Do you think the vtuber >girlfriend roleplay stops being fun and starts getting a bit sad
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
Damn I'm tired It's 6:30 But I need a nap
Anno
I think if someone's prone to feeling sad over it, they probably won't ever get really into it Where as serious gachikoi fans have either accepted it's an illusion and are happy living the illusion, or are fully delusional over it
tbf the jedi disappeared 40 years ago or something and even before that yoda was really only widely known among the jedi also, remember that throughout the original trilogy, a lot of people didnt even know who the jedi were the empire virtually erased all information about them
Anno
my favorite part of kotor 2 is when you correct someone and say "actually it was the sith that started the war" and the response is I DON'T CARE, NO ONE CARES, YOU SPACE WIZARDS ARE ALL THE SAME
something tells me there's a certain group of people out there who are real mad about the Tuskan Raiders being portrayed as more than just savages in this show
a lotta space scifi has this thing where the further from the center of the galaxy you get, the less government control there is, but that doesn't really make all that much sense, does it?
like why would that even be the case? it's not like the further you get from Germany, the less government there is in Europe That's not how this shit works
i love lappland
SEXXXXXXXXXXXX SEEEEEEXXXXXXXXX ORE WA SEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
>>1026228 I think the sense of scale here is very important Europe is very small An entire galaxy is very big Like that's an understatement on top of that
Even if you go to parts of the States which are best described as "middle of nowhere", you'll find there's less government around It's simply just a logistical weakness of distance, and it's only amplified by the fact that you're now dealing with a scale of space here Like how do you even keep up to date on all the goings of planets in systems on the outer edges of the galaxy? Snail mail carried by postal service ships that make hyperspace jumps?
Marsh shitposting on the go via Telephone
Is this the cum thread?
月
>>1026228 stellar density is a lot more compactified near the center too on the fringes of the galaxy the stars tend to be much further apart and probably creates a much more rigid barrier for interstellar advancement it'd be like europe sending interpol to some native-inhabited island to go police them when they don't even realize other civilization exists
月
plus there's like dozens of stars in a whole galaxy while europe doesn't even have a single noteworthy star
oh. it was the CN one. I thought for some reason it was the EN
S C
>>1026231 >>1026233 I feel like both of you missed the part where you still have government in Europe regardless of distance from Germany because there are governments that are not Germany
Anno
Europe isn't a monolithic imperial government, that's why No matter what dumb shitposty thing you might be tempted to say The Galactic Empire in Star Wars is a textbook case of the faults of a sprawling centralized government a la the Roman Empire There are no other governments in the Star Wars galaxy which don't support the chain structure of the Imperial government
Mahou Shoujo Marsh-chan
ah mate i've got heaps of dumb shitposty things to say
Anno
well go on then say it
月
>>1026255 part of governing comes from the ease of communication and access, which EU is entirely streamlined to do just consider how huge a galaxy is and the kind of resources it would take to maintain the kind of access needed to assert control over an area it's probably going to be consolidated in the galactic core which has a tiny radius and most of the stellar systems, rather than the exponentially larger radius to connect the outer rim of the galaxy for the additional few stellar systems
how are you gonna monitor, survey, and enforce an area 200 thousand lightyears across it's not just 20 times as much resources as an area 10 thousand lightyears across you're talking exponents for area actually volume but it's more like a flattened disk than a sphere so area
Mahou Shoujo Marsh-chan
>>1026258 >he doesn't think the EU is a monolithic, imperial government
Anno
bravo
S C
I should have just used some other country that isn't specifically Germany to avoid this bullshit of being lumped in with lunatics who think the EU is the 4th Reich
>>1026263 May have been good foresight But the points Moon and I are making are not relevant to that
Anno
The Emperor dissolves the Imperial Senate, it's one of the first political worldbuilding pieces we get in A New Hope So there aren't even representatives and structure like that which would govern or represent the distant reaches of the galaxy's territory
S C
I guess my criticism was really that it makes very little sense for there to be a single centralized state structure for a territory so large it is effectively not actually possible for it to project power on huge parts of it Ruling a single planet is difficult enough
>>1026270 that's understandable, but i think if we consider the galactic core to be the critical part of a galaxy, then control of the galactic core is effectively control of the galaxy youv'e got like 90% of the energy output of the whole galaxy, you don't really need to fuss about for the extra 10% when it takes exponentially more resources
let the outer fringes do their thing, they won't be able to compete with you anyway when you have that much power
Anno
>>1026270 To step out of the world for a moment, I don't think George Lucas fully comprehended the scale of a galactic universe when he was building the world for Star Wars I agree that functionally there is no way for an Imperium to stretch the full distance of a galaxy, not even in the more decentralized forms we've considered empire like Imperial China or parts of historical Mezoamerica He just thought the idea of a Galactic Empire as the big enemy sounded cool and ran with it Accepting that it is somehow possible they kept power in the fifty or so years from Darth Sideous' ascension to his death is definitely one of the suspensions of disbelief needed to step into the world of Star Wars
Anno
>>1026270 one of the many things that makes no sense in star wars
月
and yeah star wars is fuckin lol
S C
Can't believe he for real called the cantina music's genre jizz
Anno
Seems like an apt term for shitty jazz
S C
The cantina song is an actual banger though Not even as a joke, it's pretty good
月
