It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I guess my subjective perspective is at play here. Neither of my grandparents had good quality of life much after 75, so I guess for me I always viewed anything after 80 as a total loss but then again my great grandpa lived pretty decently till he was 90 so I guess everyone is different shrug-outta-hecks

For sure, and that's a calculation you can make with your doctor if you're in that situation. I'm in favor of allowing humane assisted suicide if qol is gonna be shit due to pain, dementia, or whatever else. But every cancer is different with different treatment side effects, etc.
