    It’s crazy to me that we don’t have sensible right-to-die laws here. I was reading about one somewhere (Sweden maybe? I can’t recall now), where there’s a cool pod. It was placed in a beautiful forest. Woman was in chronic pain all her life, so she goes in, pushes 3 buttons, a gas painlessly makes her go to sleep and die. The company picks up and cleans up.

    It was awesome! Legit we need that here in the US.

      IIRC that pod was largely an art installation, but it was apparently legit used just recently?

        Yep, that’s it. Here is the dailymail article, I know you hate them, but they have the pics of it in the forest.

        I think there should be legit ones, just like that. Because that seemed the best way to go if you gotta go.

            Right? Well, supporters of the Duopoly have never been my biggest fans. I’m a proud socialist, so this kind of thing is pretty much par for the course, friend.

            And the fact that you felt the need to bring that up in the discussion of an unrelated article about assisted dying proves my point. Why would me being “remarkably unlikable” have anything to do with a news article posted in a world news community?! Thank you! :)

              Banned from politics and now moved on to World News. Hope you get the boot a lot sooner than you did on politics.

                    And the parody account has been perma-banned from multiple subs, including this one now.

                Thanks for your kind words!

                My ban in politics is just until election tho because of fears I’m influencing voting minds and you all are taking up the mods time complaining.

                I disagree with that assumption, but the mods are totally allowed to mod as they see fit, and I can respect their wishes-- even if I disagree.

                And this is a different community and this is a different news subject. Let’s try to stick to the topic.

                Thank you!

                  Gee I wonder why your posting frequency tanked immediately once you were banned from the most popular place you’ve been posting.

                  Because, according to you, you do not care what anyone thinks of your posts and you only want to encourage discussion. So, being banned from that space shouldn’t impact your behavior at all. And yet it did, drastically.

                    My posting frequency hasn’t tanked at all. Feel free to look at my post history. Thanks! :)

                    But it hasn’t. At all. Why would it? c/politcs was never the only place I posted. Which you know, because you post my posting/downvoting stats every day. My post history: https://lemmy.world/u/UniversalMonk?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts

                    And regardless, you posts have nothing to do with the article I’ve posted. Let’s try to not veer off-topic. Thanks! :)

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
