- Comment on How do I start a crypto wallet 2 days ago:
Yeah no worries. Didn’t mean to sound defensive. Making sure people know that pumping a coin isn’t the same as a pump and dump, and yeah, anyone getting into crypto should definitely know about all the rug-pulls.
- Comment on How do I start a crypto wallet 2 days ago:
Didn’t call it a Pump and Dump for a reason.
I knew the people involved and it looked like they were legitimately trying to develop a product. It was 50/50 pump scheme/real project, since they never did a rug pull. They were honest with themselves about most investors not a shit about their project, who going to sell high anyway.
- Comment on How do I start a crypto wallet 2 days ago:
I say this as someone who’s been involved in cryptocurrency, in some way, for almost a decade: Do not look at it as a source of income. That’s my warning.
Most the money I’ve made ofd crypto was by accepting it as a source of payment for freelance work, and selling when the price went up. I’ve made only one lucrative investment on a token and it’s because the developer team was a friend of a friend, I only spent the money I could easily afford and pulled out early, once it tripled. Don’t fall for FOMO, even if you could have made more money.
If you go forward, stick with media put out by the major, legitimate exchanges. They have a lot of information on how to get started.
Stay away from crypto-bro hype schemes, do not buy/trade anything from any project/company that isn’t legitimate, with a strong social media presence and a community.
However, you can make good money off pump schemes if you’re in their communities and keeping and close watch on what they’re doing.
Sign up for airdrops of new tokens and coins, shit you can get for free just by joining/signing up for something. A lot of times it’s trash you’ll never get rid of, sometimes it’s free money.
I’ve been using metamask as a wallet for years, it’s one of the most accessible platforms and has a lot of information and support on how to use it.
For the love of god do not look to NFTs as an investment.
Never, ever, spend money you can’t afford to lose.

This is called a ‘Hyperbole.’
I didn’t realize I was giving fascists a reason not to stop being fascists.

that’s super weird and also I think fascist somehow
- Comment on When you take a moment to think back at your High School years 2 weeks ago:
Steve’s still just as fit as ever, he even offered his truck so I didn’t have to pay movers. My kid likes to play with Clara’s on weekends, while she tells me the funniest stories about customers. She’s seeing someone new she’s pretty excited about. We’re all in a band and we practice in my garage on weekends, I don’t mind hosting. I’d rather fill that space with old friends than bitter memories.

- Comment on How can I properly learn deaf sign languages? 2 weeks ago:
Bumping because I’m interested, too. I tried teaching myself ASL, hoping to find a good, free app. The only decent resources I found were paid.
- Comment on Rule 34 rule 3 weeks ago:
Wait, you don’t imagine elaborate narratives where, say, Adrien Brody’s car breaks down in a stretch in the wilderness with nothing but your cabin for miles. So he walks toward the only structure and I’m there studying mosses and it’s so remote I have a sat phone I let him use to call for help, but it’ll be a while so I make him some tea and we get to talking. Night falls before help comes so I light a fire in the pit and let him borrow a sweater I stole from an ex and pull out a bottle of whiskey I was saving for something special but it’s special enough. It keeps us chatting untill the early hours when a tow truck finally shows and I see him off. When I get home from my studies I find a package waiting for me—it’s the sweater he borrowed, a thank you card, and a bottle of fine whiskey?
(I’m uncomfortable sexually fantasizing about real people.)

- Comment on Are there any initiatives aimed at training generative AI using 100% public domain works and works authorized by the creator? 3 weeks ago:
That’s my point. We don’t allocate energy resources based on importance, and when this argument is brought up there’s no scale for comparison when someone says AI, specifically, is destroying the planet.
- Comment on Are there any initiatives aimed at training generative AI using 100% public domain works and works authorized by the creator? 3 weeks ago:
Do we know how energy usage of AI compares to other daily tasks?
Like: rendering a minute of a fully animated film, flying from L.A. to New York, watching a whole series on Netflix, scrolling this site for an hour, or manufacturing a bottle of tylenol?
How does asking AI “2+2” compare to generating a three second animation in 1080p? There has to be a wide gamut of energy use per task.
And then the impact would depend on where your energy comes from. Which is a whole other thing, we should be demanding cleaner, more efficient energy sources.
A quick search on energy consumption by AI brings up a list of articles repeating the mantra that it’s substantial, but sources are vague or non-existent. None provide details to be able to confidently answer any of the above questions.
That’s not to say AI doesn’t consume significant power, it’s saying most people don’t regulate their lives by energy consumption.

I agree, an argument can be a narrative, too. One where the dickhead is the second person.
- Comment on What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments? 4 weeks ago:
Appeal to Fallacy. It might not be a fallacy. A fallacy doesn’t make an argument wrong. There are degrees of fallacies. Claiming a statement is wrong because there might be a fallacy is a thought-ending argument. There’s more nuance and relatability in rhetoric. Refusing to engage because someone’s using a fallacy is reasonable, but calling it by name isn’t a magic spell that forces someone to throw in the towel.

It’s not a bigoted one either.
“I like feminine people of all genders, what is that?”
“Normal.”
We don’t know OPs gender, but it doesn’t matter. All sexualities are normal.

It…really doesn’t. OP’s gender isn’t mentioned, either.

- Comment on What would I need to do to successfully paint with my own menstrual blood? 5 weeks ago:
A guy in my art school made a piss sculpture. He collected it in jars every day and then arranged them like pixels on a rack. It was neat to see the colour variation, since he deliberately ate things to try to get more hues.

I could draw genterbent sonic bukake with broken restuarant crayons and it would still be art.
In a way, even the act of gatekeeping art is kind of a performance piece. You, my friend, are an artist.

I did. Specifically this part:
Im not promoting their use. They are symbols of feelings that many of us are having right now. Just like the guillotine.
But we aren’t going around building guillotines. At present, Ive not seen any riots in the U.S nor use of either of these except on Nazi cars on dealership lots.

How dare someone make art that represents their feelings toward current events.

Well done. What materials did you use?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Setting boundaries on your time with the AI, especially around sharing personal information, would be best. I don’t see anything wrong with how people spend their time so long as they set healthy limits.
Make sure you understand how AI works, too, it’s not a substitute for therapy because it’s designed to be agreeable and validating, but won’t give you feedback or suggestions.

Is this an angelfire website in the 90’s? Who the hell though a background amalgamation of moving images was the best way to present printed media?
I just can’t with these websites anymore. I find it almost impossible to read when there’s a embedded video as it is.

I’d say it’s about that, because that is one of the things that group is about, the group that this person wants to join.
