Important distinction: While Everson is saying “I don’t want this on my phone”, his argument is not about exclusion. Instead, it’s about systematic and beneficial unicode as a priority.

I empathize a great deal. As much as I disliked Owen, when he was a writer here, I found an odd comfort in his comment chicanery.
Such sass and bluster for someone so frustratingly obtuse. It was irritating, but it was dependable.

The value placed on the amount of work done.

Oh sure! Sorry, I was speaking generally and not thinking about specific implementation.

I mean, the financial benefits are obvious. Ledgers are ledgers, after all.

Explain the difference to me. Why does the government backing it (in a limited capacity, even), matter more than the work value of bitcoin?

Signal boosting this, as much as I can. The blockchain is fucking genius, and can solve all manner of problems.

Once you realize that the value of the dollar is not in its physical properties, but in its idea (see: Fiat currency), you’ll see that most currency is just as likely to ‘literally disappear overnight’ as Bitcoin.

Tell me again how they back the dollar, in the same scenario? FDIC only guarantees 250k.

Okay, friend. Whatever you think.

First, realize that what you’re doing is not an apology - it’s commiseration. Same as “I’m sorry about your cat”, when someone’s cat dies. You’re not apologizing to them, you’re commiserating with them.

Supremely wish more people would understand this.

The quote that I linked to is a pretty close approximation of “hate begets hate”. But if you really want to be pedantic, let me link the fucking Wikipedia article, since apparently you can’t fucking google “Hate begets hate”.
Satisfied?

Okay, but could you react with words that are relevant to what we are talking about? Because, “Hate begets hate” does not mean “hating hatred is a contradiction”. Therefore a response of “hating hatred isn’t a contradiction” has no bearing on the topic of whether or not “hate begets hate”.

Why didn’t you reply to me directly? I haven’t dismissed any of your comments. Even the ones where you go off in a tangent about things that I wasn’t, at all, talking about. You’re more than welcome to reply to me, without fear of dismissal. Ever.

Did I say it was? Don’t lump me in with whatever prejudice you have against people who aren’t in lock step with the liberal talking points. I believe someone said to me, recently, something along the lines of reasonable people disagreeing...

Who said anything about POCs policing themselves? I have no idea where these wild readings come from, but I wish you would stick to the text. “Hate begets hate” does not mean that hate is not justifiable. You’re acting as if I’m attacking a person, or people, when I’m attacking an ideology.
I have no problem with the…

Looks like this got dismissed, as well, so I’m reposting my response to this comment here:

Who said “only”. My whole point was that I was trying to square the philosophical discussion with my personal feeling, which is that OP is right to want to kill white supremacists.

It seems like you’re reading it backwards? The “perceived injustice” bit was about white supremacists perceiving injustice to THEM which is, of course, nonsense.
