that’s what I thought
- Comment on [deleted] 11 months ago:
You can retire off a million dollars easily. Just not in the most notoriously expensive places in the USA. What exactly is your argument?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
there are self made millionaires, they’re just considered lower middle class these days
this was the original statement being discussed
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
I believe we are talking about retirement, not supporting a family.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Then… don’t live in the most expensive places to live in the USA? All those places are NOTORIOUSLY expensive.

maybe not san fransisco but in most parts of the us you can retire off $1m can’t believe this is controversial

You can retire off a million dollars of assets easily

since when are millionaires considered “lower middle class”

If you actually look at the site for this event, apes get in for free. So you’re actually wrong on that.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Yeah but you need an ape to get in. I don’t even know why you are arguing. There are non physical status symbols people use all the time. That’s literally what nft’s are, status symbols. Or at least were during their hayday.

And this monkey picture gives you access to events.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Err what are you talking about? I was just explaining about how the blockchain this is based on doesn’t consume copious amounts of energy any more. I think you might have me confused for someone else. I know perfectly well how nft’s work, I think they are mostly stupid.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
What are you talking about? Did you respond to the wrong comment?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
How are they not intelligent? You are able to put in arbitrary prompts and its able to return an image constructed to your specifications. Seems you are being pedantic
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
You also don’t understand the power draw of blockchain verification
Sounds like you don’t understand. The blockchain that these monkey pictures are on do not use proof of work mining anymore, so there is no “wasting energy” anymore in the form of GPU/ASIC mining.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Not at all. Membership to a country club can be a status symbol, as an example.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Something physically existing or not is not what makes a status symbol. Are you implying something about energy consumption of blockchains? The network these are on (ethereum) no longer uses PoW mining, so the energy argument does not work here.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
maybe they’re just having fun. People purchase status items all the time and no one has a problem with it. There is nothing fundamentally different between showing off your 100k monkey picture with showing off your 100k watch.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
It’s not for you, that’s ok.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
what are you going on about libertarianism? this group is almost certainly not libertarian, they are more hypebeast/streetwear adjacent.

it’s just a party lol who doesn’t like parties

I am not a fan of Elon Musk but it is quite funny watching lemmy users because experts in topics way out of their leagues because they saw a tabloid article that gives them another reason to hate musk. I promise you that you are not smarter than the 100’s of engineers working on tesla cars.
- Comment on Tesla Vision fails as owners complain of Model 3 cameras fogging up in cold weather 1 year ago:
maybe its because you are blowing issues that affect a couple people and assume it affects everyone. like that time a tesla was flooded and the news went with “tesla’s can’t operate in wet conditions” and here you are repeating what you heard from tabloid articles.
In this particular case, it’s likely a manufacturing defect that caused the sensors to not be sealed properly causing moisture to get in. You are not smarter than 100’s of engineers. - Comment on Tesla Vision fails as owners complain of Model 3 cameras fogging up in cold weather 1 year ago:
Yeah i’m sure all these lemmy know it alls could produce a functional self driving car
