nothing? awesome, I guess this software is safe to use. Let’s gooo

On the other hand, there is also people replying to those comments challenging the claim that Norway is in fact capitalist

The types of companies that are allowed to operate and the bounds in which they are allowed to operate absolutely define countries. Norway has a capitalist economy, which allows this kind of company to thrive.

They just pointed out that Norway is also capitalist, they didn’t say that the US isn’t. (You used the strawman here)

If a bit of walking cuts it for you, be happy. Some of us need to do actual cardio to keep the anxiety at bay

It’s about sending a message. Make the rich folks scared.

Killing oneself can be very hard, especially when you’re old as hell. Nobody is going to assist or even just allow you to kill yourself because if they did, they would be committing a crime. Sure if you have a cool grandchild they might get you a deadly dose of drugs. But that’s a huge risk you’re exposing your grandchild to if they get caught.

I see your point about the suffering being temporary, but the idea of being dead forever probably doesn’t really make the suffering any easier :P

I’m watching my gramps die right now. His life sucks. He hates it. Taking care of him is a burden.

If he wanted to die, who would I be to tell him no? It’s just torture at that point.

IMO, the logic behind euthanasia being wrong is the same as the logic behind thinking abortions are wrong.

It should not be taken lightly, but it sure as hell should be an option. If it’s not legal by the time I’m falling apart, I’m gonna find another way to off myself lol

Nicely done. Barely read the meme, missed the point, built a strawman, had an imaginary argument and called OP a liberal. 10/10 perfect form. Can I interest you in an account at lemmy.ml?

The thing with advertising is that the advertisers make more money in product sales from people who watched ads than they spend telling YT to push their ads. That’s just how the advertising business works.

In other words, either the viewers pay youtube not to show ads, or the viewers pay the advertisers to pay youtube (in a roundabout way).

So it’s just you paying in both cases, unless you use an adblocker :)

PSA: firefox + ublock origin blocks youtube ads even on mobile (on android at least)

It’s not like Jan 6 2021 was a successful coup either tho?
