Crypto enthusiasts don’t really care or understand decentralization. If you talk to crypto bros you will realize pretty quickly that a lot of them are very very low IQ morons.

I was at an event and met a crypto bro. He tried to explain to a group of us that btc is like moss and the world is the forest. A couple people legitimately “got it” and began to get excited about crypto.

This is probably the third meme in two days where the top comment says it’s not a meme.

It’s funny because the ADHD subreddit is memes and upvotes and people talking about how ADHD hurts their performance at work.

The bipolar subreddit is people who want to kill themselves. People who are homeless. People who are broken, have lost their spouses, jobs, lives.

And ADHD gets so much sympathy. It’s a mental illness that’s so socially acceptable that people talk about it at work. Compare and contrast that to bipolar where you carry a stigma wherever you go. It’s nuts.

This entire weird conversation aside, Palestine/Israel conflict does not currently affect the West. It could hypothetically escalate until it affected the West I suppose.

Also, Israel is not in NATO. They are a “NATO partner” but are not legally tied to the security alliance.

Tell them you did something unverifiable but technical.

“I started a game studio with a buddy from college. No, sorry, I don’t have a TIN (tax identification number [IRS])”

Give them a number to a burner phone and fake an accent.

“Tom? Yeah we worked together at ___ I felt like he was a great guy to work with.”

Tell them you were deathly sick.

“Yeah I had skin cancer. Nothing major but I had to take it easy and after beating it we all went on vacation to celebrate”

Tell them you lived the software engineer dream life

“After leaving my last job I wanted a change of pace so I went to become a bartender in Melbourne. It was all under the table”

People got upset because their favorite YouTuber memer/influencer got a little kneeled on and died. A lot of people in this country need help.

Blow up your refineries, I don’t mind. But trap people in tunnels to force them to think about racism? All because a crack-addicted schizoid got choked out?

You’re only allowed to commit mass violence for a good reason.

I am a queer rights activist. During Covid I was in CHAZ/CHOP, I’ve been a community organizer. I’ve lit animal shit on fire in front of a politician’s home.

A group blocked hundreds of people underground in a tunnel during the BLM protests. I lost faith in the modern day racial equality movement. I am a self admitted racist now. I strongly dislike certain “disproportionately troublesome” ethnic groups.

Trapping people underground caused me to leave the movement. It caused me to reconsider if I want to be associated with people who commit acts of terror against regular citizens.

In Spanish you have one tamal but two tamales. In English you have one tamale, two tamales. We incorrectly removed the pluralization from tamales and now we have this hybrid word, tamale.

they account for 85+% of Mozilla’s revenue

So why is a company, one that has a clear incentive to reduce dependence on their competitor, funding something like Rust or Thunderbird?

Sometimes when I’m backed up having a way to clear the pipes is nice. There are few things I enjoy more than a blast from the ass.

She probably does a lot and then musk inserts himself into random situations and fucks it up. She says “okay eng team build Foo” and then next week Elon goes on a rant and cancels Foo without consulting her.

Of course they did. Why are you even asking?

Dude… I hate Trump too but you’re blinded by your own emotions.

Yeah it’s actually insane that the dude is accusing someone else of spreading misinformation and he’s covering up Syria and Libya. Lmao and people say this community is unbiased…

Obama involved us in Syria and supported the Saudis bombing Yemen.

Clinton got involved in the Balkans.

Reagan funded rebel groups in South America.

Carter… Actually idk anything this far back.

You should listen to Noam Chomsky. He’s very very liberal and has some good criticisms of the US involvement overseas. I don’t agree with everything he says but it’s worth listening to.
