For the industry to exist, someone has to be using said region’s industry’s cotton. Otherwise the cotton industry would’ve shut down.

Logically it does make sense that some dum dums aside, most foreign brands in the region will avoid this while the local ones will take advantage of this. However, it is also so that a large number of business entities are not known for good logic. However, still, it takes a special level of dum dum to specifically get this industry’s cotton after this had become a big issue as it is (which is to say it is not an issue for everyone, and nothing ever is otherwise it wouldn’t exist, but it is still a substantial problem for those caught). Which means someone from a foreign brand probably signed off on using said industry’s cotton, I believe. Because thinking ability is not particularly a strong trait, however in many cases it is also a critically weak trait. So chances are someone did do such a thing, however incomprehemsible it may feel to people did an at least okay-level sense of logic.

As mentioned, local businesses would feel less worse benefitting from it, but also country’s brands which operate in few specific regions only and not in any of the large parts of the world that would, through political office, state that this referenced industry is a moral issue.

A steam friend gifted me Achron and Takedown:Red Sabre from his steam inventory. I’m thinking of trying them and seeing how they’re designed. Other than that, maybe some Serious Sam Classic 1 or some other old thing.

Sounds like me from years ago.

I turned a bit towards doing civil disobedience. Which is—doing my own thing for myself rather than aiding anyone. To be honest, life was shit when I chose this because everyone around tried to make life shit even more for me. But it just turned out it was because how much they needed me while treating me like the most useless thing ever. And needed things to go back to the way it was, which was make use as well as abuse.

It will be shit but a way out of this seems to just be to ‘no’ anybody. To be genuine and if people are around, let them be. Oddly I do not do friends now, but have more people who are friendly than I could have had when I was in my previous situation.

Try looking for a non-essential job is my suggestion (retail labour is essential for the very people hurting you). Something in the arts was something you were already doing it seems (I saw the digital artist comment) so something which respects you a bit more than posting on those spaces would be fitting. Not quite what depends on the whims of other people. It is not exactly easy, yes, it is very tricky rather… it is easy to make many mistakes. But if you provide what is scarce (you’ll know when you see anyone asking if any such thing or resource exists on the internet anywhere and the answer is no, usually asked by people who do not have access to the more costly things in life), if you provide that while trying to figure out your thing, you’re more likely to get thank you’s rather than abuse. Especially when you provide more value than you ask for in return for it (in current market terms), and remain aware of the situation of the particular market you decide to engage in. Then, depending on your understanding of the situation, you could either continue or adapt your methods in the future.

I can’t say I haven’t felt desperate… but I feel at this moment I’ve already broken up the biggest problems which were persistently around me (in a permanent manner). An important thing to understand is malicious people usually rely on you, yourself, giving them a helping hand in them hurting you, so be aware of where and when you could possibly have been making it easier for them to be horrible to you without noticing it.

The talk coming out, clockwise from top left: Weirdly interesting, terrifying, happy, publicly embarrassing

I looked exactly like this (when I was 16). My surname is exactly this. My life was heading exactly to the point where I would have turned out exactly like this. There was one critical choice I made, despite knowing the consequences. After that my life became hell, but I did not turn out like this. I do not even look anything like this anymore.

At times I’d have a funny thought that what if an alternate version popped up and faced me, who has made the other choice at a moment. How that would turn out to be. What he would think of his own choice, what he could have done different. Maybe he’d go into frenzied denial and attack too (harmlessly). This feels like putting that exact scenario in front of me. It is creeeeepy hahaha. Except he’s a lot older than me, so I’m like the alternate version which has come to haunt him. Tbh I think in such a scenario that guy would be scared. And I’m pretty non-violent, but the sheer difference and possibility itself would scare him. To look so similar as I did, we’d have had to share very similar backgrounds as well up to when I was around 16. It is creepy. There can be such coincidences in the world too that it is almost possible to live out this previously mentioned thought which I had when I was still a fairly naive kid, though already very different from what I would’ve otherwise been🤔 which could get well have been something like this guy🤮 I knew it already, but this person who made such a film is making me say it just for the sake of this itself haha—I chose well.

Hmm fuuuuuuuu… we’re born in the same city as well. Born to Catholic parents who also wanted to send me as an exchange student arrrrgh what is this. Another difference though, I resisted that. My parents are similar to this person actually in belief. What a bullet I dodged haha this is so mood dimming. Even more so that from what I see, I am an exact opposite version of this one now as a consequence of my choice and perseverence—that means I am on the opposite side of any power, absolutely refuse to marry ever due to being repulsed by the concept, there must be other things. Some kids manga or comic may have done some anti-matter version of a person, I feel like such a thing.

This is ridiculous.

The part on the right has persons who look like there’s something really interesting in it. Very interesting sounds coming from it

Letting natural consequence play its part is better than accidentally making things worse. And doing things right the first time, in a skilled and quick manner, is better than letting a mess remain as it is.

Learning to pay attention is just another skill that kids growing up in the world of devices and social media might have to work harder to hone

I’d probably have counter-points if the article didn’t end with this.

And some people pretty much know the way to deal with this problem… but even if they do, I think it all comes down to choice in the end. And a lot of people are simply not going to look into the possibility for learning or even verification.

In any case, maybe the counter points do have a place in this comment after all.

Firstly, not all people have access to these things. Even if it is made in a completely non-malicious way, this comment, those at the lowest levels will always find this difficult to accept.

