| Sad_Face 06/18/21 6:21:05 PM #13 | Derwood posted... Have they figured out how to do crypto without using 1.21 gigawatts or electricity yet? Long time ago. Proof of Stake is the type of distributed ledger tech that you're looking for as opposed to the Proof of Work style of the Bitcoin network. However, you're trading security and how power (authority in this sense) is distributed between the network participants. PoW, you have to actively contribute to the network to gain control. PoS, you can just buy your way in. There are people who argue that you can buy your way in with PoW as well; some mega institution or government could funnel money into buying the facilities to take control of the bitcoin network but in execution, it's considerably more difficult to execute. But here's a good article on accepting the cost of the bitcoin network. https://www.coindesk.com/the-last-word-on-bitcoins-energy-consumption --- |

Bankers are laughing at fools giving them their money as they offer "crypto". https://en.ethereumworldnews.com/chainlink-may-gain-prominence-over-bitcoin-citi-report/ Citi Group released a research paper speculating that the Chainlink network would grow bigger than the bitcoin network (which isn't a profound statement if you already understood chainlink). On top of that, DeFi offers rates at >10% interest compared to super savings accounts for 0.01% interest and the super elites getting access to yield accounts of 2%. We're moving to a bankless world. You're fighting a losing cause at this point if you keep ignoring and rebuking crypto. --- |

| Topic | ITT: Advice for poors |
| Sad_Face 06/17/21 2:59:32 PM #16 | In all honesty, everyone should learn about investing especially in the crypto world. The entire world is fighting for dominance using the technology and will change how the world conducts business like how the internet changed the world for sharing information. Even if you don't have the money, the knowledge will be invaluable for when you do have the money to invest. And $10 will go a long way over the course of a few years. I had a friend who I invested $10 in Chainlink for and she was shocked it was worth over $600 when she finally got around to making a wallet. I know this post will fall on deaf ears but it's worth throwing out there since everyone in investing wishes they did it earlier even when they had no money. --- |

So why do what made it popular. This is my biggest problem with these types of reimagining projects. If you're going to go that far with the changes? Why use the IP? Just do your own thing and stop mooching off of the fame of the legendary franchise. --- |

Adding a few underground caves and lake beds isnt nearly enough. That's the point of exploring the sky which stretches across the continent. You have a brand new world to explore literally on top of the old one. And they can still redesign the old world and expand upon it to show each of the villages' growth over the past 2 in game years. You can bet Tarrey Town is going to expanded into a full blown village. --- |

| Topic | Women do like assholes |
| Sad_Face 06/15/21 11:21:40 PM #27 | CHM_Punk posted... I remember an episode of the Romeo Show on Nickelodeon on this subject. Women have it ingrained in them to nurture and the appeal of the bad boy is to help change them and make them a better person that has their shit together. Unfortunately, that fantasy is a lot more difficult for the ladies to achieve when the dude is a grown legal adult continually being a dumbass vs. a naive little kid with troubles in middle school. This is incorrect. Girls are attracted to power. A bad boy in the eyes of younger girls have control over their lives and have the power to do what they want. A girl being able to land a guy and get him to commit to her will see herself as higher value in relation to her peers for accomplishing this. The maternal instinct and nurturing nature kicks in when they see a kid or man in tears or emotionally vulnerable. That's when they come in to console them. Unfortunately for men, this comes at a price as then girls will see those guys as less attractive. This is where the old adages of "never show your emotions around girls" and "Real men don't cry" come from. It's not out of toxic masculinity but cultural rules to protect your relationship. --- |

A group is going to serve the interests of their own first before catering to others. I suppose it differs from geopolitics as it analyzes ethnically diverse populations and creating a general identity where everyone can claim with pride would be a tall order if America is anything to go by. No one wants to solely say they're "American", there's always some extra identity appended. --- |

Let me rephrase, this topic believes that white folks are barred from using the word. Black folks are allowed to use it however they please. Therefore, there are no consequences for me in using it. Come on, put 2 and 2 together. RickyTheBAWSE posted... you really don't even belong in the conversation since you have nothing of substance to contribute. knowing that, you just repeat conjecture and nonsense to derail.Then explain how it's ignorance. I've already explained how Hunter is not being racist there and is only calling his lawyer his ____ because he thinks it's cool to say. In fact, I had an Indian friend who listened to rap music and other popular hits all the time and called me his ___a, it wasn't at all malicious or out of disrespect. Of course I had to remind him to be careful using that word because there will be types that will get fussy about his usage and this was back in 2013 or so. Using the n word doesn't inherently make you racist, like everything else, it's how you use the word. --- |

