If I was a rat I'd be in favor of this as well. Gives you a fighting chance to stay alive, and the death is far better overall than some of the poisons out there that are horrific in what they do to the rat, slowly.

Sure. After removing yourself from the conditions. My guess is that either this meme's suggestion is exactly what's happening, or rather she is barely aware of things and the paramedic is asking if she can find a number on her phone for them to call a loved one. Had to do that at work once with someone who had a seizure and couldn't stay conscious long enough to call themselves.
As bad as the smartphone is for other reasons, it's wonderful for being there as a contact tool when you need it.
An excuse I've heard is that it is society's way of passing the final judgement to God. Hence the "may God have mercy on your soul" line. Not only does that assume the existence of said judgement and entity to do it, by said deity's clock that judgement doesn't have to be so rushed, it can wait until a natural death. The reason reason is to satisfy the desire of revenge, but even that doesn't work, as killing the killer doesn't bring back anyone.
Death penalty in a modern society is insane. Addressing the problems that lead to such behaviors is the long term fix, not killing who does it.
That money goes straight back to Treasury.
There it is. "Why are they doing this?" Right there.
Even better, going off my view of the marketing AI Everything as an annoying popup, we need AI to fight AI, counter the attempt to ask the user if they'd like to try Copilot by yeeting it off the screen. Everyone likes robot fights.
LLMs are the next wave of popups here in the second quarter of the 21st century. I've become skilled at removing all the requests to let AI help me in whatever I'm actively doing. I about lost it recently when Excel threw one at me at work. NO, I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP!
Having a better guided search in a help feature I don't mind. But stop pushing it in everything, just have a way to get to it (and have it WORK when I use it!)
Best reply.
Random drunk walk is sometimes successful in the results. The bonus is that it also prevents some malevolent actions from succeeding.
Been with several companies that have the first part in their policy. It makes sense to avoid, or at best minimize an external influencing factor in company activities. Basically they don't want to mess with lawsuits. That's what company policy is for, protect the company.
The rest is owner greed. He doesn't want the gifts to stop, he wants them all without doing anything to get them. Either enforce a 'no gifts, period' policy or let people do what they will.
In what experts described as a highly unusual arrangement
Oh, that's what we're calling blatantly illegal actions now.
There were a few moments in the Marvel Universe. Spider-Man even had his first movie based off the common man and results of super hero actions to create new baddies. But the one that stands out to me is in Iron Man 3, where Tony is going to fire on one of the bad guys in the compound and the guy throws down his gun and says, "Honestly, I hate working here. They are so weird."
Individual creatures do have their own traits that make them differ from the rest. They aren't robots following the exact same instruction for every stimulus. That being said, personality implies a sense of agency or self-awareness, and I don't think they have that. Humans have a built in desire to anthropomorphize anything that begins to resemble something human-like, it's in our brain.
