  • I used to think that till I met absolute Chad of a man with failing kidney and he would laugh at the situation refuse to be treated, he was like I’m 47 I lived a happy life and I’ll die if ill die but I’m not being bound to a bed, refused multiple dialysis interventions from his family and was clearly getting in pain towards the end, finally sold his very few possessions, gave some money to his youngest sister that struggled financially and took some drugs and died on a beach alone. (he had already gave up one kidney to save a sibling).

    That man clearly didn’t care much about, he didn’t care about his family getting hurt because of his illness and death, he didn’t care about pain to his body, he didn’t care about death, and honestly I saw him 3-4 days before his death, he was still laughing like he was at peace and played a few games of uno with me.











  • Missing article was here It didn’t contain much other than dates it was filed and plaintiffs information. Which is a standard practice anywhere.

    In July 2024, ANI filed a lawsuit against Wikimedia Foundation in the Delhi High Court — claiming to have been defamed in its article on Wikipedia — and sought ₹2 crore (US$240,000) in damages.[14][15][16] At the time of the suit’s filing, the Wikipedia article about ANI said the news agency had, “been accused of having served as a propaganda tool for the incumbent central government, distributing materials from a vast network of fake news websites, and misreporting events on multiple occasions”. The filing accused Wikipedia of publishing, “false and defamatory content with the malicious intent of tarnishing the news agency’s reputation, and aimed to discredit its goodwill”.[17][14][18][19]

    The article is still up, Wikipedia calling ANI biased, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_News_International

    So not really sure, why the massive outrage. Removing intricate details from ongoing lawsuits is standard practice.

    While the lawsuit by ANI demands that editors who made the edit claiming ANI as govt mouth piece be identified, Wikipedia hasn’t done it yet and the article is right about setting a dangerous precedent if high court forces Wikipedia to reveal the names. But at the same time article is biased and has misleading information such as > In an unprecedented move, Wikipedia removed the page from its platform on October 21.>

    You can see some well noted examples of articles being removed before from Wikipedia here . So there is clearly precedent for removal of articles. I used love vox a decade ago, but now I see these half truths/partial stories are a commonplace and I’m happy to have ditched vox now.
