Never experienced that behavior. Do you want to post an example image here to check if it’s really stored that way or only displayed to you like this?

Why only US bees? Pretty racist, huh?

I do it a lot to find new interesting content and communities. I just block all communities that I don’t want to see in my feed. It’s not too much TBH. Maybe one new community per month or so.

There’s also !buyitforlife@slrpnk.net.

Every fourth Tesla fails the first EU-inspection. The average for all cars is 3%, so it’s exceptionally bad.

I also wouldn’t buy a car from that freak for various reasons but that high failure rate at the first inspection can be at least partly explained. Tesla - unlike most manufacturers - doesn’t do regular inspections on their own. Most cars are checked (and repaired!) by the dealership before they get officially checked. Therefore, the 25% aren’t completely comparable to the 3%.

I think i’ll just stop existing at some point. Maybe there’ll be some pseudo visual sensations (‘light’) as I die but other than that I don’t expect any kind of ‘after life’.

Half of the time I look forward to my death, it doesn’t scare me since I don’t see the real point of my life

I think we shouldn’t be scared of death but still try to enjoy our limited lifetime as much as we can. If you feel depressed continously, I can only advise you to seek help. Life shouldn’t be like that. If you have friends or family that you trust, tell them how you feel. In case you don’t, that’s okay. You may reach out to professional organisations or helplines instead. :)

Wealth is unfortunately not evenly distributed within society and there are plenty of different reasons for that. Maybe the step dad already had rich parents, maybe he was lucky to be at the right place at the right time, maybe he’s a better business man than you, maybe he just won the lottery. If you don’t know, you can’t tell her.

Make sure to let her know that having less money doesn’t make one less valuable as a human. That you hope, she’ll have enough wealth one day but in case she won’t that it’s not her fault. It’s not about being stupid or lazy. And that money isn’t everything that counts.

This. Being able to pee without necessarily setting down is great when you’re outside, or in a public toilet but I see absolutely no sense of doing that at home.

I guess this question has to be looked at from multiple dimensions.

From a purely economical and short-term perspective, maybe yes. Every human not contributing to society at an at least average level, is consuming ressources and driving up the costs. No matter if it’s due to illness, disability, depression, age, weakness, missing intelligence etc.

From a social perspective, such a program quickly can turn into a nightmare: First of all, everyone would be under pressure. If you’re not a constant top performer, you’d feel like a burden on society. And the bar to be a top performer would constantly rise as more and more people on the ‘lower end’ decide to end their lives.

Second, it’s impossible to quantify the value of a person holistically. People can provide no direct economic value and still be an important member of society. Like emotionally supporting others, being loved, providing jobs etc.

Furthermore - in a society where at some point the ‘weak’ are expected to ‘voluntarily’ end their lives, people would be constantly scared. No one would be willing to take any risks because getting injured, getting a depression etc. would be like an implicit death penalty. This would again lead to devastating effects on economy.

I personally think that everyone should be allowed to end their lives if they really deeply want it. But this should never be expected, actively promoted or pushed for. And I think it should involve at least a consultation with a medical professional to avoid hasty decisions due to a temporary crisis.

Like this?

Does not work with the cybertruck.

I learned that term on Lemmy and other social media platforms, never really questioned it.

I now quickly scrolled through that Wikipedia article and the most recent date reference given there is 1995 with the majority of events being in 196x or earlier. No recent event is linked there to the Zionist movement.

You’re right, but remember that gates are bidirectional. Maybe in the future there’ll be a point where his brother reconsiders his political views but if he’s only surrounded by similar-minded folks, it’s way harder to break out of that social circle.

The other 10 are just infants obviously.

Or save your money and get absolutely loaded on blackjack and hookers back home.

Not exactly what I’d call a healthy coping mechanism in face of emotional stress.

I agree. Don’t think about it like going to the wedding or not. Decide if you want to cut ties with your brother and possibly other parts of your family. Maybe also people that don’t share his political opinions but still side with him in terms of the wedding. Chances are high that not going will permanently damage your relationship to your brother and possibly other family members that side with him. If you value your ideals higher than your family, that’s perfectly okay. But from perspective you aren’t forced to do that.

I’m sure if he kept having it he’d grow to like it

The tofu or the farts?

Good point, if you’re 100% subjectively lucky, not only you would have that ‘live-forever DNA’ but also everyone else that you’d wish for, i.e. all your loved ones. And if you were looking for a new friend or partner, you’d always find a perfect match immediately.

I guess such an ability might have severe negative consequences for the part of the universe you dislike or don’t care about. But from a purely egocentric point of view, I can’t see any drawbacks at the moment.

If you don’t specify a currency or a grade of inflation, this might kill far more people than expected.

1 billion Iranian Rial for instance is just about 23752 USD.

How is that different from ‘being able to fly’ or ‘being able to turn invisible’? My understanding of OP’s twist is that you don’t have full control over your ability but that the skill is permanently active.
