At least Dad got to touch something for his money. NFTs don’t even deliver on their sole mission statement
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
What was their mission statement? Here’s a picture that you own the copyright of? I don’t see how they could ever make sense unless they were legitimately fabulous images that people loved and wanted to buy prints of

The amount of money spent is the deciding factor. If it was like $10, people waste money all the time. If it was more? Gets stupider by the dollar.

Provenance is the biggest issue in Art. NFTs aren’t stupid, thinking that computer generated ape artwork with no actual scarcity is a good investment is stupid.
merc@sh.itjust.works 3 hours ago
NFTs are stupid. Provenance only matters when it comes to the ownership of art. For the real purpose of art, the viewing and appreciation of art, it doesn’t matter at all.
For digital art, provenance only matters if someone wants to create artificial scarcity by applying intellectual property laws to art. Trying to make digital things artificially scarce is stupid.
musicalphysics@discuss.online 2 hours ago
Of course provenance matters in appreciation of art. Do museums put up fake artwork or do they only try and show actual pieces from the artist.
People who buy art absolutely care if the artwork they paid for is genuine. Collectors absolutely care if they can prove they own something that others don’t.
Sure, if you don’t care about artists getting paid at all, or you don’t care about authenticity, then NFTs aren’t for you.

this seems like something my dad would do, deservingly to be fair. I’ve gotten up to some pretty stupid shit
for example I currently have a sprained wrist from falling off my unicycle during my break at work.
Peasley@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
I always tell people “you can’t fall off a unicycle”. I’ve actually fallen once and nobody was around to see.
99.9% of the time you can easily dismount, but once in a while you can actually fall
QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 4 hours ago
that’s very true, I’m not the best at free mounting and often bail 3 or 4 times before I actually get going.
what happened that made me actually fall and not just bail is that the road was at an angle and I had my psi a bit too high so it kinda popped out from under me.
I caught myself with my hands, scraped one of them and sprained the other. Also scraped my knee too. I used to have wrist braces but I lost them when I moved and haven’t used it regularly enough to get new ones. I probably will now 😅

Hahaha I had to scroll back and come back here because I couldn’t believe it.
Your photo on unicycle is 3 posts down below this one on my Hot-All feed xD
I wish you quick recovery :D

I once said I should do a thing and break a bone and then I did the thing a few times until I broke a bone. ^-^

I have looked back on some really stupid thing I did and wondered why no one in my family called me out. Not that I blame them. It’s just weird to me that I smoked cigarettes all those years and they never gave me shit for it. My brother even gave me a fancy lighter for my birthday once. Again: not their fault I was an idiot but telling someone they are being a dolt can be an act of love.

I never tried a unicycle but really want to because I think I’d be good at it. Do the skills from regular bike riding no handed transfer well?

Tbf, we don’t know when the NFT was bought. I firmly believe that people have the right to be dumb, especially as kids. His dad making fun of the NFT, depending on when it was, is also a show of “you were dumb as shit”, a sentence which emphassises “were” - which is past tense. “Comparatively to your present self, you were dumb” which ‘inverted’ is also “Comparatively to your past self, you are smart(er)” and they should be proud of themselves for their personal development and growth.
For clarity, no matter when one buys an NFT, it’s just a dumb thing to do, not saying otherwise; I’m approaching this exclusively from an emotional standpoint to ‘when’ someone does something stupid and ‘whether’ they ‘grew out of it’.

Well, who raised that idiot?
SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
At some point you have to take responsibility for yourself. You cant just blame every failing on your parents.
Funkt4st1c@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
Its the first step in therapy.
Blame parents, forgive parents, realize you now control your future, realize youve controlled your actions and future the entire time, forgive yourself.
Most people are hovering step 1 and 2, or skip over step 2
Malyca@lemmy.zip 3 hours ago
You can blame some though, like a failing in critical thinking is a failing of how a person was raised.

My parents did a lot to model being smart with money and only one of their kids (me) picked up on it. Kids often love being the opposite of what they’re taught, no matter how much it hurts them.
wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 3 hours ago
The thing about people who buy NFTs is that they think they are being smart with their money.
They look at what happened with Apple, Microsoft, Google stocks way back in the day and think “huhuhu, I’m not going to be one of those idiots who misses out on an opportunity like that!”
It’s FOMO and “high risk - high reward” gambler mentality, wrapped up in the illusion of being a savvy investor.

I was raised pretty middle-upper class. Only child. My dad made 6 figures. I had a lot of privilege growing up and I knew I did. I was well informed on family finances, investments, etc. We were also frugal(ish) in spending. We went camping every year which I loved, but very few things like vacations, new cars, etc. We had a modest house in a small town. My parents would always just have a shit ton of money saved in savings accounts or investments.
Fast forward to today, they helped my partner and I buy a small farm halfway across the country. We’re a single income house (my partner has disabilities that prevents them from working). We live paycheque to paycheque because I like spending money. Local farmers market, buying things for the farm, and I get a little money spendy because my parents never really did that. I learned all the tips and tricks growing up and once let loose I didn’t really care. Never did.
We’re financially perfectly okay. We have debt like everyone else, but it’s manageable. But we don’t save anything. We’re trying to now this past year but it’s slow because I work in town and my partner will want me to pick up this thing from Canadian Tire, or this from Home Hardware, and always needing new things, or upgrading things on the century old house and homestead.
Basically, I was raised with money and my parents didn’t spend a lot of it. They’re very well off now. I do the opposite. I don’t really care much about the future, as hopefully we can break even on the farm. But we are trying to live more in the now than my parents ever did. Financially, I am very different from my parents.

Sometimes no matter how much parents try their kid will still end a dumbass.