Secondly, this ‘problem’ is not uniform. Like this issue… as a person in my mid-20s now, in my childhood there were other problems adults were talking about. Frankly the ‘problem’ part is subjective, at least in the way the problems themselves are perceived to be brought about (for example, the causes). But back to the topic, in my childhood I was not a ‘normal’ one. I pretty much made more mature decisions than the average students now that I think back, but what I usually got for it was bullying because I wasn’t doing what everyone else was doing. The teachers too saw this as a normal thing, but it is not surprising now when I later saw the hiring process of said teachers. As an adult now, I can say now that many of those middle aged teachers had rotten personalities. The good ones were fewer. Frankly if this bullying problem were to be looked into, a lot of students wouldn’t feel compelled to go along with these if they didn’t already want to be into it.

Lastly, the education method comes into play. Of course this ties in with the teacher problem. Many teachers do not know how to aid actual learning and encourage it… some don’t even see it as essential… and in my time the ones that did were usually given less essential roles in teaching. A rotten system to the core, I’d say. But that was my situation. The art of learning is not something anyone can possess just because they need a job. Furthermore, just because you can handle the pressure of dealing with students does not mean you are fit to aur learning. You’re meant to be there for their sake, and not the other way around (but this wouldn’t really be practiced in many parts of the world where education is just seen as an institution to control, and do an ‘adequate’ job to get done with a person’s phase of life before they move on to the next step…).

Overall, I’m guessing students who really would like to learn are being actively hindered from doing so due to these things. Coupled with stressful factors at home (it is unfortunate that not every person who has children is a model human who cares about their children—even in many cases where they are provided for in necessities) and away, a desire to ‘escape’ is not uncommon. I mean… I think I’ve seen more adults than children who have these tendencies to escape from their problems. If many pressuring factors so decide that younger students in these particular situations are pushed along these particular things… I say it takes a resilience more than what many adults are incapable of, expected in a child, to do something as fundamental to building your focus and concentration as learning to do things better, and learning about how things really function right from the basic elements.

Instead, the focus here seems to be in part put on what the nature of the escape should be. As a student, I chose the popular escape at the time—free mobile games. But that was only after I was past more than half of my schooling, after which the quality of actual learning dipped heavily in favour of just going along with what you’re told about how the world works and getting grades for it. Thankfully a few were not like this. In any case, by the time my learning autonomy was snatched back… I also started exploring works which required more concentration of my own accord. Not everyone will choose this but those who will have the mindset to choose their own way will come across eventually life-helping decisions in the end.

It takes all sorts of horrible actions from all sorts of horrible people in many parts of the world, and the place itself, for these things to become possible. The guns they possess, the technical tools for population registration they have…

I have a question. Many humans are vulnerable in non-fetal form and this group in particular loves to exploit them, wouldn’t it be more beneficial to first take care of that little problem?

It seems common sense that some abortions at least take place because people are not able to protect their kids from this group in particular (edit: and I do not specifically mean this in a sexual abuse way, though this group has had frequent accusations, likes to accuse others themselves, and has a tendency to accuse others of what they specifically do and are, embarrassedly at least to have it publicly admitted, aware of at some level… but I meant other ways like primarily hogging up property and putting others not from the group in desperate positions, benefitting from cheap exploitative and distressed technical and physical labour support). So it is like this group is simply pushing the blame on others despite being one of the many sides responsible.

It seems very obvious. It also seems very obvious any answer is given will be a non-answer.

Admins here? This breaks the (complete version) be(e) nice rule in many ways. Specifically being scientific/knowledgeable sounding when trying to generally be harmful towards others, and in calling anyone who didn’t agree with this ‘pagan’ in advance.

(Edited, because I felt the rest of the initial comment was unnecessary)

I take inspiration from no gods and follow and practice none of their virtues due to their attribute specifically (practice some due to coincidence only).

And I also say this article is poop.

Seems to me like they do not know how to make a good oven.

It is an odd choice to argue over such a thing. No one was harmed in the making of the first comment. Or the second. If anything, that person is being completely reasonable instead of demanding what others should do.

They could send a bill for physical damages and other losses. If ignored, they could levy other… penalties.

Details. I like it. Verifiable details.

And I dare say, accurate too.

Another thing I remembered, it so happens. The origin of ‘minion’. It is derived from ‘mignon’ which meant darling, but was started to be used in a derogatory way by people who wanted to offend a particular group or something else. The new meaning of the word was born.

In this case I’m an unfortunate person who called my loved one ‘mignon’ without knowing what this new thing was, that such a thing ever happened.

I still feel it would be better to ask next time. I hope you see now I was innocent of such… doings.

I personally found the “the fuck” to be an aggressive, offended tone but that could be a misunderstanding on my part. From what I’m used to, I’ve personally seen that phrase used by people who are against something, intensely, in particular.

As for what you have referenced, it so happens that I have seen no such person saying any such thing. I was referencing no such thing.

…do some people really believe everything is controlled by a small exclusive group? Interesting. Lol that I can disagree with wholly. I hope this clarifies the earlier matter.

I certainly do not believe this as well🤦

Edit: I do not know if this person you replied to specifically believes this in particular as well, and I’ll leave it up to that person to clarify. Have fun.

What is this take… that was not my take at all. The intention was misunderstood, there was a misunderstanding of the language used. Primarily, it was a joke. I certainly do not believe there is a “the powerful” side.

You could have asked🤷

I do not know what you assumed… but I am confused because I have no concept to what you have referenced. Is there anything in particular which was offensive here? Do elaborate. I can say however that I do not know what it is, and I certainly did not mean what you believed I meant (because I do not believe there is one “the powerful” side). Unless, of course, you object to the use of all general terms. Like ‘the royalty’. ‘The general public’ in any general sense. ‘The people’, again, in any general sense.

I get a feeling that I have offended some political thing I have no idea about. When I have no such relation to any such thing, if it is really so.
