@WearsHats in the end I believe it comes down to who is making the decision and why.

@WearsHats from what I saw, they did it well. It wasn't happy ever after. He went ahead with his plans, but it wasn't entirely a sad ending either. It just recognised that sometimes there isn't a way out.
It was a story needing to be told. Though I didn't see even most of the film.

@thomholwerda technically.....very technically.......I could get new glasses every 2 years on my national health or by adding very, very little money. I'm not sure of the exact details as I always have added costs. But they would be the cheapest frame with no added cost lenses.
I need the ultra thinning at least, not to end up with headaches from the weight - if nothing else.

@WearsHats they made a movie about a guy in a chair who makes that decision. I caught it by accident, more than half over. I was surprised that the ending didn't shy away. It's about his family looking for a way to give him reasons not to. And he does fall in love. But it doesn't change his reality.

@faduda @gutenberg_org ah!! I was puzzled by it as words in English not a name....

@gutenberg_org what does "with which is incorporated Household Words" mean???

@WearsHats damn. That sucks. I strongly believe being able to talk about it with someone not emotionally involved is helpful, but not if they are not good enough at listening.
I remember how comforting it was to know that there could be a world where it all just ended. To know that it was always an option- out there. That this didn't have to go on. Even though I never really wanted to take it. Countries like Switzerland must have people...

@lilithsaintcrow In what universe have writers ever been apolitical??

@WearsHats
can you talk to a therapist/counsellor about it without them trying to treat it as some kind of danger sign?
I mean, I hate that you feel that way, not because you shouldn't, but because I hate that your experience has been such that it's a reasonable response...
I think being able to talk about it with someone might be a relief.

@colm_ryan I mean, I'd have thought that would have come when he lost the last court case, but no, he still goes on. At least it gave me a chance to explain why his "stance" is nonsense to people living near me. They thought, while he was daft, that he was standing for a principle...That the school had let him go over his principles...

I missed that Nell died. I am sorry to see her go, glad I got to meet her. As they said, we won't see her like again.

@IanMoore3000 We have predicted 18 on Sunday....

@qhstone @simon3270 @bellinghman I think it is the sanity brought by middle age....

@dryak Can you come set up my pi for that??

THE PREDICTED TEMPERATURE FOR TOMORROW IS 9 DEGREES

You will find me huddled miserably in my bed.

@IanMoore3000 I stopped watching after 3 because I hated it.

@bellinghman for a second I thought that was addressed to me and I thought "No, the only one I have is in MY mother's house"

@simon3270 @bellinghman I keep swearing I'm going to label the plugs and cables but I haven't actually DONE it yet... So many steps between here and there!

@colm_ryan But for whom, him or the judge?

@colm_ryan He is determined to spend all school years in jail released only for the holidays at this rate...
