Always real answer: they invested in BAT.

explodicle ,

That part about gold being impossible to depose didn't age well. 😢

explodicle ,

Does that really count as "throw objects" though?

explodicle ,

I'm not defending China here, but since Snowden we now know that American corporate spyware does serve the government. And they are suppressing democracy - this isn't a democracy yet, and peaceful protests for democracy are met with violent police resistance - Occupy, BLM, etc.

I sincerely hope that Lemmy can grow large enough to serve as a staging ground for democratic protests in America, just because it's not corporate controlled.

I've been scared to use that ever since they actually solved "Public reluctance to accept weird new forms of money".

explodicle ,

If it really ramps up, we could share block lists too, like with ad blockers. So if a friend (or nth-degree friend) blocks someone, then you would block them automatically.

explodicle ,

There's nothing wrong or bad with it, but it's a little gay, so it breaks their concentration and makes them feel uneasy.

I liked summoning in 3, but in 4 it feels like all the monsters just run straight past my summons to me. It's like having an incompetent offensive line in American football. I just spend every fight running around avoiding monsters because they're smarter than my skeletons.

35 years old! Makes me wonder what he would've come up with next, where music would be today if he'd lived to a ripe old age.

explodicle ,

I like to cut off Teslas in particular because they have extra safe following features.

explodicle ,

Can't they just create pseudonyms?

explodicle ,

But we can already mirror a git repository, and you can already sign your commits. The weak point here was the developers' identities, not the platform on which the data was hosted.

explodicle ,

This suggestion makes you a crypto influencer now.

explodicle ,

2009-2017 boomed a little too

explodicle ,

My career has also gone very well in this time period by slacking on my previous job and using the extra time to get my current job. Per minute spent, I think it's more cost effective to look for a new job. Companies hate loyalty now.

I don't even sugar coat the "no" anymore. When the next company calls, all they're going to share is how long I worked there.

Here's a Venn Diagram:

Free golf for everyone!

explodicle ,

Basically just Haley now.

explodicle ,

Sure, you can change literally everything about Firefox if you pay a time cost. The defaults do matter because that's one more thing to fix when installing it. We could say this about any negative feature.

explodicle ,

Hey what if instead of free adblock, we charged people for it? Also I'll use a little bit of the profits to try banning gay marriage.

explodicle ,

When I first started advocating for it 24ish years ago (guess why), practically nobody had heard of it. Now most liberals seem to know what it is. And I think that's a very important nearly-final step, because now every congressman does know what it is. The logic is obvious; it's all a matter of honest awareness and dishonest BS.

The hard part will be getting people to admit to themselves that they've been manipulated by de facto conservative Democrats for years.

explodicle ,

When I'm on my bike, I love ending up on unofficial lanes that were painted by some dude and are clearly safe. When my coworkers give me guns, I think about how lame and boring unions are.

explodicle ,

Is that the panel 1 guy trying to convince the panel 2 guy to vote for genocide?

explodicle ,

Once someone hacked Bitcoin to give himself a bazillion bitcoin for free. Everyone else could see that - so they just patched the vulnerability - but Bitcoin was hacked.

That's why it ended up going here.

explodicle ,

I'd rather just take the one time lump sum payout of shorting it and flying over the radar. (Which that dude probably did) If you patiently exploit the vulnerability, then someone else might figure it out or notice.

explodicle ,

Republicans "support" guns up until black people start marching with them.

Democrats "oppose" guns except for the police who shoot black people.

explodicle ,

Limited leaning, for the people who won't stop trying to walk through virtual walls.

explodicle ,

A platitude. The fascists are already trying to kill us, we need to fight back. Both sides are not the same.

explodicle ,

Nazism (/ˈnɑːtsɪzəm, ˈnæt-/ NA(H)T-siz-əm; also Naziism /-si.ɪzəm/),[1] the common name in English for National Socialism (German: Nationalsozialismus, German: [natsi̯oˈnaːlzotsi̯aˌlɪsmʊs] ⓘ), is the far-right totalitarian socio-political ideology and practices associated with Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party (NSDAP) in Germany.

But really...

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

Chick fil a is homophobic; that might be keeping demand lower than it would be otherwise.

explodicle ,

We'll just call more of them up at the last minute. Get here in 20 minutes or you'll be on 3rd shift.

explodicle ,

Hey I'm in California too! ✋️🌞🤚 But people around here do not universally love gay people as much as the rest of America thinks - as you know, a disturbingly large percentage of us are bigots. They don't care who profits.

explodicle ,

How much do I think demand would otherwise be?

  • If one person is obese, it's a personal failing.

  • If the country has an obesity epidemic, then it's a systemic problem.

When you create this shoveling caricature of your fellow citizen, you support the fast food industry's claim that millions simply have a personal problem. Their shareholders are the ones eating your lunch.

explodicle ,

Where are you getting price controls? The "answer" is a bunch of stuff that tbh will impact prices. For example, ending corn subsidies would make food more expensive on average, but you personally would save money because the healthy choices you make would have better economies of scale.

It's not like everyone in the world has this problem. It's concentrated on the USA; the food here is less healthy. I don't know you or what strengths or weakness you have, but everyone responds to incentives.

I don't get it, who's saying people who support election reform shouldn't vote?

explodicle ,

I'm hoping it happens to everyone all at once. Then another wave of sexual liberation can begin.

explodicle ,

I'd prefer an unmitigated disaster.

explodicle ,

"More monopolies will lower prices."

explodicle ,

That's just historical capitalism. I can fix him!

explodicle ,

We do get it. It's obvious. It's so obvious that the only people still supporting FPTP are in favor of it; they don't give a crap about selling us out to fascists.

And the "not fascists" angle worked a lot better when they weren't aiding a genocide.

explodicle ,

That's literally the exact same thing they said about the 20th century.

explodicle ,

Have you tried voting harder this midterm?

explodicle ,

That's waaaay more complicated than just minimum wage. $16 isn't even a living wage here in L.A. where we've got lots of homelessness.

We ought to employ Land Value Taxation to fund the basic necessities for survival, and the remainder should go towards a UBI.

explodicle ,

Nobody here is disputing that the Republicans are fascists.

explodicle ,

As I've gotten older I've done the opposite! If they think there are any gods at all, then they make important decisions without evidence. That always spills over into more physical concerns, like climate change.

explodicle ,

They're doubting why that part is important in the first place.

explodicle ,

In hindsight it's sad how very right he was. Now when I think "I want to send Alice a message", I just go to the app I know will work, instead of trying to remember if Alice still uses Signal too.
