    Doctors failed to communicate the situation in a way he would grasp that his choices were death or chemo. Maybe a, "that’s your choice? OK, before you go, how world you like us to handle your corpse? So you want a full autopsy to confirm the cancer diagnosis, or would you prefer we didn’t? Is there a particular burial home you have plans with? "

    But in all likelihood there’s nothing anyone could have said to him to make him see reason.

        Also everyone will stop using iPods because they realized the truth that was always there which is that having a separate device for listening to music, when you already have a portable computer in your pocket is stupid.

          I’m legitimately wondering if you’re young enough to not know that the iPod came WAY before the first iPhone, which was the first widely adopted smart phone.

            You could play your music from your phone quite a good bit before the first iPhone. But even then, IIRC the iPod came before that was common.
            Never understood what it did different to a regular mp3 player though.

              Yeah, that is true, but it’s also true like the other guy said, it was absolutely not worth it and sounded terrible.
