My grandma always told me when she couldn’t go on her walks anymore she didn’t consider life worth living. When she got dementia she was placed in a closed hospice, to “protect her”. Now she only walks when I visit, and I only see a shell of the woman she was.

Anecdotal of course, but why do people think it’s an ethics question when society is individualistic as can be? There is no choice in being born, why don’t we get a choice in when we leave?

I live off-grid, power and water wise, and it really irked me that the monitoring coming with my inverter is only available online. Even when there is a network available the app will not work. I fixed this by getting a raspberry pi connected and reading it from there, but if I disconnect the inverter from the internet it will create a new network so now there is always an open network in the middle of nowhere with no option to disable it.

I'm thinking about screwing it open and desoldering the wifi module but honestly I'll replace it in the next couple of years so I'd rather not kill myself by making a mistake.

That’s 80% of the country you’re describing there. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t do a siesta in summer, and elderly people continue throughout the year

It’s even worse for me, already the first load is full of UI errors.

- The splash screen asking me to install as PWA or to go to the web app is not hiding the app. Overlapping the text and confusing me - The buttons for the days don’t work - The calendar selector is not working either

Interesting, I have issues with jaw clenching and a damaged TMJ. I seem to always notice the (incorrect) position of my jaw, and when this is in a worse position the clenching increases and with that my tinnitus.

I always assumed the softer bones around my ears get deformed because of this which in turn causes me to be affected by tinnitus.

Honestly the thing that helped best was meditation. I tried guards, even a specialized one to realign my jaw slowly, but I feel those are just symptom relievers.

I’m not arguing for their suggestion. But if their logic is that this happened because of PE and those PE owning also a big chunk of those public firms, doesn’t your argument proof they are devouring a large part of the economy?

This is a terrible argument, the human suffering caused by “the West” trying to play police of other countries is insane. Name one time the US has intervened (outside of WW2) that helped the local population without causing a way bigger problem