I imagine any group labeling itself as Galactic Federation or Galactic Empire isn't actually a governing representative body of the entire galaxy anyway that sounds like just one faction projecting itself onto the whole galaxy despite what everyone wants i'd imagine that faction going and intercepting messengers from other galaxies and trying to say "yeah we control this place do business with us" even if it's like just a small fraction of a percent
S C
Definitely possible
Anno
Kirara could probably cover this better than I could but I don't even think there's any regular dialogue with entities from beyond the galaxy in Star Wars I think there may be strange forces and threats that come in, in some kind of Hollywood styled cosmic horror threat, but as far as I know there's no other galactic civilizations in the Star Wars canon
My understanding of the Galatic Federation is they're pretty much the only established governing force and they work to dissolve any other forms of serious governing in the galaxy
S C
Yeah AFAIK in The Lore, it all takes place in a single galaxy and without any extragalactic interference
月
i don't know shit about the star wars canon/lore it's not really even what i think of as sci-fi but i guess it probably is the movies sure as hell don't seem like it though
Anno
I definitely don't really consider Star Wars sci-fi If anything it's more aptly science fantasy, which is still kind of dumb because it implies an aura of science Maybe space fantasy?
Yeah
S C
It's scifi without any real focus on the Sci bit
月
space fantasy? space opera?
Anno
It's definitely a space opera, but you can have space opera which doesn't rely so much of magic hokey pokey
i love lappland
it's definitely space fantasy i was talking about this earlier today there's like barely even a hint of sci-fi in there
>>1026293 >>1026292 actually a star wars opera would be fucking sick or just a straight-up musical i'm down for this
月
science-friction maybe
月
i could imagine proper sci-fi having intergalactic comms the timescale would be insane but the methodology could be there through light spectrum signatures the only real trade that could occur would be knowledge/information though anyone controlling a galaxy surely doesn't need resources
S C
A star wars musical would be the only står wars content I'm entirely unwilling to interact with
i love lappland
what about a high-fantasy setting that allegorically follows the entire plot of episodes 4-6
Anno
>>1026296 At that point you get communication which is akin to written mail in the time of sailing Trying to send letters from Europe to the Americas which wouldn't be delivered for months Except between galaxies you'd still probably be looking at scales of several years minimum
i love lappland
wow i just thought of it and now i want it so badly the razing of the city of alderaan jedis using sword and sorcery jabba the hutt is like a really fat orc
S C
I'd be stoked to see a movie or two that actually really takes the science shit in star wars seriously somehow Like something set during the dawn of space conquest and the time of exploration
That'd be sick as hell
月
>>1026300 i mean it's tens to hundreds of thousands of light years across a single galaxy so unless we're talking FTL but then it can be whatever you want anyway which really cheapens the whole bit
S C
Some scifi cheats a little and lets information be transferable at ftl
Anno
>>1026299 It's pretty well known Lucas read Joseph Campbell's A Hero With A Thousand Faces and was taken pretty investedly by the cycle of heroism Campbell observed by studying stories from mythology and drawing parallels to fiction He probably would have written a fantasy eventually if he didn't get to make Star Wars
月
>>1026305 i don't think it's necessary though there's plenty of meaningful conversation to be had one-way, with the observation being the interactive part of the communication like excavating archaeology here on earth can really feel like reading the messages of an ancient world
i'm not strictly against it in sci-fi but it really has to be handled delicately something that game-changing just opens the rules wide to do whatever you want, as the storywriter or as an actor in the story it can get real cheap real fast
Anno
>>1026303 Semi-FTL transportation does exist in Star Wars with the hyperspace jumps its ships are capable of Which is why I think any kind of serious long-distance communication in the world would be a form of snail mail carried by postal ships But I don't know how that operates past the limits of the galaxy, I'm pretty sure the hyperspace cuts off where planetary locations dry out This again is something Kirara could explain better than I could They have worked out exactly how hyperspace works in the decades since A New Hope but I've never looked into it
月
i'd presume hyperspace jumps would have had to have been traversed once before to set it up or that's the common trope bordering on realism anyway
月
is lucas in charge of the canon though or just those few movies i kinda don't care what the canon is if lucas himself wrote it originally at least
S C
I don't even know if he's involved anymore
月
yeah it's disney now isn't it but i mean there were books years ago, before even the recent movies i just dunno if lucas wrote those or if someone competent established the lore
Anno
>>1026312 Lucas allegedly wrote nine scripts for nine episodes of movies, which later got adapted into episodes IV-VI and I-III He was pretty controlling over the writing for those movies, and while he didn't write a lot of the fleshing out material like the Clone Wars series, I do think they passed under his approval Before Disney bought out Star Wars, there was something called the Extended Universe, which was basically Lucasfilm saying anything they approved to publish under the Star Wars franchise, be it novels, comics, games, etc., was canon It's hard to know how much Lucas was involved in that, but I reckon not much, if at all After Disney bought Lucasfilm they officially threw out pretty much all the extended universe as canon, so it's a bit hard to know where all the rules and logic of the Star Wars world are now, since a lot of what people took as worldbuilding was in those other materials.
月
yeah i can't really follow something like that it all feels so confusing
i love lappland
Extended Universe is whack and filled with pretty dumb stuff to be canon lucas was thumbing up anything he'd collect a bag on
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
I have a pre empire strikes back novel with a romance subplot with Luke and Leia

