    As a counterargument I’d like to point out that when there’s enough pain present you might just want to tap out.

    Especially now since one of the lovely American corporations decided to fuck up pain medication for those that truly needs it for decades at the minimum, because they just had to get that fucking profit.

    I’m not even American and I’m on about a third of what I theoretically should be. My doctors admit this, but anything more and there’s a risk of malpractice bullshit.

    Hence, pain. Fuck that. I’ll tap out when enough is enough.

      The major flaw in your reasoning is that you’re assuming that there’s less pain on the other side. It could be better, but it could be much much worse, especially if you’re carrying the regret of unfinished business left behind.

        You might believe there’s another side but that’s not important to this situation. You’re projecting your personal beliefs on others.

          Literally the entire point of my comment is “we don’t know”. Don’t put words in other people’s mouths, and understand that it’s bad form to attempt to make straw man arguments when you have nothing to contribute to the conversation.
