- Comment on A real question about trans athletes and records 5 days ago:
In all honestly I don’t think amateur sports records matter and the people who say it does are only pretending to care about it to push their worldview.
I’ll buy “Sanctity of Sport” arguments when pro ports stops being a blatant gambling, alcohol, and exploitation ring. Nevermind the fact that PED use is prolific at the top levels of sport.
- Comment on YSK that you can save a lot of money in Colorado by using Bustang. It's a government-run bus service that offers great and frequent buses across the state 6 days ago:
Casa Bonita in Denver is literally the only reason I will ever step foot in the USA again.

why I don’t even bother watching anything
I can’t be arsed to watch something that will either be canceled after 1… or I’ll watch it but it will be delisted and now I need another service to watch what I already paid for.

They’ve eternally fucked up.
One thing that’s different about the 2020s vs the 2000s is the indifference between pirated and purchased content. Purchasing legally used to have perks. Digital purchases these days don’t even guarantee permanent access to the actual media.
Streaming interrupted the general public’s adoption of piracy and saved corporations asses. I don’t think they’re going to get another lucky break.
- Comment on Why do i tip my bartender $2 per drink and per bar food order but 20% when I order food from a waitress? Am I tipping wrong? 1 week ago:
Only you can answer that.
I give $1/drink at bars and cafes(not starfucks).
I give 15% to severs unless it was exceptional.
I give 10% to specific takeout locations because I want to support their staff and I don’t usually dine-in.
- Comment on Why people say they have a "boy cat" or a "girl cat" but when the cat grows up, they don't call is a "man cat" or "woman cat"? 1 week ago:
nostupidanswers? cuz there are no man cats or woman cats. That’s some weird chimera shiz.
- Comment on Meta appoints anti-LGBTQ+ conspiracy theorist Robby Starbuck as AI bias advisor 1 week ago:
That’s the most non-binary bigot I’ve ever seen.
$10 his legal name is Robin and he’s still deeply ashamed of briefly exploring his homosexuality as a teen.

We don’t really know that either way thb. AFAIK that kind of data is not public.

Any billionaire that wants to donate money to a cause won’t be giving it to an individual. Only an organization that can give them a tax receipt.

100% some dipshit got AI to write this after pissing of their intern one too many times.

“Save a plastic tree”
For decades the public has been gaslit into taking responsibility for the pollution that largely exists so that the rich can pinch a few extra pennies per dollar.

Yes my second paragraph alleged as much. Not that you read that far of course.

still don’t know how to monetize it.
They do know how to monetize it. API access generated $1Billion in 2023. There’s also huge R&D potential in fields like genetic research and medicine.
Profitability is another question though. Likely we’re waiting for advances in cold fusion or late stage renewable development for energy costs to go down enough.

- Comment on Whatever happened to the blockchain/smart contract 'revolution' we were told about? 3 weeks ago:
Well the value of the USD is based on the bond market which is essentially based on USA’s GDP.
I’m not saying stable coins don’t exist. I’m explaining the fundamental valuation difference between crypto and national currencies.
Also traded /= transacted. In the context of OPs question, the existance of stable coins has not pushed the needle on crypto from a trading asset to liquid transactable colloqueal currency.

It’s actively transforming global agriculture. While the USA failed to innovate Canada has integrated blockchain into it’s agricultural sector to facilitate unparalleled trackability.
-
Blockchain transactions are painfully slow compared to other payment processers. BTC is only 7 transactions a second. VISA handles 65,000 transactions per second.
-
Crypto currency isn’t backed by a nation’s GDP; which is effectively the mechanism that gives money value. However USA just passed laws recategorizing crypto issuers as financial institutions; that must comply with regulations such as having a % of their liabilities(crypto) as collateral (Cash). So we shall see where things go.

No oligopoly is when several companies control the market. Monopoly is when a single company controls the market.

Free market baby. I’d wager you have crypto wallet if you the kind of person who cares about hentai games. Go support the developer directly if it matters so much.
Hentai games are not going to make the 98% of people who don’t play them care about Payment Oligopolies.
