Again, in the non-Canadian case you have to voice the wish repeatedly, a month apart.
First, I find the sudden switch to non-Canada to be a bit out of left field, wasn't the OP about Canada specifically? Why should we suddenly debate Belgium? Researching what's going on there is a fair bit more difficult given that they are non-English speaking countries.
Secondly, on paper this is also the case in Canada. In practice, they already took out someone who changed their mind and requested hospice care.
Stops a single doctor from sending of people on his own, which is better than the alternative.
This is only the case if the institution considers euthanasia as something to be avoided, if they think it's all fine, they'll be waving people through with bureaucratic indifference. Euthanasia is not an isolated case here, pro-trans people were insisting for years that there's rigorous diagnostic process, where there simply wasn't.

I just wish people were more open about it. What keeps happening instead is that people construct these elaborate arguments about how strict and rigorous a practice is, implying that their opinion would change if it turned out that it isn't, it turns out it isn't, and then they shrug citing a difference in values, while mocking you for being worried about slippery slopes.

Damn, I knew the Internet is full bots, but I wasn't suspecting you of being one, let alone that you're Liberty Prime.
Both have stringent rules (terminal, suffering with no chance of improvement
False, Canada's track 2 euthanasia is applicable to non-terminal cases, and next year it will be extended to purely mental health cases, unless it's delayed again (it was originally planned for 2024, but was delayed to 2027).
voluntary and well considered
Words on paper, there's no evidence that it's either, and the medical profession in general doesn't have a lot of credibility in this topic.
review committee affirms)
What is supposed to be the relevance of this?

Both Finland and Poland invaded the Soviet Union
What are you referring to, specifically?
I think "popping filter bubbles" is a misnorner. There is no filter, be it imposed or organic. No new information you reveal will make people go "oh my god, I had no idea, that's horrible!". People look at this and think it's fine, actually.
As for vocabulary, I have plenty, I'm just a bit burnt out seeing it all shrugged off by interlocutors having completely different values.
Whoa. I didn't see that one coming. What's your workflow there?
A combination of modest ambitions, and AI slop. I'm planning to tell the whole story with handful of stills, and some spoken dialogue. The workflow is:
- generate a sketch
- throw it into PowerPoint (most of the dedicated storyboard software was either overkill, or expected me to be able to draw, rather than import a ready image)
- write dialogue
The middle section of the story is 90% reusing the same sketch (there will be some animated details, but here I'm just describing them, rather than showing them explicitly). Most of the variation / actual work is in the beginning, to establish the scene, and will be at the tail end of it, with a little montage of the protagonist preparing for the alien invasion.
It's also possible that I'm overestimating my progress, let's see.

Didn't do much in terms of code, but for a change of pace I started working on a story board for the game's intro. I think I'm about 50% done.
How have you been doing @Southkraut?

and in private by other transactivists.
How does that help when in public they enable them at every step?

Don't you kind of have to be racist for this to make sense? I can see the tragedy in an entire group of people going extinct, but only if there are inherent differences between groups, and losing one one of the groups means forever losing their particular expression of traits.
Otherwise "kill anyone who disagrees" doesn't feel all that different from "kill anyone who looks different than me", particularly when the demand to not disagree includes conversations about agricultural reform that have caused mass starvation.
Communist murders of Kulaks were an attempt to purify their society from within
They believed in a global revolution. To the point that I had commies tell me you can't say real communism has been tried until there's still capitalism in any part of the world.

FreeTube is, IME, back to being completely useless now.
Please have the bare minimum of patience. Thrse things are usually sorted out after a few days / a week or so.

The parent poster fantasises about stoning
If that was his objection, maybe he should have quoted that part?

While one can easily situate wokeness in a lineage with historic leftist/progressive movements, I think nineties political correctness (with its fixation on identity politics organised around race, sex and sexuality) has so much overlap with the wokeness of 2010s that it's fair to consider it a recurrence of the exact same ideology rather than an offshoot.
Yeah, but I'm saying the 90's were themselves a recurrence. For example, this:
Instead, the task for socialist feminists is to develop a cultural marxism that can adequately explain the intricate interactions of the oppressions of race, class, and sex; a cultural marxism that helps give a clearer articulation of our various voices: feminist, black, chicano, Native American, Asian, male, female, gay, lesbian, heterosexual; a cultural marxism which understands human needs-family, ritual, religion, sex, fun, insanity, pain, fear and so on.
Was written in the 80's, and the obsession with identity seems to already have been in place, and the author was not the one who came up with the idea either.
In the other comment you put forward a hypothetical of Nazism being defeated, but not condemned in the same way we do it now. I think one of the effects of that would be what we're seeing here - the ideas periodically resurfacing under a new coat of paint, and the old iterations being forgotten.
Exactly, people jump in with half-baked reason to condemn one side, even though another side was easily as murderous. "Oh no, our murders weren't as bad, because they're not race-based!". It makes absolutely no sense.

Some would go even further and describe Woke 1.0 as the "political correctness" movement in the 1990s.
...or the "New Left" of the 60's, or various far-left movements in early 20th century Europe from Spain to Russia, and and so on and so on, probably until the French Revolution, if not before...

but so are you. Those ancient foreign cultures were sexually degenerate; they were not exemplars of traditionalist
Uh... Where have I said that they were?

I was not aware that we had lost it.
My understanding of the "marketplace of ideas" is that anyone can put forward an idea, and let it stand on it's own. Not that as they do it, they also have to strategize about not getting fired, what to do if they do get fired, how to get around institutions throttling their reach or banning their idea outright, how to organize and fund security for IRL events, etc.
Which is why I left her at her doorstep
Poor gal, she got all excited about what she learned in her anti-racism class, and now she keeps getting disappointed

"Woke 1 was crazy".
It was only "Woke 1" if we're in Year Zero. These are core progressive ideas that have popped up throughout the century, that they sometimes get temporarily embarrassed about, and when that happens they try to throw the whole episode down the memory hole.
Non sequitur, unless by 'crazy left-wing stuff' you mean 'anything Jack Chick didn't like'.
How? Demanding that new definitions for "man" and "woman", and a belief if in "gender" be adopted is far beyond anything I recall seeing in a Chick Tract. The practice of Gender Affirming Care can also be rejected on the basis that it's pseudoscientific garbage, rather than "Jack Chick didn't like it".
One, that was not universal across all civilisations
Still a lot more universal than pro-trans people like to believe. A lot of the cultures they like to portray as having a concept of "trans" or "third gender" didn't, and they're just reinterpreting them through their values.
We should focus less on being normal and more on being kind.
There is nothing kind about accepting transgenderism, though.

It's been a while since I saw the story, but at worst all you can say it was people he had some sort of a grudge against. Their properties were quite separated, and he targetted them specifically. It wasn't a random rampage.

who caused quite a bit of damage.
To corrupt politicians' property. It's hard to be mad at that. It's like when lefties were vandalizing, and celebrating the vandalization of random Teslas, but if the cars were the personal property of Elon Musk.
Any specific links / names / titles? I keep hearing this and find it mildly fascinating, but I never bothered looking for actual materials on it.
