Getting old fucking sucks. Love Bruce and at least he will be fucking remembered for some entertaining movies. Die Hard and Pulp Fiction are obvious ones but man did I love The Last Boyscout and I even enjoyed Hudson Hawk although that one was pretty far out there.

Probably easier to bang the pool boy if your alzheimers ridden husband isn't bumbling around.

I'm with you on that one, and the wife knows it. No way I'm putting myself, or anyone else, through that shit.
R.I.P. Bruce, basically. I loved Hudson Hawk, and Unbreakable is still my favorite Hero Origin story.

Eh, not really -- the more diagnoses you have the more use your body / brain will be to medical science. I'm sure this forum's members will have no problem ending up on a surgical table, including yours truly.

Though it just occurred to me, could you request a video of the munitions if they do in fact use your body for target practice?

While yeah, there are body part brokers that sell to some places you might find distasteful, you can donate your corpse to specific schools (or research programs, if they will take you) if you don't want to be sold to the military or chopped up and made into "art."

I'm sure, if a person is interested in doing it, you can spend some time searching teh internts to figure out how to directly donate to your local medical school, to help train the next generation of doctors (even if AI takes over 90% of the work, some people will still need to go to med school). The limited amount I've read on it recently said that you need to have it all set up before death and the med schools have fairly short windows for how old (since time of death) they will take a corpse for study.

My father was diagnosed with the exact same condition Bruce has, non-fluent primary progressive aphasia. We started noticing real signs 3 years ago and now he can no longer carry on a conversation. His vocabulary has regressed to that of a 2nd grader and I don't know if he'll be able to communicate at all by this time next year. It is a truly insane condition.

I was raised by my grandparents. And my grandfather passed when I was 27 after around 4 years of dementia decline. By the end he wasn't even talking and I'd just rely on when I saw his eyes seems to be more cognizant of what was going on around him. That shit did damage to me I still deal with to this day. I can't even fathom being a 13 or under kid and going through it.

I lost my grandmother to breast cancer that metastasised to her brain when I was 12, she was essentially my only mother figure. She had severe dementia symptoms at the end which is how we found out she had cancer at all.

It was not an easy thing to go through, I still remember her being so afraid all the time because she couldn't remember my grandfather and didn't know why he was in her house. She struggled to drive and ended up crying and demanding I take her to the store because we were home alone together (before anyone knew what was wrong) so I got a crash course in driving that thankfully didnt end in a crash. She remembered my sister and me until the end but struggled with almost everything else. I still struggle with guilt and shame of being so helpless and powerless to do anything to help her.

Idk man you drove her to the grocery store at 12 years old. Thats pretty powerful shit at that age. Be proud of helping instead of guilty about something you had zero control over.
