And how, precisely, am I supposed to tell random fucking jackoffs like in the story?
None of you fucks even know what a DNR is, means, what it looks like, and not a single one of you cunts could be expected to uphold it even if you were told.
You don’t get a special bracelet. This isn’t the ‘life alert’ infomercial. Tattoos mean absolutely nothing to medical professionals.
You literally have to have a DNR on file, active, in your county of residence, and they have to look it up. Which will not happen until you’re already admitted.
And if you get sent to a hospital in a different county? Because you’re visiting family or something? You’re fucked. You’re on a machine, keeping you alive. As long as your shitty relatives feel like it.
I have no desire to die incoherent in a hospital with no concept of what’s going on other than everything is uncomfortable. And with the united state’s version of healthcare, I will have to make sure I die somewhere else.
When I die, it isn’t fucking about you

Imagine, if you will, a world where things weren’t shitty for the sake of being shitty.
Where perhaps, good things could just be good.

I mean, yeah I am. I don’t trust a shop to do it

Ah yes, thousands and of other products built to be as or more disposable than the first element that blew.
Why do the boats keep coming, filled to the brim with garbage you never actually needed?

This must be on modern monstrosities, I’ve literally never encountered this.
The newest vehicle I’ve ever had was a 95, and I am entirely unimpressed with anything made before 93
- Comment on Hope I won't regret this: Does anyone here live in a van? 5 weeks ago:
Whelp, I’m in the US.
Have lived in a pickup (a little old 90’s toyota-great truck), a school bus, a stepvan, on the back of a bicycle, and now a school bus again.
There were a couple apartments and a few warehouses smattered between them.
I’d love to visit Australia someday, met some funny fuckers from there.
I do think the US lends itself pretty well to living in vehicles, as much as it is shunned. As long as you keep moving and present cleanly, nobody generally has a clue. But all our infrastructure is built for vehicles, and it’s just…super easy nowadays, honestly.
Like I have constant power and internet. Garbage and wastewater is as simple as stopping for fuel.
Amazon dropboxes for buying bullshit online.
Homeless? Fuck no. I built this into my home. The state just wants me to have an address so they can send the tax man and cops in the door. Fuck them

I bet you like nuclear.

Cool, when those heating elements are shipped over here via bunker fuel. I’ll bet a boatload of those coming over is more emissions than running a NG burner for a decade
- Comment on Element in water heater died; less than two months old. 5 weeks ago:
I’ll quit using gas the day shipping vessels go back to being fucking wind powered
- Comment on Element in water heater died; less than two months old. 5 weeks ago:
I think you completely misunderstood their response.
Swapping a heating element is easy.
Running some pipe is also easy.
Whether the OP has gas running to the house is a whole other question
- Comment on Why isnt there an aftermarket way to bulk up pinch welds jack points on cars 5 weeks ago:
Unibody cars, as in, the ones with the pinch welds under discussion, don’t have a frame
The sheet metal is the frame.
Which, in my opinion, is why nobody gives a shit-any car built like that was built to be disposable fucking garbage.

You may not be an old dude, but it sure seems like you already hit the wall.
Friend of mine’s father, who was seventy at the time, got hit on by an older lady at the grocery store.
Lamenting that he didn’t follow it up with her, “she was eighty, but a young eighty, if you know what I mean”
Wall? Gtfo, dumbass

Where’s your tattoo that says you’re an ignorant cunt?
EMTs and paramedics aren’t allowed to acknowledge DNR tattoos, you literally have to file paperwork in your fucking county to have a signed, notarized DNR mean anything.
And they’re still going to break every goddamn rib in your chest before they look up the paperwork
- Comment on Anon is a good samaritan 2 months ago:
An honest, actual recovery with CPR is less than half of that 3% ‘success’ rate that gets bandied about. A true, ‘this person actually healed up and had a life afterwards’ recovery is less than half a percent.
It’s freak accidents that happen to young people. Like 45 or younger.
Most people getting CPR are medically fragile already-hence the fucking heart stoppage-and foisting a chestful of broken ribs on top of whatever chronic ailments they already have does nothing but extend their suffering.

Fuck that guy
- Comment on Anon is a good samaritan 2 months ago:
Man, fuck all the heroes in this thread.
I’d 100% fuck with some neighbor asshole who resuscitated me into a life with a whole rack of broken ribs on top of all the other problems
