explain how people artificially driving faster than they’re comfortable with is safer

idk how you can be upset about people driving safely

no one else going to point out that Logan Paul is somehow not the worst person in that picture

Great illustration 10/10, will make some people here very upset

Fr, funny how these alt-left mfers love democracy except when it turns out their candidate just doesn’t have the votes. If Jill Stein couldn’t win a majority of left voters via a primary, then how is she going to win a national election? And why can’t these alt-left parties ever start grassroots movements at the local level, instead they only care about presidential elections and just want to skip straight to the endorsement without winning any primaries, and if they can’t do that then they take their ball and go home?

Literally the first example you gave was shut down a year later: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoReality/comments/1mpeh9z/when_crypto_bros_are_asked_for_a_blockchain_use/

Pretty obvious that its use in the first place was some FOMO executives trying to get in on “blockchain” technology, just like they’re doing with AI and LLMs now. Funny how BTC and ETH both plateaued a year ago, right around the time AI became the new thing.

I’m not going to bother reading the rest, I already wasted too much time arguing with a true believer. GL with the crypto that you say you don’t have.

If there’s a low barrier to entry then you’re just reinventing POW because someone can run as many nodes as possible with minimal stake in order to maximize returns. Can you give an example of one successful “fixed rewards” Crypto coin?

I just looked at Circles’ webpage, and respectfully, that is a Ponzi scheme.

“Internal use only” blockchain is an oxymoron. If all contributors are trusted entities, then what does it matter if the data is stored in a blockchain vs any other data structure? If anything the amount of extra work to maintain and modify the blockchain in the case of errors just makes it unnecessary.

If that’s the best example of its many “valid, valuable use cases”, then it’s still a pass from me, dawg.

The only alternative to proof of work is proof of stake. And if the world ever ran on proof of stake crypto, it would make today’s wealth inequality look like a Marxist paradise.

Lol your prescribed alternative is to what, not vote democrat, so republicans win by even more? Who is the real fascist plant.

Your exact quote was “Walz has done nothing but finger wag”, then someone gives an example of positive legislation he did, and you immediately move the goalposts. Gtfo here with your purity tests.

I’m not sure it’s possible to be “too obsessed” with the executive branch breaking the law by willfully ignoring the authority of the legislative branch.

Green Party mfers can never be bothered to show up to primaries, but they sure are militant about getting everyone else to vote in the most convenient manner for a Republican win.

The global economy is definitely not being run by economists or anything particularly close to prescribed economic principles. Most countries are being run by some combination of authoritarian and/or populist governments whose economic policy is crafted to benefit either a small ruling class, or to win elections (voted on largely by people who don’t understand economics).

The most obvious example of this is the United States, which is the single largest national economy, and which keeps instituting tariffs despite “tariffs = almost always bad” being one of the first and most foundational tenets of macro econ.

You realize OP put Bernie in the fake leftist category, right?

From the article:

Vaughan was surprised to find it was often the technical staff, not marketing or sales, who dug in their heels. They were the “most resistant,” he said, voicing various concerns about what the AI couldn’t do, rather than focusing on what it could. The marketing and salespeople were enthused by the possibilities of working with these new tools, he added.

Not surprising the people with technical skills that aren’t actually replaceable by LLMs would be against forced AI adoption. Good luck maintaining a code base created with vibe coding. Meanwhile the CEO probably looks at ChatGPT and realizes it could basically do everything he already does (write emails and make high level decisions without actually having to worry about their implementation) and then incorrectly thinks it’s the case for everyone else.

If someone steals a physical land deed, there are relatively simple-to-understand methods of recourse for the original owner which will fix the issue.

If someone steals your NFT, then there’s virtually no chance of just identifying the culprit. And even if you could somehow find them, if they don’t live in the same jurisdiction as you then you’re still never getting it back.

Also you can’t right-click copy and paste land.

Youth vote turnout is always low, and it still net favored Kamala. Conversely Gen X vote participation was significantly higher, as expected from an older generation, and it was significantly more favorable to Trump.

I’m not saying Gen Z’s right wing shift isn’t concerning, but it’s more a future problem. The 2024 election result is owned primarily by Gen X and Boomers (and Gen X more than Boomers, statistically).

Gen X*

Those are all Gen Xers, and the Gen X vote was 100x more influential for Trump in 2024 than Gen Z. I doubt much of Gen Z can name a single Snoop Dogg song, or knows who Vanilla Ice is at all.
