I agree, I’m not saying anyone should be put down for wanting to try something difficult but that they should be told of the odds of success. Maybe encourage them to put their effort into something more achievable. Everyone should be allowed to try of course, no one has good odds for becoming famous/successful but inevitably some people will be

So you assume everyone will instantly get a job and contribute to society? That seems very unlikely

Do you have an example of a good nation?

The tension is caused by not having open borders.

I don’t see how that’s could possibly be the case.

Would you mind explaining how you imagine wealthy countries would fare if we removed all borders tomorrow? How would social security and societal services work with a massive influx of people without any increase in taxes?

If every border opened up and tons of people moved into Europe/USA and other wealthy countries they would inevitably collapse. Trust in the system would erode and it would all devolve into anarchy.

I doubt a lot of people would voluntarily move out of wealthy countries, those that want to already can, so it would be a one way transfer of people.

We already see a lot of tension in regards to migration and opening borders would make it 100 times worse

I wouldnt say its a counter point. A cat on a leash is definitely fine. Its letting the cats roam freely that is the problem

Definitely!

That cats should remain indoors. Pet cats kill approximately 2.4 billion birds in the US alone, not to mention all the other animals that they also kill. I love cats as much as the next guy but keep them indoors for the love of nature

While this is a noble goal, in practice it’ll just lead to the collapse of every modern nation. If we reach some utopian future where resources are no limit then it should work, but I very much doubt it would work right now

Hmm yes I’ll just read about how cool two bullets hitting each other in slowmotion looks. Much better experience than watching it /s

Smashing your local mom-and-pop shop will surely show big businesses that you’re serious /s

Haha, so many butthurt self-righteous people in this thread.

Why are you so toxic? I thought Lemmy was supposed to foster better discussions than Reddit but here you are name-calling and talking down to people.

Please consider treating people better in the future

Maybe take a break dude, no need to be this hostile over some youtube videos

I respect your stance and I agree with the subscription vs ads decision, websites need to make money somehow and I dont want to pay a subscription for everything either. I do run an adblocker but whitelist websites I use often and that dont have intrusive ads. It unfortunately affects websites that I visit quickly and dont come back to, they get a visitor but no advertisements. Its not a perfect solution but ads tend to be very intrusive on random websites.

LG TVs, at least three one I have, have a pretty good operating system. I’ve never seen an ad (yet)

If you need to put others down for no reason to feel good, I feel sorry for you

Perhaps, but you could remove Twitter today and not lose anything of value. There are alternatives for the first two but not for YT

I wouldn’t lump in YT with those other two. YT definitely had problems but it has a lot of great content found no-where else

Expectations have gotten higher. If they were still making 2d top down GTA games I don’t think it’d take very long to make a new one. I also don’t think many people would buy them.

Imagine how much more difficult GTA5 was to create compared to GTA1 or 2, it’s the same for every long lived franchise.

People are spoiled for choice so devs have to entice people with something new, making the “same” game with the same graphics every time is a hard sell in today’s market
