To complement the above reply, although you paid a lot for the car, you’re paying even more daily, giving many away to very nasty companies that will turn your investment against you to increase their profit. Your data will be sold and you’re donating money to billionaires.

Is that what you want? Are you happy to have ads on a windows install you already paid, for example?

Because that’s what you’re doing. If you got a massive discount on account of the daily extra profit you’ll give them I would understand. But if not, why be so charitable to people who don’t deserve it?

I think it’s just internet impression.

Being gay is soooo much easier today. I would say we reached the utopia, because I don’t hide and yet my life doesn’t seem different than straight people.

The screaming ones one both sides, the “everyone must know I’m gay” and the “no one should be allowed to show they are gay” are the minority, but they sure are loud. And internet is their megaphone.

But that depends on the country of course. I’m sure gays in Saudi Arabia are not happy.

It always annoyed me so much that gay was a personality type like goth or nerd or jock, in US media.

Yeah. Same. The dream was to just be normal. That liking guys is the same as liking girls. You can be a femboy gay, or a macho yanktank straight, or the other way around. But it’s not anymore simply who you like that catches people attention.

You can simply be gay, and that is just one detail of your life. Not a whole fight anymore.

As an older gay guy, as you grow older, being gay stops being important. You just like guys, and the other guy like girls. That’s it.

And it’s actually kind of annoying how some people make that their entire personality. But when I left my mom’s house I even hanged porn pictures on my room, to tell everyone what I am and that I wouldn’t hide anymore. So I was the same.

But over time I realised that I should never have to hide, I didn’t have to keep showing either. I didn’t really want. I just did it because I was angry I had to hide.

My point is; we are here. Just not that visible.

Plus we didn’t have internet back then. Thank god. I wouldn’t want to see again the things I would have written.

Edit, I must also say that it’s because a lot of people fought for our rights. I couldn’t just be a guy who likes guys back then. It’s a luxury I love. I can say stuff like “my partner, he does this or that” and it never becomes “what, are you gay?” anymore. It’s just like a straight guy talking about his female partner most of the times, and that’s awesome. I can choose to make it my personality or not these days without having to hide.

It’s just odd. What’s your reason? Why only China? I see you sprinkle some Russia but it’s mostly China. Are you that afraid of them?

For instance, I hate israel, because it’s an invasion and genocidal and in the last 50 years they probably killed millions. I hate them a lot. And yet I post more varied stuff than you and some other people like you. So what’s the reason?

It almost look like this state sponsored bullshit your posts talk about, but it’s hard to believe Americans or who knows what would pay someone to post on Lemmy.

Checking your post history, you realy, really hate China right?

You made it your life purpose to only post this kind of stuff. A committed person for sure.

That’s in the docs right?

Good to know about the majority with GD script. That means it will be easier to find tutorials and scripts without needing .net.

Thanks, I’ll check it.

I’m not a programmer so I won’t go very far anyway with the scripts. Plus I’d rather not get involved with anything related to microsoft if I don’t have to, even if it’s open source.

And I’m amazed at how small Godot is. The .net extra seems to be much bigger than the engine itself.

Thanks. I’ll check it out.

3D. I’m hoping it’s mature enough now. Seeing the release notes it seems that only recently they have some things unity always had, but I’m not expecting parity. It will be just a hobby. But maybe I can make something nice. Plus, it’s open source so that’s awesome.

That’s amazing!

I was thinking of doing something similar with a battery fan and that video will help.

I don’t care at all as long as it’s not below inflation.

I have my super with australian ethical and banking with great southern bank, but I’m sure both still invest in israeli companies and the like. If anyone have better suggestions I’d love to hear. From my researches I couldn’t find much.

I’m much more worried about helping criminals get richer than to make a profit.

It’s a vicious cycle when you’re depressed. Internet helps to ignore the horrible life you want to forget, but it also ensures your life stay horrible. I’ve been there. When you’re not on the internet draining your brain you feel much worse.

Some people use alcohol or drugs instead. I’m just coming out of 4 months like that and I don’t know what I could have done instead, when you just don’t have the will to do anything, not even to kill yourself. Internet doesn’t require any will.

Not a lot of people I hate more than him.

I prefer the usual villain that kills the world and doesn’t pretend to be sorry.

This shithead did so much evil, destroyed education worldwide with his fight against open source, made the whole world poorer and now pretends to be a nice guy.

At leat Steve jobs was an asshole all the way to his grave. I prey for you to die more quickly bill gates.

You might want to research a little before throwing up opinions.

And holy shit, I searched white Australia and there is a website defending it. I didn’t click the link but the description…

White Australia is the rebirth of our Nation. A Nation is a people, and we are a people who descend from the British Isles and Europe who have made this continent…

And some imbeciles trying to blame this on Russian spies… As if Australia needed a push.

It’s kind of a joke. Their behaviour is predatory and in a decent society that would not be allowed.

I think profit from real estate should be illegal. At the very least from the land you bought. Not sure about what was constructed. But probably not either.

No one should be allowed to sell a land for more than they paid, considering inflation, etc. No one should be allowed to get land to profit. You may b profit from the use of the land maybe, but NEVER from the land itself, be it renting, selling, whatever. Land is not a product you make. It’s limited and existed before you.

I didn’t say that. I said that after all investors are dead, then we can start looking into immigration. But it’s quite possible that the real estate issue would be solved and I would have a house and we would find out that immigration was not a problem.

I mean you’ll see more people resonating with your opinion there. Here you will be bashed. Potentially with good reasons.

I believe in supply and demand yes, and I don’t believe real estate follows that. It’s a game and those who know how to play and have better resources win.

As mentioned here, there is the COVID example. I don’t find your explanation credible. “People” (if I can use the term for those who benefited from the pandemic) didn’t get rich so quickly for your explanation to make sense.

What I do remember, not what I think, was people complaining everywhere that they couldn’t find workforce. I remember a lot of chaos that happened directly because the immigrants were gone.

Other than that, I’m not an “investor” and I would never be. So I can’t debate that. I do know that investors (I know quite a few of them) are the cancer of society and their death would directly benefit everyone, probably also solving the real estate issue and I would be able to buy a house since anyone wanting to profit from that would worry about being murdered.

That’s my personal opinion on the subject. After all investors are killed, then we can start checking if immigrants are a problem and try to solve it. But it’s probably a somewhat radical opinion.

Your opinion is very popular on reddit. You should check it out.

Because they own the media. Or they are the ones the media wants to please.

Seeing TV on the gym always make me wonder who the hell makes that content and who the hell is meant to consume it.

Are all the viewers real estate agents, house owners paying for renovation or people on yatch trips? I don’t see a single normal person on those shows.
