And yet not much of a surprise.

Which is just as risky as instantly updating unless you’re really closely keeping an eye on which updates are security related.

Thank you!

Absurd. I get that you want everything to be black and white. It’s certainly easier to just rage indiscriminately. But it’s not productive.

My theory is that he traded the release of these files. Still questionable at best.

Your real concern should be that Spez gets to censor what you’re reading in a real way.

Not only does he get to remove stuff that counters his narrative, he also can allow certain types of narratives to flood the site.

Editorial control is huge, and giving that to Spez seems insane to me. That, along with Facebook, 4chan, and every other social media is certainly how we got a shitty president who was basically nobody relevant until 2015.

Wouldn’t be the first time.

It’s an old tactic to reserve your name on every server.

stickers that say they accept Monero

If you’re holding the speculative asset you have incentive to promote the use of that asset.

How many people do you think actually pay with monero?

Fine. Whatever it takes.

Yeah, it absolutely can. Yes, every person has base dignity and worth, but I absolutely have more respect for people who make a living saving lives, for instance. I respect doctors, nurses, firemen, scientists, architects, construction workers, mailmen.

If you do absolutely nothing and provide nothing back to society, then yes, I have more respect for those other people who do serve their fellow man, generally.

The 600k number is dumb. We don’t need to make shit up to make this bad.

If they had marked which particular seats didn’t have actual windows, it’d likely be fine to keep the terminology.

Maybe, yeah. To some extent though, I think perception is reality.

I think if the overwhelming reaction is “nothing will come of it”, it makes it more likely that nothing will come of it. But the media is certainly acting like it could be more.

At least my friend’s reaction, “he’ll never be held accountable for his crimes” still acknowledges that he’s a criminal that should be behind bars.

I think billionaires are realizing he’s actually not good for the economy or their money after all. So they’re going to rightly use the truth to get this stuff to the right media this time and force him out.

He’s out by Valentine’s Day was my call. Of all the stuff he’s done, it may have been screwing with JPow and Lisa Cook that does him in.

You think it’s ghosts and goblins. I think it was a bad trade for more Epstein files in the hopes they’ll topple the emperor.

Do you have a strategy or just hopelessness?

Well, not all the way evenly. It’s fine to have relatively rich and poor. Money should be a measure of what your society owes you, and society owes my doctor more than it owes my deadbeat… whatever, who just doesn’t want to get a job.

Make that doctor as many lattes and avocado toasts as he wants.

Everyone working 40 hours a week should be able to ask their neighbors for things like “take my garbage from the curb to the dump” or “educate my kids” or “make me a sandwich”. That is the concept of money at its core.

We’ll say the going rate for a skilled worker is $100k a year with a working lifetime of ~40 years, about $4m in total. Ain’t nobody out there that deserves the lifetime’s work of 250 people working solely for them, 40 hours a week, ~44 weeks a year. (That’s about a billion dollars.) Yeah, maybe you can control that many people or more if you’re working towards a common purpose and providing value for others, but that would be a billion dollars in gross income that’s redistributed, not net profit for one person.

That’s not what the phrase “dark pattern” means.

“nuh uh” is shorter. Might save you some time when people continually post evidence.
