Pretty sure she would not meet the standard for notability. So you can write one, but it’ll almost certainly be deleted.

Where there are no appropriate existing articles, the criminal or victim in question should be the subject of a Wikipedia article only if one of the following applies:

For perpetrators,

The victim of the crime is a renowned national or international figure, including, but not limited to, politicians or celebrities;[10] or The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual—or has otherwise been considered noteworthy—such that it is a well-documented historic event. Generally, historic significance is indicated by sustained coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources which persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to the individual’s role.

No way you haven’t read the other replies to my comment.

The US is a hellhole with a billionaire class living above the law, sure, not arguing with that. I guess maybe I should have assumed US defaultism for this question.

But OP made a blanket statement about all laws, and didn’t specify a country either. If your username is any indication you’re a Marxist. How do you think a Marxist state would work without laws?

That has certainly been the case in some places, though by no means all of them. Enforcement is also a separate issue to the law itself.

But to provide some maybe better examples, do laws that enshrine workers’ rights to form a union only serve to benefit the rich? Laws that limit donations to political parties? I really don’t think you can make that argument for all laws.

I guess I haven’t yet. Maybe you can help me: How do laws against, for example, rape, only benefit the rich while oppressing the rest of us?

Yes. Never liked the feeling of sitting or sleeping in a room with the doors open. Also I generally have the heating at different levels in different rooms.

Sure. But all I’m saying is to consider the possibility, since if it were a paranoid delusion, you wouldn’t know it. It would feel completely real to you, because that’s how it works.

And I’m not even saying that it’s necessarily that. There are many medical conditions that could cause the type of pain you describe. Maybe see a GP first.

But your neighbors using some kind of “device” on you - that’s extremely unlikely and AFAIK not even possible in the way you describe.

That is, indeed, what every paranoid individual thinks. If people were aware of being paranoid, they wouldn’t be paranoid.

Think about what’s more likely: your neighbors torturing you with some kind of sci-fi tech, or you having a medical condition?

There is no such device. What you need is, in all likelihood, a therapist, or a doctor in any case.

Looking forward to trying it out. I’ve been teaching myself Freecad for a while and I’ll be honest, it has been a mildly infuriating experience at times. Still seems like the best option for a free CAD tool without ridiculous licensing terms though. This looks like quite an improvement in any case. Hopefully it’ll even fix the regular crashes I’ve been getting.

You probably had a faulty DVD burner then. I did it within the last year, using my modern computer and a cheap external drive.

Nothing’s stopping you from burning a CD right now. But ultimately, these kinds of nostalgic memories are less about the tech itself and more about remembering the happy times of youth. Bringing back the burned CD won’t bring those back I’m afraid.

Have a battery that stores the surplus electricity for later use. That’s pretty standard for solar installations.

Yeah, parts of it may have traumatized me, but I ultimately also quite liked the show as a child. I’m sure it helped me empathize with the suffering of wild animals and gave me an early idea of why we should protect the environment.

It definitely wouldn’t fly as a kids show today, but I think it’s an interesting discussion to have when and how much kids’ media should explore darker topics. Ultimately the show was still very tame compared to some of the books my parents got to read as kids, which included things like kids getting ground up in a mill for playing a prank or getting their thumbs cut off for sucking on them.

“The Animals of Farthing Wood”. It’s a cartoon about a group of animals who try to find a new home after humans destroy their forest. Many of them die horrible deaths along the way. Still vividly remember the hedgehog family being run over on the motorway. And yes, it was a kids show!

I think you’ll be heavily affected by AI in that field as well. From possibly having LLMs as a first level support agent (already common in corporate customer support) to having to help people who messed up their PCs by letting their AI agents have full access etc.

For German, I guess Pennsylvania Dutch would come closest? At least in the sense that it’s a variety of German spoken in North America. It’s barely understandable for modern-day Germans.

Maybe so, but getting neither kind of terrible tattoo is always an option, isn’t it?
