Has he tried not being a cunt?

Right. So the solution is to fence those poor chlidren in. How about a guard tower to make sure they don’t escape?

Oh Lord have mercy not using up all the public street parking:faints:

Worse, they had live next to you!

Glad you moved.  None of that happens in single family homes.  

The answer is every damn older car. But since you’re looking for more than a one slide slideshow…

100% this. No matter how consistant you think you are going, you are not

I’ll be honest with you, on long trips it’s usually obvious who isn’t using cruise control, and they kind of drive me crazy. Cruise keeps things orderly on the interstate. 

Here’s where your argument falls apart:
- Your perspective is that of a consumer, not a corporation looking to increase shareholder value.
- As others have pointed out (including your own example with CS:GO), blockchain and NFTs are not necessary to create and maintain a player cosmetics store.
- Game publishers and…

What’s so exciting about this technology is you don’t even need NFT’s or the blockchain for it! 

You don’t need NFTs to do that though. It’s way easier to just have a regular old database to buy and sell skins on a service.

The fundamental problem is that if you get scammed into giving up your NFT, you can sue the scammer and get it back. Even though the scammer now “owns” the NFT in NFT terms, they don’t own it legally, and legal ownership is what matters.

NFTs are just meant to be receipts to prove transactions occurred as a way to prevent fraud on the blockchain

There is literally nothing you can do with an NFT that you can't do more easily and more efficiently in some other way. 

Steam doesn’t use NFTs or a blockchain. They use a regular old database, which is a far better tool for this sort of thing.

You don’t need NFTs or blockchain to run a closed market for skins or whatever. 

A good and expected result.  Now can we never talk about them again?

“Rather than the venerable intercooled inline six of the Grand National...”

Parents have a choice: that’s why all of the red states are passing laws to funnel public school money to private and religious schools. So if they don’t like what’s in the public school library they send send their brats to one of those schools or home school. 

Because never does a good deed, idea, policy, or person go unpunished. Until humanity figures out why it gets so much societal satisfaction out of brow-beating its best examples, we will continue to have good governance just instinctively, animalistically torn asunder for the morbid spectacle.
