I work for the federal government so I'm not really in a"boss makes a dollar, I make a dime" situation and my work is also interesting so during the 40 hours a week I'm at work, I'm very engaged.

When I used to work at Walmart, I put in the minimum amount of effort I could while also working "enough" to make the time pass faster.

I always found it strange how both sets of clothing can vary so drastically in appropriateness. We have pool parties every once in a while at work and coworkers will show up in bikinis, which is quite the extreme opposite from the work attire I'm used to seeing. If they show up in underwear they would be dealing with HR but because it's a swimsuit it's fine, even though they both cover just as much.

I mean it's sort of a bidirectional thing. If you told your coworker to strip down to their underwear at work with "come on, I see just as much at our pool parties" they would (likely) be far less comfortable. So it's an external difference and internal one.

"TERFs aren't feminists" is just some degree of no true scotsman. The definition of "radical feminism" doesn't make any claims about whether gender=sex or anything like that.

Like they're still wrong and plenty of people branded as being TERFs are so consumed by the TE part of it that they cease to spend any time on feminist issues.

there are basically two kinds of tokens - fungible and nonfungible. i'm not sure if semi-fungible is possible, though there's been some work into "divisible" nfts that work in a joint-stock manner, but that's outside my area of experience.

Let's just use Ethereum as our example. Suppose the Olympics wants to issue an "I attended The 20XY Olympics" token. They could just do this by having a ERC-20 smart contract with idk...25 Official_Olympic tokens and then each olympics they make a new smart contract for Olympic 20XY tokens, send an official olympic token to that (in order to validate that it is tied to the real Olympics smart contract), and then distribute the Olympic 20XY tokens to the appropriate people.

That's all I mean by "semi-fungible", because if you just want to establish "I was there", you don't need each one to be unique.

If you're meaning that this is just a remnant tied to your Olympic ticket, then I think you're just avoiding saying "ticketing" system.

TheMikh posted...
one scenario where you might want to transfer nfts of this nature is if you lose access to your seed phrase but still have your hardware wallet, in which case you'd want to quickly move your assets to a new address that you have the seed phrase for. or, to avoid this predicament altogether, you might want to move all your tokens to an abstracted (contract-based/programmatic) account which offers different security or user experience guarantees depending on its implementation. in short, when there's a world where accounts are secure enough to not need to transfer between accounts, they'll likely need to transfer to those secure accounts - which i'd imagine will be of the abstracted variety - from the standard/default/base-layer accounts.

I'm more saying that the abstract "value" of a "I was there" NFT is diminished if someone can buy my "I was there" NFT to claim to be there and I think that "someone might want to transfer between their own accounts" was potentially going to distract away from that point so I was trying to avoid that.

I understand why you might want to represent this in some way with a token, but I'm not sure that there's any need for it be non-fungible (this might be semantic, because depending on how you want to group them they could be "semi-fungible") and I don't know why you would necessarily want them to be transferable (let's say, in a world where we've somehow made accounts secure enough that people wouldn't want to transfer between their own accounts).

I think there's a lot of causal link to social capital and the happiness index scale when it comes to the housing market. Simply, unaffordable housing = miserable people. Miserable people = low happiness.

Unrelated to what I said. A country where no one is allowed to own more than one property and all property is ceded to the state on death isn't running the rest of the economy as standard capitalism. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, I'm just saying it's not just one step away from today.

Iamdepressed posted...
Yes, I was trying to point out that because the housing market is short term in Japan. You basically buy a house to live in for 20-30 years and it gets broken down as the land is used to build other homes (you don't get to own the land in most cases). This impacts the price of the housing market as it makes it deflationary. Who is going to buy a house when there's no investment value? That drives down the price of homes and makes it affordable to rent or purchase. People can use the money they would have spent on rent/mortgage and spend it on something else.

But these are all still owned by corporations/individuals. "Owning a house" isn't just about the physical bones of the house, it's about also having property and that you no longer have to pay monthly to some landlord who gets rich off of your payments.

Real estate in Japan still appreciates in value. Calling their housing "deflationary" is misleading.

D. Saying it's not "real" sex just sounds like someone trying to feel superior. "You didn't have sex the way that I define it, so it doesn't count"

Yeah but if you're someone who pays for sex because you feel insecure about the label of being a virgin, don't *you* believe the people having "real sex" are superior to you? Like if you're already signing up to the idea that it's "right" for you to feel bad about being a virgin, you're also signing up for those same people to say it doesn't count. Since you were doing it for their approval.

I guess I don't get the idea that "people say it doesn't count because they're insecure". The loser kid who orbits you who doesn't get any attention from women doesn't suddenly become a chad if he hires a sex worker to sleep with him. Why would that make a "real sex haver" insecure?
