Its cool, I probably honestly lack the intelligence and work ethic. My gpa was what was considered. I have never been a hard worker or smart.

If you can use proper punctuation that officially puts you above average in my book, so I still don't get why you can't learn that.

My GPA was also pretty bad and I just learned 8 languages because I was bored. I am also lazy as fuck.

My point is that your therapist doesn't know how hard it is to make games so you should not listen to him.

What kind of shitty therapist?...

Go find a C# tutorial right now. Your therapist doesn't know the first thing about game development. He's paid to be people's friends, that's his skill level.

Or am I "taking an obvious troll too seriously" again @Mead

Yeah I'm basically writing a test application right now, I'm deploying that Stocktwits user analytics website just for me and my friends, then I'm going to take that idea and turn it into something that will work on a broader scale. (Because it's against stocktwits API TOU to do any analytics, I can't put it on the Android store or anything or I'll get shut down hard)

I'm going to create a BNB smart contract token as well and integrate it into the platform. I only talk about such secret things on our Discord server, though. (Which you're invited to of course) It's an arms race in the crypto development world, normal small devs like me are getting rich left and right, as long as they have a good idea.

Most of the work being done though is just figuring out how to do things. Set up an SQL database, set up a webapi, connect the API to the database, deploy the API... all a big puzzle, but now I only have to figure out how to deploy.

I'm just going to follow this and see if that does it. :)

I did check out Azure, and while Microsoft definitely wants me to use it, I'd rather just host it locally. My friend also wants me to learn AWS so I'd probably use that instead.

I could also probably port all my tools to core (if they aren't already .net core) pretty easily. I think if I deploy anything I'm seriously considering to be a big project, I will probably use AWS or Azure.

So basically I'm designing the pilot to what will become a possible huge money maker for me. When I am done I will modify my project to be a social media platform that pulls some strings to pay its users.

Note that historians do not look at the past laws regarding corruption to determine if something was corruption and instead define something as corruption by the basic meaning of the word.

Of course corruption was often legal.

Example of corruption: Senators not enacting certain legislation because it would make their donors mad.

Credit card companies pushing politicians to not reimburse consumers for fraudulent credit card charges.

100% legal.

I mean they have been aiding and abetting slave labor for decades and I've been paying attention the whole time but ok if you want to believe those things there's nothing I can do about it.

I also know you see nothing wrong with our current system that doesn't account for any kind of corruption, and I don't know what you would consider to be corruption, something that has historically crippled countries and caused uprisings.

The supreme court rules that Nestle and Hershey are allowed to use child slave labor as long as it's being done in another country, Africa, on the same day Juneteenth was made a federal holiday. Black child slavery upheld on Juneteenth.

The only questionable things I'm aware Fauci did were

1 - Telling people masks were ineffective early on (later admitted it was a lie to prevent a mask shortage)
2 - Going on the news to damage control the US's decision to keep vaccines privatized (hugely hated move internationally). He bought into that lie 100%.

Otherwise he took a lot of heat trying to do the right thing while Trump was fighting him for most of the time.

darkknight109 posted...

The reason why medical personnel - Fauci included - originally said that masks were not needed by the general populace is that masks are, generally speaking, fucking useless against viruses.

He admitted it was because of the possibility of a shortage for medical staff though.

IQ tests are for bragging about non-accomplishments. "Look at me I'm better than most people by default". In this case it's "Look at my kid I'm better than most people by default"
