Yep, that’s true. People who kill themselves in public places can traumatise bystanders. Train operators who hit suicide victims don’t get away without a mental scar.
Billionaires count as individuals and benefits to them don’t necessary benefit the society.
Voluntary euthanasia would benefit the person. People shouldn’t be forced to live just because society says so and people have been indoctrinated to believe that they should have a say in somebody else’s life.
People commit suicide in the most horrific ways and euthanasia can be a beautiful way to leave the flesh cage of pain. Imagine instead of jumping off a building, you get to sit and watch a sunset over a beautiful landscape. Imagine instead of suffering through cancer or some incurable disease until you get to “palliative care”, you can leave this earthly plane on your own time, without pain and with your loves ones around you.
Of course a rigorous but quick procedure should exist to ensure that the decision is your own without outside pressures. It should be relatively quick so that in cases where your mental capacities start deteriorating, that you aren’t reject because they took too long to make a decision and you are now mentally incapable of answering questions.
Benefit to society? Fuck that. Your body, your choice.
The fediverse needs a non-political, non-US instance that blocks political communities from other servers. Otherwise people who don’t want politics have to spend time curating their experience and can never actually escape it, because some douche will start spouting “OMG LOOK AT THIS POLITICIAN!” in communities about superb owls or something.
The biggest kickstarter goal I know of was the Ubuntu Edge (a linux smartphone) was 30 million and they got 12 million.
Look at the list of most successful kickstarters. There are projects with goals of 1M (books), 100k(table top game), 950k (video game console), and many more. 100k isn’t the world when talking about software like this.
That’s good news. I imagine it will diminish quickly unless the story about TikTok is kept alive. The news cycle is mostly 1-2 weeks. Hopefully it’ll have reached 100k by then.
That’s not huge. One year of employment is nothing for such a product.
Should’ve set the goal at 100k for fulltime employment. These kinds of projects need that kind of dedication
Maybe in the coming 4 years people will finally understand why handing over everything to corps isn’t great. Whether they’ll do anything with that understanding is questionable though. The amount of “but it’s so easy” and “I’m just one person” doomerism is fantastic.
Bro, I have ban this community. It’s going to get spammed by goddamn Musk, Trump and other US news.
Yeah, we need a new war. This time against the rich.
Arresting somebody for making a threat would be impeding their free speech, would it not?
We won’t stop polluting until the world is unlivable. Gotta love humanity.
