identity crisis, someone tell me what personality i should have now

[susansontag]

the definition of what is life-saving healthcare is the same across the board for absolutely everyone and what it means is a surgery that directly saves your life. it has never been defined as any and every kind of medical intervention that could potentially stop someone from harming themselves and it’s really not difficult to understand why this should be the case

A letter published in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) clarifies that people who die by euthanasia will often refuse to participate in organ donation because they prefer to die at home. In his letter, Dr Johan Sonneveld explains that a procedure permits euthanasia at home followed by organ donation.

To be clear, Sonneveld explains that the person is sedated at home and then transported to the hospital to have the organs removed. The letter states:

The patient is only sedated at home, which marks the start of euthanasia in legal terms but is medically only intended to remove consciousness while vital functions are maintained and secured. Coma induction and the start of the agonal phase subsequently take place in the intensive care unit after farewells at home and transportation. With the 5 minutes “no touch,” the total warm ischemia time until death decided was less than 7 minutes in this procedure.

By linking organ donation to euthanasia, then euthanasia becomes a “societal good.” The advantage to linking euthanasia to organ donation is that the organs are vital, being removed from a person who has not died, and in many cases, is not near to dying a natural death.

Listen I know putting up Chelsie and/or T’kor is probably better for the endgame for everyone but Kimo still ain’t giving anything in this game anymore and I’d rather see another man go again

it's like. louis attempted to tell this story to daniel the first time, broke down, and attacked him before he could finish it.

and then decades later he's convinced himself that it was leaving the story unresolved that's holding him back from living his life fully now. so he invites daniel back again. and louis is sitting poised and put together, confident in his ability to recite his history in a pretty, poignant, neat little narrative that will resolve all the guilt and yearning and emptiness inside of him. that if he can just tell a compelling, satisfying story, maybe it will actually be that, and not the life he lived through, with all the pitfalls of his own failures lurking inside.

and then season 1 ends with him once again being forced to confront that the story he wants to imagine and the life he actually lived aren't the same thing. the boundaries around his narrative are shredded and he's left exposed, and subsequently able to face his past for the first time since that original interview. and you think, you think, "well this is it. they've crossed the event horizon. there's no use hiding the truth anymore, not after it's come flooding out into the open like this"

and then season 2 opens. not only is it back to the original, practiced distance, we now have armand literally enforcing that distance. a man sitting at the table who's interjections must be disregarded, an intentional interruption to the flow of the story. he doesn't exist to aid or add detail, he exists to distract louis when he gets too deep in the story. the only time we do get louis allowing any deep truth to come out is when armand leaves the room.

it's like. louis wants a story that's true, and the truth is what he's convinced will leave him satisfied. armand wants a story that will satisfy louis, to the extent louis will accept it's true.

Once you concede the idea Dean'd rather rape Sam than have him groomed by someone else and he'd rather kill Sam than have him taken by someone else his actions start making sense to you

And I especially like how Joshua spent decades going down a slow insidious radicalization pipeline wherein cruelties that arose from the dysfunction of the post-war wasteland attached themselves to principals that were established centuries before both the end of the world and his own birth and Edward was showing up for picture day in kindergarten with a gnarly thousand yard stare

that line with loghain in the camp when i was playing my female tabris was like actually horrifying for me because it was my second time playing and i knew what he did in unrest in the alienage so it felt like such an empty statement from him. like he claims to believe that elves and women are equal but i knew that later he is willing to throw them to slavery for the "good of fereldan". utterly haunting line

that's the thing, right - you know that when you play, but your pc doesn't. and, neither does loghain - the stuff with the alienage happens... potentially months later. in that second, he is genuine. he's many things, but he's not a liar, and he's not a man of airs or natural charm.

kal has to square with the fact that the man extended that kindness to her, that noticed her struggling in a crowd of faces, who could have ignored her and didn't -- that man, is the same man that sells the alienage elves into slavery. the duality of it is almost unbearable.

and at the same time... doesn't she understand it, too?

didn't she side with bhelen, to help the dust town dwarves, because she feels their struggle as keenly as her own? didn't she genuinely believe that? but then... when it came down to it... didn't she agree to keep the anvil? knowing where the cost for the golems would come from? knowing bhelen would take advantage of their desperate poverty?

doesn't she know exactly what she signed them up for - when she, herself, almost swayed at the amount of gold vaughn offered? that she didn't take the offer, only by chance? that she could have been swayed?

Learning more about your mental illnesses is just like oh, so that wasn't just a random quirk, huh.
