  • I always thought that given that personal use of google street maps os free for the user. It would be really easy to just make a copy of that game for free relying on scrapping instead of api calls.

    Insert chad scrapper vs virgin API user meme.

  • There are several issues with that.

    First and foremost. Most people's devices are not powerful enough to make any money mining any cryptocurrency.

    Also a cryptominer is not "free real state" it chugs the computer. The user would have a terrible experience trying to do anything with a cryptominer on the background.

    And finally, there are many free software out there. Not everything is to be monetized. Some things should just be free. I have done plenty of free things for others to enjoy, it's not the end of the world, quite the opposite is quite rewarding.

  • Where I live they are. As we have universal healthcare.

    We still got hit very hard by both a cocaine and heroine crisis.

    Not all people who need help will seek it, even if it's free help. A hard lesson to learn, but one you learn while living in a country why vast social programs and universal healthcare but there are still people with severe issues who just refuse to get helped.

  • Yeah, I know. I have my struggles in life. In my country disposable income and quality of life for the working class have been in constant decline for years (even with a socialist/communist government). But after so many years in politics, I found out that letting it consume me doesn't change anything. I do what I can do to be better, but the rest of the time I focus in my life. It's already hard enough by itself to making it harder by letting it consume all my mental focus.

  • It's not like tariffs are going to disappear only if people talk about them 24/7.

    Not expending all your mental energy in thinking about it and just enjoying life, hobbies and other topics is probably one of the best things you can do. Why do you think orange guy makes the statements he make. It's not because he is stupid (even if you want to think he is stupid) is because he knows his opposition gets triggered by it. And if you are constantly thinking about it you'll destroy your mental health and the mental health of those around you. Exhaustion is their goal.

    I'm luckily not American, but I've gone through my share of idiotic rulers. And my best advice is not letting your life to orbit around them. They will come and go, but the years you lose thinking about them all the time don't come back. Talking to Americans nowadays is disheartening seeing how many stress people are taking and how they move into more stress instead of trying to disconnect and move away from it.

    Just live life.

  • It's not appropriate. But don't take it personal.

    I am sensitive to noises, so I can empathize very well with people who suffer when noisy/kids people are around. It can be really debilitating and stressful. And frustrating, as there's usually no control over that situation. So it's usual for people to vent the extreme frustration generated by shit talking.

    Maybe they have a neighbor with noisy kids and they are suffering every day because of it (as it is my case for instance). So being rude to strangers who may not have special concerns if kids/people are noisy or not is a way to vent. Not a good way, but it's natural in most people to vent their frustration with people they assume (correctly or not) are related to their suffering.

    What I mean is that noise sensibility can be a very serious issue to some people. Empathy and compassion is needed in this cases when defending anything related with noisemaking.

  • Leonardo DiCaprio. I can never believe he is the character I always see an actor trying to portrait a character. Like with other actores I can believe I am seeing something that happened. With DiCaprio I'm always aware that I'm watching an actor doing a performance.

    I don't know if that makes a lot of sense. But it's one of the few "good" actor that makes me feel this way.

  • Of course. I stand on high moral ground when I chose to pirate.

    Economy is broken and anti-consumer. Piracy if the only way I know to balance things of. If I wouldn't be pirating I would just be letting those economic bullies take advantage of me.

    And specially with cultural products there's another big reason, as I think human culture is to be shared, not sold. I do actually think is inmoral to prevent other humans to freely access anything that could be considered cultural.

  • Not going to argue about the general kid stance. Just about the "shitty parent" bit, which is also de main complain.

    There are two tiers of good/bad parent. There's the objective one, are the kids being hurt? No, then you are a good parent. Pretty easy.

    But there's a more complex one. Are your education as a parent helping to produce an adult with a series of determined characteristics? This is a lot more complex. As there's no universal agree on what a good adult is so there cannot be a good agree on which parenting is good because it produces these type of adults.

    I'd would assume that when people say "you are a shitty parent" they would me mostly saying "your education will produce an adult that I do not consider desirable in my idea of a society". That's subjective. Some people prefer some traits and other prefer others.

    As in this general example if someone sees a kids making a lot of noise and their parents not correcting them they may say "that's a shitty parent". Do they think they are hurting the kids? No. They'll just probably think that those kids will grow up to be noisy adults and they don't like noisy adults, so they think that's not a desirable education for a kid in their society. Nothing more. I wouldn't take those "you are a shitty parent" in any other way.

  • I still think going to war is worse than watching some news about whatever on the tv or tiktok.

    Btw, mental health issues are not on the rise. Diagnosis is on the rise. Before those same mental health issues existed and were undiagnosed and untreated, with terrible consequences. At least kids today are getting the help they need with mental health.

    Good luck in the 80s trying to go to a doctor for anxiety, or to get any kind of mental health diagnosis or treatment as a kid.

    And let's not even mention the constant house violence against kids that used to happen. Boomers and gen x were wildly beaten by their parents as a normal practice. Nowadays parents no longer hit their kids.

    Child protection laws are way better in every way, many kids are no longer forced to stay with abusive families...

    And of course there is a world in difference for an LGBT kid in the 80s compared to now.

    I sincerely don't think there is any reasonable approach to defend that today kids "have it worse" than previous generation.

  • "Big sponge" have us all in their pocket.

    My toothbrush head actually starts developing black patches overtime of what I asume is my own bacteria setting in in the brush. Mostly in cavities hard to reach for a normal cleaning.

    For me boiling easily removes those dark patches. It is true that they come back faster than the time they took to appear the first time. Put it peaces my mind and I'm still alive after all this time.

    Funnily enough I stopped using washing sponges in the shower and start washing myself only with my hand because someone told me that sponges were bacterial paradise. And to be true I found out that I really don't need a sponge to clean myself.
