I hope it had a cute snek

This is just an illustration and has nothing to do with the actual situation. Life vests are free in emergency. You’re making a fuss over nothing.

Yeah thats basically the answer summed up in a wikipedia article

Honestly this is just basic economics. If theres less supply but the demand stays the same the prices will continue rising until the demand matches the supply. If you for example say “I will have to buy gas to commute no matter what to make it to work” and many people use fuel like that it will shorten supply and make the prices go higher until people use up less fuel. Ofc I know oil is used for more than just fuel for cars to commute but this is just an illustration.

Thats also why subsidizing the prices directly is highly ineffective as it doesn’t actually mean there is more supply on the market and no incentive to save money. If people use a more limited supply of oil as if it was much as there is normally this will spike the prices again until supply and demand match again. Most likely direct subsidies go directly to the oil companies. And if many countries do this it turns into a bidding contest basically where every (except the oil companies that still supply) lose

I mean there a countries where a person can die by volition for example in switzerland, so if you have a disease and suffer a lot you can let yourself be euthanised. Things get messy because even the option can make it so people could gaslight each other into getting euthanized to get inheritance quicker and all sort of that nasty shit. And I guess animals can’t really spell out if they want to die or not.

When it comes to deciding for people who can’t decide for themselves, in germany you can allow somebody else before you fall in coma to decide about stuff for you regarding health so they can ask the doctors to turn the machine of keeping you alive.

I guess its also a strict taboo for doctors with the vow to protect lives. But there’s been a push for it in some parts of the world. There are also stings in history where people with mental illness were regarded as “not worthy of living” in nazi germany for example and basically killed. So thats one reason for example it also remains a taboo with many liberal countries rethinking on the (consentual) euthanasia for those suffering and having the legit wish to die.

In Germany where I’m from you’re legally allowed to be prescribed medication that ends your life but you have to administer it to yourself. There also the difference of passive and active euthanasia. Active is where doctors can administer it to you with consent. Passive is what I described for Germany. It should really be allowed more commonly in the world tho. The passive one sucks for people who are paralyzed and can’t administer it to themselves because anyone else that does it will only do so illegally

Here a map from 2022.

Except if they’re animals in the mass meat production business, then nobody cares

I’ve thought about how cool it would be if a project like this exited for a while. I will definitely have to try it out soon seeing this! To be able to mix and match not only from closet but in an app because going through clothing combinations and scurrying through drawers can be annoying.

I mean they’d be like what, 25 by now?

Politically the system of work in return for pay will have to change. Maybe a small amount of people may still work but most will probably get basic universal income. Thats the only politically feasible outcome

Yeah I’m concerned as well but I don’t think its actually a crime or really penalized.

Hey OP… Lets me just say it: You’re fantastic

OSS Document scan is what I mainly use

Yeah I was just on a german thread and people kept talking about this as if it was actually penalized. People really need to read more beyond the headline so thank you for putting this there

Go back to Hexbear or Lemmygrad

Then move to Burkina Faso.

It might be fine for the moment but if the relationship stays long term it will be hard when one partner starts to like age and degrade a lot quicker than the other. In the end one might be ill and on the way to death while the other one has quite a bit of time ahead of them. I think that can strain a relationship in the long run

Do you know how common it is in the US for people to just like… leave it? In germany theres the advantage that people have gotten accustomed to putting it back through the coin lock mechanism even if oftentimes the cart they use is now not locked. The problem is if strong factions arise where it will be hard for the rest of the public to sanction someone breaking rules. If it becomes more convenient to ignore then to enforce such a decentralized enforcement won’t be effective

Depends… If you come from a religious background and believe in an afterlife its mostly a sin to do suicide and can get you in trouble in the afterlife in most religions

They do seem to have options to mitigate these privacy concerns, I just checked. I personally have chosen to try to limit my usage of american services and even if they align with me this is also a reason I don’t use it. I’m european so Qwant is like building a new european search index. This was also pretty important since from a political perspective european tech sovereignity is important to me. If I was american myself I would’ve maybe kept using it tho.

Honestly I liked it when I used it. But for privacy (and since I prefer european based providers) I choose a free provider and went with Qwant in the end. I think you should go for it and try it. I don’t think they necessarily track their users, but I prefer not having my searches attached to an account. They do seem to have options to mitigate that. I personally have chosen to try to limit my usage of american services and even if they align with me this is also a reason I don’t use it. If I was american myself I would’ve maybe kept it