By this topic's logic, I'm well within my rights to spam the hell out of that word. But this hypocrisy is bad for race relations as a whole. Either everyone is allowed to use it hail up their buddies or no one uses it. So do you have a rebuttal that you want to articulate on? Or are you going to give another condescending handwaving nonresponse like everyone else who replied to me? --- |
| Topic | Hunter Biden repeatedly called his white lawyer the N-word |
| Sad_Face 06/10/21 9:34:18 PM #53 | FortuneCookie posted... They should just have every Black musician do a Band-Aid style collaboration called, "You Don't Get to Say That Word." Maybe that will make it apparently obvious for those who've missed the memo. Why use that word in your lyrics if you don't want a specific demographic, who you know will listen to your music and is a big factor in your success, to say the word? I remember Kendrick Lamar making a big fuss when he let a fangirl on his stage and she ecstatically rapped the lyrics to the current song but didn't censor herself. If you have that much of a problem with who uses your word, stop using it. Making a fuss about it just furthers the divide between races and comes off as hypocritical when one race is demanding equality but wanting special treatment at the same time. --- |

| Sad_Face 06/09/21 6:16:53 PM #38 | Lost_All_Senses posted... Drunk white people DEFINITELY use the N word more. But that's just as telling. Telling that you don't actually understand anything about it and only hold back because you don't have the courage to say it. s***s so damn awkward. Look at it this way, a significant number of super star celebrities are rappers who use and abuse the "n word" in their music. Their music appeals to a large population in this country (the US) as well as the rest of the world. The majority of citizens in this country is white, meaning they think rap music, and consequently the use of the n word there is cool. Because it's cool, they'll emulate it. This has absolutely nothing to do with racism. If something is to be done to change this, then the source that influences and enables people to fling the 'n-word' around should be targeted; i.e. rappers who all spam it in their music and sell to the very demographic that others don't want mimicking. Until then, if mega star rappers are going to perform for the white demographic and take their bloody money, everything they use to appeal to them is fair game. --- |

Reminder that this meathead got an athletic scholarship because he throw ball and run gud, while people who are actually intelligent and want to do a job that isn't completely useless cannot get funding or go into student debt for 20-30 years. His success playing a role in winning games draws attention to the home city which creates opportunities for other businesses to profit off of. On top of that, it builds pride for the community and creates a sense of identity for the denizens of the team's city. Even better, a number of athletes don't get paid proportionately to what they're able to contribute, but this will soon change with the advent of blockchain tech, NFTs, and the sort. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny6FW2JkDqk You don't have to like sports, but you should respect how it generates wealth and brings people together. --- |

Someone you can joke with, someone that's driven, someone that can operate independently from their relationship. There's lots of traits you could be looking for aside from "soft spoken and won't argue with me" if you want a healthy, equal relationship. Because at the end of the day, when you're charting your direction for your life that involves big career changes and if you're in a relationship and both of you want to make it work, someone has to capitulate and follow the lead of the other person. Most of the time, it's the guy who is initiating these changes because he's expected to bring home the bacon and make sure the bills are paid. As a consequence, women are expected to play the support role. --- |

This is the point of why it's important to discuss the effects and consequences and not just blow people off when they ask "Why is X bad"? Pornography is literally weaponized and blasted on Palestianian television by the Israelis as they know how addictive it is and to kickstart kids' habits early and drain their motivation. And that's not in the league of this topic's scenario where a kid is directly exposed to the action live and think this is normal and want to emulate the kid's parent. --- |

Selling it like it's a personal success story is disingenuous at best. This is the secret to creating generational wealth, having a strong family unit to leverage each others' strengths to build wealth. It's fine and dandy if you make it all on your own, but it's more economical, it's more feasible to work with support from your parents. This doesn't have to be as big as having your parents pay for your education, it could be as small as still living with your parents so you don't have to pay for rent. I'm almost positive that the Forbes self made billionaires list series is a psyop to encourage people to deliberately shoot themselves in the foot and discourage them from asking their family for help. --- |

But assuming that's true , I think Twitter as a private platform, get to choose what to host, and people get to decide whether Twitter policies are rational or not. This happened almost 10 years ago. Currently, Twitter is way too large and influential as a platform, a significant portion of the population use it as a source for information. It shouldn't be a private platform, that's too much power for a single entity with an ability to suppress, and pick and choose which information they want to rise to the limelight. Anyhow, unless Twitter figures out how to adapt to blockchain tech, it's going to get killed in the transition to the smartcontract revolution. --- |

An important part of her question was the *not getting assets enough to be able to change the world*. He ignored that part of the question. But to be fair, that part has to be ignored, because her question, with that included, basically is asking "how do you do X when Y stops you 100% of the time". Well, in that case, X is impossible to do. There's an old adage I'm reminded of, something along the lines of "to best help the world, take care of yourself first". Basically you make sure you're living a sustainable life and not being a burden. From there, you can reach self-actualization and produce and contribute significantly to world and community around you. Reading your post and then going to the video, I understood Petersen perfectly, but this is a difficult question to answer and the answer is going to be even more difficult to believe since it's not a straight forward answer and it requires the understanding of the adage I mentioned. People have more power than they realize, from being able to influence others just by their lifestyles alone and their own personal successes, and it's very difficult to quantify but there are opportunities available to those who are creative and/or daring enough to find them. These are going to sound like hollow words until you experience this for yourself. This is why OP was so hostile to your post. --- |

Based off a true story (which gives you a launchpad to give them a research report assignment) and it's very inspirational. Note there is some nudity, where there's this one scene where he meets a European couple (where the wife was topless) hanging out near a lake and they share lunch together before he continues along his travels. Other than that I don't think there is any other potentially inappropriate scenes besides another couple giggling inside a tent at a distance (but the scene moves onto the next morning and nothing is explicitly mentioned or shown) or another girl trying to lead him on in her trailer home before he turns her down. --- |
