Oh my, this is a great topic. Thanks for it, @Cynder. Surely to be the source of many awws and dawws in the future!
Meet Benji, a two-and-a-half years old male Puli (an original, ancient Hungarian breed) dog.
He's our second dog and there is quite a story behind him!
Mainly, he was not always a Puli. Or at least, we never thought he was one when we first got him. He was supposed to be a Bichon havanese, a smaller, usually indoors-kept breed of dog originating from Cuba. They come in a variety of colours and forms, including this. See the similarity? We had no doubts that our little Benji was also a Havanese.
Then time passed and he started to grow. And boy, did he not stop growing.
This picture was taken more than a year ago. By that time, he was already too large to be considered a Bichon havanese. His features did not quite fit the bill either. So we investigated and quickly found that Benji was something entirely different: a Hungarian Puli! Or a Pumi (similar, almost identical, but still different breed). He might even be both. We're still not sure!
All in all, Benji went from being a small, indoors 'toy dog' to a true outside hunter and shepherd dog, keeping our household free from everything from cats to birds and even moles. Back in the day, on the endless Hungarian plains, his kind helped the shepherds keep the sheeps and other livestock in check. Now, we are his 'herd' he protects almost zealously.
And we love him!

What you are saying is that someone needs to come up with a "Trump Simulator 2017"
Because that really would be pretty fucking boss. I'll play with cheat codes though so I can build the internment camps right at the beginning. Never did like the part where you have to build up small before you can afford the big stuff.
You never have to build up small. You start with a small loan of a million dollars!
We really need an advanced virtual reality simulation which is capable of simulating the real world to maximum accuracy, factoring in everything from the calculated to the random.
Because right now, people are satisfying their aforementioned morbid curiosities in the actual real world, potentially fucking shit up for their millions of less-curious fellows. It's happened once already, and there is still a way too great of a chance it will happen once again.
HURRY UP, SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING!

@POOHEAD189 got it spot on.
This election shifted from ‘may the best candidate win’ to ’oh God please don't let Trump win’ for many people. Hillary is riding the ‘not-Trump’ card as far as she can—possibly, and I dare to say it, hopefully all the way to the Presidency.

Only if eating it right away is also part of the equation.

Death.
The way I view it, you live life for two things: for yourself and your loved ones. Losing most of your mental and maybe even your physical abilities is pretty much a goodbye to all your dreams and ambitions and everything you wanted to accomplish. So the first one's already crossed out.
The other is a little more difficult. Maybe your family and even your SO would say that they loved you just as much before the accident. But that wouldn't be true. That ‘you’ they fell in love with one way or another is...well...dead. What they would remain with is but a husk. And I wouldn't want to taint their cherished memories of me by forcing them to live 20 years with this husk.
Philosophy or psychology?

I'm browsing RPG at the moment because I got frustrated with The Witcher 2. lol Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing game—I've already completed it once. But there's still the other path and of course, Dark difficulty. I want to max it out of course...I just need to pick enough motivation back up to continue!
