Surely you can get rid of that ‘parasite’ in the first few months instead of waiting for the last minute? I don’t see how drawing the line at, say 12 weeks now somehow takes away a person’s bodily autonomy.

Speaking of a red herring, a comparison to a forced kidney donation is completely irrelevant here.

You go to lemm.ee, feddit.uk, lemmy.ca or what ever instance you wish to join and create an account there. Just like you went to lemmy.world and joined that one.

Possibly yes but that doesn’t help if one is morbidly afraid of approaching women for example.

However my point was that it’s a bit pointless to ask why would someone become something when by definition it’s involuntary. It’s like asking why would anyone be under 6ft tall.

The one I live in: Finland

The only thing I don’t like is the short summer and long winter but I try and convince myself that it’s the 4 distinctive seasons and the shitty winter that makes me truly appreciate summer. It’s also good for the human character which probably partly explains why we’ve been voted the happiest country in the world who knows how many years in a row. It may be less true now but it’s still in our genes; in the past you better be nice to your neighbour because once the winter comes and food runs out, your life may depend on them.

I bought a pick-up truck because I’ve wanted one ever since I was a kid and one day I just realized I’m an adult with money and I can buy whatever I want.

Well I started my own business a few years later so it turned out to be quite useful purchase in the end anyway

You become one by not being able to find a life partner or even a one night stand. Not something I’d really blame the individual for.

Love it when I can buy personal massage devices and heavy earth moving machinery from the same place

I would notice but what I would be even more concerned about is how they got into my house

I started my own business which involves going into people’s homes and fixing shit. I’m meeting a ton of new people nowdays, granted most of them are either elderly or single older women / moms.

Reading this message chain makes me want to buy ones.

Yeah. If it fails it’s the wood around the glued joint, not the joint iself.

Same with my early-2015 model MacBook Pro. My only Apple product. It just works, what can I say. I’m basically waiting for a reason to switch to the Framework laptop but we’ll see. I might eventually just get another MacBook. I gifted my SO a MacBook air around the same time I bought mine and she has had zero issues with that as well.

The pyramid of Khafre in Giza. It’s the one with still some of the cladding remaining on top. The second largest one of the three.

It’s been nothing but politics and memes (often about politics) since the first day I joined. I can only imagine how bad it is without my content filters considering how bad it is even with them.

Well debate about wether taxes are good or not are a whole another discussion. I live in a wellfare state myself so I don’t mind the relatively high taxes I’m paying because I’ve benefited from what the government spends it on my whole life and continue to benefit in the future as well, not to even mention the people less fortunate than me.

If you’re broke, disabled and unable to provide for yourself the government will provide you with an apartment and money for food. 200€ a year is pennies compared to the benefits people like this are receiving.

I don’t know where you live but the property tax on my house is 200€ a year which is less than half of what I spend on groceries every month. If I end up disabled and without a job, the property tax, from a financial perspective would be among the least of my worries.

If you mean that the average person doesn’t exist in real life then you’re correct, but to claim that what is statistically average cannot be determined, then that’s just a bunch of nonsense.

Having rented before and now owning my own house I can gurantee you that there’s a major difference in the freedom between those two.

You think homeowners should not be required to pay property tax and build whatever they want on their property disregarding all safety regulations and building codes? I can definitely see how that would go horribly wrong…
