Because idiots are in charge of more things than you'd think.

All top 12 hour. Subscriptions? Never heard of her.

Having to find an ATM to be able to complete a transaction

Much like cash an ATM isn't needed by a lot of people as they bank online and use cards. Crypto has all those options as well.

Point is here you either adapt or have to find a new job because old payment processors won't let you sell your Giraffe bukkake art. It is what it is.

I didn't "sell it for cash" I paid my VPS hosting bills with it. It's simple for business to accept crypto these days, couple clicks and they're set up.

If your business is making NSFW art than you better be willing to adapt.

What potato stays hot for 15 years?

Is it? The ATMs have been all over the place for half a decade at this point.

As for fees it cost me 3 cents to send a $50 Litecoin transaction a few days ago. If I did that with Bitcoin it would have cost me $8 in transaction fees so you're right there.

Now days there's a coin for every purpose.

• Bitcoin = gold bars
• Litecoin = mundane transactions
• Monero = digital cash

Crypto has been around for 15 years already. Time flys.

We better adapt soon becuse the village is dead and it isn't coming back.

I feel like I can still navigate through it because I did the previous levels but the difficulty is definitely higher.

We're now on level 35 and n00bs are still coming online. A kid or grandma have no shot at defeating the boss AI video or deepfake on this level, hell I don't even have a great win rate on them.

And you get crucified by them if you bring it up.

I understand battling the pull of phones and tablets with kids is hard but you're lying to your self if you think it's going to work out ok if you give in, every other kid has one how bad could it go really?

We all know this yet the ones with kids who need to do something about it don't, as a result kids are getting dumber by the year.

TV had a limited capacity to mess kids up and it largely didn't. Youtube and the internet on then other hand are in the vast majority of kids pockets with 0 restrictions.

Reading the first hand reports of what this looks like from /r/teachers will black pill you on the future quicker than any post on climate change or war.

I was a jean sleeper up till my early 20s. Not sure why, it just felt right.

Now I can sleep in gym shorts or jeans but prefer shorts. Anything less than shorts and REM sleep doesn't happen for me, my body doesn't like having it's guard down that much I guess.

It's an impressive FOSS project, scracthes the fast paced Quake itch but not a lot of people have that these days.

I use to play it's predecessor Nexuiz for years, you might recognize a few maps as some were updated for Xonotic.

Shout out to the crew who played on the HOCTF server. Had well over a 1000 hours on there.

Newer monitors are also good options. Usually they have enough HDCP compliant ports these days and none of the bullshit.

Pair with a sound bar or surround sound system and you got a great setup.

How can this be a legally enforceable contract?!

I'd like to think it can't be but it's the US so who knows.

Changing the terms after buying the device and in a way that your kid could accept them by hitting ok on the remote is bonkers.

This was talked about briefly in October but it's still flying under the radar imo. The Oct 7th attack took place on these very left leaning pacifist communties who believed in peace and liked to work with the Palestinians and their cause, more than most Israelis.

Many of the kibbutzniks who experienced October 7 can't bear to hear Arabic and want to see Gaza erased.

The trauma is stronger than their worldview

I was wondering if it might push those with that pacifist/hippy outlook on life to change and it appears it has.

When even the hippies are yearning for scorched earth tactics it doesn't bode well for winding down of military operations anytime soon. It also makes me think we're far more likely to see more serious military action roll into Lebanon within a few months.

TL:DR RIP peace. We never knew ye.

Oh Baby A Triple.mp3

You love to see it. Russia really can't sustain these Su-34 loses at this rate.

Like, why dont people who can just move?

Kind of a catch-22.

America is the best country in the world, if you're rich. Once someones earning a lot and saved up move to New Zealand money the appeal isn't as strong for most.

immediately go for northern europe

Oof. That's akin to moving there in 1938. Bit of a risky proposition to say the least.

I wouldn't move there now if allowed and I don't even have illegally move to Mexico money.

Then ignore

I do for most threads on the topic unless I missed my entertainment quota for the day.

But how many Palestinians were "eliminated" on the way to delivering

Thousands of people died in the allied Dresden bombing campaign in WW2, by design.

Hundreds of thousands died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Doesn't make the allies any less just in their fight. They did what was needed to win decisively.

Wars not pretty but often it's necessary if you want to live.

I just don't think that Israeli lives are any more or less important than Palestinian lives.

Sounds like complete pacifism. Is that correct? Is there a war now or at some point in history that you supported?

genocide supporting trash candidate who refuses to compromise

...with people who chant from the river to the sea yet cry genocide at every turn without a hint of Irony.

It's complete horse shit

I take solace in the fact there's not a damn thing you're going to do that will change a thing.
