    I might get one in future if their trials show it works. Being in a pod will prevent Akira from eating my corpse.

    why bother with mass producing a suicide machine when you can get the same effect (eventual suffocation without your body realising) with a dryer bag and a helium tank from a party store

    Less likelihood of someone finding and resusciating you to live with brain damage. Die with dignity. The suicide-seeker may be into cyberpunk. More control over your death.

    I'm just curious why the plans for 3D printing one will be available online.

    You can shoot yourself, drive into a building at 200 KM/H, jump off a building, etc.

    It says no oxygen within one minute.

    But cost may not be an issue, if you're looking to end your life who cares how much it costs?

    So MAGA supporters are more ape-like:

    "2. Social dominance orientation

    Social dominance orientation (SDO)—which is distinct but related to authoritarian personality syndrome—refers to people who have a preference for the societal hierarchy of groups, specifically with a structure in which the high-status groups have dominance over the low-status ones. Those with SDO are typically dominant, tough-minded, and driven by self-interest."

    From Bing:

    "Imagining a human society without primitive ape behaviors is quite fascinating! These behaviors, such as aggression, dominance hierarchies, and territoriality, have deeply influenced human social structures and interactions. Without them, society might look very different:


    2. **Social Hierarchies**: The absence of dominance hierarchies could result in more egalitarian social structures. Power and resources might be distributed more evenly, potentially reducing social inequality."

    Sitting on the garden bench listening to a Proust audiobook. It's almost 8am, cloudy and quiet. Akira is playing in the grass.

    This is about Trump.

    I feel like me taking power then legalising human cloning is a more likely scenario than finding someone I want to marry.

    Thinking about how I'm technically a leftover woman but not sure how to feel about it since it's my fault for not going outside and people show interest in me when I go outside, and it's my fault for being picky. I'm wondering if it's natural selection that I'm not meant to reproduce but chronic fatigue is a big part of that and idk if it's caused by the covid jab or breathing difficulties as a result of trauma. All I know is I'd rather be alone than with the wrong person, I'll never settle.

    You didn't read the website.

    "Sarco is 3D printed and its plans will be available online.

    Most office stores now offer small-scale 3D printing. There are also many cheap models you can buy for home use. However, this is a fast-changing field and it is easy to envisage that 3D print shops which print large-scale (required for Sarco) are not far off. When the technology becomes available, these stores will be everywhere and the cost will drop significantly."

    I think I have one. Used an EMS footmat from there last November. It was on setting 4 but could have gone to 18. It was plugged into the mains and I felt it in my heart and gasped.

    I suppose I would like my dad's work ethic, to be less cold and to be more interested in doing fun things instead of sticking to a routine, and maybe, maybe, to be more normal. Since I can't imagine what a healthy mental state is like.

    I'm interested in this but am not sure which traits I want to acquire. What if I admire Hannibal without realising it?

    ### Advantages of Mandatory Etiquette Lessons

    1. **Improved Social Skills**: Teaching etiquette helps children develop essential social skills, such as polite conversation, respectful behavior, and proper manners. These skills are crucial for building positive relationships and navigating social situations effectively⁴⁵.

    2. **Enhanced Empathy and Respect**: Learning etiquette encourages children to be considerate of others' feelings and perspectives. This can foster empathy and respect, which are vital for creating a harmonious and inclusive environment⁵.

    3. **Better Academic and Professional Prospects**: Good manners and social skills can positively impact a child's academic performance and future career. Well-mannered individuals are often perceived more favorably by teachers, peers, and potential employers⁷.

    4. **Increased Self-Confidence**: Knowing how to behave appropriately in various situations can boost a child's self-confidence. They are more likely to feel comfortable and assured in social interactions⁶.

    ### Disadvantages of Mandatory Etiquette Lessons

    1. **Time and Resource Constraints**: Implementing mandatory etiquette lessons could take time away from core academic subjects. Schools may also face challenges in allocating resources and trained staff to teach these lessons¹.

    2. **Cultural Sensitivity**: Etiquette norms can vary widely across different cultures. A standardized curriculum might not account for these differences, potentially leading to misunderstandings or feelings of exclusion among students from diverse backgrounds⁵.

    3. **Resistance from Students and Parents**: Some students might find etiquette lessons boring or irrelevant, leading to resistance. Additionally, parents might prefer to teach these skills at home according to their own values and traditions⁴.

    ### Importance of Etiquette Lessons

    Etiquette lessons are important because they lay the foundation for respectful and effective communication. In today's fast-paced, technology-driven world, teaching children manners is more crucial than ever. Good etiquette helps children interact politely, show respect, and build positive relationships, which are essential for personal and professional success⁴⁵.

    What are your thoughts on making etiquette lessons mandatory? Do you think the benefits outweigh the drawbacks?
