As non-american I’m becoming increasingly convinced republicans are actually lead by traitors wanting to destroy the US.

Check out teaching programs in Thailand which is probably the most trans safe country in the world. If you’re a native English speaker with teaching training you can get a work visa and a ~1k usd/mo job which is more than enough in this region and generally the organization hiring you handles everything including housing except the flight and initial embassy application.
The trans culture here is ancient and thus a bit different though so you might need to familiarize with that first and see if its acceptable for you.

Unless they come from a culture where living with your parents is absolutely normal which is surprisingly still very common.

I’m not sure if they’re all that different. Early forums were very much similar to Facebook walls etc. Irc even had bot powered gamed and complex systems like user verification etc.

- Comment on Anon remembers moot 1 week ago:
I disagree with this very western take. Social media is huge and connects billions of people that otherwise would be disconnect. It also allowed to rise of many net positive liberal ideas especially in the eveloping countries and the incredible economical stimulation is rarely talked about.
People forget how bad the world was before internet. Sure it raises some issues but also solved much more.

Yeah to me it seems very clear that 4chan is a net negative on the society. We all would have been better off if it wasn’t created and I say that as someone who did find value there in the early days (had a decent programming community)

Literally says “young men” in the title. Do you need a dictionary?

Young adults needs stronger world frameworks that don’t feel forced on them.
IMO that’s a virtue system!
I’ve been a Stoic for over 20 years now and managed to convert dozens of people to progressive thought just by discussing virtues that are inherit to human nature (justice, courage, wisdom, temperance). People like abstract virtues because they’re easy to incorporate to their personal world models with very little friction and friction is the real thought killer.
Most people are truth seeking but can be very slow learners and some really rebel against strong friction so there’s a need for more abstract approaches like - using “colorblind” instead of arguing race, using “cosmopolitan” when argueing geopolitics, using “secular” when arguing religion etc etc. Every other argument can follow afterwards.
This is the way.

The world is not America - so how come this is an issue in other places?
- Comment on Nexus Mods' new owners promise they won't monetise the site to death as users panic at the whiff of venture capital 2 weeks ago:
Funny how all of that is straight up solved with any package manager or even git itself (with submodules) for free and yet gaming community is protecting some proprietary burning heap of garbage.
- Comment on Nexus Mods' new owners promise they won't monetise the site to death as users panic at the whiff of venture capital 2 weeks ago:
As a software engineer i always found nexus simply archaic. Hot take but the molding industry might be better off with a new mod index.
- Comment on A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"? 2 weeks ago:
Most games that dont scale into 100+ hours. I never reach that point anyway.
- Comment on What are some good places/activities where a middle-aged man can new make friends? 2 weeks ago:
We must be going to different ones because there’s loads of down-time in most games and people would have a smoke break and just hang out with food and drinks post games.
Board game cafes is my 1st choice for social connections when arriving to a new country and I make friends every time.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I said it might have come earlier. You fundamentally don’t understand correlation vs causation and getting angry with me dude. Seriously go read a book or something this is silly.
- Comment on What are some good places/activities where a middle-aged man can new make friends? 2 weeks ago:
Boarlld game groups and board game cafes are great for that!
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Correlation cs causation much? Not sure what to tell you because clearly you just hear what you want to hear or have no sense of logic.

If the Switch didn’t exist then I don’t think we would’ve gotten the Steam Deck.
or we would have earlier and more of it? I’m not sure how are you basing your hipothesis is but to assume that handheld market with this crazy demand would just be there unfulfilled is kinda silly.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Its unfair to call it a “console war” when one is a classic locked down console and another is a general handheld computer. This also means there are bigger societal stakes in this argument than jusy “which corporate flavor you like more” because empowers people and the other does the exact opposite.
So no, “console wars” here are very much cool.
- Comment on Why do I drag my feet when it's time to start a new task even if I know I'll enjoy it once I get started? 3 weeks ago:
Because task starting is legit hard and I don’t think it needs some mystical explanation. The way to adress this is to break it town to small tasks and start at it. When I start my remote software engineers work day I start with a checklist to what I want to do - thats already first tiny task that sets me into work mood. Then make the first points easy loke “check email x”, “check website Y” etc.
It’s important to be descriptive with your tasks and just don’t write “check all emails” because those are demotivating and tiring just looking at it. Use multiple points of “check customer X emails”, “check email replies”.
Ive been working remotely for over 20 years so I’m very familiar with this issue and this tip is the best one I can give!
