Don't kill me, Canada

According to the government's recent report, 31,666 people have been put to death since legalized physician-assisted suicide was passed. It now makes up 3.3% of all the deaths in the country. Of note in the report is that physician-assisted deaths in 2021 represented a "growth rate of 32.4% over 2020."

Hitler would be proud.

🇩🇪 Der angebliche Täter ist tot, wie praktisch, dann gibt es auch keinen Gerichts-Prozess,

Ich schließe hiermit schonmal eine Wette ab, dass der vermeintliche Täter nicht auf Schmauchspuren untersucht wird. Damit kann man feststellen, ob er mit einer Handfeuerwaffe geschossen hat.

Das hatte man damals bei Tim Kretschmer dem angeblichen Winnenden-Attentäter auch nicht gemacht. Sein Leichnam wurde schnellstmöglich eingeäschert.

Man behauptet einfach "X" sei der Täter, dann braucht es auch keinen Prozess und die Sache ist für die erledigt.

🇺🇸 The alleged perpetrator is dead, how convenient, then there is no court case,

I'm willing to bet that the alleged perpetrator will not be examined for gunshot residue. This will help to determine whether he shot with a handgun.

This was not done with Tim Kretschmer, the alleged Winnenden assassin. His body was cremated as quickly as possible.

One simply claims that "X" was the perpetrator, then there would be no need for a trial and the matter would be settled for them.

The return of z-library in full Hydra mode has to be one of the pieces of news that brought the more joy to me in a long, long while

Usually when copyright-talibans and/or the assholes of the FBI chop a head, a few would grow back. This time it was really worth the wait (with Anna's Archive and others in the meantime! <3) just to see a zillion heads growing back! 🤩

@waifu @cptn @nobullyplz @cqi I want Libbie for dictator.

I've been a professional musician since the end days of selling CDs, and I would like to say that having experienced the decline of CD sales because of piracy transition into the paid streaming era it's unambiguous that musicians were better off when mostly everyone was pirating and then some people bought CDs or other merch out of a desire to support vs today when everyone pays a nominal fee to a corporation that pays us nothing and also satisfies their desire to support despite not actually offering support.

I would much rather you pirate anything I have made or worked on vs listening on streaming services, which are an objective nightmare for musicians. Even if you never intend to spend a penny, normalizing piracy is better for us than normalizing the current capitalist-realism nightmare where you get whatever you want and also get to relax into the fiction that you aren't exploiting musicians because you pay the price of one album per month to a giant corporation so you can feel ok about it.

An eight year old girl went to work with her father on "Bring your child to work day".

As they were walking around the office, the young girl started crying.

Her father asked her what was wrong. As the staff gathered round, the girl sobbed loudly:

"Daddy, where are all the clowns that you said you worked with".

Every time i lived in an actual city, and yeah, that was Europe and for a short time Paris too, i pretty much had everything I needed less than 15 minutes away walking or using public transit,so i really don't know what the Guys mean when they say that's something new.
Now,I'm not saying it's great or anything,in fact i hate living in a city which is why I live in a medieval hamlet in the middle of nowhere nowadays,but still.Having everything nearby is kinda the whole concept of a city,isn't it?

@ThatCrazyDude I don’t think I’ll be visiting Europe until after the war 😂

Just read an article about chatgpt "lying" about someone being dead and it's like "I asked it for the link to the obituary but it doubled down on the lie and provided a fake link instead" and I'm begging people to understand that it's a statistical model, it doesn't know it's lying so it can't "double down". The statistically probably answer to "where is the link" is not "I'm sorry I made it all up", it's a link. It doesn't even know what a link is, it just knows vaguely what one looks like so you're basically asking it "generate a plausible looking link to an obituary in the guardian" and it did
