What if you deport citizens by mistake and then just throw up your hands? No way to get them back, sorry.

I thought someone had worked out that it was users who commented on NSFW furry posts that got these. I guess I could do a test and see if I get my first one.

One thing's for certain. There will be under 40M people not voting in Canada, so you'll minimally halve the USA tally.

I understand your position now. You can probably have it in your Advanced Directive to deny you life-ending care should that be an option where you live. Hopefully you won't get to make that determination for someone else.

If a person is in such immense pain that they would rather be dead and there is no reasonable expectation from an objective standpoint that their situation will change (e.g. they have metastatic cancer in multiple organs), then they will never return to the state of mind that they want to live. Denying death at that point is sadistic.

Now extend that idea to the torturer being cancer cells. You will suffer extreme agony until you die. There will be no reprieve outside a partial numbing of the pain from high morphine doses that keep you mostly out of consciousness.

Or have I misunderstood your other comments and you covered this scenario when discussing the terminally ill?

They also don't exist for us and aren't ours. Your first comment didn't mention consciousness or feelings.

On Lemmy, no one pays for anything but everyone makes a living wage.

That's the law in all countries that allow euthanasia, as far as I'm aware.

Extend that to plants and mineral resources, and you'll be both fully moral and dead.

I reckon you could be tortured out of that belief, although I don't wish it on anyone.

I didn't even know Temu sold cocaine.

We can't really know what happened from anyone's perspective but the OP.
