Blaming genes and the “structure of your brain” is precisely what people without a sense of personal responsibility do.

Maybe the family should blame the degenerate gambler. You know, a little personal responsibility. Not a common thing these days.

You make those networks illegal to use. Just using them would be illegal, regardless of the contents of your communications.

When you receive a request to your website (or any service), that request comes from an IP address. There are databases that can tell you what country an IP address is from. It's not perfect, but it works well enough 99.99% of the time. Then, if the country is blacklisted, you do not allow access.

Those bots would be really naive not to use curl-impersonate. I basically use it for any request I make even if I don’t expect to be blocked because why wouldn’t I.

Consider that this is what they actually wanted you to do. They are a school and wanted to teach you to deal with the problems in your life yourself. In other words, they were trying to teach you to be an adult.

Carbon credits are nothing but a scam. Their prices are completely made-up since we don’t have the technology to remove carbon and therefore don’t have the faintest idea what the actual cost should be. It’s nothing but a way of hamstringing our industry to make us poorer.
