Green flags: a technology that is actually novel or useful. Monero is wonderful for privacy. Nano is great for microtransactions (see NanoGPT). Ethereum is great for smart contracts. Stablecoins are a good currency replacement in hyperinflation countries where there’s no better alternative. Crypto is a fantastic advancement of finance technology. Please don’t see them (all) as scams. I would argue don’t see them as investments at all.

Flapjacks*

“Some”

“Think of the Children Gun Safety Reform Act”, a 1,000% tax on guns. Guns now cost about $10-100k each.

Why do you think the article is upset at Vance? He should have said “We borrow money from them to buy the things they manufacture.” Mentioning ethnicity or the word peasant is clearly racist. Even if he wanted to drive it home, he could have said “We borrow money from these victims of slavery…” but it wouldn’t have made any sense of course that way. It was racist.

If you use these services, please donate once or regularly if you’re able. They are free as in puppy, not beer - dev work costs money. I would guess many people using Tor/privacy tools are tech savvy enough to have financial comfort due to a good career. If you do it you’re doing an everyday act of rebellion for the sake of progress!!!

Right but it’s a nicer word to use imo.

They are victims, not “peasants” or “serfs”.

They are pretty conservative now though. It sounds liberal but they slip misinformation and doubt in to make everyone more moderate. Plus sensational claims that lend credibility to right wing critique. That shit works like a charm on my parents, they’ll say “we hate Trump. But you have to admit Joe Biden wasn’t fit for office, he had classic early dementia… Kamala just didn’t seem experienced enough”. They voted Democrat but there’s more doubt and misinformation now, they’re smart people too ☹️

Misinformation is one helluva drug.

“You’re so stupid, do you only look at charts? There’s a lot more to it than data, Trump is making decisions you can’t even comprehend. You don’t understand the greater plan, you can’t always be nice to other countries, we can’t bail out Canada and Ukraine if we want to be great.” Probably that from the “smarter” ones, blank stares and drooling from most.

In 20 years after all journalists are fired or leave, The Onion will be the only news outlet left.

There is a precedent for lawlessness. Literally anything is constitutional now, you just do it and ignore the court ruling. Where have you been the last decade?

Agreed the problem was baked in during the Ohio Compromise and at other times, it has nothing to do with population size because we’re talking about a small number of elites, not popular will.

This IS what fighting back looks like. It takes many forms.

If you shoot him with a wad of cash, it’s legal. His actions in Wisconsin set a precedent that you can hurt people directly as long as you give them some money in return.

Interesting premise. If we use rocket launchers full of cash to break Tesla windows, does it then become legal? Musk’s actions in Wisconsin are a strong precedent here.

Not trans, darn that’s 43 pastors in a row.
