Fucking eh!

If you spend 10 minutes looking into Dolly Parton, you’ll find a Fucking Angel.

Legitimately. Look into her reading program. Not just the news articles, but the written deals. She makes sure that if her program is a success, that the county is contracted to keep it going FOR-FUCKING-EVER. Her legacy is generations of kids who graduate high school because she sent them books.

And that’s just ONE thing she did, with a legacy that will outlast every one of us.

We ride at dawn.

Yep, it’ll be opt in until they can turn it on without people noticing

Not really, no.

But this thing could be beat with a raspberry pi.

Even people sometimes just wake up day and snap for reasons beyond our control.

Now you’re generally right, most of these cases there’s some meaningful details missing and the “no history of attacks” is a lie.

We just can’t broadly apply that because we don’t know which one isn’t a lie.

Here’s the sad part, it really isn’t.

Right wing nutters like tucker are pressing both issues the same way.

Oops yep. You’re right

Hmm, I was under the understanding that it actually cancels out the pressure by creating a wave exactly 90 degrees off from the initial wave, creating reverse pressure and canceling the sound….

Not sure?

Maybe, but I have 34 reasons to believe he doesn’t care about election integrity

Reddit, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, all the major ones. I’d like to think that Reddit is less affected by it than the rest of them, but I’m not certain that is accurate anymore.

…… I call this “exhibit A” for why I’m on lemmy.

Agreed, but the allure of fame and Facebook/YouTube made this behaviour worse.

Or at least gave the mom the tools to make it worse.

It’s when they tried to monetise it and then figured out that “to make the most money, we need people to stay on our site the longest” that things went to shit.

The algorithms soon learned that echo chambers of outrage worked great to maximize viewership.

And we all suffer more for it.

The algorithms designed to keep you there and sell you more are the real poison there, but I can’t say you’re wrong.

Perfect. Zero notes.

Social media should not be for kids.

I’m Canadian…. Slightly different standards.

Even pitbulls are safe in the right hands. Fuck it, tigers and lions and silverback gorillas are safe in the right environment.

However a proper education in caring for the animals aswell as proper enclosures and a knowledge of the animal and its needs….

Yes you CAN do it, but should Tom from down the street have his own pitbull army and alligator pool in his back yard?

Hard pass.

I’m sure some people can do it safely, but training, registration, safety, etc…. Ban them all as pets unless you get X license, like a gun.

But none of them are REAL problems. They all have slow and albeit painful solutions, but they do work.

“Want to send 10k anonymously”

Who the fuck wants to send $10,000 to someone in a zero trust scenario?

Why are you sending 10K to someone without a legal paper trail?

The banks in China stopped giving people money because they couldn’t. You’re talking about a bank run, and these are societal issues that will still need to be dealt with. You think in a bank run, people will accept your monero?

You’re just going to be able to survive all societal ills will your buttcoin?

Most of these problems have already been solved and were short lived.

A central ledger is how we process transactions as a source of truth. The only reason the largest bitcoin holder isn’t revealed is because they’ve never spent a thing. The second they buy themselves anything, their shipping address is revealed.

You’re going to what…… buy property with bitcoin so that it’s anonymous despite your name ending up on the land registry?

Yes, when “money” falls, and the societal collapse happens, everyone’s going to trade in bitcoin.

Let’s bring it all together…. What are you buying with 10G where you need secrecy from everyone and are comfortable sending the cash in a zero trust environment?

“Combine all blockchains and they’d surpass credit cards”

I honestly can’t believe that’s a real argument you’re making, that’s just ridiculous. Especially given the number of rug pull scams there are with coins.

They aren’t currencies, they’re investment vehicles backed by nothing.

Block chain transactions aren’t as anonymous as you think, people can be easily revealed by looking at the wallet’s history and asking the last person you bought from “where the item was shipped to” …. Public ledger and all…

Ethereum can now process 1000 x 10 transactions. Visa currently does what, 80000 per second? Yeah it’s not quite 1/10th but….

How long until arbitrum reveals the rug pull? I’m sure it will be any day now.

Crypto is a solution to a problem nobody has. Need anonymous transactions? Here’s some cash. Need international anonymous transactions? Yeah, those are probably better being tracked anyways. And I say that as a privacy advocate. Yes, privacy matters, no international transaction privacy doesn’t.

Ya know what most “anonymous” international transactions are? Scams.

Let’s break this down to a single argument though…. Crypto is the answer to a problem nobody has. Smart contracts? For what exactly? Anonymous international transactions? What’s the need? As a society we’ve decided that some types of transactions are illegal. Yes, sometimes governments make things illegal that they shouldn’t, and authoritarians around the world make all sorts of things illegal that they shouldn’t… but for your necessities, they’ll all be available locally. And under an authoritarian enough regime, they can just inspect your mail anyways. Society requires trust, and that’s going to happen locally no matter what coin you use. It’s great that I can have a zero trust model for sending money, but it’s useless, because ultimately you still need to trust the person receiving it to do the exchange.

There isn’t a coin out there that can process 1/10 of the number of transactions that Visa does in an hour.

Anonymous vpns would still exist, as block chain existed prior to crypto.

Visa having the power they do is definitely a problem, however buttcoin is not a viable answer.

You’re right, it’s not a ponzi scheme, it’s the “bigger idiot” scam.

It pains me to say this as a great dog lover, and someone that has known some very loving pitbulls, Sadly not all dogs can be good dogs.

Like people, some are just born as “assholes”

But yes, breed temperament is a thing. Not an absolute thing, but still a thing.

Sometimes the breed temperament has more to do with it than anything else….

But also assholes all seem to like the same breed so….
