Ha! You beat me. I just posted similar as post #20 on the similar thread here https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4266890/posts.
Great minds...
Or are they?
Nah, they are.

Matt Groening had some poignant themes in Futurama. The suicide booth episode had multiple levels - Fry, being from the past, thought it was a phone booth. He didn't have any money but Bender (the robot who wanted to die) sprung for the two of them but ended up saving both their lives.
If I recall, it was a later episode but a flashback to when Fry first woke up in the future, showing a potential horrific "came through all that only to accidentally take his own life".

It was a great series. The characters of which were allowed to come to the conclusion of their logical (albeit sappy) arc.
Billy West. Genius.

Personally, I’ll ask for a ketamine dose and see if I still want to die when my Brain has been set free for 1/2 an hour. My reference is I got it once for a colonscopy.

The guy came of age in some left wing opinion rag. Gotta be impressed at how far he’s come, between Futurama and the Simpsons. He’s still a radical leftist.

That’s how they kill hogs at slaughtering. The hogs go unconscious on a conveyor, where they are then hoisted up with a chain around the back legs, then the throat is cut so they bleed out. But Hampshire breed hogs seem to have a resistance to the gas and wildly protest and vocalize. How do they deal with those?

Heck, I dunno? They go unconscious and then bleed out.
Once in a while some would get loose going into the conveyor chute by standing on another hog and jumping, but I never looked at breeds. The lots going thru went by weight mostly. Those big monster 800 pound hogs for fat, or down to the lean 250 pound one year Olds.
