I'm not browsing netflix regularly but we have a few tv shows which are worth keeping netflix anyway like the current Stranger Things, The Umbrella Academy, Russion Doll, Better Call Saul, ...

Next to that we watch normally one old TV Show which is the easy way to go to. Right now its Friends. Bevor that it was Star Trek Voyager.

Thats enough for me already to not feel bad for paying $10 per month for it.

But than there is also something we don't have in germany: super weird tv shows like 'The floor is lava' or 'is it cake?'. I scroll through them and watch a whole season in lets say 1-2 hours by watching the start and forwarding to the end or so. And there are so many of them and surprisingly interesting like the glass stuff or the chocolate show with Amaury Guichon, which is crazy :D

No need for you to bashing netflix if you don't like their content.

Its $10 per month, 2 coffees.

I also do watch a lot of tv shows and movies for the last 15/20 years (also stuff besides mainstream) and there are pretty good tv shows on netflix. Stranger Things, The Umbrella Academy, Better Call Saul, Russian Doll, Love Death and Robots (the last season was weirder than usual though), Space force (super quirky, love it!), The Witcher, Arcane, Superstore, Squid Game

Didn't know netflix actually allows to download this.

Very nice, but now i'm way more curious than before. Like prefered weekdays, top tv shows (i watch and others watch) etc.

I would also like to see when its more or less 'netflix time'.

Like right now we have stranger things, the umbrella academy and better call saul. Could easily be visualized and potentially even inform me when i can unsubscribe temporarily (not that it matters that much for a few bucks per month)

there was a documentary about a person (in german) who survived without arms and legs and i beliefe no hip/parts missing of his hips.

The doctor in this documentary said that in these cases its prefered to give pain relieve medication instead of helping surviving further.

I was not able to find it thou.

'readily' we are not talking about the sucidie booth from futurama.

Sorry but please try to avoid creating a strong opinion if you haven't even thought about the issue in hand in more indempth than 'readily'.

Btw. for further thoughts: Imagine that getting sucidie support takes 3 years. It involves different doctors, mandatory therapy and than you have the approval to do so.

Wouldn't you think this would potentially even lead to more people NOT killing themselfs? Basically helping people to commit suicide as a form of preventing sucidie?

I would believe so.

No one just kills themselfs. The same reasoning btw. (i know it wasn't mentioned but out of personal expierience i just wanna mention it) its the same with abortion. No one just does an abortion.

There is no logic to your argument.

There is no inherant reason to life.

The biggest issue with this topic is, that it spits in your face if someone else doesn't think lifing is the only answer after becoming aware of yourself.

But lets take a view which YOU might understand: Imagine yourself without arms and legs. Only way to move around is by asking someone else. Every means of eating or switching the tv channel is by asking someone else. That person actually doesn't even like you but its the only option you can afford.

Imagine being kept alive because alive is the main goal of all of things.

Are you aware that if a medic finds a person without arm and legs (and lower body i think), there is a suggestion to try to not helpm them?

They might want to have official support / professional support to do it proper and not somehow.

Right now this option is blocked by governments around the world.

And due to the problem, that the government can't just legalize it without save guard around it, this makes a quite good case that there has to be some government involvement.
