I mostly agree with the comment, however, mammals are sentient. Our current laws are massively influenced by us not really understanding them and by ideas such as non-humans essentially being "living machines", created as servants to humanity.

I see ... Now on to the second question, I asked that for a reason: I am guessing the UN is probably (one of) the best-funded organizations, but it gets money from pretty much all governments, not just a single one.

"highest" in what sense? Also, funded by a single government only?

Oh yes, I always wanted to go to California!

Tölpel is originally a species of bird, but you're right, klutz is pretty close in meaning. Origin-wise it's pretty different though: klutz (Yiddish) & Klotz (German) are related, which means klutz is more like a stopping block made of wood/metal.

Huh. Google Translate gives me the translation I'd expected:

my colleague is a Black guy

min kollega er en svart fyr

In Germany, we used to have the exact same term with N, but using that term hasn't been ok since at least the early 90s.

I am almost sure I heard the word "negre" in there after the white guy asks for hair gel.

Just avoid buying diamond jewelry. They dramatically lose value as soon as you walk out of the jewelry store.

I feel like I've avoided subscriptions for the most part, except for basics like rent, energy, telephony, a travel card. The software I use is mostly open-source (some of which I voluntary support on a monthly basis). I don't need paid streaming because public TV streaming is good enough for shows/movies and YouTube with ad-block is good enough for music. I don't game.

The entire premise of this question seems insane. The only industry in which caffeine is vital is probably the coffee industry.

Yeah, there would be a black market and what not but that doesn't mean the world would stop turning off supply ran out.

It's the entire UI of Steam. Same with Discord. Basically, the UI is made with the same tech that websites are made with and Electron is like Chrome displays the UI just like a website.
