For the industry to exist, someone has to be using said region's industry's cotton. Otherwise the cotton industry would've shut down.

Logically it does make sense that some dum dums aside, most foreign brands in the region will avoid this while the local ones will take advantage of this. However, it is also so that a large number of business entities are not known for good logic. However, still, it takes a special level of dum dum to specifically get this industry's cotton after this had become a big issue as it is (which is to say it is not an issue for everyone, and nothing ever is otherwise it wouldn't exist, but it is still a substantial problem for those caught). Which means someone from a foreign brand probably signed off on using said industry's cotton, I believe. Because thinking ability is not particularly a strong trait, however in many cases it is also a critically weak trait. So chances are someone did do such a thing, however incomprehemsible it may feel to people did an at least okay-level sense of logic.

As mentioned, local businesses would feel less worse benefitting from it, but also country's brands which operate in few specific regions only and not in any of the large parts of the world that would, through political office, state that this referenced industry is a moral issue.

A steam friend gifted me Achron and Takedown:Red Sabre from his steam inventory. I'm thinking of trying them and seeing how they're designed. Other than that, maybe some Serious Sam Classic 1 or some other old thing.

Sounds like me from years ago.

I turned a bit towards doing civil disobedience. Which is—doing my own thing for myself rather than aiding anyone. To be honest, life was shit when I chose this because everyone around tried to make life shit even more for me. But it just turned out it was because how much they needed me while treating me like the most useless thing ever. And needed things to go back to the way it was, which was make use as well as abuse.

It will be shit but a way out of this seems to just be to 'no' anybody. To be genuine and if people are around, let them be. Oddly I do not do friends now, but have more people who are friendly than I could have had when I was in my previous situation.

Try looking for a non-essential job is my suggestion (retail labour is essential for the very people hurting you). Something in the arts was something you were already doing it seems (I saw the digital artist comment) so something which respects you a bit more than posting on those spaces would be fitting. Not quite what depends on the whims of other people. It is not exactly easy, yes, it is very tricky rather… it is easy to make many mistakes. But if you provide what is scarce (you'll know when you see anyone asking if any such thing or resource exists on the internet anywhere and the answer is no, usually asked by people who do not have access to the more costly things in life), if you provide that while trying to figure out your thing, you're more likely to get thank you's rather than abuse. Especially when you provide more value than you ask for in return for it (in current market terms), and remain aware of the situation of the particular market you decide to engage in. Then, depending on your understanding of the situation, you could either continue or adapt your methods in the future.

I can't say I haven't felt desperate… but I feel at this moment I've already broken up the biggest problems which were persistently around me (in a permanent manner). An important thing to understand is malicious people usually rely on you, yourself, giving them a helping hand in them hurting you, so be aware of where and when you could possibly have been making it easier for them to be horrible to you without noticing it.

Probably. I still wouldn't go change my mind if anyone asked whether I did, however.

I looked exactly like this (when I was 16). My surname is exactly this. My life was heading exactly to the point where I would have turned out exactly like this. There was one critical choice I made, despite knowing the consequences. After that my life became hell, but I did not turn out like this. I do not even look anything like this anymore.

At times I'd have a funny thought that what if an alternate version popped up and faced me, who has made the other choice at a moment. How that would turn out to be. What he would think of his own choice, what he could have done different. Maybe he'd go into frenzied denial and attack too (harmlessly). This feels like putting that exact scenario in front of me. It is creeeeepy hahaha. Except he's a lot older than me, so I'm like the alternate version which has come to haunt him. Tbh I think in such a scenario that guy would be scared. And I'm pretty non-violent, but the sheer difference and possibility itself would scare him. To look so similar as I did, we'd have had to share very similar backgrounds as well up to when I was around 16. It is creepy. There can be such coincidences in the world too that it is almost possible to live out this previously mentioned thought which I had when I was still a fairly naive kid, though already very different from what I would've otherwise been🤔 which could get well have been something like this guy🤮 I knew it already, but this person who made such a film is making me say it just for the sake of this itself haha—I chose well.

Hmm fuuuuuuuu… we're born in the same city as well. Born to Catholic parents who also wanted to send me as an exchange student arrrrgh what is this. Another difference though, I resisted that. My parents are similar to this person actually in belief. What a bullet I dodged haha this is so mood dimming. Even more so that from what I see, I am an exact opposite version of this one now as a consequence of my choice and perseverence—that means I am on the opposite side of any power, absolutely refuse to marry ever due to being repulsed by the concept, there must be other things. Some kids manga or comic may have done some anti-matter version of a person, I feel like such a thing.

This is ridiculous.

The part on the right has persons who look like there's something really interesting in it. Very interesting sounds coming from it

Ehehe this kid has already surpassed so many adults in having a strong mind

Letting natural consequence play its part is better than accidentally making things worse. And doing things right the first time, in a skilled and quick manner, is better than letting a mess remain as it is.

It takes all sorts of horrible actions from all sorts of horrible people in many parts of the world, and the place itself, for these things to become possible. The guns they possess, the technical tools for population registration they have…

I have a question. Many humans are vulnerable in non-fetal form and this group in particular loves to exploit them, wouldn't it be more beneficial to first take care of that little problem?

It seems common sense that some abortions at least take place because people are not able to protect their kids from this group in particular (edit: and I do not specifically mean this in a sexual abuse way, though this group has had frequent accusations, likes to accuse others themselves, and has a tendency to accuse others of what they specifically do and are, embarrassedly at least to have it publicly admitted, aware of at some level… but I meant other ways like primarily hogging up property and putting others not from the group in desperate positions, benefitting from cheap exploitative and distressed technical and physical labour support). So it is like this group is simply pushing the blame on others despite being one of the many sides responsible.

It seems very obvious. It also seems very obvious any answer is given will be a non-answer.

Admins here? This breaks the (complete version) be(e) nice rule in many ways. Specifically being scientific/knowledgeable sounding when trying to generally be harmful towards others, and in calling anyone who didn't agree with this 'pagan' in advance.
