    It never is. It’s the same everywhere too.

    I once read on the Internet if you’re dependant on income you are poor. I think that is a perfect definition, because it removes the rivalry between all, well, slaves.

    By money count I am possibly rich in direct comparison to you. Yet here I am, requiring income for my family and me to survive alone, additionally being bound by long term costs.

    So it’s basically the same for all of us (albeit with different numbers and different conditions) except for a handful who can do what they want.

    If you’re interested in details in my case hit me up by pm.

    Yes, you need to run the service somewhere. But anyone can do so (Foss).

    With discord my experience is limited but I currently understand it’s a service model so you’re dependant on a company, which can pull the same sh*t teamspeak did at any time.

    Not needing any technical knowledge just means someone else is running it, possibly being able to lock you in. And in the case of discord, you already are locked in and have to accept whatever they think up.

    At some point, monetization will take over.

    It seems many don’t remember why there was a ts2 mass extinction. It was because of the horrendous ts3 licensing.

    Why the masses went to yet another closed system like discord I’ll never understand while being very satisfied with mumble/murmur.






  • Fair point.

    My counter is: I don’t think you necessarily do. A historian might have some insight on this.

    I find false hope to be more damaging than not hoping but still trying.

    And as to the why: because there are logical reasons to do so. It’s the right thing. I think we might get into religious understanding here, which is a fascinating thing, you see.

    Don’t do that, don’t give me hope.

    While this seems like a sarcastic comment and quote we’ve been fooled too many times and lured with false hope and illusions of having an impact while being just held as slaves, more or less.

    Edit: feel free to elaborate on down vote. I am just sick and tired of trying my best for the environment and getting my ass handed to me by mega corporations and additionally being blamed, too.
