This isnt about the official servers being online forever, this is about being able to host your own server without having to crack the game in weird ways.

Drug addictions spiral out of control because their lifes suck and they want an escape. If you make their lifes harder you dont help anyone. Drug addiction should be treated in the same way as mental illness.

But the most effective way to help them is to give them a perspective and a way to get out of their situation before they have to stop using the drugs, i.e. give them housing and have a doctor supply them their drugs, then slowly taper them off.

Or just dont let people get homeless in the first place.

That isnt without risks itself and it might not have been practically possible in some cases.

Would you desert if your family gets sent to a concentration camp when the army finds out?

Well, during the war ukraine has no choice but to kill the russian soldiers if they want to win.

But I think that ukraine treats POW fairly well and if the war ends they probably wouldnt force them to work in Gulag conditions.

Just because they were soldiers doesnt mean they were nazis. A lot of them were drafted and at the end of the war even teenagers were sent to the frontline because all the other young men were already fighting or dead.

If a soldier was part of the SS or SA, he was a nazi.

It is likely that we humans or our ancestors were responsible for the extinction of most of the megafauna around the world, so we would only be undoing our own damage I guess.

Why not? It might not need to actually hit anyone, just the chance of being hit is probably enough to scare anyone away.

I wouldnt wanna be in a trench or field and suddenly hear gunshots coming from above.

I have not seen one gas station in Germany and surroundings that didnt have it. I have seen truck gas stations that only have diesel though.

We do have some gas stations that just have diesel on a few pumps.

I mean, Ukraine did get a lot of NATO strategy training and the Ukranian military leaders probably also get some access to US spy satelite photos.

But the idea to invade russia and how to execute it was probably still done by Ukranians in Ukraine.

Nice music

We will never live in an ideal world, we can only approach it.

So, yeah, I wasnt referring to reality.

Change it out for a lack of positive perspective for the future and you might even be right.

Thats maybe why the empty promises work to begin with.

This kind of right wing populism has sadly arrived here in Europe as well. Here in Germany we have the AFD which basically does the same thing.

My mother, her boyfriend and my brother have sadly also fallen into the right wing disinformation trap, it really sucks, its like a thought virus.

At least I still have my other half of the family whith which I can still have some political discussions where everyone enjoys doing it and its more about smaller details and how to turn the theory into practice.

I think it is because having sex is such an inimate thing and as a sex worker you have to do it even with people you are not intimate with and at times when you dont want to be intimate. The sheer number of sex partners probably also doesnt help.

And then there are the assholes who will straight up step over boundaries and directly create trauma.

I live in Germany where sex work legal btw (and I think it should be kept that way).

Comparing the risks to other work is hard, as the risks vary from person to person and from workplace to workplace in each job.

But I would consider doing sex work if I would have to work in a callcenter otherwise lol

In an ideal world people who just want casual sex would find each other. And people who want love as well. In an ideal world everyone would also have someone they are an ideal match to.

The only way I see people getting paid to have sex in an ideal world is if they get paid because their sex is so good, like top athletes.

I thought that people with darker skin dont need it that much compared to people with lighter skin, especially people with really white skin that instantly get sunburn?

If you have a (preferably NVIDIA) GPU, you could run one of the many applications that use Stable Diffusion on your PC. I have only used these before:

Fooocus: Really easy to set up, but not really meant to be used with other custom models, has lots of artstyles to choose from.

Automatic1111: Also pretty easy to set up, maybe a little bit harder. You have to download the models from somewhere else, but its much easier to import them and it has lots of options.

Fooocus will probably suffice, just select a fitting art style to get a good look.

RIP sunscreen manufacturers lol

Its funny, Sync (at least on my phone) still shows deleted comments or stuff from banned users, it just shows an icon above the comment, next to the username.

But tbh, I like it that way, because I can now decide if I want to read the comment or not.

Sex work wouldnt exist in an ideal world, as its usually not mentally healthy for the sex worker in the long term.

But since we dont live in an ideal world I would rather legalise it and create laws that protect sex workers instead of criminalising them.

Its the same with all drugs (including cigarettes and alcohol).
