You do something called raycasting to determine visibility beforehand, and don’t render anything not visible.

Mind elaborating a bit more?

Some way of globally capturing hotkeys, for things like starting stream, media hotkeys, etc. Only passing key events to the foreground window is shortsighted, but we need a secure way of doing this.

Except the mortgage payment ends after 30 years, and what you pay into the house is yours afterwards. Sure, the insurance and other taxes continue - but once the house is paid off, it’s done. I paid my mortgage off in 5 years by dumping every last dime I had into it and living off of nothing but scraps.

The stock market is rigged too – I’ve seen multiple instances where hedgies are using algorithms to do their stock trading, only to get something wrong, and we end up… REVERSING THE TRADES FOR THEM!!!

Algo-traders, should be permanently locked into their trades. Make a mistake – oh…fucking…well.

Landlords aren’t profiting off of scarcity. They’re profiting off of having the means to do something that renters won’t: Buy a house with a 30yr mortgage, and leverage that money for something useful.

You too can buy a house. But everyone who shits on landlords, always spits out excuses why buying a house isn’t “feasible” or would “lock them down too much”, etc etc.

If you can buy 30k worth of tractor equipment, you can run it and make the money back you spent on it. That’s all landlords are doing - they’re buying when you won’t (not can’t…won’t) and then selling it back to you in trade for your “economic freedom” to move every 1-2 years and bitch about it.

Then we have the whole “fuckcars” movement, who wants everyone crammed into a shared-wall sardine can and nobody to own a house of their own ever; for the sake of population density so they can bike everywhere.

Lemmy is filled with a lot of extremists. Nuanced thinking is in short supply here.

Take a look at the game Nightingale. You can use cards to combine “Forest, Desert, and Swamp” - with other attributes like “Blood Moon”, “Fae Wilds”, “Industrial” (makes the map foggy, gets boosts to crafting), “Quarry”, etc.; unless of course your scope is only mars.

I hate the idea that most people have on lemmy that every interaction has to be a positive experience and full of sunshine and rainbows and butterflies. I like to argue.

But whatever. It’s iight. I stuck around.

You mean the one that was just recently…taken down?

Yeah, didn’t last as long as I’d hoped it would.

My wife has driven both her Hyundai Accent (2012), and her Kia Forte (2011) for 300k miles. Technically I think they’re the exact same car. Transmissions have never given us a problem, but we change the fluid in them religiously at 50k miles; and oil every 10k.

Occasionally we’ll have to change a battery, alternator, or coil-pack, but other than that they’ve been great.

That’s enforcement, those police officers don’t need to exist for you not to kill someone…

Or do they?

Housing isn’t free. Not killing someone is.

It’s called philosophy. You should try it sometime. Understanding the worlds truths at a deeper level allows you to more precisely consolidate them into a unified opinion of things. Helps to be concise and rigorously authentic to their principles.

Wells are essentially free. They used to dig them by hand…you still can, in fact. They’re one of the most commonly used pre-technological age way of getting water with the exception of simply living next to a freshwater source.

You don’t need metal, you don’t need electrical, you don’t need pumps, you don’t need anything except some rocks, clay, and something to dredge water up with.

It’s wonderful how in most places on this earth you can simply…dig…and get water.

I’d call that about as free as something could ever be achieved, gets.

do you get the majority of your clean water via collecting rain?

Yes, I do. It’s called a well. Millions of people do the same. You can drill a well almost anywhere, and drink clean rain water. There are some exceptions of course, but as I stated before – “the right to clean water” – has more to do with keeping large corporations, etc from polluting those water sources than it does physically attaining water.

Do you think it’s a viable source for folks living in dense metropolitan areas?

No, but that’s their choice to live there. That’s the same reason why it’s illegal to fish in dense populated areas.

Healthcare is not a human right. It’s a societal right granted to you by those around you.

A human right is anything a human should have the right to.

In that case, you have no rights at all. Not even to speech, or the right not to be killed. “Rights” are invented by the society we live in. You have literally none in the natural world. As it exists, “Rights” are a religious idea. (Hence, “God-given rights”)

The practicalities are of the utmost concern, because those practicalities are governed by the society which recognizes them as rights. As of now, there is no “human right to shelter”.

Absolutely it is. Because our “rights” are just invented bullshit brought about by the society we’ve created. You don’t have the right for me not to murder you in the lawless nothingness of nature. Therefore, if it’s difficult as a society to supply it – we can, AND DO, reject things as human rights.

As it is, clean water is not a human right. Housing is not a human right. You WANT it to be, but your feelings here obviously don’t have a speck of reality within them.
