It seems like no matter which way this election goes, it’s going to be an absolute shit show. (which is no excuse to not vote, just so we’re clear)

I do worry about that.

It theoretically shouldn’t be a problem here. We’re listed as each others primary emergency contacts, and we’ve been together longer than 2 years, which over here grants you most of the same privileges as marriage anyway. So it hopefully won’t be an issue. I just hope we never have to test that.

Actually, where I know it will matter is if one of us had to die unexpectedly, but that can be negated by just having a proper will drawn up… which, come to think of it, we should really do…

My partner is not a girl, she’s a woman, and she more than a friend to me. She is my partner in life. So yes, it is more formal than “girlfriend.” That’s the point.

And no, I won’t marry her. We’re not religious, and we don’t believe the government should have any input in our relationship. We’ll happily have a ceremony, but she will still be my partner at the end of it.

The mindset of the whole Israeli government is pretty astounding. It’s like they feel entitled to do what they’re doing, and anyone who vaguely hints at “maybe genocide isn’t your strongest play?” is vilified. Israel is always the victim, no matter who or what is being done. It has strong “the left stole the election” vibes

If they are capable of giving consent, they are capable of activating the system themselves.

You’re thinking of a big red push button, but a button can be a pad that you bite down on, or a eye twitch activated electrode, or any number of things.

The important thing is they initiate the process themselves, so that they have the option to withdraw consent as easily as they gave it.

True consent is not immutable.

It’s assisted in the sense that a doctor can help them insert an IV, load up the correct drugs, make sure they understand the procedure, and monitor to ensure it goes smoothly, but the patient themselves need to press the button that releases the drugs (or nitrogen in the sarco pods case)

Thanks for the reminder!

Yes, because it’s so difficult to get a gun in America any other way /s

Developer bailed on it, and it got dumped on someone without the resources to carry on with it, so they’ve put it into maintenance mode until February next year IIRC? Then it will be gone.

Honestly I’m just glad they’re actually doing the maintenance thing instead of just vanishing overnight, or just leaving everything in limbo, which seems to be a problem in this space.

None of that is correct. I was thinking of Firefish

I had to read it a few times. It’s confusing

This effect is to get [Ross] to stop downloading and disclosing stolen criminal records to protect public safety.

Why him specifically? That’s a lot of effort to stop one guy doing what literally anybody with some time and willpower could do? Surely they have bigger problems right now? Fucking pathetic.
