Because both the Palestinian communities and anti-DEI communities have legitimate core messages, and both have members that spread hate.

If you’re willing to let any community get taken down despite them breaking no rules or laws, accept that it also can happen to the communities you support. It is as simple as that.

Where did you go for it to be associated with terrible people? It is one of the most used twitch emojis.

Pepe the frog and swastikas are the most common extremist symbols found on Steam, according to the report, respectively representing 54.6% and 9.1% of detected symbols.

So more than half of the “extremist” symbols are a meme that a tiny fraction of conspiracy theorists think is a dogwhistle for racism.

Game mods are also touched on in the report, which claims to have found hundreds of mods for games, most notably Garry’s Mod, “that specifically reference mass shootings.”

Who even thinks this is a big deal? This screams boomers being upset about violent video games all over again.

Are you sure they’re not just pissy about the DEI Detected community and want to force steam to shut it down?

Roger that!

Windows defender is not supposed to protect you from user mistakes. It protects you from viruses like ransomware, or spyware like google chrome.

It is a nice concept in theory. It has a bit of resemblance to the metaverse minus monetary enshittification, but there are some challenges to this.

It would for example end up just as dead if the other players got bored of it and stopped playing. Then there is server costs for something where there really isn’t that much realtime interaction in, and all these metagames would need to be just as fun with a global time at a set flow, or be OK with synching only at the end of the day.

These of course aren’t impossible challenges.

You could leave the “online” part to a simple global api backend and skip the gameserver itself to greatly reduce costs. You wouldn’t see the other players in person but you’d see their shops grow each new day, and there could be an NPC of their owner walking around.

You could bankrupt inactive players and give their lands to new players, and implement import/export costs for distant shops incentivizing local trade. You’d probably still want normal NPCs, but their interactions would have to be predetermined each day if you don’t have a game server running all day, and want to prevent cheating.

The implementation difficulty and cost greatly varies depending on how much interaction and fairness you want, but setting up an API server is fairly easy if you don’t worry about scaling in case the game really takes off.

Who?

Facing worlds.

I still listen to the unreal and unreal tournament soundtracks to this day.

It is not. Why would you need to track your almost-teen 24/7? It wouldn’t be child neglect even if the kid was 6. They’re more than old enough to go on spontaneous exploring.

Host it on the tor network.

Host it on web 3.0.

Host it outside the US.

Host it over torrents and i2p.

Isn’t that how America does taxes in everything else?

Are tariffs applied when a company produces something in one country and transports them to their own company in another country? I thought they only applied to sales.

Don’t video game consoles all have offices in the US? Why would the US apply tariffs on companies residing in and paying tax the US?

Hello mixed in vinegar.

As long as you can get a work visa with that job, you’re good to go. At the very least you probably can get a similar remote job by a japanese company and get the visa.

There will be a gift tax on the house, and land tax, but where you’re trying to go, the land tax will be very low, and the free house will be valued at 0 and therefore have 0 property tax. Houses don’t appreciate in value in Japan, so you’ll never have to pay property tax on that house even if you fix it up, and as long as you don’t tear it down, the land tax will also stay low.

If you’re fine with there also being few things to actually do, you can essentially throw a dart on the map and pick the closes village to where it lands, and chances are it’ll have a population of less than 1000 people, and if you’re OK being stuck there for 10 years you can join the house givaway program to get some old house. You’ll have to find a job and maybe do so maintenance on the house, but other than that, you’ll get a free house in the middle of nowhere.

Helvete!*

*It means hello in Swedish.

Even cities near Tokyo are at most a few hours train-rides away from Paradise. In Chiba you have onjuku (A large beach with desert dunes), in kanagawa you have Enoshima. (Beach, and an island with caves and shrines). In gunma you have Kusatsu. (winter hotspring wonderland on top of a mountain chain)

The easiest way is probably if you’re a software engineer or have some kind of bachelor’s /master’s / doctorate’s degree. In that case you can head over right now and start looking for a job. You can stay for 3 months without a visa. Meanwhile you search for jobs related to your field. There are English speaking jobs here in software engineering.

Or You could always spend those 3 months dating women and look for a spouse.

These two are the cheapest options, but if you have a bachelor’s or master’s degree, you can also upgrade it to doctor’s degree at a japanese university. If your grades were decent (they don’t have to be excellent), you can apply for scholarships. You also have student loans. university is much cheaper than the ones in the US and should be fairly easy to pay off.

The most expensive way is probably language school, but those are also cheaper than US universities.
