The night we found out that the best case scenario with my mom’s cancer was 1 year and that she had to have a scary procedure to find out how to treat it to give her that year, she knocked off her breathing mask during a shift change. The alarm for the breathing mask went off frequently because it never fit right due to her feeding tube, so the nurses didn’t check on it right away. She had a DNR and by the time the nurses went in to adjust the mask, it was too late.

I miss her, but I’m glad she didn’t suffer more than she did and I’m so glad that my last memories of her are her joking around with my dad.

Right to Die absolutely needs to be a thing in this country.

If you’re interested, hormonal birth control should help significantly with endometriosis. Talk to your gynecologist about it.

He kept posting dick pics, but they kept getting ridiculously larger in subsequent pictures and looked nothing like the original pictures from the AMA or even other pictures he posted.

Basically, his original pics were somewhat believable, but then the dicks in other picks he was sending looked badly photoshopped and nothing like the originals.

Yeah, she went on her own terms and we could all tell she was just done with everything by that point. It took a long time to diagnose the cancer, so she was pretty sick for a while before they figured out what was wrong. My dad had wanted more time to spend with her, but this is what my mom wanted and I know it was better for her and for all of us.

No one should have to suffer needlessly. To me, that is one of the cruelest things we can do — to put someone, and their family, through unbelievable suffering knowing at the end that all that pain is going to end in death. It’s almost like torturing someone to death. I’m sorry to everyone who’s had to go through that or who’s had to watch a loved one go through that.

It’s different for “white” people though. Most white people in the US are not from families that recently immigrated. They’re from families that have lived here for generations and have intermarried with other ethnicities that there really isn’t a correct answer for a lot of them.

It’s not that they’re oblivious, it’s that it doesn’t matter to them or their family history because it ceased being something to keep track of generations ago.

Asian Americans are usually recent immigrants who still have distinct cultures as Americans and that could still be important information for the census to gather. Pacific Islanders, as well, have only been Americans since basically WWII, or the Spanish American War at the earliest, so they still have distinct cultures that could be worth capturing in the Census.

A white American whose ancestry is German, French, English, Greek, and Italian and lives on the West Coast is going to have more in common culturally with his white neighbor of Russian, English, Polish, and French ancestry than he is of another white American sharing his same Ancestry that lives in the MidWest.

Tl;Dr: For Americans whose families have been here for generations, where they grew up in the country tends to matter more for their cultural experience than where their ancestors are from.
