Probably "admin".

General Order 24 would seem to apply.

I assume they're returning to their truck to retrieve some sort of accelerant.

Yeah, I don't think you're going to convince me that state-sponsered euthanasia is an acceptable alternative to a broken health care system.

To me, this is the crux of it:

Dr. Jitender Sareen is part of a group of eight university psychiatry chairs who wrote to federal ministers and urged the committee not to expand MAID to include mental illness.

Sareen said practice standards to guide psychiatrists and clinicians are inadequate, and Canada is lagging behind other countries in mental health and addictions funding.

"Offering death when the person has not had the opportunity to get better, with or without treatment, is, in our opinion, not acceptable," said Sareen, a professor and head of the department of psychiatry at the University of Manitoba.

If mental health supports in this country were anything close to adequate, it would be a different conversation.

Until this becomes an actual news story, it's more appropriate for c/quarks.

If true, we should probably see some casting news in the near future...

I didn't realize the Good Decider had logged on. How nice to have you.

Sure, if it's not what you want out of a game, I'm not going to argue with that.

But it's really the same game that it's always been.

A note about episode discussions on startrek.website

Right now, the plan is to post the /c/startrek discussion when the episode drops on Thursdays. Once the global community has had some time to watch and digest what they've seen, the /c/daystrominstitute discussion will go live on Sundays for a more in-depth analysis. This is subject to change as we evaluate what works best for the community as a whole.

 

As of this moment, the instance has 108 official users, by Lemmy's metrics. In terms of subscribers:

c/startrek: 145

c/daystrominstitute: 75

c/risa: 20

How do those numbers square with the number of users? I have no idea! But either way...

It's been a long road

 

By popular demand.
