That’s how he gets his funding now.

It’s traceable but also possible to hide your identity, especially if you are a major criminal or government under sanctions. Especially when compared to the traditional finance system (in which they also tend to be pretty good at hiding their identities and transactions).

It’s a great platform for being able to transfer money that would otherwise be under sanctions and for storing criminal profits. And that’s probably what it will always be for.

True, but would they? I would think most have learned not to eat plastic by now?

Protect from what? It will certainly protect him from fish. I think it will work against anything without claws, and if he’s up against something with claws, I think they would easily pry the shells apart too. Even against something with claws he could maybe crawl to the other side of the cup- they likely wouldn’t open enough to crush the whole cup.

I have to wonder if the cup wasn’t really better for him though. He could hide up in there and still see out, and I’d imagine predators had never seen an octopus in a plastic cup before, whereas they are probably quite aware of shellfish.

Unfortunately this isn’t possible in their sandbox. They will knock down your sandcastle and kick the sand in your eyes. Best you can do is to stop interacting with them and leave them on their own island.

Yeah that’s the one I know, though I think it sounds nicer with the wording I know:

“A sock was placed upon the cock, And babies were prevented”

Are these chips actually made in China or still made in Taiwan like most high performance chips?

I was joking but not really. It’s what I would be doing if I were them.

They probably have another brand which appeals only to gender fluid save the whales hippies.

I wish the old Pizza Huts would come back with the deep dish pizzas and everything. The pizza was so much better back in the day, or is that just me?

As a chubby middle aged sales guy who remembers when we used to wear suits, I miss them because a suit and tie is about the best thing you can wear as a chubby guy to look good.

But think how many fewer cocks it is to deal with.

This is one area where I am vehemently in support of IP protection for all the writers and artists’ works being used. Unfortunately, unlike when it comes to suing individuals who copy something, the wholesale theft of generations of art and writing by AI companies is just being let slide.

Yeah but it sounds a lot better than “We’ve pursued a policy of understaffing to save costs”.

Honestly I can’t argue with that. That’s the reality of the situation. But emotionally they still deserve a bigger piece of what they created.

The value of anything is what people are willing to pay for it, full stop.
