If they are capable of giving consent, they are capable of activating the system themselves.

You’re thinking of a big red push button, but a button can be a pad that you bite down on, or a eye twitch activated electrode, or any number of things.

The important thing is they initiate the process themselves, so that they have the option to withdraw consent as easily as they gave it.

True consent is not immutable.

It’s assisted in the sense that a doctor can help them insert an IV, load up the correct drugs, make sure they understand the procedure, and monitor to ensure it goes smoothly, but the patient themselves need to press the button that releases the drugs (or nitrogen in the sarco pods case)

I think they start on 0 here though. Reddit automatically upvotes your own posts, but not here

They’re faster than the stovetop by a lot over here, so if you’re boiling a lot of water multiple times a day (for tea, coffee, ramen, and whatever else) they’re super convenient.

If you’re not making many hot drinks (or have better machines for that) I’m not sure how much use they are.

As for cooking, I know for myself, when I make something like rice, I boil the water in kettle first, and it definitely saves me a couple minutes. A few minutes doesn’t sound like much, but it all adds up. Another commenter says that they’re actually not that much slower over there, so it might be worth timing one compared to stove top?

TIL

Electric kettles (or hot water jugs depending on where you are) are just not a thing there. Apparently it has something to do with your 110v AC system. They don’t boil as fast, and so never really took off. Just a little factoid that blew my mind, considering how commonplace they are everywhere else.

worst Bethesda DLC’s released of all time

Are we including Horse Armor here?

It’s all you can eat though, so there’s that

Make good, free games. I want to be financially stable enough that I can just make cool stuff and give it away, and not worry about trying to monetize it, or protect it from pirates. I just want to create for the sake of creating. I’ve got no interest in starting a business/company/indie studio/whatever the fuck else it is people think I should be doing. Added bonus, if anybody ever takes issue with something I’ve made, I can happily tell them where to stick it. It’s free, you have no right to complain

It’s just a rom hack, so I don’t see why not?

For everyone hating on the inconsistency of the art, I’m willing to bet it was a deliberate choice.

The inconsistency adds to the charm, and means that anyone who was a fan of it can submit art, regardless of skill level.

I’ve never seen it applied to a game before but it’s more obvious when compared to something like Shrek Retold

Thanks for the reminder!

Personally, Tabasco in the bin. Hot sauce on cold pizza the morning after? Breakfast of champions

Yes, because it’s so difficult to get a gun in America any other way /s

Developer bailed on it, and it got dumped on someone without the resources to carry on with it, so they’ve put it into maintenance mode until February next year IIRC? Then it will be gone.

Honestly I’m just glad they’re actually doing the maintenance thing instead of just vanishing overnight, or just leaving everything in limbo, which seems to be a problem in this space.

None of that is correct. I was thinking of Firefish

Instead, they attribute the most blame to businesses and governments of wealthy countries.

They are not. fucking. wrong.

Don’t misunderstand me, do what you can yourself, because every little bit helps, and absolutely boycott them if you can…

but never forget “your personal carbon footprint” was a BP invention.

Until the big polluters are held to account, nothing you or I could do, even combined, will move the needle.

I just want every keyboard to have a home and end button (I’m a coder, and my current keyboard doesn’t have them, and I have to set a binding in every. single. thing.)

I think you have enough people saying that this isn’t normal, but…

You’re in your mid 20’s and you cannot bend over to tie your shoes!? How old is your GP? Sounds like they need to think about retirement… or a career change.

Also just want to second what someone else in here said: Get tested for celiacs disease

I had to read it a few times. It’s confusing
