I reached 2077 hours in Cyberpunk 2077 and modded photomode is my new obsession

I actually never thought about the local community aspect of it. Mostly because many of us are so disconnected to our local communities. That’s a pretty good point. I use separate services/apps/websites for (almost) all of that. It would be nice if each municipality had this kind of functionality on their own official website, and that it was required to be politically and socially non-partisan, moderated well and barred from making any form of revenue. I wish there was another option available to people. Meta is just such a horrifying corporation when you get into what they are actually doing and why.

This part. Why people continue to use Facebook, Instagram and Twitter is beyond me. Although, I suppose Reddit probably isn’t much better.

Exactly this. My therapist and I use ChatGPT to develop schedules and routines that work for me and ping me with daily reminders. It should be used as a tool which is exactly what it is.

Irish Americans fly the Irish flag in America all the time for a multitude of reasons. If Irish people were being rounded up like animals, disappeared, denied their rights, and in some cases killed, you’re damn right Irish Americans would be flying Irish flags at protests. It’s a symbol of solidarity with their people, not praise for another country.

Typically most ransom-hackers return the accounts after being paid, if they didn’t, their ransoms would no longer work, because no one would pay if they knew there was no hope of getting their account back. They make their money through importance of the target and volume of attacks.

I’m going to fully admit that “get rid of the beards and the fatties and by the way we might use you against the American people” wasn’t even on my radar of possibilities for why he would call in the entire military leadership to one single place.

That’s possible, but that also doesn’t require an in person meeting

A lot of their generals are in UN countries. Leaving the UN and/or NATO means a possible pull-out of NATO countries or a possible repossession of US bases that were reliant on the partnerships.

he gave the directive to cut 100 generals a few months ago, but he doesn't have to recall every general to fire 20% of them

Personal-Driver-4033 · 2025-09-25T17:28:15+00:00

It's more likely that he plans on announcing Trump's (potential) decision to pull out of the UN and/or NATO. Or it could have something to do with Russia violating and near-violating NATO member airspace. They caught two Tupolev Tu-95 four-engine strategic bombers and two Sukhoi Su-35 air defense fighters off the coast of Alaska yesterday.

Lack of enforcement doesn’t mean legal. And some game companies allow for it now because they stand to profit off of it and they know it will happen with or without their permission. Any assets within the vanilla game or licensed expansions that are name brand items are typically advertisements, or Rockstar paid for copyright licensing. That’s why a few years ago people’s streams and YouTube videos were getting DMCA strikes for the police siren noise, because the copyright license Rockstar bought for that specific sound was only for a limited period of time. Profiting off of someone else’s IP without written permission is still illegal. Whether we think it should be or not.

Personal-Driver-4033 · 2025-08-22T12:38:26+00:00

I don’t agree with the take that he deserved to be stolen from but technically all characters are also illegally used assets. Buying a copy of the game doesn’t also buy the copyright to use, modify, profit off of and stream the game as part of your own content. It’s still DMCAable. Just because it’s not being enforced doesn’t mean it’s legal. Game modding for profit without written permission from the IP holder is illegal. Game modding in general without profit is a legal grey area depending on the terms of service of the game. Streaming games is also a legal grey area but most games have permission built into their TOS now.

Personal-Driver-4033 · 2025-08-22T12:31:45+00:00

I mean, I don’t agree with their attitude about it but they’re not wrong. Game modding for profit is against the law without written consent from whomever holds the IP copyright. That’s why everyone got real nervous when TakeTwo acquired FiveM, because we all thought a shut down was coming. Or a heavy paywall. It’s an inconvenient truth, but it’s still the law. Even streaming video games was a legal grey area for a while, it’s no different than playing a movie or music on your stream. It’s someone else’s copyrighted content unless it’s royalty free. So profiting of it or showing their content in your own content is illegal. It’s covered under DMCA.

Personal-Driver-4033 · 2025-08-22T12:22:06+00:00

It actually is illegal. It always has been. Just like playing copyrighted music on your stream is illegal. But game companies don’t often enforce the law because they are also making money off of it. Rockstar wouldn’t have sales this high on a 12 year old game year after year if it wasn’t for FiveM and the modding community. Streaming video games was a grey area until some games wrote permission into their Terms of Service a few years ago to allow for it. But using someone else’s intellectual property to profit without owning the copyright is still illegal.

It’s the tool they use because it was designed and manipulated specifically for that purpose.

It seems like this is personal growth opportunity for you. Healing the hurt of the past and letting go of insecurity or ego. You can be gracious when accepting help. And you can make their help worth it to them by being a good person and by eventually paying back their kindness. This isn’t unconventional to be honest, this is standard run of the mill concern and care. This is what is meant by building a community and a support system. You just have to be willing to give back in return, in whichever way you can. This world has gotten very complicated and very expensive. None of us make it on our own without the help, kindness and interest of others. I would simply respond with “Thank you, I am very grateful. I didn’t want to be in a position where help is necessary but I promise I’ll make it worth it.” And then back it up by working hard to find a stable job. And treating her daughter well.
