Gaming conspiracy theory 

Publishers and developers won't give up on the idea of including NFTs into games. So they'll first normalize them via the more popular games/franchises.

Most likely Fortnite will be one of the first games to get it, followed closely by a Call of Duty title.

@Eiregoat
So let me get this straight, are they saying Hansel and Gretel predicted the Holocaust?

@alyx They're planning on doing mosquito vaccine swarms

@DotardTed
The more he struggles the more convinced I become that he did it on purpose.

Conspiracy theory 

By the time the next major pandemic comes around, the governments will invest into edible vaccines, and they'll start to secretly inject vaccines into meat. Why meat? So they can force anti-vaxxers to cuck themselves into veganism.

>Everyone seeks cheaper options
Yes, and no. People do seek cheaper options, but they still want to meet a minimum standard of quality.
The state doesn't really have that minimum standard of quality.

Your standard of quality is that you're happy. The state's standard of quality is that you don't complain, not that you're happy.

@Hyolobrika
The state doesn't want to spend it's precious budget on your ass, so it constantly attempts to cut corners when it thinks it can. So if that means pressuring you to take a less effective, but much cheaper, medicine to treat whatever you have, it will do it.

The more corrupt your government is, the stronger this effect will be, and it's not limited to the medical field. If you ever end up in ex-communist countries in Eastern Europe, and wonder why our roads are utter shit, the reason is that the government hired the cheapest and worst road workers possible, which in turn use the cheapest and worst materials to build the roads.

@galena
I see. So making an analogy with drug laws, it's like the difference between:
legalizing drug use but not the selling of drugs, which is what other places do;
and the Canadian approach which is basically the Amsterdam of euthanasia.

Seriously though, the Canada euthanasia stories are fucked up.

It somehow does make sense though, that a socialized healthcare, that constantly seeks the cheaper alternatives (cause it's socialized) would try to push for assisted suicide as often as possible, since it's not that expensive to kill someone, and the state doesn't have to bury you either.

But in that case, how come something like this didn't develop before in the European countries that legalized assisted suicide?

If you're not a fan of eugenics, just think of it as post-term abortion.

@rimugu@liberdon.com @galena @RehnSturm256
Well... I mean... I don't think assisted suicide had been legalized in a morally bankrupt country before, so I think that's why this took people by surprise a bit.

@RehnSturm256 @rimugu Roger Foley suffers from a degenerative brain disorder and claimed he was being offered euthanasia so regularly that he began secretly recording hospital staff. In one recording obtained by AP, a hospital ethicist tells Foley his care is costing the hospital “north of $1,500 a day” and asks if he has “an interest in assisted dying.”

Another British Columbian, Alan Nichols, was euthanized only days after his family brought him to a Chilliwack hospital to recover from a psychiatric episode. Despite Nichols’ history of severe mental illness and suicidal tendencies, he was approved for death by health authorities after only four days in the hospital’s psychiatric ward.

another article about the same person mentions:

His application for euthanasia listed only one health condition as the reason for his request to die: hearing loss.

I think Canada's coerced euthanasia legalization confirms that socialized healthcare really is the more evil of the options. :cirno_stare:
