I play a bit of it too, enough that I know what a flying scissor is and what a one and two circle turn is but not enough that I get killed by random aim 120 that I had no idea was sailing towards me if I go online. This would definitely th

It's an interesting idea, but if we don't push the boundaries out of fear of regulation then we're effectively already living under these controls

That's true, it's definitely not impossible. It's just relative to other countries we seem to be a bit worse off on the housing front

Yea, I thinking of jumping the ditch in the next year. Housing is ridiculous here in nz, until that gets fixed it's not a very attractive place to live if you're trying to build wealth

Scratch gets meme'd way too hard, such a good way to learn, we did this for a few classes in highschool as an intro to the concepts, got me hooked and now I'm a dev at a hedge gund
