    I don't care about people growing weed and making some moneys.

    But if you're going to fuck up the electricity net or even stealing it from your neighbors, you're a fuckhead.

    Nowadays you can just use LED lights and a heat pump and be extremely stealthy. Maybe even put some solar panels.

    I mean the old saying goes "don't shit where you sleep" meaning if you're going to be a criminal don't make your neighbors dislike you.

    I've heard stories of drug dealers and gang members being some of the best members of their hyper-local communities because they take this to heart. Your neighbors are the most likely to suspect something is off, if you kill them with kindness and generosity they're a far less likely to be nosy into your personal affairs and get you caught

    Or move somewhere you can grow it legally, then you don't have to be stealthy.

    Like the US? No thanks.

    Worldwide there are not many places. It's not even legal in the Netherlands to grow weed (with an exception for personal use).

    So it is legal to grow weed in the Netherlands then, not sure why you even mentioned it lol. Sorry your country sucks, if you have some form of representative government, I recommend participating as much as you can.

    We're talking about farms. Not just a plant or two you can have in your yard.

    I don't live in the Netherlands either. And in my country I already vote for the most left party that wants to legalize it.

    Not sure why you feel the need to make this personal about me.

    No, we're talking about growing weed. Amounts were never specified by anyone ITT.

    It wasn't intended to be "personal" to you, I don't even know you. You didn't like my first suggestion, so I gave you another suggestion, simple as.🤷‍♂️

    There a saying-- only do one crime at a time.

    This guy was growing weed and doing just fine at it. Only because he decided to steal power also, he got caught.

    that's the problem with kids in context of power and the state, it's very easy to bribe them and they don't have a bit of loyalty.

  • Kid's not thinking big enough. Now that they have evidence, they can blackmail the neighbour into buying them a better computer and a UPS

    I got in a fight with Verizon and the FCC over bootloader locking when I was 15, some of us just have nothing better to do than be a complete and utter pedantic menace as kids

    I mean I tried calling the ISP in my teens. They wouldn't talk to me and left us without internet for months. They would only talk to the bill payer, who was in Afghanistan at the time.

    You are calling about a billing issue when ypu are not the account holder. You were not old enough to negotiate a contract so they could not help you.

    The OP in the green text was calling about stolen power. That shouldn't require talking to the account holder.

    It wasn't a billing issue. It was being paid for but they broke it after digging up the road.

    Yeah children can't do that. I just handed one my phone with the number dialed, and the screen didn't recognize when she pressed call. She still has my phone and is starting to scream and curse at it. Maybe it works if they press the button with a stylus?

    As the father of a Minecraft-obsessed kid, this feels intended to fuel my dislike of Minecraft.

    So did the movie. And all those obnoxious YouTubers.

    Is that it? Is mojang just an elaborate put-on?

    No, but Microsoft bought Mojang out 12 years ago, and Microsoft gonna Microsoft.

    nah dude Minecraft is great. sandbox game that allows creativity and problem solving and whatnot.

    now, the microsoft-approved and promoted servers and ad content, fuck all that shit with bedrock. but basic Minecraft is great. just gotta get your kid onto basic java and away from bedrock where they serve you ads and shit

    Its been a number of years since I played either version, dont you pay for java and for bedrock? Why do they insert ads? Back in abt 2019 I didn't see any of that on Bedrock

    I don't think it's like external ads, just ads for Minecraft stuff hosted/promoted by Microsoft. idk, I don't pay attention to them and try to avoid bedrock. but yes, you have to pay for each version of the game, around $30 each

    Generally if you own a license for one version on PC you also get a license for the other, but it does sound like there's cases where you don't.

    When I got my eldest a license it covered both Java and Bedrock, and my license that dates back to the Beta days also gave me a free Bedrock license (I tried the Nvidia RTX demos then realized how incredibly limited Bedrock was because it would t let me play a normal world in RTX and so I said "screw this" and went back to Java)

    I'm pretty sure my wife's fairly new license also gave us both Java and Bedrock edition licenses too, but she's never tried Bedrock

    Yeah I redeemed my account when they switched from hosting on Mojang to Microsoft and I got access to both. But when I wanted to play on my Xbox I had to buy a new license for the my console (it may be that the app cost money idk). I was able to find questcraft and I can use my og license to login and play on my quest 2 headset

    minecraft can be very nice and wholesome, it's just that nice and wholesome doesn't sell (or rather big companies don't think it sells in this case). hermitcraft is an example of nice and wholesome minecraft, just a bunch of people playing on one minecraft server for a year or more (and then they start a new world, restarting the series in a new season) and making videos about every week. the members are usually pretty creative and kindhearted, and I can't really complain about them at all except maybe iskall, who had allegations pop up about him sexting women while married, who reacted to the allegations super unhelpfully and who left or got kicked off the server very quickly. major decisions like that are done by the server members voting on decisions instead of just one person being a bit dictatorish.

    Microsoft enshittified the fuck out of it

    base Minecraft is still there (except in bedrock, bedrock is super enshittified with official servers and ads and stuff and they make it difficult to connect to your own self hosted server, it's fucked)

    but java, you can still play just like old times, for the most part. shittier launcher. more login annoyances. but that's about it in my experience.
