Is “ignored” really the right word here?

Bitcoin is a useless mental fancy of the corrupt and now the inept believing currency on a computer with no physical feel or touch is so valuable....Using electricity which comes mainly from burning coal to harvest coins is also daft....I stopped playing this fantasy like in 2017 when the coin reached $100 because I…

“At the heart of this series is an allegation that is just plain false: that Facebook conducts research and then systematically and willfully ignores it if the findings are inconvenient for the company,” Clegg said.

There are a number of comments pointing out that other industries/institutions also generate waste, and I would just like to point out that “It’s okay that crypto is pointlessly super wasteful because other, different things are also super wasteful” is maybe not the rock-solid defense you think it is.

Miners really are throwing away nearly new equipment and replacing it with incredible frequency.

Good article, George.

Simon and Garfunkel.  His name is Art Garfunkel.  You’ve misspelled it three times in this article.  Ugh.

Last time, in a medical conference cocktail where I was participating, I was talking to this Texan woman. And I can’t remember how the subject came about, she replied back to me “You think we came from MONKEYS! I moved away with my glass of wine.

Never lets me down.  

I am so sorry that happened to you. Dealing with a parent’s illness and death is always going to be hard. Fuck those assholes for making it excruciating on you. What happened to your dad is not your fault. I am so happy you are getting help to deal with this trauma. I hope you find peace and healing. Gentle hugs to…

Deadliest export from Australia - Murdock and spawn - these religious grifters are just rip-off artists.

I’m so sorry. That’s such a miserable thing to do to you at such a vulnerable time in your life. I’m not surprised you have PTSD.  I hope your therapy is working.  It sounds like you know what they tried to do to you and are taking care of yourself.  

Hillsong is one of the worst exports we in Australia gave to the world. It isn’t a religion. It’s a cult. A full blown cult. Started by a paedophile and taken over by his son, who then blamed the victims of his father for leading his father astray and for somehow or other tempting him.. And who then tried to pay off…

“Hey, he was black and walking around in public. What else do other reason do we need before stopping, belittling, and injuring him?” — anonymous source

They just gotta decide what “facts” to make up first.

Add having inescapably large breasts on top of that since age 13 and just watch the damn pain set in.

I’m 59 and can confirm that getting older doesn’t mean the bullshit stops. It takes a different tone, one that starts out convinced that it’s target needs to hear that she’s still pretty hot for an old lady, and ends with threats of violence and ageist insults when the target doesn’t simper and coo in response. This…

You know what’s a solid compliment? Something like “your hair is awesome!” or “those shoes are really cool!”, said from a respectful distance, and then going on about your day. This horseshit is none of that.

This sounds similar to my wife’s experiences while we lived and traveled in the US south. If I was with her and our son, we would get better service. In restaurants, stores, everywhere. If I wasn’t, they would get ignored or get poor service. And lots of stares. There were also a few occasions when we had to leave…

I had a number of similar experiences with my mum, rest her soul, a white woman. One time we were at a pub in England, in the town she and I were both born in, I was having a pint and we were just sitting by ourselves, minding our own business. I went to the bathroom, came back and she wanted to leave immediately.
