I love that you had such an annoying update experience that you went ahead and created 2 memes about it and postet into a total of 4 communities, only to vent your frustration. Keep going, this is great!

Reading this made me instantly have the gay frogs song stuck in my head again
Some of these AI results are really funny, but this has to be fake, right? Are the AI results really that fucked up? There is just no way!
The thing is, that the important part is not just reaching zero by 2030, it’s to minimize the carbon output along the way. For every ton emitted in addition to their plan in these past years, they should be undercutting their plan in the next years. Looking at the stats, that seems highly unlikely to happen, as they’d need to be carbon neutral for all of 2024 only to offset their failures in 2023. It’s so frustrating.
I don’t think your distinction makes sense.
You’re saying most mental health/suicide cases have hope, and thants probably true! But the article wasn’t “every suicidal person granted euthanasia approval”, it was approved for one very extreme case of mental suffering with no indication of improving. That would be like saying “most cases of pain still have hope”. Yes exactly, they do, but there are rare, chronic cases where euthanasia may be a valid option, right? And just as much as suicidality is just ‘a symptom of something’ else, isn’t pain also just a symptom of something else?
And obviously we should help suicidal people to improve their mental health, but in her case she has been struggling since childhood with no indication of improvement. So how was this “the wrong decision” for her?
“I’m depressed and want to take my life. I’ve been struggling since my childhood and in 10 years of different kinds of treatments, nothing worked.”
“Have you tried jumping out of a plane with one of those flying squirrel things?”
“Oh wow, that was it, that fixed it! Thanks!” /s
Have you read the article?
Under Dutch law, to be eligible for an assisted death, a person must be experiencing “unbearable suffering with no prospect of improvement”. They must be fully informed and competent to take such a decision.
After 10 years, there was “nothing left” in terms of treatment. “I knew I couldn’t cope with the way I live now.”
In the three and a half years this has taken, I’ve never hesitated about my decision.
How is this a temporary and overcomable problem? It seems clear that it is not temporary and no kind of treatment worked for her. As per the law, there must be unbearable suffering without prospect of improvement, and during the multiple stages of this process, apparently no one came to the conclusion that that wasn’t the case for her. So how can you make that assessment?
The only thing I’d note is to be careful with your issue #2, because this sounds like it could break with autofill. Some autofill implementations may fill invisible fields (this has actually been an attack vector to steal personal info), so blocking the IP because an invisible field labeled “email” has been filled could hit users too. Otherwise, 100% agree!
I’m completely out of the loop on this one. Can someone point me in the right direction?
