- Comment on [Même] Which movie was this for you? 1 week ago:
I feel like you have to go in knowing it’s extremely slow and methodical, it really gives room to breath and take in the sights and such. Idk it’s a very interestingly shot movie and I wish more were like it, seems like people’s attention spans aren’t long enough though.
- Comment on What is the argument for making poor/working class folks shoulder the burden of taxes? 3 weeks ago:
Not so much defending heavy taxation on the working class specifically, instead focusing solely on why the wealthy and mega corps have to have a low tax rate

Because being in the in crowd is more of a status symbol at that level then for things like cars.

Definitely pure convenience and flavor.
Wife bought one (even though we have refillables) and damn if it doesn’t taste really fucking good, hits perfectly without needing to fuck with it.
Still don’t think we should make it a regular thing because it’s so wasteful

My laymen understanding is they slowly break down and become less effective but not dangerous or negative.
- Comment on Preference 1 month ago:
I have a bit of an alternative, I used to get headaches a lot as a child, the meds absolutely helped as usually I’d take them so I could sleep it off, which almost always did clear it up.
I’m not sure why I was so frequently having headaches, but it definitely dropped off a lot once I moved out and started my own life, now it’s only maybe once or twice a month.

Is that technically an allergic reaction?

Unless there’s a multiplayer aspect where it gives an unfair advantage, while it might be a bit unsavory and potentially predatory, I think being able to get those mtx in game “legit” without it being a slog is honestly much less shitty then other MTX I’ve seen.

- Comment on Eve Frontier is a survival game spin-off of Eve Online and, yup, it's full of blockchain bullshit 2 months ago:
Nah yeah I don’t disagree, I’m not a fan of gambling, I just know it was prevelant within Eve and generally prefer systems that are potentially more fair.
Similarly, I’m not a fan of prostitution, but I’d be in favor of legalizing it in the US so that they have more protection under the law.

There is a lot of transactions that end up taking place “off game” with things like casinos/gambling being a specific example for EVE. Rather then having to trust that you’ll get your isk (I never played but watched the down the rabbit hole on EVE, which is great BTW, and watched from afar throughout the years).
With a smart contract system, there wouldn’t be the same concerns that things aren’t being distributed properly, unless there’s a bug in how the smart contract was written, which absolutely can and has happened, but at least it’d all be publicly viewable. That’s one thing I very much appreciate about the idea of crypto in general, transparency in where money is moving.
I’m sure there’s other potentials but that one stuck out to me as gambling was a rather large part of eve history.
- Comment on Eve Frontier is a survival game spin-off of Eve Online and, yup, it's full of blockchain bullshit 2 months ago:
Extensibility, lots of collaborative development work across the crypto landscape rather then only being done by the company producing the game.
A quick obvious example mentioned was smart contracts, a company attempting to create that functionality from the ground up would be a lot more work then hooking into an already existing infrastructure where many lessons have already been learned from prior failures.
It doesn’t actually state in the article (because the writer was mostly just whining that crypto exists) but I am curious if the idea would be for the tokens to be transacted or utilized outside of the game itself in some fashion while still being completely track able.
- Comment on Eve Frontier is a survival game spin-off of Eve Online and, yup, it's full of blockchain bullshit 2 months ago:
Lmfao using smart contract functionality for an in-game currency actually makes a ton of sense. It’s basically just a more extensible version of any in-game currency.
The caveat I think of is fees required to transact being a potential issue, otherwise the article just screams of “I hate block chain and refuse to see how it could be used in any way”

I think it leads people to the fringe in general, I wasn’t making the case for right wing specifically.

I would imagine it gives you the taste of “everyone is lying to you” and then latch on to… Other people still lying to you, but it’s just randoms online, they’d never lie like govt or the MSM.
It’s easy to fall into if you don’t have the critical thinking skills to sift through what is/isn’t bullshit.
