This is the darkest thing I've read in a very long time. I wish there was some way to help you. Good luck.

Be the one starting the cult, not the one joining the cult.

Isn't buying a quest giving money to Zuckerberg directly? I don't think I could sleep at night

You didn't miss anything significant in since like Halo Reach.

It's almost like money and power are terrible corrupting influences that also attract the worst humans. Weird

Lol. LMFAO even.

 

So my boomer mom, who has a very limited concept of technology, tells me she has a friend in a rehab clinic where she is in bed 24 hours a day, basically in a closet. She can't really move her hands and she's been intubated most of the time so she can't reliably talk. So she's just laying there doing absolutely nothing for the entire day like Johnny Get your Gun but with eyes and ears which probably makes it worse.

So my mom's friend has the intubation tube removed and my mother visits and my mom is fucking horrified by this situation. She asks if her friend would like some music or something, anything, and of course she would,, but because she can't use her hand or reliably speak the most obvious options won't work, to say nothing of the fact that I have no idea how to even set that kinda thing up on a device (I use my windows PC for everything, I don't use any streaming services or download audiobooks or whatever and I hate Alexa).

So the question is what is a system that barely responsive person can use to interface with music or audiobooks? Something simple enough that they can direct a nurse or something to push a button every couple hours. A standalone MP3 player with a screen? A tablet loaded with files? I just don't know.

I'm certain my mother is imagining herself in a similar situation someday, and it's freaking her out, and honestly it sounds pretty miserable to me also