i love lappland
yeah i'm definitely not going to disagree there i'm saying the the EU stuff has even worse quality control there is some good stuff though
like kotor and kyle katarn stuff
Anno
>>1026324 I think, especially for big things like a whole fantasy world, let alone galaxy, having tight authorial control is pretty useful Now I don't think authorial integrity was ever a big concern of Lucas', he made Star Wars as a commercial venture and just wanted something he could make money in first, and being able to play out his fantasy dreams was a bonus So I think the best thing to do with Star Wars is treat it the way he did Just a backdrop to tell fun stories on
Rei !p8eYCadcMo

I am thinking of getting a proper desktop computer but I might just get a pre-built one the idea of diy is a bit stressful
Anno
Might be worth seeing if there's any local businesses that do custom pre-builts Most pre-builts are usually low-spec, even if you're paying a premium (although I hear it can be a way to sometime get a top of the line GPU) So if you're aiming for a pre-built, might as well get the best you can
DIY is a little stressful but it's actually not that hard and I think it was a really rewarding experience
Anno
its not that hard to build a tower rig. Patience and being gentle when building helps.
Anno
>>1026531 Pretty much yeah Unless you are dead set against building a DIY, I'd recommend it above all else You'll get the best price point for your parts this way, and being the one who assembles the PC means you know how it's put together, which can help in the future with swapping out and upgrading parts Some pre-builts, especially ones from big manufacturers, are also poorly put together, and are either harder to swap parts out of, or are designed without thought to airflow and good cable management
man how did they ever lose the war when one jedi master just took out a whole platoon of super droids must have just been bad at warfare

