Marxist indoctrination

As opposed to good old fashion American indoctrination.

Twitter threads are a confusing mess to look at and usually I can't figure out OP was trying to convey by posting a link to 30 tweets that probably should have been a text post somewhere.

I suspect that dark-mode-everywhere fans turn up their monitor brightness way too high and then complain about bright mode websites.

This weird contrived strawman scenario is an insult to people with disabilities.

So then you'd be in favor of Universal Healthcare, subsidies for gym memberships for low income individuals, stricter regulations against lying/misleading in fast food/junk food, and stricter regulations/penalties for pollution?

This is why it's basically illegal for businesses to ask someone to prove they need their service animal.

It's annoying as duck to 1.) have a disability in the first place and 2.) have every random person ever acuse you of lying about it for literally no reason.

being able to skim off the top of second hand sales

Steam's current strategy of "no second hand sales" (but better sales and distribution instead) really beats anything NFT has to offer and doesn't require forcing a blockchain and mintinv fees into the scenario.

True, but if you invented writing today and decided to record a 500 year old story, in that scenario are you really likely to be able to discern what the term flood meant back then, or if the word flood was even in the original story? Hundreds of years later people who weren't there are going to get lazy with the details.

but there is no public reaction about the soviet union

There's literally non-stop public reaction against the Soviet Union, a country that stopped existing 30 years ago, especially in threads like this that are completely non-political. Case in point, you, congrats on being the first person who thinks watch connoisseurs are committing wronkthink by talking about watches.

You need a chrome/FF extension that adds to every comment an extra sentence like:

- "I disagree with Stalinist grain policies"

- "The Soviet Union murdered millions"

- "I think the Ukrainians are right to complain about the USSR"

- "They were too many gulags if you think about it"

- "But of the course, the Soviet Union was bad"

- "Stalin? No, I disavow him"

Then you don't have to derail a thread about watches to defend the Nazis and United States from the ghost of Stalin.

That's incentive for someone living in silicon valley to not do it, but outside of the hubs most of the United States has miniscule demand for tech workers (using that term very loosely), and the majority of the world would average out to something like "30k, but the job only exists if you live in the capital".

The scene with the mountains and the cloud was really cool. After that, there was some build up but kind of just went nowhere. "Here's some circles, now you can hallucinate the future" was overall a pretty underwhelming drift into fantasy.

Much better explaination than that nonsense about off-screen wizards casting bootstrap spells onto the hexcubes.

It also somewhat bugs me that pretty invariably the folks that crap all over these movies are huge Trek or Babylon 5 fans, shows that have endless literal magic in them, and they're just fine with it.

Interstellar was heavily hyped as being "realistic".

Meanwhile Microsoft and "app" developers are training normal users to avoid updates by continuing to push anti-user updates...

Also the "I'm withholding simple answers to simple questions until you give me a full backstory".

Then don't make them devine

Nobody is making them devine, they do it themselves and pat themselves on the back for reading that XY problem article and spamming XY "answers" everywhere.

Discord offers a chatroom, not a forum.

Allow me to introduce "Fallacy Fallacy", the fact that someone might have arrived at a conclusion via a fallacy does not mean the conclusion is false.

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater

But in the case of NFTs, there's no baby in the bathwater.

I understand why somebody would buy a baseball card, even if I would never want to. I understand why someone would right-click and download a jpg of a baseball card, or screenshot one, even if I would never want to.

But when you add "pay $100 in etherium for a reference to a publically jpg hosted on some website" you completely lose me.

you're trying to live somewhere that you chose to live precisely because it was more exclusive

*didn't get lucky when searching for a unit

source: got lucky so I don't pay $1400/month, still live 1hr away from work.

It sounds to me like you're just OK with children starving unless it benefits you to point it out.

Another thought, an advanced bitcoin miner type thing uses new physics where the environmental destruction used to power it is basically to increase the progress of the Big Rip (perhaps only locally though), but maybe the reason we always thought expansion of space was always happening is because older aliens were already doing the same thing for their blockchains.

Why would YC give their hard earned money to the lazy poor startups when they can give it to hard working companies like Microsoft and IBM?

This is where case where it's worthwhile to talk to cops: if there is potentially verifiable evidence of innocence that stands a good chance of diminishing as time goes by.

Might want to think twice about that, you might be replacing one allegedly innocent suspect with a suspect you know for a fact is innocent, yourself.

The ones that were able to keep their anonymity and didn't engage in fiscally irresponsible behavior like drug purchases and $200k+ vehicles are probably very happy after 10 years.

Most people are using something like laravel or rails that has auth scaffolding built in for you, so both outsourcing and rolling your own are obscure dirt road paths that are rarely suggested.

Somebody just wants to choose their operating system without the whole market being coerced by a large hedgemonic monopoly and then you yell down from your ivory tower that everybody but you is arrogant.

I never read 1984, but generally would not have been able to guess that 1984ing was going to be a grass roots phenomenon.

You're gaslighting into "The sky is blue is just your personal opinion" terrority.

implying that everyone else is not against fascism.

Weird how you take them opposing fascism and you doing nothing about fascism to correctly conclude that you're doing nothing about fascism but then baselessly blame them.
