  • Finland is capitalist and kind of solved homelessness, with there being around only 1.3k homeless people in the entire country (population: 5.6m, which means the rate of homelessness is around 0.02%).

    I don't think that communism or any ideology is an answer to homelessness, it's pretty much the job for the government and what kind of systems/reforms they implement.

  • I personally view crypto and the crypto boom as an experiment in unfettered capitalism - it's still a new technology, the governments haven't caught up to it yet so no regulations, yet quite literally 99% of crypto usage was in trying to take advantage of others (scams) and speculation.

    The only thing with actual value that came out of crypto was probably Monero, which allowed for completely anonymous payments, something that crypto, when paired with crypto exchanges, is bad at.

  • Your username says a lot about you and explains why your brain cannot comprehend a disagreement.

    The fact that you're calling me out on not being able to "comprehend a disagreement" while spending hours typing out comments that basically say "lalala I win" filled with personal insults shows 0 self-awareness. If you cannot comprehend the concept of "being respectful" and acting like a rabid dog on any disagreement, the problem is with you.

    That being said, you going for personal attacks instead of actually debunking what I said shows that your argument is, quite frankly, shit. Don't pretend like you're unaware of this.

  • I mean, your argument basically boils down to "you can't complain, others have it worse", which is a toxic take. Should a person who lost a leg not be allowed to complain because someone in the world has lost two legs, and therefore is an annoyed spoiled brat who still has a leg? Should the only people allowed to complain be people on the verge of death, since they're the people who are the worst off? Does the argument work in reverse as in "you can't be happy, others have it better"?

  • One of the things I really dislike about Linux is how when setting up, there's a bunch of things you need to troubleshoot, look them up on the forums even though you haven't really done anything wrong, it's just how some software works or there's a bug or there's some weird setting that's incompatible with your system.

    I wish there were better defaults for software in the future or just better compatibility/more bugfixes so these cases get rarer and rarer, making it comparable to initial windows experience.

  • As someone who's been using Linux for 3 years, the amount of bullshit I have to go through to make some of the games/modding tools work properly or having to look up launch commands for almost every game so it runs well enough definitely makes gaming harder compared to Windows "works out of the box" experience.

    Linux desktop too isn't that much better than Windows except in privacy and security. In terms of ease of use, it's sometimes on-par with Windows but seeing how you need to troubleshoot stuff when setting up and potentially at update time, it's insane to call Linux 10 times easier.

  • I'm guessing that every person is different when it comes to energy drink tolerance, or there might be some underlying conditions. Back when I used to drink energy drinks, I wouldn't really feel anything except for maybe feeling a bit more "energetic" but I'm not sure how much of that is placebo. Granted, I wouldn't drink 6-10 cans a day because I don't think they taste that good, and would only drink a can occasionally.

  • Probably Pathologic 2, assuming I'd retain my fondness towards it.

    On my way to completing my first playthrough, I had to spend at least 2 months warming up to the game and actually going through the first hour, after which it was absolutely amazing. I'm still replaying it once a year due to how much I love it.

  • Vampires are actually real though, there are some companies in the US that sell young peoples' blood they bought from blood banks to rich people as blood transfusions.

    Now it makes sense why most classic depictions of vampires present them as rich people in their own castles.

  • I'm someone who doesn't consent to data collection when it comes to choices given by GDPR - if I visit a new website and I get the popup that says how they value my privacy, I'm always going to customize the settings and have everything disabled.

    However, as of "recently" a lot of websites have added a "legitimate interest" button which as far as I understand is a loophole, and unlike the other advertising options, they're not checked off by default which is annoying.
