It is not, as government agencies are not for profit profit organisations de iure. On top of that it’s violating law, and debfacto stealing from both the citizen and potentially from the state itself. You can’t just throw ‘capitalism bad’ on any observation of shitty socio-economic behaviour.

That’s not business, that’s corruption. They’re not generating any added value like business does, they’re parasiting on it.

About Maps, same here. Even looked into paid alternatives, and… There’s not really much of value. I’m disappointed.

There was never really a single game. First game: Grand Prix on Atari 2600 Then The Settlers, Desert Strike, Another World and Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 on Amiga. Age of Empires 2, GTA, Stronghold, SHOGO, Morrowind, BG2 on PC After these titles I can try just about anything. That made me consider really wide variety of genres, styles and publishing formats (from indie to AAA).

My family lost everything in a flood when I was 8. My parents lower working class. I left home/moved 1st time at 18. I had nothing to inherit and nothing to lose. The ticket was 3$. While textbooks were not free, attending school was. I accept excuses from people that got caught in a natural disaster or a war only.

I moved 4 times, over 1k kilometers total for work, while all my peers where sitting on their asses and crying that there’s no future in the shithole we were born in. I do not have sympathy for such people. So answering your question: first: I don’t care. If you have two hands there’s nothing justifying you. Second: If you brake the law, you face the consequences.

Can’t imagine working without PyCharm Pro. Some may say I’m a shitty dev, but it just makes thing so much easier for a lone developer.

I’m ok with paying taxes for universal healthcare and infrastructure. Welfare for anyone who isn’t mentally/phisically disabled (on various levels) can go to hell. No unemployment benefits, no state-funded child support.

Seep paralisys is helluva thing. I’ve experienced lots of freaky stuff with it. Some of these include early 1900s looking shadowy figures walking through my room as if it would be a train station. Or a huge, black creature with very long claws (kinda like slender version of fallout’s Deathclaw) standing over me not letting me sleep (interestingly, I could see through both mine and its eyes. My first TPP experience) or just shadow black figures standing there at the end of my bed.

FTL. Theme song triggers ptsd in my wife.
