@stux Thats like arguing against encryption because bad people can use it to hide what they do. and some people might use that hide bad things.

Its hard for me to see why you think encryption should be allowed, when it can and is used to hide people doing bad things, but privacy and self-control over my money shouldnt be allowed for the same reasons?

@stux Yea the fact that you have **privacy** with your money with crypto is a feature not a bug... Crypto is like the firefox/librewolf of money where normal cash is like the microsoft edge/chrome of money.

@stux That is a fallacy of economics.. wealth is not a fixed quantity, things that provide utility cause wealth to be created (and can also be destroyed)... so no the money doesnt have to "come from somewhere".

@admitsWrongIfProven Whenever I go to Virginia I have a rule... anytime anyone ever says the word "Virginia" I have have to correct them and say "It is pronounced vagina!"

@stux I made a **lot** of money on crypto.. I invested in ethereum the first day it was released.

Never touched BTC though that one is kinda pointless IMO

@LouisIngenthron Sure ya do... yourself for not reading the manual and memorizing it... how dare you!

I refuse to call "Arkansas" as are-can-saw ... how the hell do you get "saw" out of "sas"... no it is ark-can-sass ... I will die on this hill.

@icedquinn i didnt actually see any of the marketing..

there was a lot of oddness here and there for sure, which is why i didnt get past the first season... but once you accept a few of the odd cringy moments the bulk of it was pretty good.

Hey at least it wasnt like that other star trek series with the spore drive, that spore drive was so stupid.

I never got past the first season of Picard first time I watched it... in the 3rd season now and man, its amazing. I mean it had a few cringe moments, but there was some really awesome moments too.

I dont want to give anything away, but if your a star trek TNG fan its worth a watch. Lots of cameos and great moments.

@icedquinn So wait... its racist to recognize a persons mixed race heritage..... so how are we supposed to refer to someone who is half black and half asian now?

@icedquinn wait.. mixed races are racist now.... man I am **not** getting all my memos!

@icedquinn I still want to know how LOTR movie got away with every single person being white except for orcs and trolls who were almost all black people.....

I feel like cancel culture missed a prime oppertunity with that one.
