I mean, I can believe public hospitals in Prague not being top-notch, but flying to America to get treatment seems surreal. Like, that’s a lot of money and I can’t believe for that amount they couldn’t find a private to do it better in CZ or at least in Germany.

I haven’t personally been in America so you’re probably more knowledgeable than me under that aspect, but from all the shit I’ve read online I don’t get why should anyone from Europe go get treatment there instead of a Scandinavian country.

Ohh I see. Yeah that’s a bit too on the nose then.

That’s just what happened in one universe though, right? Neither Batman nor Joker know about that, or did I misunderstood?

First, there’s a big difference between cities in both places. I could believe that if you compare California to Bratislav, but Oklahoma to Vienna would already be a different matter.

And in any case, it depends how much worse it was. In the US, even if it’s “state funded”, you have to pay for it, and quite a lot. Chances are if you went to a private clinic in Central Europe paying that same amount of money you could’ve gotten the same, if not better treatment.

And Japan, and New Zealand, and Eastern Europe, and…

The rest of the group feels otherwise, probably NOT because they don’t care if their candidate gets elected, but rather that they don’t understand how crucial it is to their party (along with gerrymandering). And their first gut instinct is that popular vote is justified/rational/logical whatever.

The (European) centrist part in me think the “less engaged” Republicans are those who like the central right-wing ideas (small government, less taxes etc.), but don’t like how crazy the current Republican party is, and since they have no real representative they identify themselves as “less engaged”. Those people would probably prefer for the electoral college to be abolished so that the current Republican party never gets elected again and they’re forced to shift to candidates that are actually sane in order to win back votes.

…but yeah, your analysis might be correct too, those “less engaged” people could also be MAGAs that just don’t understand how they wouldn’t win an actually democratic election.

I don’t think I get it.

As I imagine it it would be: Republicans HATE Democrats. Democrats HATE Republicans. If all Democrats rank the R candidate dead last and Republicans do the same for the D one, their votes pretty much nullify each other, and whatever third party that got less First-choice votes but also way less Last-choice votes has a better chance at winning. Isn’t that how it should work?

We literally never used it or saw someone else use it. None of us knows how it works. If you said “Green Texts” to them, the large majority would have no idea what you’re talking about, and the rest would think of the 4chan ones.

The right really isn’t any better. It sucks, but pretty much every slogan nowadays ditches accuracy to roll off the tongue better.

Definitely more well-known than iMessage. I have an iPhone and most of my friends have an iPhone but we all use Whatsapp/Telegram.

Not sure, but quick googling says this is at least 3 years old so it would be kinda hard to find.

So it’s a matter of being relatively easy to scam people with it? Is it an issue only when the NFT is “made” for the first time or for every transaction too?

I personally thought the appeal was that you can sell them as regular items, whereas if they were in a traditional database you still would’ve needed the transaction to be approved by the database itself.

At least that’s what I figured, I know nothing of how selling an NFT works so I could be just talking out of my ass.

Now I’m even more confused. How does that have anything to do with NFTs?

That would only be feasible in a very small company, with sufficient profits to spread among the workforce.

They have 10 employees and their game sold 44+ million copies. That’s like 1000 copies a day, per employee, for 13 years.

If you have proof they aren’t doing it feel free to link, but looking at their policies I kinda doubt it.

Wait, wasn’t this already known? I swear I read Trump saying something like this even before the 2020 election. Am I having a Deja vu?

EDIT: Yes, it’s old news but now we have a reliable source and more details. Obviously he denied the claims the first time.

So what crappy things did Re-Logic do, for example?

Sorry, I tried to understand this Oracle Paradox you’re talking about but every explanation I found had so much jargon that it fried my brain at the third line. Do you know where can I find an ELI5?

And yes, I get why people dislike the concept of NFTs, but mocking their value (or lack thereof) seems dumb when it’s “obtained” the same way as pretty much every other collectible.

Why does everyone need to point out how “they were always worthless”? It’s a collector’s “item”, it only has value if someone wants to buy it, nothing new.

The only difference is that this one’s value if the market completely crashes is absolute zero, but does that change much if regular collectible items are physical and can be sold for 1 cent instead?

I never bought NFTs and never will, but as a collector this pisses me off because it’s the same as those people who mock card collections because “it’s just cardboard”. You’re completely missing the point.

What “text book right wing talking points”? That cancel culture is mostly bad, when they push to ban books because they mention gay people existing? They love it as much, if not more, than the left. Even if they might’ve “coined” the term, it’s very much a bipartisan issue.

And no, I’m not talking about that kind of “content creators”. I’m talking people who don’t talk about politics at all and get their comments stormed by people complaining because they found a tweet from when they were like 15 using the n-word.

Because I love iPhones and iOs, I just wish the ones making them weren't such asses with their customers.
