that said, i think she was happier in her early 70's than i had ever known her to be otherwise. and my family certainly doesn't have money to smooth the way.
i think she just decided to make the most of it, made an effort to enjoy her community and stayed super active. i'm hoping i will handle aging as well as she did.
