  I’d expected much more glass on this one too. If you’re underwater for fun you want to see shit!

  The way umlauts or often used in memes like this one, the authors seem not to be aware that they are pronounced differently than the corresponding vowel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  With the minor difference that trekkies usually don’t kill people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Snikt⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow. Imagine adamantium cancer.

  Great first date question!

  If I had a friend who kept the company of fascists, I’d probably drop them real quick

  Not a good way to make them see reason. I know it’s hypothetical but if you’re friends shouldn’t you put in some effort to help instead of just drop them?

  I never get why his critics do that. He says so much stupid shit, there’s absolutely no need to pull something out of context and discredit yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hunger⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Never blow someone while hungry!

  Weirdo. That’s how I mark my property.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Got milk?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That feels like the Reddit of old - extreme niche memes but proper context in the comments. That’s how you learn nowadays!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please no⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Right? Should’ve just ditched the second “AM”. I AM WHO I R.

  Bottom left is green E.T.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please Stop⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  can you give me a like, more clear practical example of a good use of blockchain?

  Do you see how all the answers are generic, tend to be long and read like a sales pitch? That’s because the actual answer is: no, there is no practical legal application that isn’t better solved with conventional tech.

  The only application that is successfully used in practice is paying for organized crime: buying goods and services on the dark web and paying for extortion like ransomware attacks.

  Now add that trustlessness is impossible and you can scratch the blockchain box for good.

  You cannot get rid of trust in some form. You need entry to the system, so you need to trust its gateway. You need to trust the network to not have some vulnerability like a 50% attack. And eventually you need to trust the developers not to add critical bugs (that alone is virtually impossible) or pull off some scam.
