So then why are the only people ising Bitcoin to move large amounts of money scammers and criminals? It's a hassel to move large amounts of money from one country to another because the stakes are so high and everyone involved wants to make sure it is done properly. You wouldn't send the down payment for a house or car via cash in the mail, so why would you do the online equivalent?

State currencies aren't torching the rain forest for speculation and gambling. There are plenty of criticisms you can make about the Federal Reserve and the ECB, but resources they use facilites trade between over a billion people for food, housing, clothing, and critical infrastructure. Meanwhile Bitcoin uses the same amount of energy as Australia or the Netherlands to accomplish nothing more than scams and market speculation. That's why even El Salvador's authoritarian tech bro president abandoned it as a currency this year.

Pewdiepie was the first step for the alt-richt pipeline for nearly 10 years

Stuff falls out of garbage trucks, trash cans get tipped over, stuff gets blown out of the bed of a dumptruck at the landfill, landfills erode and take trash with them. Trashcans aren't just magic portals that take trash into the nightosphere

Any job who's acronym is "CXO" is generally useless, correct

I took in a stray kitten that someone dumped at my work back in the fall. I wasn't sure if i would keep her or not, but i felt obligated to clean her up and feed her while i figured out what to do with her. As soon as she started interacting with my other kitten, they became best friends and i couldn't in good conscience seperate them.

Another friend of mine slowly took in a stray cat over the fourse of a summer. Leave out food for it of it hangs out around your house until it starts to nuzzle up against you. Then you can pet it, maybe pick it up, and then take it to a doctor to get it checked out.

It sounds to me though, that the other guy just doesn't like animals.

$5CAD is aboutt $3.50 USD. For jumbo eggs, i would call that aboit right. These are way larger than the "large" eggs most people are used to

It's a mix. The heating is out on my apartment, so it's currently 55 degrees in here, and i have no clue when the furnace will be fixed. My kitties don't seem to mind, but it's definitely feeling frigid. On the plus side, i sign a lease for a new apartment walking distance from my job on Friday, so won't be a problem for long. I had to get an advance on my pay, but it will be worth it to be able to walk to work everyday. Financially i am fucked, but that's been no different for the past year, so I'll just have to accept that

Helium typically doesn't undergo fission, but you wouldn't notice of it did. Millions of atoms in your body are undergoing fission at any given time. People only notice when a LOT of atoms undergo fission at the same time.

Like the highly niche, and still very real, group of "Super gays" that were born via C-section so they have never touched a vagina. There will always be people who want to take purity tests to an extreme.

US pharmaceutical companies are straight up evil and we all know it. It's no wonder why more and more people are skeptical about their products, e en when they are shown to be beneficial to everyone.

You mean a libertarian? Yeah we know. The dude is currently wrapped up in a memecoin scandal is oeak libertarian dude

Go around any rural area and a quarter of the house you see are decked out in Trump stuff. Trump could go into their house, fuck their wife, and then kill their dog and they will still love him.

I don't know how you haven't figured this out over the past 9 years.

Because Musk is pretty open about his ketamine abuse

Social Security numbers were first issued in 1937. You would have need someone to be over 110 in 1937 to have an age over 200. I think that it's a combination of birthdays entered wrong plus no official death date.

Don't tease me!

TIL, i guess o should have looked into that rather than just making an assumption and running with it.

NYC is the result of 5 different cities merging together. I asume that there is a deputy mayor for each borough

Because the Democrats exist as a controlled opposition party. They aren't there to make your life better, they are there to funnel progressive energy into a harmless movement.

NYC doesn't exactly have massive supermarkets on ever highway intersection. They are convenience stores that fill a need.
