If you're on windows this means you don't own the file. Go to properties security and take ownership.

The default windows configuration is aimed at old people who will call tech support when they fuck up their PC.

You can take ownership of pretty much the entire filesystem.

Windows is actually hugely customizable people just don't.

Pigs are pretty much proof of god. There's no way nature could create such a ludicrously delicious animal. Every fucking part of it is just gorgeous.

A woman literally died the other day because they wouldn't give her the correct procedure during a miscarriage for fear of legal repercussions.

How would you feel if that was your mum or sister or friend?

This shit matters dude.

The point of a photo is to remember something you did. Not generally the photo itself.

Resharing someone else's photo is not even similar to going somewhere and capturing the moment.

When you're old those photos might be all you have left.

No, we are nowhere close to learning as the human brain does. We don't even really understand how it does at all.

The point is to encode solutions to problems that we can't solve with standard programming techniques. Like vision, speech recognition and generation.

These problems are easy for humans and very difficult for computers. The same way maths is super easy for computers compared to humans.

By applying techniques our neurones use computer vision and speech have come on in leaps and bounds.

We are decades from getting anything close to a computer brain.

I mean mental illness can cause plenty of suffering so I don't see why it should be excluded. As long as that person can give fully informed consent the same as other conditions.

You're actually straight wrong here. This is about terminal illness not disabilities.

Having less than 6 months to live is a requirement.

Calm yourself down and take your own advice and read it.

And before you lash out about me not understanding I have Crohn's disease and type 1 diabetes. I am disabled and it affects my quality of life greatly.

I'm not sure if you've had to endure the torture that is watching someone die a slow and painful death but there is no dignity in it, only suffering. Allowing people to avoid 6 months of that is not a bad thing if they want to avoid it.

I kind of lucid dream but only enough to know I'm in a dream. Been the same since I was young.

It usually happens during nightmares. I've learnt to throw my right shoulder back as hard as I can in the dream and I wake up doing it.
