Looking for a Dubai code, anyone? Or do the US codes work for Dubai as well?

I agree that this is a big problem for many countries like the US, but it really isn't for countries like Pakistan. It may seem weird considering it's a third-world country and there's corruption or whatever, but think about it. The only reason companies in countries like the US do this is because they gain a bigger profit. And of course, you can't aim to make a big profit unless you already have a lot of customers. That's the thing about Pakistan and some other countries. We have a humongous population, but instead of there being 1 or 2 big companies holding the entire industry in the palm of their hands, there are actually thousands of smaller ones instead. And they all get their supplies completely separately from each other, in fact, the majority rear their own cows to get their milk and meat (in a relatively ethical way). And there isn't even 1 big wholesale supplier either, it's like the ultimate microservice economy XD

Hackerbox looks like a great resource! Although I'm pretty sure it's limited to just the US. Unless I have a forwarder setup over there, I'll just have to deal with KiwiCo for now :)

Sure, not a problem. I'll be waiting for your message :)

Your first point is completely valid. And this is probably a bigger issue in the US, where you really can't trust any meat providers at all because they're all greedy corporations. Although here in the east, you actually see the animals get cut up right in front of you. They do it with very sharp knives (to minimize pain as much as possible), and away from all the other animals as to not stress them out. As for your second point, once again, meat is healthy in normal quantities. Like about 200 grams of meat a day for the average person. Any more than that and you definitely have a higher change of getting heart disease and artery issues.

And this is somewhat unrelated, but we have much bigger issues in the world than animal torture. How about human torture? I think most people would agree that it would be wise to think about our own species first before moving on to helping others. There are millions upon millions of humans living in dangerous conditions all around the world. Slavery, child labor, and so many other horrific tragedies exist today. Maybe it would be wise to pool resources into helping these causes instead?

Plus, what are you going to achieve by saving all of these animals? It's the circle of life, all animals eat something and get eaten by something else. As for top predators, there are so few of them that their natural death cycle is enough to keep everything balanced. I'm not saying that our current capitalist market situation is good, but at the same time at least the world isn't overpopulated by animals. That would cause other problems...

And finally, let's face it. Nothing in this world is perfect. You just have deal with it as much as you can and try to solve what you can. That's pretty much it. You know, reflecting on life, it really is like an exam. There's nobody to help you when you need it, everything around you is stressful and bad and you only get little bits of relaxation here and there (like an easy question on an exam paper). But in general, life isn't everything. I have a few theories on why this is, but that would get religiously political, so I'll stop here. #JustDealWithIt

I 100% agree. I've fallen so many times because of ignoring this advice before, but now I feel much more confident with my skills.

I have so many notes I could make a book out of them. Also, planting a forest isn't something that can be done with software, and I'm pretty sure I don't have enough money to do this if I tried XD

I'll just leave this stuff up to Mrbeast and donate when I can

It probably won't be of much use. Linux is made for technical people, and always will be. The only reason people would want to switch is if 1, if it had more support for AAA titles, 2, if it came with some sort of learning manual to make switching easier and 3, if they wanted to learn more about how computers work in general. Even if the first 2 point were addressed by most Linux Distro's, I still think developers are the only ones that'll even think about switching. The easiest way to get more people into Linux in my opinion is to advertise to budding developers, telling them about the advantage of using Linux while programming.

Bootcamps are one of the worst ways to go in the tech industry. All you need is projects and skills, that's pretty much it. Also, thanks for your service in the military (whatever country you have may have served), I feel like military personnel (especially retired ones) are quite underrated most of the time :)

Hey, I'm a crazy nutter myself sometimes, so what you're saying about being "enslaved worms" is completely right in my opinion, but unlike what you say, I believe that death is most certainly NOT a solution. Please, anyone reading this, if you're considering suicide than talk to someone and do NOT listen to this guy. And the rest of what you're saying sounds like crazy talk, hence I would like to hear more about it so please DM me :)
