Things that might be helpful:

- (when) do you intend to get your own place?
- what country and would you be able to afford your own place soon?
- are there specific reasons you would move in other than “she lives there and we wanna be together”?
- how far is the move from your place currently?
- can you find me an image of a kitten? I love those.
Also please don’t take Internet advice at face value on such delicate topics, we can show you what to keep in mind, but you are best suited to decide and I’m sure whatever you will decide, you’ll
- Comment on are my friends looking out for me or just ableist? 4 days ago:
Totally agree.
Although as an outsider without any context I find it hard to “recommend” what to do, these are definitely red flags.
Also the comments about your autism are degrading and mean and your friend should know better. I wanna assume she just doesn’t know better, but that doesn’t change that she should really stop saying those things.

Person with autism here: the truth is even if some people on the spectrum can’t use the bathroom by themselves, it’s either a comorbidity linked to a different disability or it’s obscenely rare.
The way autism expresses in different people is very complex and this is this is one of the worst mischaracterizations I’ve ever seen.
That guy shouldn’t be able to touch the US health department or any other health organization for that matter with a ten foot pole. He is explicitly and intentionally spreading lies on a variety of different topics and should have no authority.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

- Comment on If Nothing is Exposed, Am I Safe? 2 weeks ago:
This is probably the best answer. If everything is truly only running on local network and nothing is exposed with a port through your router, you are very safe.
Most issues get introduced when running a server exposed to the Internet.
That said, on the lowest level, if they want to get you, they will. It’s all a risk analysis. And the more interesting you are to adversarial parties, the higher the chances you’ll get pursued.
If you’re Edward Snowden, 99% your calls and conversations are always on record.
If you’re John Doe, truly only your ISP cares when they get a law enforcement request because you really pushed the envelope.
Trending movies are notoriously bad, because movie studios will really try to rake in the revenue.
On the other hand, ripping music from YouTube, no one cares or is able to track it, so risk is very low.

5 star anime imo. They perfectly capture the vibe of speed runners. How as a pro you do the werdest shit to increase efficiency, but it’s second nature to you, and how you get that love hate relationship with a game.
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 3 weeks ago:
It sounds like you might have missed some parts of my comment.
Wages: yes you can claim everything is affected by the relatively low wages. That includes video games. But if you need to save up because of that, video games will be one of the things you need to skip, because it is a luxury good. And that’s sad. That’s why this sticks out.
Price dip from 1980: I made a case for why the costs for video games in 1980 were very high, and probably for a variety of reasons. now quite a lot of those reasons disappeared over the net centuries. So the price increases do not correlate with that, and that’s why using the prices from 1980 might not be a great comparison.
Complaining about a 20$ increase: because everyone has the absolute right to complain about everything. We are the consumer - judging prices is one of our ultimate rights, because we need to make sure it’s worth buying something. Now I don’t think it’s entitlement given all the things I listed before, but if you wanna call it that, go ahead, although I think trying to understand my perspective would decrease your presumptions about people like me.
We have it objectively better by every metric: and this is precisely where I disagree, respectfully. You do not have to understand why, but I feel like painting crowds of people in broad strokes is always unhelpful for perspective and learning. But I guess in the end you do you, I can’t force people to understand someone else and why they’re saying what they’re saying.

I mean tbf complaining that less people can afford it now because prices have increased but wages haven’t is fair. Everything needs to be looked at relative to all the other values. If you wanna go even more in depth I guess you would need to add popularity of games, reputation of a brand or game series, value of the currency, and other factors.
I generally agree with you that prices for video games haven’t kept up that well, although I would also point out that due to multiple factors anchoring the video game price at 1980 might not be the best if you want a fitting picture. Games were much more rare baack then, the market was smaller, small production volume meant physical costs per unit increase, there’s things like way higher shipping costs to think about because globalization is a more modern phenomenon and a lot more stuff. Imo using the 2000s as an anchor to extrapolate from would be more fitting, as the market was well established at that point and thus prices would appear more stable.
I’m not doing that because I am literally a little gremlin who can’t be arsed to put the time in rn but these are my two cents of criticism against your methodology.

- Comment on Organic Maps migrates to Forgejo due to GitHub account blocked by Microsoft. 4 weeks ago:
I mean blocking specific countries is stupid anyway. Historically China has been playing games with the EU and the US on a geopolitical level. But: Chinese, European as well as American researchers have been at the core of research on current topics like AI, security, etc. Btw. ironically the scientific landscape is very collaborative and borders on a federated model, it’s actually pretty neat how much researchers don’t care about country of origin.
What I’m saying is introducing geopolitics into open source development or research is one of the most stupid things to do, because it punished both your and the other country and only benefits uninvolved third parties. It’s literally shooting yourself in the foot.

This is a very interesting perspective.
Although I do think if we don’t have a gigantic leap, AI will never replace programmers, but it sure as heck will make some stuff easier and faster for them.

What was the calculation again?
20/2 + 7 = 17, he’s literally below the date range calculation.
And arguable you change so much between 15 and 20, I always hated the thought of dating a 19yo at 23. This is way off.

What she is requesting is sexual depictions of a minor. Depending on how it’s drawn that is probably illegal in the US.
She could request anything, but she requests a sexual depictions of a minor, even though she probably knows that it’s most likely illegal.
If it’s unethical, there’s room for argument I guess. But this goes further, and usually if something violates a law, in most cases we’re past the ethical debate and straight into criminal prosecution territory.
TL;DR there’s no other way to view this.
- Comment on Day 232 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing until l forget to post Screenshots 1 month ago:
This game is beautiful.
I remember when I played it the first time, I sat on the ship, fishing, and I realized how the water changes colors with the weather, and it was the prettiest game I’ve seen, and I was just in awe. I never had that with any other game.
If the gameplay was a bit more complex, I would’ve spent years in this game I’m sure.
