What would you do if you won the lottery?
Keep playing to get more rich.
Most professional gamblers quit just before a big victory. I won't make that mistake.

Just redacted 13 years of interaction and helping people on Reddit
That's cool.
But did you clean your tummy today?
Don't let your emotions and your happiness keep you from doing important stuff, like post here, start communities, reply posts, and clean your tummy.

For some reason they find it really difficult to not be abusers
People give too little credit to how much crimes the police stops simply through self control.

I'd compare more to the Titan situation. Every day there is an expert explaining how they are doomed,
I'm not really watching anything because I don't visit reddit, but from time to time, news appear saying that it's sinking. Sometimes a starved seaman shows up talking about how the ship had split in half during a sunny day and they are currently attempting to use silver tape to glue it back together before a storm hits them. Then another one shows up a couple days later saying they no longer have food...

Can mp4 or mkv files contain virus?
Yes.
Depends on the virus, but unlikely.
The thing about viruses is that it is an arms race. It's almost impossible to get a virus from playing media on your computer. Why? Well, let me explain in a 3 easy steps:
Viruses have specific goals. They want to spy on you, encrypt your files, use your computer on a botnet, access ads with your computer, etc. In order to do that, they must gain access within your system to do those things.
Since they need access, the easiest way to get access is just by simply asking you. Which is why executables (software and games) are the riskiest stuff to pirate. But it's possible to get viruses from other sources, they do that by exploring flaws in the software. For example, a while ago they managed to insert viruses through VLC media player subtitles.
However, simply exploiting a flaw isn't enough because flaws get fixed. Following the VLC Media player example, few days after the virus was distributed, VLC launched a new version that corrected the flaw, making the virus useless. Therefore, it's necessary that the virus either explores a 0-day (a flaw that hasn't been widely discovered - this kind of information is sold for a lot of money on the deep web and is usually used to hack governments and bit corporations) or targets people using old software on their machines.
In conclusion: you can catch Aids having sex with condoms, maybe it had a tear, maybe you had a small bleeding on your mouth, etc, but you aren't getting aids using condoms unless you're extremely unlucky. In the same vein, it's possible to catch viruses from media files, but if your software is updated, it's extremely unlikely.

[SERIOUS] How do you do figure out what job you want after high school?
You want the job that is offered to you, pays good, and won't feel like hell every day. This job may or may not be related to your field of study, but you better study something useful if you want to be taken seriously.
Stop thinking that you can pick and choose, sometimes you can, sometimes you can't. Some people can, most people can't.

Any tips for men attempting to hide nipple piercings?
Reply in thread
Nah.
I want to get nipple piercings because I want anybody who have sex with me to play with them and, as a bonus, humiliate me and degrade me. (yes, I know, body modifiers frown upon the sexualization of piercings, but I want them precisely because they are sexual, lol)
But I don't want Karen, Christian Mother of the Street, to be denouncing me to the police for being a gay freak of nature who will transmit homosexuality to her children when they see my piercings through my shirt.

Is it wrong to sell your Reddit account?
Reply in thread
Welp. Reddit should've thought about this possibility before screwing over everyone.
But your last argument is reason enough to keep your Reddit account.

To what extend are you grateful for free services?
I'm not a charity institution. I use whatever is better/more cost-effective for my needs.
I will, however, point out that the ability to migrate and/or downgrade (from paid to free for example) is something in which I place A LOT of value. I will use stuff that is substantially worse than the market leader simply because it allows me to take my shit and leave if I ever change my mind. Being able to move from a paid to a free plan when you are no longer using something is pretty important.
Regarding your example, Proton VPN is on the higher end of VPNs. I consider it pricy, but they are trying to compete with OVPN. Paying because you need to support is an emotional decision. If you ever get enough money that you don't care about paying another $5 to get a better service, go with them. Else, choose something paid but cheaper.

Justamente por não ter membros que não deveriam puxar notícias. Vai ficar só tópico de bot. Quem abrir um tópico que seria respondido depois de uma semana por um dos poucos usuários não vai mais ser respondido porque quem entrar só vai ver os tópicos que os bots estão criando.

Sex education for REALLY promiscuos people?
Reply in thread
100%
But each practice involves different levels of risk. Kissing random strangers has a different level of risk from having anal sex with them, and a different level of risk from having oral sex, piss play, etc. Some stuff seems obvious, other stuff isn't as intuitive. And for people who engage in risk behavior, knowing how risky it is makes all the difference in the world. Knowing that having anal sex with an escorts is way riskier than having vaginal sex with her makes all the difference in the world.

Random thought: Windows is largely successful because of Piracy
Reply in thread
PCs are expensive and unpractical.
I wanted a PC, bought a tablet. Ideally, I'd want a SFFPC plus screens that I could easily move. I'd settle for a SFFPC with a dedicated graphics card if I couldn't move it. I'd also settle for a notebook that would allow me to easily swap HDDs/SSDs. However, none of those things are possible and/or have a good cost-benefit, so I got a tablet.
Notebooks are too clunky compared to tablets because they are attached to a keyboard and to a screen. If those parts were removable, they would be more successful. Tablets would also be more popular if you could use them as PC screens (some from Lenovo already come with this featur).
Manufacturers are moving in the opposite direction, soldering memory, and making as hard as possible to change parts.

Quais redes sociais vocês usam?
YouTube, Lemmy, Tiktok e, raramente, Instagram de forma ativa (comentando e seguindo).
Twitter e Reddit de forma consultiva - uso o Reddit pra pesquisar algumas coisas e visito o Twitter quando estou procurando coisas específicas sobre alguém ou alguma empresa. Não tenho conta em nenhuma dessas duas redes.
