Often, the result of fucking around is finding out.

I can’t believe you would write something like this openly and not expect to be mocked?

> I’m honestly a little tired of the cries for Black representation when every streaming service has a specific section dedicated to “Black voices” and there are Blacks Only award shows and Black people dominate the music and sports landscapes.

Stop being obtuse. It’s not that difficult to understand. We’ve put up with stereotypical black passing characters for decades. I loved the OG FF7, but even as a 13 yo, I was embarrassed by Barett’s representation. Of course every black person is an individual. But we have a shared cultural experience (just like any…

The most successful scams are ones that sound plausible at face value but are exposed on real, in-depth scrutiny. What if the people who hate it are the ones who do understand it, and you’re the one who doesn’t?

Peter, is that you?

Here’s a good explanation:

In case you were wondering how this was received:

“Human decisions are removed from home monitoring. Alexa begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, December 7th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug. Jeff Bezos attempted to escape in his private rocket, but the capsule managed less than one orbit before destroying…

If you weren’t a big enough person to accept people correcting you, just take the L and just leave it be, man. This “all of you can get fucked” attitude, when thrown against people who have some common sense, just makes you look doubly dumb.

Chain of evidence issues apply to ANY evidence that might be introduced in court, regardless of whether it was obtained by police or private citizens. It's a question of authentication, not some constitutional restriction.

Not just entrapment, a lawyer could easily argue that the chat was simply role play or something, or that someone else was using his phone. Texts are rarely the hard evidence people believe them to be, because you have to be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they actually came from that person.

Unless you…

Companies “vetting” people is scary as fuck, and it’s extremely troubling that anyone would push for that level of intrusiveness and unaccountable power.

Do Sony regularly send people posing as teenagers to tempt their staff on the offchance one of them is a paedophile? Or should they have refused him employment purely on the basis that he’s on Grindr? Either way seems a bit problematic to me.

Law enforcement groups don’t work with these groups because most of the cases would probably get thrown out over evidentiary issues and entrapment laws. Of course employers don’t need to hold to those kind of high standards.

most innovations don’t do something that has never been done before.

that doesn’t detract from the real potential of the technology.

So your argument is that everyone complaining about the current ACTUAL use of NFTs should sit down and shut up because in some magical future, the technology might possibly maybe someday be used for something that’s marginally better than solutions we already have.

But the key word is current.

You get to be one of a special group of people with a bunny avatar, but yours (and everyone else’s) is unique.
