You buy 5 bitcoins for $450 each in 2016. It’s what you can afford. You sell them for $10,000 each in 2018, timing it decently just before a bigger drop.
Congrats on your $48k.

It’s a teen drama mostly aimed at teens, but with a sex scene.

Watch episode 6, skip the rest.

It’s perfectly logical. The Sun is loud as shit. Or it would be if there was air to transmit the sound.

People still play this one. mud.arctic.org
Though I didn’t mean it has to necessarily be text-based. More that that ancestral path was more interesting than the WoW one. This is what EverQuest was born from.
One of the bigger differences is that not everything was questing. You just explored, and part of your motivation to level up was the ability to explore places that were previously inaccessible.

Here’s a free one for you.
Discard pretty much anything learned from or after World of Warcraft. That game warped the genre for decades, largely for the worse.
Go back to MUDs. Iterate from there.

“find an actual progressive” aka 3rd party
lol no. You don’t get to strawman and then be a rude piece of shit about it.
- Comment on Stephen Colbert says CBS didn't air Rep. James Talarico interview out of fear of FCC 1 week ago:
Subservience to the FCC and the administration is the excuse. The real reason is that David Ellison is afraid the dem might win.
The majority owner of CBS is Paramount Global, which itself is controlled by Skydance Media, a company led by David Ellison (son of Larry Ellison), following a significant acquisition of the Redstone family’s stake in mid-2025.

Either that or it’s exactly what it says on the tin. I wonder which is more likely.

Thank you. I was just thinking that someone needs to grab this, and it was going to be a pita if I had to be the one to do it.

And it’s a hell of a brave thing Colbert and crew are doing in speaking out.
They’re patriots at a time when speech isn’t free.

I mean, I generally agree with you, but like most things this isn’t black and white. It’s a nuanced thing that needs to be handled with care. I get it; Large movements are terrible at nuance.
While we’re two years out from the start of the campaign, we can certainly encourage the Dems to find an actual progressive.
Hillary was better than Newsom. It’s funny that California Dems are blasted as the most liberal, when they might be the most conservative Dems outside of West Virginia.
Yes, anything is better than fascism. That point was more important 18 months ago, and might be more important again 12 months from now.
- Comment on Hopefully, he will be 6 underground by that time. 1 week ago:
On the other hand, this is a fine time for this conversation. We do have roughly a year to find a candidate that’s not fucking Newsom just because he could meme for a minute.
I don’t mind a few memes in our politics, but I do want there to be some kind of substance under the memes. And not the substance Magats have found under theirs, 💩.

- Comment on My feelings on the Super Bowl 2 weeks ago:
I was slightly interested in getting into it. Youtube had some 15 minute sample of Sunday Ticket. So I figured I’d catch the end of the Bears game. Why not.
13 of the 15 minutes were ads and the demo ran out. Iirc it was exorbitantly priced to continue, and you wouldn’t get everything.
- Comment on Unfortunate Development for Duke Poop'Em 3 weeks ago:
0:35 is the alleged shart. Within seconds he’s trying to wrap it up. At 0:39 he’s suddenly trying to immediately wrap it up. At 0:42 the woman in green arguably reacts. More reactions from the woman in green again at 0:47 and 0:53. At 0:51 he literally gestures the press out of the room without actually moving from his chair.
If this was a grand jury, you’d get an indictment for sure. It could not be a shart, but it looks like a shart, sounds like a shart, and the woman in green smells it like a shart.
- Comment on Unfortunate Development for Duke Poop'Em 3 weeks ago:
Declarations. Executive orders. Not bills.
Bills create law. He ain’t doing that. Most of what he does is not legal.
- Comment on Unfortunate Development for Duke Poop'Em 3 weeks ago:
It looks real to me. The reactions aren’t large, and maybe the shart noise at 0:34 could have been edited in, but… it all fit together with the way Trump and staff suddenly rushed the press out of the room.

- Comment on Can we have a boring and uneventful week for a change? 4 weeks ago:
Disagree. Could be true with their half-ass efforts towards climate change but I think with enough Hillary Democrat control we’d basically go back to the 1990s, which right now looks like the peak of human civilization.
Personally I think we can do better. The gains in efficiency we’ve made since the 90s, and there have been a lot, should mostly be going to the people. I think we should be thinking big with projects like real mas transit and freight, reducing our reliance on semis, and more local, green energy independence. I think we can achieve a $25 (2025) , adjusted for inflation min wage WITH a 32 hour work week for everyone.
I’d like actual progress. I’ll settle for the 1990s and rule of law. Neither are close to the actual fascism of Republicans.
I’ll vote for the first in the primary, and whichever of the first two win in the general. Kind of how our democracy works currently. Yeah, ranked choice would be better but for right now I’ll settle for one more reasonably fair fptp election.

Yeah, I don’t think that’s how it works. The people who do not have the grees.at some point are content.
It’s a mental abnormality that causes some people to act like cancer and consume resources obsessively.
- Comment on France will replace Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, Webex and others with its own sovereign video conferencing application "Visio" for public officials 4 weeks ago:
It’s also a consequence of low taxes on capital gains and corporate profits.
When those taxes were higher it made more sense to reinvest the profits back into your own company. You’d build a reputation and a structure that would pay out you and your family for a hundred years.
Now the dream is to build up a company just enough to sell it to some megacorp and cash out asap, with you and your family living off of investment money that only increases over time.
