A lot of money for something utterly worthless.

If it’s ripping off a regular amount of money, it’s shitty. If it’s ripping off 3.5 million, there’s no such thing as a person who spent that kind of money on Pokemon cards who doesn’t deserve to be ripped off.

I mean, nothing gives you the right to attack someone online because of trivial matters. You can have a discussion about those topics without trying to hurt the other person as well.

Seriously, folks. Just don’t be a dick.  It’s not a high bar, but a lot of people seem incapable of clearing it.

These all sound incredible. Im not sure what the problem is.

The point of something like this is overengineering. There’s definitely a market for more traditional designs with easily removable and cleanable mesh fronts and that market is very well catered to.

I really think you’re overestimating twitch. Tik tok is an extremely popular known entity. Hot ones is(I guess) a popular video series with celebrities. Twitch is it's own little world with stars that, for the most part, aren't famous outside of twitch. The most famous twitch personalities are gamers and Ramsay…

Now what if I take my copied jpg and put it on the blockchain to make it a seperate NFT? Who says your NFT is the original or even worth as much as mine?

That... kinda makes sense, but still not very funny ^_^;

Huh. I should have recognized the character since I did play Tales of Arise, but I just can’t find the connection here.

Sure, both are products of chemical industry, there are factories working to create them, generating waste and energy costs in the process, but one of them saves lives.

But NFTs where the resource they point to is on a fixed network like a gaming service where the sole owner of the item can be identified via a blockchain seems like a legitimate application of blockchain technology. The usage of the NFT terminology is problematic but the underlying blockchain tech could be useful to…

I mean, I don’t know what they could do to make me loathe them any more as a company, other than maybe like a co-branding arrangement with NAMBLA or something. Their troll game is formidable.

Yeah, and it’s not like you have to do it weeks or months in advance. You can literally just preorder the day before release or whenever they allow you to preload.  Like ordering something online and waiting a day for it to arrive.

Bah! No car, provided it is clean and in good repair, should be a source of embarrassment. If the prospective date turns their nose up at your whip then it wasn’t meant to be. Either they’re too shallow to be worth your time or they don’t share your taste in cars, or both. Move on, dignity unscathed. OldManMcKenna…
