    Ah, nothing like the experience of signing on to drive home that the government would genuinely prefer that you didn't exist.

        @techdisk "drive home the fact" is how I figured it out.

        @techdisk "signing on" == registering for jobseekers' allowance. The experience of having done so has reinforced that the government would prefer if I didn't exist.

            @techdisk This seems about right, yeah. The entire process seems to be engineered to make you feel awful for claiming a benefit that's there for the exact situation you're in.

          @bitshift I dunno, the way the current government is leaning they're probably eyeing you up as a cheap source of combustible fuel/harvestable organs.

            @ceruleanspark As a firm believer that I am nothing more than a sum of my component parts, they're welcome to them once I'm done with them.

            @ceruleanspark That and being taken apart once I die should remove any chance of being buried alive, so that's a plus.

              @bitshift That's literally why I am a registered donor. Ahead of "Because its the right thing to do" even.

                @ceruleanspark I think "because it's the right thing to do" just about wins out for me (if in any circumstance I can help someone else without harm to myself, I will - and once I'm dead nothing can harm me further). But I'd be lying if I said that protection from the worry of dying alone in a tiny box wasn't also a big consideration.
