It’s fine. All this really means is together you have generated multiple posts worthy of this sub with a single photo. Very efficient of you, I appreciate it.

Yeah. Any Co2/other climate change regressions that the US makes affect everyone globally, and while water use is local, its also as-needed, so post-collapse you have to use up all your water anyway.

AI could use solely graywater/non-water cooling and renewable energies, and that’s the answer, just takes slowing down, building specific and rigorous facilities, . Letting the US speed along just hurts everyone due to climate change.

That and every major company economically depends on each other, and disconnecting from the US in a way that doesn’t cause backlash also takes time.

Fuck america but don’t let them drill holes in the boat we’re all riding.

Then you’ve killed the man you told and the court will have a terribly difficult time producing him, but if they manage it, you’ll have to marry him to apply any kind of privilege.

A lawyer is considered an extension of your (legal) self. The reason is that if your lawyer can be compelled to talk about your private communications, then a client won’t actually get a fair trial, as they needed that lawyer aware of everything to defend them properly, but if prosecution could just call your lawyer to the stand and go “did they do it?”, no one would tell lawyers anything incriminating.

Your spouse is also considered to be part of you, legally. You have a right to confide in them, they are part of your life.

Same for a priest, many religions require confessions and have religious consequences for not confessing or a priest telling what they heard. The right for them protects them from being forced to break religious rules, although notably this one doesn’t exist everywhere.

Nurses and doctors are covered in the same way, actually. Revealing your medical information improperly is a HIPAA violation.

Aside from spousal privilege, all of these relate to their job. Your lawyer defends you, your priest hears your confessions, your doctors and nurses treat you. If you tell your priest about your heart condition and your lawyer about your blaspheming against god and your doctor about that time you murdered a man back in '03, then no privilege protects you at all.