The Jedi were firstly betrayed, then branded traitors by the new empire, and then had Darth Vader as well as a trained army of Jedi-mudering inquisitors go after the remaining members
Seems to depend on the episode and the person watching It is a Mandolorian season 2.5 kind of though, so worth watching if you're invested in this series
I did enjoy mandalorian a lot, so I guess if it keeps up what they did well, I'll watch it Never gave much of a damn about Boba Fett outside this show though, hell I couldn't even tell you if he's in the movies or not I assume he is, but I literally don't know And I marathoned them all, though it's been a long while now
Anno
Boba Fett is the clone-son of Jango Fett, the template who all original clones who became the
You dropped there, but yeah, I know who Jango is and stuff, I just dunno if you ever actually see Boba in the movies or not Or if he's just EU content
Anno
original Stormtroopers were made from >>1026551 Calm your ass I'm getting to that
You see Boba in Episode II briefly as a child, but he has a small bit part in Episode V and VI as a bounty hunter who captures Han for the bounty Jabba the Hut puts on him, cooperating with Vader and the Imperial soldiers under his command in the meanwhile He meets his fate dropping into the gaping maw of the Sarlac pit, the nest of what's kind of like a giant antlion except not an insect and more ... gross
Except even from the release of Episode VI, Lucas was always clear that falling into the Sarlac Pit wasn't immediate death, as they only digest their prey in their stomach acid slowly over the course of years So there was always that hanging plot hook of "What will Boba Fett do when he escapes?"
Sorry, it's just that sometimes when you drop on moe you don't see it on your end so you keep typing Didn't want you to go "ah fuck" and have to type it all again

i love lappland
i gotta say though the like two weeks i worked for amazon my shifts went by incredibly fast i don't think i've worked a job that monotonous before 10 hours would go by in a flash
Anno
>>1026815 Yeah it really all around sucks Like you could wear gloves to protect your hands, but then the already fairly low-friction surfaces of the cardboard are impossible to grip When I started I had a pair of gloves but after like a week I got so fed up with constantly having to switch between having them on and taking them off that I put them aside and lost them
My job was paying relatively all right, but minimum wage got a dollar increase as of January 1st so now they're only paying me a dollar above it And factor in the health insurance plan we're all co-opted into, I could probably make a better wage working somewhere else Although it might be harder to find a consistent forty hours like here
Not that that's really enough to keep me wanting to stay there
If only I could get paid to write politely worded messages turning people down and implying they're being a pest without explicitly saying so This past month has gotten me really good at doing it
I mean I guess I am getting paid for it but I'd rather do that without the rest of these job responsibilities
oh samu the witch heart thing did eventually go through nobody's sold one yet, but I guess as long as they keep throwing things at these witches, there's a reason to own one
also upon further inspection i think this heart project was entirely third party? i bet the dev will receive a sick custom witch as reward >>1026945 yep
maybe I just scuffed it because I ONLY did the free one? >>1026949 yeah but when I go to the site now it says I already minted it But the tx hashes don't even exist
Nono, I ha- Oh yeah maybe? it lets me do the paid one tho It's just the free it says is minted already

noo the free one should work uhh it might be stopping you cuz you have a witchheart in yiur account now? maybe? idk
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
that would be a bug, maybe they didnt expect this scenario
well, it doesn't let me do it anymore now, so I guess it's borked one way or another weird that the attempt shows up in my metamask and has a tx hash link, but there's nothing there tho
I don't really know what even went wrong is the thing >>1026955 No I mean there is a link https://etherscan.io/tx/0xb6809e790e9ed7e3176cebffb819dbc557e44244046cabc50ec17b3390963530 but like that doesn't exist there's no words on it
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
you could go to the discord for help it you want it idk i sorta dohbt these hearts will appreciate in value, they're just a crop there will be more derivative projects later
something like that I guess I tried to do it twice, so I have two such entries in metamask cause the first one didn't work so I was like, I musta done something wrong Tried again same thing, figured "oh it'll probably just take some time to resolve" so now there's just two like that, sitting around "queued"
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
ok here's what you do top right circle settings advanced scroll down a bit reset account
what a dumb way to do it though They could have just done it like, each witch gets one free mint, instead of one per wallet, cause that's just... not a real limitation if you're willing to shuffle it between wallets
like you said though, value's unlikely to appreciate a whole ton on these But hey, maybe they will be attractive for the people who got one of the witches with an accompanying heart though I dunno a damn thing about this stuff, I don't get why any of this is valuable still

