it was a phishing scam

Thanks. It doesn’t really help. I’m not sure who or what you’re trying to help but... We’re all over here still laughing, if it helps.

I mean Crypto (and NFTs by proxy) are designed exactly for this. Scams, money laundering, criminal activity, fraud. Not a bug, definitely in the design.

I’m 6' and I don’t have any problem with her being fired. I can’t pretend to comprehend the cultural implications of the slang she used, but you can say “I prefer tall men” without saying “Short men aren’t humans and should have surgery to fix their defect”. Replace tall/short with any other immutable identifier about…

Would you react the same way if she’d said “fat people have no rights, they should all get bariatric surgery”?

I’m with planehugger on this; saying that a broad group of people should be ashamed of their bodies and seek surgical care to “correct” it is fucking disgusting. It wouldn’t be any different than me going on Jezebel and saying, “Fat chicks are gross, they should all just get liposuction! lolz”

Imagine a guy “joking” about how he prefers skinny chicks and says “fat women don’t have human rights”. He would also be immediately fired, this is equality

I think a person is being inappropriate anytime they suggest that someone is lesser because of a physical feature, and say they should get painful surgery to fix the supposed deficiency. That goes for the comments here, as well as the (far more common) comments women get about their physical features.

Only that’s not what she said. A person can say, for example, “I like women with small noses.” That’s different from saying, “Women with larger noses are lacking, and they should get surgery to fix their noses.”

Maybe because being politely outraged didn’t fucking do anything and the world is being literally ruined for every creature but, possibly, ourselves? We’re going to literally drown millions, if not billions of people or at least their former habitats, because we were politely objecting to bad policies in the 20th…

Beyond the (multitude!) of issues with NFTs I think part of the reason why it makes people angry with rage is the interactions it brings with it. Merely mention NFTs in any context some places and you’re flooded with bots promoting whatever scam. Every creator gets spammed by NFT bros trying to convince them to join…

The difference with this and other things to dislike is that you can be *rationally* angry about NFTs. They do nothing in the gaming space that can’t be done better, cheaper, and more efficiently than standard dev practices. They cause massive energy use to mint, transfer, and cash out since they’re based on…

Whilst i do agree with you that how angry people get about <stuff> in general is perplexing, this is one particular space where i think it’s different.

When people get ultra angry about some film or casting or w/e it seems out of hand.

But when it’s a technology with no (current) actual benefits, being used purely to…

Aggro Crab’s response should be the template response to every NFT announcement, from now on. 

I think I can speak for everyone here when I say more companies need to end their statements with the sentence “I fucking hate it here”, optionally accompanied by a small animal brandishing a weapon of some sort.

I’m now officially an AggroCrab fan

so she fits in perfectly with the anti crowd.

As others have pointed out, she’s now so invested in being “right” - and proving it to everybody - that she’s just going to keep digging, and digging, until she’s got something she can point to as a “win”, no matter who she needs to attack or expose or associate with in the process.

Yeah it depressingly doesn’t sound baffling at all quite frankly. There’s no reason whatsoever for the boyfriend to stay silent unless there’s something that would incriminate him in some way and the lawyer’s excuse is obvious BS.

Murry ‘Not in the Face!’ Chang would be my nickname.  Make ‘em think twice I bet!
