quality of life

When most people make their income in an area due to tourism then yes their QOL is directly tied to the industry.

Regardless of the issues it has the QOL is higher for residences due to it. You don't need to look far to see the effects of tourism on these places, just look at how these places fared during covid. Surprise, it was really fucking rough for most people in these high tourism areas.

There is also a reason the local government isn't working to prevent tourism. And it's because it generates a huge amount of money for the locals.

They don’t bring any value to the city.

You should check up on what percentage of the economy is tourism. I think you might be surprised.

Lol you're a fucking idiot. That is all there is to it.

Go back to x where most of the dumbass crypto bros like to hang out.

You keep repeating this. No one cares it hasn't happened and never will.

You don't need a block chain to sign a transaction and there is plenty of other ways to stop fraud. It's not happening because banks don't care to invest in fixing it.

Not to mention fixing this one issue isn't fucking web 3 lmao

They were niche back then. The amount of adblock users was effectively nothing compared to today.

No one would have adblock if the ad situation on websites never grew completely out of control.

Regardless of this corrupt shit, in general studies show that it's safe in normal quantities. Health wise it's much better then sugar.

It's not both siding lmao. I'm not going to bother explaining because I explained my viewpoint plenty in my other comments. You're free to read them.

However I find it irritating that you can't ever have a nuanced view on something without being forced onto a side by other commenters.

I'm pretty clearly pro Ukrainian and anti Russian. And it sucks that people like you attempt to make people like me who feel some amount of sadness for Russian foot soldiers dying in stupid war into an anti Ukrainian thing. Sorry for being a human with human emotions.

Trying to pain the "vast majority" of the Russian army invading Ukraine as falling for propaganda or being conscripted, and then doubling down on how they are just poor misguided souls while the war is currently going on right now, yes. That context makes it being an apologist.

Sure if you ignore the context of the thread about how it's bittersweet watching them get knocked out. Reminder bittersweet means "arousing pleasure tinged with sadness or pain".

And to be very clear I'm not dismissing their crimes. I'm simply saying most of them are human and I feel bad watching humans die. I would argue an attempt to dehumanize them makes things worse because it's ignoring why they are there in the first place and instead dismissing it to "Russians bad". They are there because a bunch of elite fascist Russians want to "revive" an empire, at the cost of hundreds of thousands of their own young men. (Not to ignore the absolutely crushing amount of Ukrainian casualties either). It's pure evil from Putin and crew.

It isn't really an easy thing to put in words. Because every Russian soldier dying is potentially a Ukrainian life saved. I'm fully aware of that and I celebrate Ukrainian victories like this. However it does sadden me that it had to be done.

Nothing positive comes from that right now in a thread that exists in a community about Ukraine discussing the current invasion of Ukraine.

Fair enough, to be honest I thought I was in combat footage when I originally posted my replies.