broth as a drink is just, normal for me, honestly my mom would heat up bouillon cubes in some water and serve it basically like tea all the time when I was a kid Well, to me anyway, not as like, a drink for guests or nothing it's good stuff I still have some bouillon cubes for this purpose, though I rarely bother with it
Anno
I wouldn't be against having something like just the broth of chicken soup or some miso soup to drink as something to satisfy small appetite cravings throughout the day

I would have expected you've seen like pictures or video are you sure you're not Amish most modern churchs have bands

>>1026992 Why the fuck would I look at pictures or watch videos of services at a church? I detest Christianity.
Anno
yeah but it's not like looking at a single frame is like looking at the sun jfc
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1026994 I have no reason to so I haven't. I mean I probably have, just never seen pictures of a band on the pulpit.
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
As far as I knew, churches had organs (real or electric) and choirs.

hell tou //

I mean you could even just see that episode of South Park where they make a modern Christian band and that is close to the embodiment of modern Christianity

>>1026998 If I saw it on south park i would not think it was real or a common thing.
>SodaStream's new factory is actively complicit in Israel's policy of displacing the indigenous Bedouin-Palestinian citizens of Israel in the Naqab (Negev). SodaStream's mistreatment of and discrimination against Palestinian workers is not forgotten either.
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1027010 Oh That's a good reason to boycott it. Being Israeli in of itself isn't a good reason to.
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
their old factory was >SodaStream factory was located in one of the largest illegal Israeli settlements built on stolen Palestinian land, on the ruins of seven Palestinian villages whose inhabitants were forced out to make way for a Jewish-only town, in contravention of international law and decades of stated US policy.

People who use magic cards as investments are scum and are helping ruin the game. It's one thing if you buy cards you think will be expensive later to trade for cards you use. But they aren't shares in a company.

if you submerge yourself in the anti crypto rhetoric all the time it would appear that way, yes
i love lappland
i've submerged myself in both sides and i still have hope for cryptocurrency but this jpeg shit needs to stop
i love lappland
the current most popular use for NFTs is going to be the death of crypto

