You don't fucking know that!

I don't know if for sure, but the facts strongly suggest so.

He had a terminal illness which is terminal.

He had a curable illness that became terminal as the result of him refusing treatment.

You don't know everything.

Sure, no one can, and it's possible that there is some information that's not public that completely transforms the situation. However, this was not the opinion of several of his closest confidants.

I too have a terminal illness

I'm sorry to hear that, you have my condolences.

Literally fuck you for denigrating sick people and terminal people for not doing what you want them to do with your ideas and shaming them. You are a fucking asshole

Steve Jobs effectively committed suicide by not seeking treatment that was well within his power, with the best information in the world. He had the opportunities most people diagnosed with similar diseases would probably have killed to have, and he threw them away. I don't think pointing this out is denigrating the terminally Ill in general or you personally.

you can't force me to die in a fucking hospital hooked to machines with incessant beeping and exploited nurses who need to to take a nap. I don't want them to drain everything so my wife gets nothing but an insurance pay out. I want to die at home with my wife and my cat and all my shit on my own fucking terms and fuck you if you say anything else.

I don't think that I've implied that I could or would want to.

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
