Oh, we’re still talking about this?

Traditional views on morality? So that mean I am free to have sex with men in the Roman tradition?

This is getting too close to denying women agency for my liking.

Well what will happen is that US courts will declare it illegal, but after attention spans have moved on, so the end result will be that Iran just wins in the end, and oil gets more expensive.

The idea behind using distributed compute nodes for blockchain was that the blockchain itself would carry applications with commercial value, and the token itself would represent a share in that commercial value which would scale accordingly. There would be no reason to mine coins if those applications never materialized, so effort would always track alongside the intrinsic value of the network itself.

Bitcoin never developed any real applications, and the entire value was speculation. This meant people raced to mine coins as fast as they could, well beyond the intrinsic value of the app stack (which doesn’t exist). So now the network has effectively collapsed for all intents and purposes, but it is still needed for moving Bitcoin around, so the people who have huge investments already basically have to keep throwing money at mining in order to preserve the “liquidity” of their current stash.

What about porn which doesn’t involve any women?

Not really, it’s the exact opposite. There isn’t any more methanol in small scale shine than there is in homebrew beer. The risk is if you make a large enough batch that you can get a full bottle of just heads, and then decide to drink that for whatever reason. But even at moderate scales, that’s not going to happen.

Right, I was talking about the .ml goons.

It has always fascinated me how a bunch of people who have never been to China, and who don’t speak the language have such confident opinions about Chinese politics. It’s the exact same racist paternalism they constantly accuse liberals of, but with a triple dose of fart huffing.

I think going to see a comedian perform live, there is a certain level of consent to be exposed to controversial or offensive jokes, especially if they are known for that kind of thing. The problem is when that leaves the comedy club, and stops being a joke, and becomes “cover” for actual bigotry disguised as a “joke.” Far too many people think that because it’s funny when a professional says it in a stand-up show, it must also be funny when uncle Steve says it at Thanksgiving.

There is also the issue of punching down, and how that changes when you go from being a working comic doing small shows, to being famous and on Netflix. This is Chappelle’s biggest issue imo. The guy who made Half Baked isn’t the same guy who made Chappelle show, who isn’t the same guy who intentionally picks on trans people for shock value.

This is why I refuse to engage with internet fandom in most cases and absolutely reject the idea that staggered releases are valuable because of “the community.”

It honestly felt like it was trying to walk the line as low-key fetish content at times.

It’s not just a binary. It’s a BLOB!

We just need to breed two or seven generations of humans in tiny ship orbit and they will adapt.

Because it would be less fun

Nah, he’s just a pedo. Informed children are harder to rape. Though I guess you did say Christian values.

It’s impressive in the sense that it’s the second time they launched a mostly clean sheet heavy-lift rocket. It took spaceX dozens of exploding rockets before they could even think about putting humans on one. Just getting something that insanely complex working the first time is kind of incredible, and I say this as an engineer who works on much simpler things that almost never work perfectly the first time.

The entire franchise is just so fucking mid, I don’t understand why people worship it so much. The invented language in particular is cringe as fuck and sounds like shit a child would come up with.

That article specifically says they can’t determine if it is real or fake.
