I’d much rather we put them in submarines ;)

This is different. The raw meat of an abattoir is its product, while heat is the byproduct of a datacenter. It’s even something they do their best not to have. Distributing that to the community would be a great positive.

Consoomers: oh whatever should we do?

Consoomers: I can’t believe more people are dying!

Yeah…

In 2025, roundwood consumption in Finland totalled 78.9 million cubic metres, representing a 3% increase from the previous year. Forest industry production accounted for 84% of the volume, while the remainder was used for energy production.

Compared to the previous inventory, forest resources have continued to increase but the average annual increment has declined from 107.8 M m3 to 103.0 M m3.

– Forests of Finland 2019–2023 and their development 1921–2023

That leaves 20 million cubic metres of wood in tact in Finland.

Vote right-wing again, I dare you, Finland. Maybe then you’ll learn what happens to your forests, just like the global south has.

Didn’t locals help transform those trees into lumber?

What’s more important, the needs of a company with the wealth of a small country or… a small country?

Source for this claim?

Bask in the knowledge that I did something right.

Religious stories are such nonsense. It’s good we make fun of them.

Republicans must have the smallest dicks known to man.

I’m loving how the tools that are supposed to be used to make the rich richer are being used by the people to cut into profit margins. Maybe we’ll see the day where releasing something closed-source won’t make sense anymore because somebody will point an AI at it and say “make this run on my PC” then upload the code for everybody to use.

Macroslop has been praising AI for a few years now. Let’s see how they’ll thread the needle between praising it and trying to limit it from hurting themselves.

Consoomer spotted.

Fuck GTA6 and it’s publisher/developer. They treat their employees like absolute shit.

Look at places where there is no government control. How’s that going?

And what about untreatable illnesses? And what about treatable but incurable illnesses that make life hell for the patient? Do you make a distinction between livable and unlivable anguish? Is “treatable” a binary that determines patients’ wellbeing?

I agree with you: we do not do enough for our citizens. We should be doing way more. Where I disagree with you is preventing those who genuinely want to leave this world from doing so with dignity.

This isn’t a “fuck the ill, kill 'em”.

That is not what I’m presenting at all. Suicide is the the greatest freedom a single person has. That does not mean somebody else has to participate in that act. If somebody requests that help, the process should determine whether the person can be helped before granting that request.

You’re twisting the debate into something it’s not about. This isn’t a “let’s get rid of all the mentally undesirables” act.

What we’re talking about is that if you have a mental illness and you want to be unalive, you should have the option to be assisted in fulfilling that wish. Nowhere does it state “all depressed people must be killed”. Nowhere.

You’re presenting assisted suicide as if it’s just a “willy nilly” decision. People don’t “just” go to a physician and stick a needle in their arm. It’s a long process that involves careful evaluation.

Going “I didn’t kill myself and I’m happier for it” doesn’t make you the spokesperson of thousands of other people who are still here, suffering, and wishing they weren’t here anymore. You aren’t in their bodies. You aren’t them. They should be able to decide for themselves and if that means suicide, they should be able to do it with dignity, not by jumping in front of a car and messing up multiple lives in the process, or running amok and getting shot by a cop, or jumping from a building and traumatising those around them.

You shouldn’t get to make that choice. They should. That’s the discussion here.
