Cleatus now lives with you
  • Exactly this, it's basically GTA5 private servers with fully customised game mechanics and strict rules around conduct where you're playing a character in a realistic setting, like an actor of sorts. It's big money for the people who run these servers too, especially NoPixel which is the most popular streamer server and difficult to get whitelisted on.

    Rule breaks, for example not fearing for your life and acting appropriately when in a dangerous situation are potentially risking a ban. There is a full set of laws and police, judges, lawyers and a whole court and prison system modded into to deal with criminals with players roleplaying all of these roles. There's a hospital, ambulances, doctors and you have to get someone else to call 911 to have a paramedic drive out and rescue you if you die.

    It's honestly impressive how much and well modders have modded GTA5 over the years. If you wanna try it yourself download the FiveM client and there are hundreds of servers you can join and play on.

    Be warned though, just like older games with private servers (like old Battlefield/CS ect games) you are ultimately at the mercy of whoever the admins who run them are and sometimes these can be interesting individuals. Rockstar recently bought out the FiveM platform but they have no real control over what these private individuals do short of banning the whole server from the platform which rarely happens.

  • Having Autism and feeling like I'm a complete loser
  • Most people have to try really hard it fit into the world, even those who don't have Autism. What you see especially online is their highlight reel, what they don't show you is all the stress and effort it takes them to fit in and keep up with everybody else.

    The good part is that once you're aware of the above it's easier to just do your own thing instead of trying to fit whatever you perceive as supposedly normal.

  • I banned my kid from Roblox.... what next?
  • That kid is now known as the kid who got Roblox banned among their group of friends, not a nice thing to known for. This will be seen as a punishment by them regardless of how you frame it especially once the other kids at their school become aware of it.

    Ouch. Good luck navigating this one as your kids get older.

  • You should
  • Seems inefficient, one should just integrate ChatGPT into Bash to automatically check these things.

    You said 'ls' but did you really mean 'ls -la'? Imma go ahead and just give you the output from 'cat /dev/urandom' anyway.

  • What companies have made your blacklist?
  • Several local (but national chain brand) furniture stores.

    So many reasons. One had better quality furniture on display than what they sold by a long way. Another tried to give me not one but two firm mattresses instead of medium and lie to me about them. Yet another got caught out blatantly lieing to my face about delivery times and procedures.

    All of them had great customer service right until the point that they had our money and then completely treated us like garbage afterwards.

  • They aren't, and I'm sick of being told they are
  • Exactly what's about to happen to employment services in Australia too. They spend more money chasing a hand full of people who don't want to work than just continuing to pay them the pittance they exist on and have people apply to be the CEO of huge corporations who dropped out of high school in order to make their quotas. Government just announced an inquiry with the aim to reinstate control over it.

  • They aren't, and I'm sick of being told they are
  • Australia is a live example of the fact that they're not. The state and federal governments have privatised a crap load of services and all they do is continue to hike our bills while providing less and less service. Electricity, water supply, employment services and more are now an absolute joke here.

  • Be honest: if you had the power to stop time, your morals would go out the window.
  • If you had super powers you probably wouldn't have to steal anything or commit crimes to be rich. You'd just make money the same way people like the Kardashians do or worst case sign up to some sporting team and absolutely trounce everybody else then sign endorsements.

  • Cause it isn't
  • If you're that qualified you should look at immigration as an option. Where I live, the base salary is $78k for a bachelor degree qualified teacher and goes up to $140k if you take on head of department roles. If you don't it caps out at a few grand less. We're currently in a teacher shortage too.

    Be warned though, this is in Australia so the cost of living does suck a bit. You still are probably not affording buying a house on this.

  • Gotta burn em out I guess

    Posts to videos on Imgur just show up as weird sweaty soccer balls in the app, rather than showing a preview of the video itself.
