If Harris couldn't run a campaign good enough to beat donald trump, that's entirely her own failing.

Here I was hoping leaving the States would free me from SAP

Finally, the woke moralist?

Fuck that shit. He didn't give a shit about the children being shot and slaughtered by isreals military, or our own while he was VP. Why should I pretend to give a single shit about him? For some "moral high ground"? The bar is in hell.

He's 14. He's about as innocent as every other child. While he should certainly be educated and corrected, allowing a child to fall into that shit is the fault of their guardian.

Do you remember all the stupid shit you thought and believed at 14?

Richest state in the richest country in the world and Californians are still convinced their problems are poor and brown people and not the people actually holding all the fucking wealth?

Not surprising. Still Americans.

You say this, but the people yelling and screaming are typically the ones that are pushing for progress, while the people that hide behind "decorum" are the ones trying to strip people of their rights and funnel money into capital.

Also, human beings are animals..

Man, if only Harris had done something to win the anti-genocide vote. like, Iunno? Campaign against genocide? Promise to stop America's funding? Write a strongly worded public letter about it?

More that it isn't relevant to this discussion because in the hypothetical you're still spending the same amount, just on electricity instead of the game cost.

And yes, because labor rights are a joke in this country. I've got bills to pay and mouths to feed.

Passing the “carbon credit” on to my employment is kinda outside of my hands, since that is dictated by my employer, which few are lucky enough to have a meaningful decision in. People also don’t work an extra amount that somehow corresponds to “waste money” but budget out the amount they earn.

As an idea, using crypto to offset the API costs to crypto and thus to electricity usage is wild because I’m still paying the same dollar amount, just in electricity that I have then wasted, and not directly on the game without all the middle man BS. So instead of paying for API + profit, I’m paying for electricity, which is then wasted generating crypto to pay for a game I could just pay for directly without the excess energy waste.

Given the comment I'm responding to, I felt it was appropriate.

I would pay good dollar money to be this stupid.

Do you think solar panels come from thin air? How is that going to do anything but offset renewable adoption?

Poonited States

Places with much stronger social safety nets and much more accessible healthcare.

Making it expensive only bankrupts addicts and makes more things privileges for the rich.

Using gen AI isn't punk. Fuck that bullshit all the way.

Creating your own fucking art is punk. GenAI is slop, powered by theft.

Crypto currencies aren't open vessels which can be used for a vast multitude of things. They're currencies. Defending them on the basis of "what about web browsers". They're not web browsers, which are designed to connect users to the Internet, they don't allow someone to airdrop a photo of your front door into a virtual wallet without you at least consenting to the service used.

It's a bit different when the developers and early adopters are the ones perpetuating the grift. It's a digital money system with aggressive deflation and unregulated trading. Fraud is natural? Not coding to prevent fraud is implicit permission to commit fraud. Crypto didn't spawn out of a vacuum. They didn't somehow not know their virtual fake money was going to be used to grift and scam people.

Regular banking transactions cost fractions of a cent in electricity, as they don't have to do exhaustive amounts of proof of work. Bitcoins value is somewhat tied to the electrical cost of generating a bitcoin.

Hilarious, again to suggest that the creators of fake, unregulated stock markets for fake money are in any way not aware that they can be used for very real scam and fraud and are thus y'know, responsible to regulate it or responsible for the unregulated damage.

A physical object with physical design limitations. A thing that can then physically be broken and abused, not software that can be abused well within the design limitations. Memeable.

I find them quite necessary. The derision is part of the point. So many people treat cryptocurrency like something to be venerated when it's just a bunch of bullshit.

Bitcoin forked into bitcoin classic, in order to undo a transaction. I'm aware this isn't a trivial process, but it protects those with power and capital and has no function to protect those who do not. The issue is that this is completely ran by capitalists and has no oversite, obviously banks have plenty of ways to fuck you over, that's why they're regulated.

Yes that is an issue. I'm suggesting that "cryptocurrency" as a solution to that issue is just as much of a solution as any other investment vehicle and isn't something crypto is in any way uniquely suited to solve. Civil forfeiture is theft and unconstitutional.

There is no mechanism through which accountability can be held. That is entirely the point. You can "judge" them individually all you want but the ecosystem is uniquely suited for abuse.

Are you going to elaborate on where you disagree, or just "no ur wrong :( :(. Stop bullying my favorite grift"

On the drug trade issue? I'm clearly mostly focusing on all the other ways crypto is fucking stupid bullshit for people that don't understand technology.

But I don't think an entirely unregulated market with "anonymous user reviews" is really the smartest or best way to buy drugs.
