Fascinating. Live by the trolls, die by the trolls.

Exactly. That’s why it’s so pointless.

Well, that’s the point. In order for that system to work as described, you would need some kind of centralized authority to validate and enforce it. Once you’ve introduced that piece, there’s no point using NFTs anymore - you can just use any kind of simpler and more efficient key/authentication mechanism.

So even if the corporations wanted to use such a system (which, to your point, they do not), it still wouldn’t make sense to use NFTs for it.

This one is also a pretty good fit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kguaGI7aZg

I agree about that. That makes perfect sense. It’s when you start factoring in religion that it all breaks down for me.

That makes even less sense. If you don’t think you qualify to get into heaven, why would you desire to speed up the rapture? You’d just get left behind anyway.

I honestly find it baffling. If you believe in heaven, why would you fear death? Not saying you’re wrong, I just cannot comprehend that mindset.

I think this one was my favorite so far: https://mangadex.org/title/d5648ff0-6792-4c87-b9d3-b024ac7abbab/kyaba-jou-dakedo-jd-ni-otosaremashita

I found it both funny and cute.

This was me during the APIcalypse. Since joining Lemmy, I have:

• Realized I’m trans
• Procured a Steam Deck
• Started pirating again
• Been on HRT for over a year and counting
• Developed a chronic dependency on Yuri manga
• Lost 50-60 lbs

I hope you have a good time here as well!

I just hope the lack of net neutrality won’t end up destroying the fediverse, too.

At least a blåhaj is kind of like a pokémon.

The problem is that what you describe is not conservatism, it’s just basic competence in governance. It’s an impressive achievement of the radical right that they have managed to get people to conflate the two.

What about the trolls?

Oh, for sure. Skirts are also really comfy. Just thought it was funny given the context.

I like retrospective threads like this. Puts things in perspective. Growing up under conditions like that, it would have been weird if I hadn’t repressed my gender identity. Pity things couldn’t have changed earlier, and let me realize sooner.

Best part is that the “not gay” shorts look like a skirt. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Unfortunately, this was before xkcd. If I’d known about the “lucky 10,000”, I might have been more philosophical about it at the time.

I still recall how, as a fresh-faced, young gamer just getting into the newfangled realm of online multiplayer, I got absolutely got in Everquest when somebody told me you could get a numeric representation of your current experience points by typing “/ex”.

It was actually short for “/exit”. And in those days, it took a loooooooooooooooooong time to relaunch the game and get logged back in. Learned a valuable lesson about human nature that day. It has served me well.

Yeah, I’m with you. My understanding of the term “shitpost” is that it’s, by definition, low-effort and/or low-quality.

Soviets. And that early version of Tintin is rough.
