Sure, the law is applicable to both the rich and poor in the same way that laws banning sleeping under bridges or begging in the street is also applicable to both rich and poor.

And by message, with this specifically, you mean, “Kill Democrats.”

It clearly was NOT meant to be funny. I’m really, really fucking sick and tired of Republicans being treated with kid gloves because “it’s a joke”.

See, that was a Democrat, and a woman, talking about a Republican. Completely different. CNN can’t make a stink about a Republican killing a Democrat.

Because those programs target “the right people,” not upstanding Patriots like them.

The stock market is not “all made up,” but it is far more feelings than facts.

Why can’t we force these companies to have monitoring on their pipelines, and have ways to shut them down remotely? I see absolutely zero reason why they shouldn’t have been able to close sections of the pipeline around the leak immediately after one is discovered, and to keep them closed until the leak is fixed.

It’s a lot deeper than that. It’s not just evangelical Christian; much of it has been built on the ancient, and extremely antisemitic conspiracy of blood libel.

Because it’s not a worthwhile difference. The only way it is, is if you’re one of those idiots that think we need to go back to the gold standard.

Aside from the blockchain responses, they’re making it sound like these would actually affect the game. As in, you could pay to win your NFT, so that you always win (until the publisher puts out a more powerful NFT, but they sold you the most powerful one ever, so they would never do that, right?)

Ok, lets say I had the NFT of Super Mario, and because of that, I could never lose. 1). Wouldn’t that get boring after a while? 2). Why would anyone else play against me, if they know they’re instantly going to lose?

Nobody gives a shit, because functionally, there is no difference. I would still have gold. If you’re trying to make an idiotic argument for the “gold standard”, then say that, so everyone knows you have the economic understanding of a dust mite.

No. That comparison is completely idiotic. For one, I can go buy gold with my US Dollars all I want.

One thing I don’t get with these scams is, how do you do the “cash out” part? And how do you stop people from being able to sell to others (other than make it so no one wants to buy)?

Because it is true. NFTs destroy the environment for no tangible benefit whatsoever.

How does Blockchain help in any way with that? You already can prove randomness with a regular random number generator with decent certainty; most of the slot machines in Vegas have their RNG in software, and the Nevada Gaming Commission requires regular auditing of those algorithms.

Yeah, I made myself sad writing that.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never seen any executive that works harder than a single mother working multiple jobs.

Also, real, masculine men don’t have depression and taking anti-depressents might make them feel feelings, like women! That would be terrible. /s

I want to you to go look at what it actually takes to prove a charge of insurrection, and come back and tell me that’s a plausible charge.
