The problem I have with this is who gets to determine what they consider family friendly. PewDiePie still has ads as far as I’m aware, and he’s a freakin’ Nazi, where a person who’s talking about legitimate LGBT awareness stuff gets demonitized. It never hits the people it needs to hit

You know that story of the boy who cried wolf...

I’m so glad to know I’m not the only one who factors in noise levels when choosing a restaurant. I can think of several I’ve stopped frequenting, even though I miss the food, simply because I find going intolerable anymore. Even the majority of fast casual places seem to play music for the enjoyment of the staff with…

hah once you tell your mom, cat’s out of the bag. everyone in the mom network will know, then all their kids will know, then you get ambushed at your high school reunion and held for ransom.

stable crypto currency lololololol

The “troops” are used for politics and questioning ones patriotism. The actual troops are used for lots of things.

“They don’t get to choose where to go, they don’t get to choose what wars are being fought.”

But also:

Nothing screams 3rd world despot like trotting out your military and artillery for the world to see. We have Veteran’s Day parades, Memorial Day parades, 4th of July parades, etc. We can honor the military without looking like fucking North Korea or Cuba.

Are you related to William Rauth, III, of AppFolio, and does he know that you’re a sad little racist internet troll?

I’m not saying they can’t. There are two outcomes for alternative currencies - either the current financial regime gets in on it or destroys it. I don’t know enough about BTC to know if the powers that be can or can’t get into it - but I don’t need a crystal ball to know what they’ll do if they can’t get in on it.

Even if this didn’t happen right now, all it would take is news that a terrorist attack was funded some way through cryptocurrency (whether it is true or not) and the US would shut that shit down quiiiick.

Well hopefully Bitcoin crashes and it brings an end to the whole crypto fad so the video card market normalizes over the next few years.

I mean it probably sounds like a dick thing to say, but you had to have seen this coming. Did Cryptocurrency people really think that World Powers and World Banks weren’t going to either want a piece of the action, or to summarily execute a rapidly growing competitive currency that they couldn’t get in on?

Fuck you

I like that your faith in humanity hasn’t been crushed yet like mine!

OH you poor hopeful person. That is SO not what this is about.

Let’s see. Motorola - radios to microprocessors. GE - lightbulbs to rocket engines. Nintendo - playing cards to electronic games.

Well, at least all the chemists are still employed, right?
