Gotta make war before you can make peace

are we serious

No. We are not serious. But he is.

That’s metal.

Benefits of centralization: Someone can counteract harmful interactions.

Drawbacks of centralization: Someone can decide legitimate interactions are harmful.

It does suck when the “harmful interaction management system” goes haywire. But I’m not sure it sucks enough that I’d rather simply not have one.

Crypto grifters trying to capitalize on the payment processor censorship drama (by portraying it as pushing people towards crypto)

It’s as real as words are.

Iceberg lettuce?

4 romains

It’s always safe to assume the most obvious/crass motivations when it comes to xQc. His brain architecture lacks higher-level functions.

I’ve got this.

Crocodiles: Do not swim here

Conservative activists and sexual misconduct. Name a more iconic duo.

Good. Take em out. Anthropic is already bleeding out.

“Apologies. You’re right! I shouldn’t go ass-to-mouth! Let’s fix that…”

Retiring the US debt would retire the US dollar

I never played Descent itself, but I played a shitty clone on one of those “1000 Games on 10 CD-ROMs” packs back in the day.

After learning about the source material, I always wanted to go try it but haven’t taken the time.

They wouldn’t see what sites you give the tokens to — unless those sites choose to phone home, for some reason.

• You log in to the government site
• You ask for a token to prove your age/gender/whatever
• You copy the token
• You go to the age/gender-restricted site
• You provide the token
• The restricted site asks the government site how to verify any arbitrary token (but doesn’t mention your specific token)
• The restricted site verifies the token

So like, when do we get a government-run service to issue zero-knowledge proofs about us so companies have no reason to store stuff like this in the first place?

Well…

If the justice system didn’t have a systemic massive unjustified distrust of women, and it spontaneously reached the peak of equality on this specific metric, then there would probably eventually be a higher rate of false accusations.

And then we’d eventually end up with a latent mild justified skepticism of all sexes, and then we’d still end up needing objective evidence.

So it’d be kinda self-defeating, except for a handful of glory years. Now would be a fantastic time for those glory years, no doubt, but it’s not a long-term solution.

Thank you for everything you do, seahorse!

I have a handful of recurring donations, and this one makes me especially happy.

It’s disturbing, how many people eagerly embrace eugenics and anti-natalism as long as they can cite a left-wing cause like ecology as their reason
