  • I went into the doctor’s yesterday and that was the image of health care she sketched out: due to future budget cuts and the inverted demographics pyramid, people with less healthy lifestyles at some point in the future will no longer be helped. Pretty unsettling to hear such things. I guess we can do away with seatbelts and motorcycle helmets too then.


  • Inciting others to boycott the vote was criminalised in 2021. On Sunday, Hong Kong’s Independent Commission Against Corruption (Icac) said that four men, aged between 31 and 44, had been arrested for allegedly inciting others not to vote, or to cast invalid votes, in social media comments. The Icac said all up it had arrested 11 people for allegedly contravening laws in relation to the offence during the current election, and three had so far been prosecuted.

    It seems people not voting is less preferable for the regime than them voting for a puppet.


  • Anything Elder Scrolls kept me busy much longer than the main story, most notably Morrowind. Also, I replayed GTA IV (+ stories) last week, was heaps of fun, especially compared to GTA V which I played a few months back. Read Dead Redemption 2 is a good one for this list as well, I enjoyed that one immensely, but I mainly focused on the main quest during that run-through, so this is a good reminder to myself to pick this up again soon (sadly I fell back into the pull of Satisfactory so it might be some weeks/months/… before I get to it)
