A pot calls a kettle black.

For many, danger is their thing.

Yes. The best platform to demo your prototype to billions of users is something special called the Web. You might not have heard of it, but it's thus thing that's been around for decades. In order to access the Web, you will need internet access. If you have any difficulty with the instructions, post your replies in this thread.

And in case you run into the odd person who is not sensible?

No, this person seems too desperate and manipulative to respect their parents.

Manipulation could work although it might make you feel guilty about it later. Let's say your parent gives you some of their money they earn from their new tech job, which they got by updating their skills. Because of your guilt, instead of using that money to invest in yourself, you'll spend it on some reckless activity.

Yes, many people use dogs to ease their loneliness.

Gamblers anonymous now accepts people addicted to gaming.

"If they have a choice". You talk about the situation like you're a slave to your master. It's 2022 -- labour laws exist.

The best way to validate a idea is by doing it. So just do it. People should be shipping prototypes every 2-3 weeks. It shouldn't take you that long. Even if you're slow, you're shipping at latest in a month.

If they have leverage on you, then in effect, you have about as much access to labour rights protections as a slave does.

Just make sure you put yourself in really risky, dangerous, and stupid situations involving your own code. You'll either learn quickly or destroy yourself in the process.

Whatever you're going through, it's a good idea to do it on an international scale. That should reduce risk. You go, girl!

A traveling geek is an oxymoron. Geeks live in caves harassing the world from the safety of their own home. Well, it's safe until the consequences of their actions come knocking on the door. I guess at least you feel like you can outrun your problems while you're flying.

I find communication to be more of a symptom than a root cause. You can try and act like you're not demeaning, not hurtful, and a good listener. Thus would just be an act, and sooner or later, the truth will come out.

Hopefully, what's out there is smarter than what's here.

This group was always prone to violence. Raising this to anyone might just explode the level of violence tenfold.

Aggression happens in clusters. Let's say you, your boss,xand your coworkers can be considered a group. Sexual assault is not the only thing you should expect. Abusive arguments, physical fights, backstabbing, and possibly even manslaughter. I mean literal manslaughter, as in someone dies and law enforcement is involved. What can you do? Pretty much nothing.

See you at the bottom of the lake, then.

Screw your courage to the sticking place. Or can you?

Well, why are you hitting yourself?

I know a guy, great guy, best guy I ever met. He could nuke wikiless.org better than anybody. And let me tell you something, when I heard that there was a nuking, I said to myself, "I will be phenomenal to the wikis. I mean, I want to help wikis". Mark my words.

How condescending. A great quality when giving advice on how to hire and trust people.

Character is destiny.

Yes, but why are you hitting yourself?

You ever wonder if some people think they have a way with words; instead, these same people are nearly illiterate?

Let them learn the hard way.

You could scrape and dissect the world, but that would just amplify existing conditions such as paranoid-schizophrenia. Does this empower people to live life well, or does it enable people's self-destructive patterns? Like a race to the bottom of the barrel, I guess. At least you're failing fast and failing often.

No. We are doomed.

Too late. You already put all your existing eggs, as well as future eggs that you've promised to others, in this basket. You're net negative eggs now, brother.
