Mhm, I think they must be 100% sure somebody is in actual danger though? They can’t just try and shoot somebody who has an alleged knife right?

What the actual fuck

Sometimes the police from the USA go to Europe to learn how to handle these situations without murder. And European police sometimes go to the USA to learn how to handle gun situations.

This would not have happened anywhere outside of the USA, not even in dangerous countries. Just my 2c

I know protecting the public is not technically their job

It literally is the main job.

Cartels is such a buzzword. Most of them just do normal business. And only cocaine comes trough them outside of America.

What is your point exactly? Are you merely expressing that you’re not moral yourself for posting here? Are you going around telling people who buy stuff from China that they are all enabling child labor and wage slavery?

Everything can be better, but if you take away something that people like, you kind become responsible for the result. Imagine taking the beer away from somebody enjoying some beer, what’s the chance that you’ll get your ass kicked? But what happens when a cop takes away the drug of a drug user? Most people just give up, lose their drugs, get fined, and possibly even jailed. It’s safe to say that most drug users think your morals are far worse.

I would even say that you are the one enabling an oppressive force, while cartels just leave us the fuck alone.

From my experience, most of them are good. They can’t really go around fucking people up or they get fucked up themselves. I even know some people that had problems and bought from different dealers, because the dealers wouldn’t sell them that much if they only went to them.

Opiod dealers are a different kind, but most of them are opiod users too, so it’s hard to judge them. I’m not even sure I still consider opiods to be drugs.

Drug dealers and OF girls are good people too.

This might be a weird take, but it does show. The Germans tend to keep to themselves. You don’t really come across them that much in other parts of Europe. It’s very noticeable in some music subcultures, which don’t make it into Germany, but do all around Germany, which is interesting.

Most of the countries that were invaded by the Nazis make Hitler jokes except for the Germans.

I’m wondering what you are arguing.

So she was supposed to die because she had an addiction? What some call a disease?

Well I’m from Europe. Being added to marketing mails without my explicit consent is illegal.

It’s funny because I have a GDPR complaint against a big online service that added me to their marketing list after using their online contact form to get some information. I thought it was a simple complaint but a few months later I got a legal document outlining all of the infractions they made and that there’s now a case open against this company.

If you signed up for their mails willingly that’s a totally different story of course.

You did not read the article. Her partner was a match and willing. The hospital blocked it because she didn’t pass the test for a liver from the donor list.

Nope. This seems like a stupid rule.

Transplant guidelines in Ontario and much of Canada require patients with ALD to first qualify for a deceased donor liver. If they don’t meet that criteria, they aren’t considered for a living liver transplant, even if one is available.

It was perfectly possible with her partners liver. This is just “no you didn’t do what we want so we just let you die”, and you’re here trying to justify that.

I had this before, but with 7k emails I think.

I just took an hour or two of my time to clean it up completely.

• Find an email from a service that you don’t want
• Click “unsubscribe”
• Search all emails from the service
• Delete them all
• Repeat

When clicking “Unsubscribe” and you are redirected to a mailchimp or similar email service, select “I did not sign up for this”. This way they can get in trouble with their email service :)

Isn’t it about her chance to get one though? “There was no process for a second review or appeal.”

You have a window were you can’t drink any alcohol for biological safety reasons, but in this case the mere rule of not drinking alcohol was enforced. This makes it a punishment instead of some biological requirement.

Some time ago I had to go under general anesthesia to have some teeth pulled. Local anesthesia didn’t work. I wasn’t allowed to eat for 24 hours. But I was so hungry that I ate just enough to not have stomach pain anymore. In the hospital I said I ate a tiny bit, and they said that it wouldn’t be much of a problem if I only ate a bit. Compared to the OP story, I wasn’t punished because I was still within the safe window.

Why should somebody get punished by a hospital? They should be neutral. “Oh you drank alcohol? You’ll have to come back later because of safety reason”. They shouldn’t be the judge. Giving them that power is just stupid.

I completely disagree. People should be able to make mistakes. Stopping upon diagnosis is the best she could have done. If she continued drinking after getting a new liver, that would be a different story.

I hate this “get shunned out of society because you aren’t perfect” culture.

That’s how it works

Well first of all, normal bread isn’t supposed to last 3 days. You can only achieve that by sorcery, or what we call chemicals. Another thing is that in some countries bread comes in those single-use plastic bags, which makes it last longer.

So what you experienced is actually normal.

This is getting as cringe like that stupid brick joke on r/dadjokes.
