- Comment on Why is society at large okay with euthanasia for pets but not for humans? 2 weeks ago:
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

If its a well made or artistically nice game sure I would pay. It sure sucks for preservation tho. Although choosing GOG when possible is already pretty helpful I think for the right direction

Thank you for the writeup. Even if theres downvotes piling from people (I mean I guess they think you’re in favor of DRM when you’re mostly indifferent and see its use). Between the back and forth I learned quite a bit about Denuvo and how DRMs work. And while it doesn’t make me like DRM any more its interesting to see how and why things work the way they do. I don’t see a reason why games shouldn’t just patch out DRM after the launch window. I think if you want to avoid a simple copy paste way where friends just send each other a copy of the game there can be a lot more primitive options later on. And the pirate copy is mostly already out there later on

What the hell? Why are you suggesting I would let my child die if they needed medical treatment. You might have your own opinions about circumcision but lets keep discussion civil. I’m just saying that most circumcisions done right after birth aren’t done out of medical necessity and I would alter the body of my child because they wouldn’t be able to reverse it if they ever wanted to
- Comment on type shit 3 weeks ago:
But the point is you wouldn’t tattoo your child before he is of age and without consulting him. This practice is not necessary

But also there are so many people trying to become streamers. You don’t automatically have the right to make it just because you try streaming. Only a small hand of people provide entertainment for most. I get the struggle but maybe if you’re not successful or don’t make a living wage while attempting full-time you should just go back to a normal job. Just saying.

Why do you have to know for sure to counter your claim? I am not 100% certain but I think it is likely givern the circumstances for life and the vastness of our universe. But I don’t claim to know for sure. I don’t think just because we want to feel special does this have to mean we’re the only planet with life in the universe

- Comment on How do you feel about a 25 year old dating a 46 year old? 5 weeks ago:
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
- Comment on How would an anarchist society work? 5 weeks ago:
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

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 they’re 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.
- Comment on Is Kagi Worth It? 5 weeks ago:
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 call it “American Service-Members’ Protection Act” but thats definitely not what this is. What a disrespect of international law. The big powers have always taken out more right but still. I knew they didn’t accept the ICC but to have such a law passed is ridiculous
