Thank for the time for an answer.
It is true that there are some differences I haven’t considered. For instance where I live there’s Universal healthcare, so going to the doctor for anxiety and getting medication would be easy and free, I have done it in the past when I needed. I suppose I’m very lucky of not needing an official diagnosis to be able to have easy access to treatments for the issues it may give me.
- Comment on What's the point of constitutional monarchies? Why even keep the monarchy in place if they aren't even doing anything? 1 day ago:
Not going into civil war. Basically that’s it.
Democracy but don’t destroy previous institution because some people would actually go to war over that.
I think eventually they all will fall. When people just stop seeing the point.
- Comment on Can the Internet be an ethnicity? 1 day ago:
One genuine question.
What change did a diagnosis made?
I’ve known all my life I am in the autistic spectrum, it is clear as day. Never diagnosed and to be true, I don’t see the point. From my perspective it would be like going to the doctor to tell me I have pale skin and that I need sunscreen when going outside.

Not everyone who doesn’t want to talk about politics 24/7 is far right. In fact most are not. People be seeing far right in their own shadows nowadays. Stalin level paranoia.

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 to making it become harder by letting it consume all my mental focus.

Is it really so many banned people? I thought most of us were here voluntarily due not liking reddit policies. I have my reddit account, I just don’t use it.

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.
Just live life.

Politics need to be contained to their own communities. Propaganda everywhere (even if it’s propaganda that confirm your own views) drive people away.

Good moment to ask how is Victoria 3
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 1 week ago:
I liked vice city and San Andreas.
Since IV they have been striping features from the games (also IV had huge performance issues). And V is completely bland to me. I didn’t enjoy it. And I don’t expect much from VI. I expect the same shallowness as V with a different background.
If I’m wrong good from everyone. But I won’t get disappointed if it’s as boring a V.

If not so much about holding purchases. Is about money sitting. With deflation your money is worth more each day. So investment is discouraged. Why risk money if money by itself grow?
In a economy based on investments that not desired
- Comment on When society completely transitions to cash-less, what happens when the power goes down? End of the world? 1 week ago:
Center spain. Until 6pm we didn’t had internet or electricity. But most TPV still worked.
Here is an article explaining why: xataka.com/…/resolviendo-grandes-incognitas-apago…
Basically there’s two ways. The SAI of the supermarkets keep them going. Or they had the advanced models that accepted offline transactions.
- Comment on When society completely transitions to cash-less, what happens when the power goes down? End of the world? 1 week ago:
In Spain credit cards still worked during the outage.
And the proposal for digital Euro already contemplate an offline mode for transactions.
As long as the power loss doesn’t last days and batteries die out there would not be a problem with that.
- Comment on How come id Software / Bethesda have never sued Bungie / Microsoft over the similarity between Doomguy and Master Chief? 2 weeks ago:
Why would they? Getting inspiration or doing something similar to something that already exist is not illegal. And it shouldn’t be. All art is derivative, and that’s ok.

- Comment on 34% of the US population doesn't vote. Why do polticalitcians cling to the idea that these voters can't be reached? 3 weeks ago:
Reaching means addressing their issues. Addressing one person issues will probably conflict with other person issues. Wich mean that a choose have to be made on to who represent.
Some people are easier to address than other. Some people are more exigent to their representatives than others. Making it not wort it trying to address them.
It’s important to mention that just by “mentioning” people in your campaign those people are not going to vote you. You need to do specific politics that solve the problems they may have. Which is not easy and most of the times it opposes what other people want you to do.
- Comment on Why are popes always really old? 3 weeks ago:
It doesn’t really makes much sense.
The amount of power is the same. They don’t get more power by voting a pope every 5 years rather than every 30 years. They still vote for the pope, the person in that position is always there because it was voted by the Cardinals.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 3 weeks ago:
Some people like to travel in Minecraft. There’s something in just picking a direction and moving there for days, exploring. In Minecraft you would never reach the end. In Luanti you’ll hit the end of the world in a few hours.
Also for massive multiplayer purposes. Servers with hundreds of people are impossible in luanti’s size.
And it’s not just me. You go to Luanti’s forum and one of the biggest threads is one asking for infinite worlds, players want it.
They used to say the the world size was embedded deep into the code and that a massive rewrite would be needed for that and that it was not worth it. But someone already made a fork that has this feature and didn’t change that much so… And no, the fork is not a solution due to Luanti “modular” approach that fork is incompatible with any Luanti game so there’s no game really just the base “engine”.
I don’t have high hopes of devs ever addressing that, so I stopped following the project. I hope be proven wrong, but something tells me that it’s a change that will never me made.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t know about Luanti. The world size limitation is an issue that’s hard to address, and there’s some ‘denial’ going up within their devs about it. Stating that the current world size is more than enough, ignoring the great amount of people asking for bigger worlds.

Wait, now that I think about it, the observable universe have precisely that length because the speed of light, doesn’t it?
- Comment on God is a dick. 4 weeks ago:
There is idea in the three body problem novels:
Tap for spoiler
That the speed of light was infinity at the birth of the universe but sentient species reduced the speed of light several times as a offence/defense mechanism to protect themselves from others.

- Comment on Is this picture idea immature? 5 weeks ago:
I take immature as a compliment here.
What do you want, a boring picture driven by society expectations, adulthood stress and other people’s pressures. Or a fun picture idea that came from a mind still able to be creative.
It’s immature and you should do it.
- Comment on Are most people here left-wing? 5 weeks ago:
But you are not part of their movement, at most are a supporter. But get excluded from being part of it. You need labels to be included. No labels no representation. That’s why we see people collecting more and more labels each day, because without a label you are nothing in the movement.
And you may support, but you are not part of the decision making, you are not considered when decisions are being made. Solidarity is expected from you, but you should not expect nothing in return.
This may suffice for you. You may need nothing for your selfless support. But most people are not like that. More people when they feel that kind of exclusion just move out ot the movement and do their own thing. Because everyone wants their voice to be heard. This explain a lot on what has happened with politics in the later years. Thus why I advocate for the end of identity politics, and return to class politics, include everyone as equals, without some being “more equals than others” if you catch my drift.
- Comment on Are most people here left-wing? 5 weeks ago:
I do think progress slow down because identity politics indeed. And progress became more fragile, being easily erased by all the people who got pissed off by identity politics.
The thing about identity politics is that it’s useful for majorities. I don’t see the point in using identity politics for minorities, by definition they are doom to lose. Wider interclass politics are needed for minorities to get rights in a sustainable way.
- Comment on Are most people here left-wing? 5 weeks ago:
I don’t see it that way. Speaking as non conforming gender bisexual.
I think I can properly defend my rights without making groups that exclude others from it.
Again, just my opinion, and something that I do not agree not in the final goal (everyone being happy and free) but in the how to achieve it.
Also as an European I think identity politics (in this context) were mostly born in USA and imported here. But we had achieved way more liberties before identity politics than after (we were one of the first countries in the world that legalized gay marriage for instance, and we didn’t need the kind of identity politics that exist today to achieve it). And since identity politics took over I feel like we haven’t be able to achieve much more, because we take a conflicting approach that meets much more resistance from excluded identities than the previous approach.
At least that’s my humble opinion and perception of reality.
