I mean your summation there is pretty much an accurate assessment. I don’t know what the arguments were in other spaces, but the ‘legitimate’ use that was pitched to creators at least, was that NFTs would make it possible for digital art to be as valued as physical art, by making it so an artists work could be unique…

‘NFTs are just beanie babies for people who get mad whenever there are black people in Star Wars movies’.

It comes across like a plan to figure out what the plan is.

The Stasi weren’t evil because they build a surveillance society. They were evil because they actively caused harm, sew distrust, manufactured charges to use against people, tortured, killed, had no oversight, were deeply corrupt and thrived on paranoia.

Well, contagion could be still a possibility, though they don’t have any leading suspects with prions seemingly not it. But people in close contact all the time, such as caregivers, might also tend to eat the same food, drink from the same water, and just hang out in the same places where an environmental toxin could…

Makes sense. The company was saved by people running scams on their stock and crypto bros. Running further crypto bro scams seems like the best way to take advantage of that for them.

Why don’t you clarify that statement with the rest of the facts? It was a total of 9000 people surveyed in several countries. Many of the home owners are in rural areas where the price of a house is in the low thousands. Many more of them are bought by their family and not themselves, primarily because of the need to…

Maybe it’s just me, but I read “play to have fun” as “PlAy To HaVe FuN.” It’s nice to know what the heads of these companies think of the people who keep them swimming in cash.

Fuck off.

Not everyone is capable of taking the vaccine, so this plan sacrifices a bunch of innocent immunocompromised people. Having a big group of unvaccinated people also serves as a breeding ground in which the coronavirus can mutate into new forms, possibly even ones that the current vaccines won’t be able to stop. So no,…

A bunch of people in the general population could also step up and get vaccinated and lower the spread of Covid and all its variants.

We do have structural inflation due to overstimulation and supply shortages.

Couch was a minor sentenced by a Judge at a hearing, there was no jury trial. It was a horrible outcome, but it was a shitty judge. 

Good. Ethan Couch got probation for killing four people while under the influence, because the jury was convinced he was simply too wealthy to understand consequences.

I had to double check before writing this that he hadn’t already done some NFT shit because it seemed so much like a thing he would already be a part of. 

I feel like this article doesn’t reflect the full picture.

The Biden administration fought in court in order to NOT to have to do this and lost.

The vaccine does reduce the chances of being infected, and the time you are infectious to others if you get a breakthrough case. “The vaccine does not prevent infection” is like saying “seatbelts don’t prevent you from dying in a car accident”.

It isn’t.

Cancel Culture doesn’t exist, it’s just a bogey man that says “bad people shouldn’t be allowed to escape the consequences of their actions - whether they are rich, or not”

I think part of the reason those stories work so well is because they address Lovecraft’s racism head-on, rather than brushing over it.

Got my booster on Monday! Took less than 20 mins. I had to nap a bunch yesterday but now feel fine. It’s almost like keeping up with vaccines is NOT A HARD THING AT ALL TO JUST FUCKING DO in order to protect others and reduce the transmission numbers as a whole.
