Abortion deserves to be medical care.
Contraception deserves to be medical care.
Prescription medicine deserves to be medical care.
Gender-affirming surgery deserves to be medical care.
Fertility treatment does not.
If you live in a country where IVF, IUI, ICSI, or other assistive reproductive technologies are funded by a single-payer health care programme, see if you can join a campaign to criminalise fertility treatment. It's a market where, globally, £20-40 billion yearly (from both taxpayers and vulnerable families) are wasted.
We can use this money more wisely – on improving access to contraceptives, adoption services, and foster care: areas which actually do improve quality of life for families and help build equality for everyone.

Well-designed currency shouldn't need a central authority to print it, manage it, or equally distribute it. With smart enough money, those which currently do work as/for such a central authority will have their jobs freed to work on solutions to more pressing problems which will better benefit society.

Which do you think is more likely: that governments eventually collectively realise that copyright is harmful to humanity and repeal/cease enforcing it, or that generative AI gains enough power to force said governments' hands into doing so?

Playing Uno actually by the standard rules seems to make it a way simpler, more easily understandable game, whilst actually making it more strategic. The many popular variations tend to end up causing more chaos and pain for the players, especially if they can't be agreed on.
Not saying that chaos is bad or anything, though I do recommend looking through the gameplay leaflet before starting your next play session.

Make no mistake – generative AI is the biggest, most pervasive, most powerful weapon we have against the intellectual monopoly.
Globalisation of the internet marked the beginning of the end for copyright. Generative AI is our hope for dealing the final blow: to permanently sever the connection between art and artist, thereby making copyright unenforceable.

Maybe? In this situation I didn't see the pretext as relevant enough to note in my comment – there definitely is legal precedent to invalidate consent afterwards if not enough information was provided beforehand. For example in the case where one party neglects to inform the other of having some STD, in which case it could cause real harm, or if one party is underage or doesn't have enough understanding of consent to know they were pressured/sexually assaulted.
However in cases like this it seems significantly less severe. It would be flippant of me to say "ok? just don't have sex with them again then", but from what I've seen, real victims of rape tend to see similar cases as abuse of a system intended to protect people who misunderstood the meaning of their consent or were pressured into thinking they did. Thank you for pointing that out though, consent vitiation is indeed a wider and more nuanced topic than I originally thought.

I needed to have ethernet in a part of my house that didn't have a cable. I'll run a cable there eventually, but in the meantime I found an old wireless range extender and used that instead.
Now I'm connecting my PC up to it and realising how strangely slow the speeds were (~700 Kbps), so I look up the model number of the adapter to find its rated speed.
Turns out it's a powerline adapter. Reason for the slow speeds was that it was on an extension cable with the rest of my networking equipment. Moved it to its own socket, speeds 100x'ed.
