I only cried thrice while playing through it some time ago 😎

Here you go

The government would be the accuser?? Just because a camera is used for evidence doesn’t make the camera THE accuser. Civilized nations have a way to fight the camera-issued fine, for example if the photo doesn’t show your face.

Forced arbitration and picking jurisdictions is illegal in the EU so that clause doesn’t apply to Austria. An Austrian would file in any Austrian court that has jurisdiction for contract/civil matter. Therefore, the section with King County includes:

For All Subscribers Outside the European Union and United Kingdom: […] You and Valve agree that all disputes and claims between you and Valve (including any dispute or claim that arose before the existence of this or any prior agreement) shall be commenced and maintained exclusively in any state or federal court located in King County, Washington, having subject matter jurisdiction.

Huh, that wasn’t there yesterday when this was posted, I’ve checked everything I have access to

Either way, it’s everywhere now

But that’s not a freckle??? That’s a mole

I don’t have anything productive to respond, althogh I do have a single, very important question:

HOW did you write this entire thing in the bus?! Using a laptop in a bus is (for me) just extremely uncomfortable but if you typed this entire thing on the phone your bus ride must have been 2 hours or so

It was sadly raised due to the high number of crashes

Your account name is me trying to spell Dijkstra

did… did you piss on the flag of France

The vast majority were tilted 45° but not all, so that’s not necessarily an indication of its inauthenticity. The misspelling is a dead giveaway though.

Example of non-tilted swastika on a flag (1942)

Oh I see, you’re with the capital-N Nazi furs, I should have expected as much from

If only there was a way to know what follows. Alas, I won’t give that hellhole of a site any traffic

Yes, and in that case there’s no problem with what type of food the owner provides, as long as it contains enough nutrients, right?

I’m fully aware that it is completely unreasonable for humans to provide the same food to a pet as it would eat in the wild. But since we are deciding what our pets should eat anyways, we can give them whatever food that provides enough nutrients. There is nothing immoral about taking away a pet’s choice - it never had one to begin with

Yeah, with the added factor of convenience this will probably change - but you could extend it to vegan food with supplements and the choices probably wouldn’t change significantly.

My thought was to provide a pet with the choice of:

• store brand food
• alive prey in a cage

to remove any aspect of (in)convenience. By that metric, I think nearly all carnivores would choose the prey. Except maybe if your pet happens to be a vulture.

But here they are, making a direct immoral action to force their chosen diet on another being who in all likelihood would NOT choose themselves.

This is the single worst argument you could make.

Every single pet owner does that. Would any animal - including farm animals - choose to eat what humans provide them? Surely [cheapest store brand] wouldn’t be popular if they had a choice.

That’s notfunny

That looks like a single-bed hospital room. Depending on the country, they are expensive in Europe too because insurance only covers the bare minimum. Here in Germany you’ll always be sharing the room with 2 - 8 other people, even if they have an infectious disease. You’ll only get a single-bed room by paying like 200€ per day, by being immunocompromised or by having a very infectious disease.

When you rely on someone outside to complete you, you end up being that person that’s drowning, and your struggle ends up taking your would-be rescuer down with you instead. Other people don’t deserve suffering to try to fix you.

But isn’t the most effective way to prevent others from being harmed due to your own issues to simply isolate yourself from people who would potentially care? You cannot harm anyone but yourself if there is no one to see you struggling and trying to help.

None of your friends could possibly be hurt if you had zero friends.

Gott segne dich? Nein…

You don’t necessarily need speech for consent since non-verbal/mute people exist.
