For the people not getting it:

1. They treat morals as opinions.
2. They also treat their personal opinions like they're the absolute best opinion.

Another way:

They think everyone likes different ice cream flavors and that's fine. They like Rocky Road flavor. They also think anyone who doesn't is a monster.

Convictions are one thing. But they need to be logically consistent. Saying morality is subjective but you're evil if you don't subscribe to my personal version is illogical.

So again, this isn't for day to day use. It's for extreme situations, like being on top of a mountain where laying lines is difficult and warzones where explosions are constantly destroying your infrastructure.

You're speaking out of your ass. Even if we just talk about the US, "most people already live in an urban area" is false. Have you seen the Midwest?!? Rocky mountains? Appalachian mountains? You're so beyond ignorant of the issue and you just keep doubling down.

You should stop before you continue to expose your gross ignorance on the subject.

You realize the most significant use of satellite internet right now is Ukraine, right? Like you're aware that this has almost nothing to do with the US and is about starlink/Elon fucking with Ukraine and the internet they provide the military fighting in a war. Right? Like you're not that oblivious, right? You're not jumping in here suggesting they lay cat6 in a warzone are you? Cus that would just be foolish and make you look like a jackass, which I'm sure you're not.

Lol I was thinking of that as well. Exactly. If you can't rise yourself to the level of shoe throwing at the bare minimum, wtf are you even doing?

In Europe they would have thrown shoes at him. You can go through all the metal detectors in the world, but you'll still have 2 shoes. Just sayin.

Ummm we did? My pixel 9 pro is noticably smaller than my pixel 6 pro, much to my delight. Maybe stop buying the XL tablet phones and you'll find they're actually a reasonable size again. So many people in the comments rallying against an issue that isn't even there. You're just being told this is an issue. Do you even check for yourselves?

Less about size and more about size and relative distance. Think about being on Mercury and the entire sky is blazing sun - and yet it survives.

Exactly. If this minimal effort is keeping people out - GOOD. If you can't put the bare minimum effort in, then you'll just be another mindless TikTok type person and we really don't need those.

It's an article from Jan 20th. I don't think this is a new remark. I don't think anyone read the article because everyone's treating it like it's new.

...so.... content filters when? Let me limit it to certain subjects and I don't need social media anymore 😂

Ok, but we made a promise in the past to take Alaska and Hawaii with us too.

I literally posted a comment back then saying "sure is odd that this is happening right before the US election. Not saying it means anything, but maybe it's not a coincidence?" and got downvoted to hell lmao.

No, originally I said "Bitcoin is great if you don't use the blockchain", mocking the lightning networks existence because blockchain on its own is terrible for transactions. I never said they were almost comparable. They're not. One is a database that's been proven to work for all kinds of things, and the other is a techbros fantasy that wastes energy and is basically just tech stocks at this point.

Keep up.

I never said bots were the problem. I said people caring more about popularity is the problem and that once you realize this it's super easy to program bots to imitate people by up voting/down voting what you want. But yes, call me dense when you've misconstrued my argument from day one.

Edit: didn't look like my previous comment posted so I rewrote it. Considering how dense you are tho, maybe two versions will help you finally understand, so I'll just leave it.

Because I never said bots are to blame. People are and once you realize that, programming a bot to do what people can do is super easy.

I get offended when people try to tell me I made an argument I never made. But thanks again buddy 👍

Remind me again where Bitcoin is actually used vs actual databases. It didn't solve anything and did it in an energy hungry way. It's not "almost sort of comparable". All of the scams that immediately came about because it doesn't have the numerous regulations regular financial instruments have is proof. For the last decade Bitcoin has been struggling to reach parity with financial regulations. Ffs, the US PRESIDENT JUST PULLED A RUG PULL.

Blockchain is just digital speculation.

"They tried to break free but it didn't work".

You know we call that a failure, right? You're the one attaching emotion to it. Did it succeed? No. Thus it failed.

It's not semantics. It's basically logic. Maybe don't try and be a sophist. I never said it couldn't be tried again. In fact I said quite the opposite: you need to see this as a failure, address why, and make changes before trying again. But you're just stuck on the word "failure" and your own preconceptions. No one thinks this was a test of "just Bitcoin". The dark markets already tested Bitcoin thoroughly over a decade ago. This was a test of real world application of Bitcoin as a a government backed currency in the hopes of avoiding outside influence. Outside influence came in and managed to remove Bitcoin - the exact thing that was trying to be proved it was immune to.

But cope harder if it helps you sleep at night.

Try reading the whole thing and comprehending it as a complex thought with nuance. I'll wait. Might take you awhile but I'll wait.

You realize "it's so energy and time consuming that we had to create a secondary layer to try and make it actually usable" isn't the defense you think it is, right?

You miss my meaning. All the servers that your info passes through, all the cell towers, etc, can and in many cases do track you(even as just routine loggings). Thinking that running anything makes you more secure while connecting to a giant public network is naive.
