Thanks for digging that one up. That's a pretty insane map to look at honestly. Just about everyone in BC either lives on, or near, a fault line. That really helps put the level of geological activity in the province in perspective.

The rest of the world agrees. Funny how even the broken clock that is the current Republican party is right every now and then.

Same, but in summer. The 24/7 nearly equal intensity daylight does a number on your internal clock and experience of time. 10/10 for wildlife though. Puffins everywhere. Plus whales, seals, walruses, and polar bears in the wild are such an impressive thing to see.

You're looking for a reason but refuse to accept one when provided. The reason assistance in dying is not suicide is blatantly obvious; the definition of suicide is an act in which one person takes their own life. End of sentence. Adding another person makes it a different act, and whether you like it or not, at least the legal system agrees on this.

I'm done debating this. Have a good day.

The one major advantage that Reddit alternatives on the Fediverse have over Reddit still is that nobody owns the platform wholesale. So while that doesn't solve the content issues you're rightfully bringing up, at least we've learned from Reddit's faults by removing the option of unilaterally making platform-level decisions that are undesirable for the end user.

I really, really, appreciate seeing someone not dig their heels in at the sight of downvotes and actually continuing the conversation to learn about the other perspective.

Kudos to you, and thank you for reminding me why I hate Reddit and other social media where opinions are unchangeable and there is no grey between black and white.

Yeah, totally unrelated. Just like the large amount of people falling out of windows in Russia. And all the people that got poisoned or got to drink Polonium tea. All completely unrelated accidents.

We don't know for sure, but that's what this meme is playing on.

It's a older meme, but man does it hold up to reality. Cats really do seem to come in two flavours: Aloof and house clown.

I actually ran this setup for a pretty long while without major issues. YMMV but OneDrive is not a terrible way to store a single user database backend if you don't have a lot of sequential writes going into it in a short timespan.

Which is probably the most ridiculous thing ever. Bankruptcy should treat all debtors equally, and we should treat personal bankruptcy similar to corporate bankruptcy. Instead of creating classes of debt that survive a bankruptcy by default, how about we just include them all into the debt restructuring process? Figure out what the person can and can't pay and make a plan based on that? It just feels exploitative to make some debts exempt from having to do that.

I know, this was inresponse to the other post about which parts of the GDPR to implement. If I had to pick any one feature to carry over from the GDPR into whatever legislation we get on this side of the ocean, I'd pick the right to deletion.
