@freemo like most people, I'd probably spend more effort to rescue the people I know and love than strangers. It's unfortunate for those who are the most isolated.

@freemo I think it should be up to you to decide when faced with such a situation, not the law. Personally, I don't have firm rules for deciding this, possibly because I was never faced with such a situation.

@freemo it's the idea that people don't always know what's best for them as in "I don't need no education". This has been massively abused by various autocratic regimes and nanny states but it's not a reason to let people kill themselves just because they're going through a phase.

@freemo on whether they can be helped, change their mind about it, and get better.

@freemo it depends

@zoe_dubus merci !

@zoe_dubus je viens d'apprendre que je suis né le jour de l'anniversaire de la découverte du LSD.

@aftd maybe a better model is to consider if there's any period of time during the commute that feels completely wasted? For example, maybe sitting while doing nothing for 5 min is always a nice break, for 10 min it's nice because you can also catch up on the news, and for 20 min it's boring because it's too short to do anything meaningful, but maybe beyond 30 min you can get some work done.

@aftd what about how you spend your time? Do you get more quality time in the train or in the car?

@ELLIOTTCABLE I enjoy looking at these things. It's hard to come up with contracts that are at the same time useful, innovative, and enforceable.

@DeborahJRoss free oxygen atoms are called "atomic oxygen", not "molecular oxygen" which refers to the usual dioxygen molecule O2. It's a mistake in the Livescience article.

@qurlyjoe I just checked with Google Meet to be sure... yes, it does this. Apparently, having no option to see the non-flipped image is a problem for some people: https://support.google.com/meet/thread/33711749/how-to-change-mirror-of-video?hl=en

@qurlyjoe I mean videoconferencing, like selfie mode on a camera, normally does the mirror flip just for you, allowing you to use it as a mirror. Meanwhile, the conference attendees see you normally.

@qurlyjoe nevertheless, the picture on the right looks off but that's how he sees himself in the mirror. Similarly, how I see myself in the mirror or in a videoconference looks normal to me but only to me!

@nonspecialist it's a slime mold. Fuligo septica or similar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuligo_septica

@qurlyjoe oh no, the photo on the right has a grey mask, making it look more different than it should.
