> Cryptocurrency is one of the worst inventions of the 21st century. I am ashamed to share an industry with this exploitative grift. It has failed to be a useful currency, invented a new class of internet abuse, further enriched the rich, wasted staggering amounts of electricity, hastened climate change, ruined hundreds of otherwise promising projects, provided a climate for hundreds of scams to flourish, created shortages and price hikes for consumer hardware, and injected perverse incentives into technology everywhere. Fuck cryptocurrency.

This must be the first time I'm agreeing with Drew, how do we stop the cryptocurrency disease before it destroys IT and civilization as we know it?

well in the absurd case of everyone just using crypto at the same time people's investments/loans will just become totally irrelevant. All that shit basically gets thrown out the window. Everything would come to a grinding halt and we will return to monke

>How would torrents be banned smart guy? Are they going to contact the seeders and just tell them to stop seeding? This shit is everywhere and nowhere guy. it's never going to be stopped. It's going to keep trolling your ass to the grave

>be government wanting to ban crypto
>crypto's entire selling point is decentralization and distributed networking
>anyone can connect to the blockchain and participate
>connect to blockchain
>log IPs of everyone you connect to
>subpoena and v& all connections within your jurisdiction

The only reason it doesn't happen like that with torrents is because it isn't worth it to pursue people stealing porn and movies. If the government feels legitimately threatened by cryptocurrency it'll throw everything it has at destroying it. In fairness, I don't think "the government COULD fight this" is a good argument to not do something, but you're wrong thinking they couldn't.

I only had Nokia phones until then. Even the the obviously shitty 5800 expressmusic. Don't even try to guilt trip me here. They got plenty money out of my pockets. They had one foot in the grave the second Steve Jobs took the iPhone out of his pocket. Nokia and Balmer's Microsoft deserve their fate.

I bought a Moto G Play for a cheap phone for my kid. It's a fucking heavy behemoth compared to my Pixel 3a which isn't even that small.

I want an iphone mini sized Android phone with IR blaster and (((5g))).

Looks similar to the phone I just got from Assurance. This one's a coolpad; model number CP3320AS2. Google tells me it's a coolpad Legacy S or something but this one's got a USB-micro connector rather than USB-C as specs found online indicate.

if you dismiss the questions you're above it, not "trying" to avoid it but just avoiding it, now you put too much thought into it and you're trying to backpedal your initial thought because you had time to analyze it
if you answer it yes/no, you're submitting to the question which has nothing to do with you, you're letting yourself be analyzed by something that has nothing to do with you

It's not. A "Yes."/"No." question is if I say: "I ask you a question and you answer with "Yes" or "No"."
If you just ask a question that has "Yes." or "No." as possible answers and you actually answer the question without thinking using one of those answers, you agreed with what was being asked subconsciously, even if both answers show insecurity.

Raising your eyebrow and saying "Uhh.. Hmm... *Thinking for 3 seconds* I wouldn't care." is what someone would do who actually wasn't subsciously affected by the questions insecurities.

>A Yes."/"No." question is if I say: "I ask you a question and you answer with "Yes" or "No"."
This is the default situation any time someone is asked such a question; the asker is looking for either yes or no as an answer, otherwise it wouldn't have been phrased as one in the first place. If you really didn't want a yes/no answer you'd have phrased it differently, such as "How threatened would you feel if…"

>If you just ask a question that has "Yes." or "No." as possible answers and you actually answer the question without thinking using one of those answers
Then that just makes you a normal person because you answered a yes/no question with a yes or no answer.

If you answered "I don't care" instantly, that means you're trying to brush it off asap. And if you do the following
>Raising your eyebrow and saying "Uhh.. Hmm... *Thinking for 3 seconds* I wouldn't care."
That means that you were thinking of whether to avoid answering the question and ultimately decided not to, which means that you do care.

Scandinavia yes.
It's a completely newly built apartmentbuilding.
The furniture is of a bit higher quality than your average ikea, yes. But most of it is just oak and veneer of kinds. It's well worth if if you intend to keep it for a very long time. The plastic veneer kind will eventually break off.
Last apartment I lived at was built in the 70s, absolute trash. So with this new place I wanted to splooge on the furniture.
It's great for ones mental health I feel.
