My ex has been ranting to people about how I’m such a slut, while at the same time pestering me about him coming to Switzerland to see me and getting back together. I don’t get this mindset.
Managing knowledge and feelings that can't be shared
Managing knowledge and feelings that can't be shared - Lemmy.World
If you are unable to share certain thoughts or feelings with any other human in any meaningful way, how can a person manage this in a healthy way? Both psychologically sound and proven methods as well as personal anecdotes are welcome. Please assume sharing is non-negotiable which precludes close friends, family, and/or professionals.
What's the point on buying from small business/indie dev. if they might become big and greed eventually?
What's the point on buying from small business/indie dev. if they might become big and greed eventually? - Lemmy.World
I’m using “business” here as a general word, you can think of it for any field: physical stores, indie developers, startups, etc… How many times did this happen before? Every big company was once a small one. Google used to be the good guys at the beginning. We’re currently seeing the old praised Proton starts its small pseudo-monopoly business in the privacy focused services field. You might think you’re helping the world by putting your money in the “morally correct” place, but at the end you might be just helping a new greedy company to arise. I had this thought after seeing the page of a indie game on Steam, it’s been a few months I’m pirating everything related to digital media, but then I saw this game from a indie developer that I wish listed in 2023, it got launched oct., 2025. As I decided to pirate everything I had a second thought on this one, “maybe I should pay for this one, it’s a good cause, this guy put some effort on it, why not?!”, the game currently has 802 reviews, which isn’t bad for a indie game. But then WHAT IF? What if the game becomes popular? What if people start demanding more and buying a lot? What if the developer decide to start a small company to attend the people demand? And what if this company become the new average modern company adding paywalls, DLCs, cosmetics? What if they start abusing AI use to “boost productivity” and ship faster? What have I done with my money? Now I face this moral dilemma, should I pay for it or just pirate it like I usually do?

Can justice still be delivered if the crime happened outside one's jurisdiction from this specific scenario? - Lemmy.World
The scenario is this: the victim’s family found out their loved one has been murdered in another country as the victim is a frequent full time traveler (remote / freelance) working on behalf of an agency or hosting a YouTube channel whilst they were on vacation. There is an issue, the country where the victim was murdered has a high rate of corruption politically speaking (organ trafficking, assassination, human trafficking, sex trade, etc.) so only speculation as to how the victim was killed can be from any of those factors. If referencing from one of those factors (only theories): - The victim caught something their government hates showing on camera, so they hired a hitman to assassinate the victim. - The victim was drugged at the bar by somebody, end up in a organ trafficking ring which resulted in the victim’s death. - The victim was deceived by someone whom they deem friendly but coerced into prositution, then perhaps a pimp killed them. - The victim may’ve been abducted to be used as a slave part of a human trafficking operation, then killed for disobedience. People or onlookers will victim blame in the sense of “TRAVEL ADVISORIES EXIST FOR A REASON, DUH!” basically accusing the victim of traveling in an “unstable region” of the world, but that kind of banter won’t help anyone nor will it calm down the grieving family. Of course, the FBI or equivalent can’t investigate it themselves since the crime occurred outside their borders (usually interpol is a intermediary when dealing with international cases) and depends on the country in question, achieving justice is difficult. The only form of “harm prevention” in this case lies closer to a full travel restriction or outright ban issued by a country’s government, advising their nationals against traveling to certain parts of the world due to unrest, crime, war, political instability or terrorism. However, it solely lies on the individual themselves whether they will adhere to that advice or disregard their word. They are saying that in the sense of it not happening to another person, as these types of cases are a headache to deal with for those involved. They often lead to a dead end. Yes, cases like that happen: for example, there was a Russian woman who was murdered in the UAE (her body was found in the desert), she was an escort for wealthy clientele (whether they were involved is unclear).