there's basically no way to stop it, so, shrug pandora's box is open
i love lappland
also did you hear about ukranian militias using bitcoin for international fundraising
which is actually one of the first times i've heard of bitcoin being used for it's actual intended purpose - circumventing the financial institutions and governments that control the way we transfer wealth
it's also a really big reason for said governments and financial institutions to worry about crypto as much as they should - assuming their goals are self-interest and nothing else that said, it isn't like this stuff hasn't been happening, with emphasis on the "first times i've heard" part of that last bit russia has actually been doing this for a while when sponsoring individual groups for its purposes, and definitely the cia has been too
the state should definitely worry that said i wonder sometimes if bitcoin as it exists is a psyop by the CIA or something it's like the most taxable thing ever
i love lappland
>>1027198 i don't think it exists as a psyop by the CIA, but only following the semantics of that phrase i don't think the cia developed and marketed bitcoin, but they've definitely adopted it, and so have a lot of clandestine groups but oftentimes they do so specifically because it's traceable with the caveat that people think it isn't also wallets are traceable but who really owns them is of course a very different story
also i'm not going to stop my bashing of NFTs and basically any crypto that isn't eth or btc because i think most of it is just grift >>1027205 while i don't intend to put any of my wealth in bitcoin any time soon i think that the fact that it's in gridlock is one of the only reassuring things about it from a long-term value perspective
one of the most important aspects of currency is stability if bitcoin is to be anything more than a speculative asset (i.e. gamble) then it needs to eventually attain some sort stabilized perception of value
gold is only slightly more useful than bitcoin from a utilitarian standpoint but it's value is nearly immutable across the world its? it's? i think it's its
one of eth's biggest concerns for the future is that if it's constantly changing shape and form, it's potentially going to shift in value in a way that makes it untenable as a long-term holding asset while i don't think that's eth's plan is to change constantly, it hasn't been around long enough (i.e. decades) to guarantee that it won't go away or change to become undesirable
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
bitcoin is a freakin tumor now the absence of its founder and the resulting complete gridlock in progress sucks ass but that's how the bitcoin maxis like it
>>1027203 but i'm still holding out hope that crypto can actually become a form of currency long-term this is a foolish hope, as the world order as we know it is not going to benefit from that directly >>1027212 what do you mean i've watched folding ideas's "line goes up" video but he didn't really say anything i didn't already feel i still get a ton of news articles (mostly from very pro-crypto and pro-nft sources) on my news feed and still indulge myself in them this is just my own independently developed thoughts mostly in resistance to what i see as a really big kool-aid party
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
wow i didnt expect to see bitcoin maxi arguments from bang whatcha been watching there
what is crypto supposed to be about for these people anyways? the more i see the word "web3" the more i'm convinced it's a get rich quick hack that the world is obsessed with i don't care about getting rich i want to see actual change in the world
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
>>1027203 software fossilized this early is kinda useless it's gotta grow and evolve bitcoin has no privacy, proof of work is awful, and there's no real plan to change any of it i don't think stagnation is a strength. you look at usage and bitcoin has basically fallen off completely... the flippening approaches i hope it happens, so that bitcoin mining becomes less and less profitable over time
i love lappland
the no privacy is the key
proof of work is awful yeah but idk i'm not sold yet on much else
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
the idea of web3 is ownership to destroy the gatekeepers and middlemen of web2 web3 is broad really. it could be anything, because it's a vague moniker
i love lappland
bitcoin mining is supposed to end eventually i do consider that a feature
i recognize other faults with bitcoin, i don't think bitcoin is the future and it's important not to zoom-in on the parts of it that i consider good ya boy will never own any btc in his life
i'm just saying that if a cryptocurrency wants to have an actual shot at disrupting currency with the intended effect of decentralizing finance and circumventing the financial and governmental institutions that currently control transfers of wealth that it's going to have to be something that either can't change anymore after a certain point or only by near-acts-of-god
>>1027224 bitcoin emissions are supposed to taper out by like 2140 or something? but you still have to mine proof of work forever unless someone changes it
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
and there seems to be no political will to change it maybe if btc gets flipped, people will start to get amenable to making it eco
i love lappland
>>1027224 please pay extra attention to the second stanza here also i'm using context clues to assume a bitcoin maxi is a long term btc holder?
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
well, eth has a well defined plan at this point it's FUD to say it's gonna change into something drastically different the plan is to merge to pos, then add sharding, and probably some more ZK privacy stuff. and some weird techno shit that i dont understand vitalik has laid it out
i love lappland
definitely for sure the lingo is a problem that's the ponzi parallel that gives me the willies
i love lappland
>>1027231 he has, but the important thing here is that it's capable of changing gold is not capable of changing i'm not saying that is necessarily the end-all be-all to the concept but it's scary to know that the things you supposedly own can change
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
>>1027230 oh sorry bitcoin maxis are the dudes online who are like bitcoin is all you need and they deploy lots of uncertainty about eth cuz they're scared of it
i love lappland
alright well i'm still a fiat maxi then >>1027239 that's exactly my point!
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
gold is frickin useless anyway 90% of it just sits in vaults way too impractical to actually move it around
i love lappland
that's exactly my point here but also note that it still holds value and more importantly, can still be used clandestinely to circumvent the financial institutions
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
btc is way more useful than gold in that respect, you can actually move it around without a single physical object
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
>>1027240 ehh i mean kinda but you really can't pay for much in gold, you need to call a guy to assay it probably a banker btc is trivial to verify whatever, btc, any other blockchain coin
i love lappland
yeah but you lose a certain amount of value with every transaction you do with gold too in a way but idk >>1027246 yeah but for the same reasons btc is trivial to verify, it is, in the end, not so anonymous briefcases of fiat are probably easier even although i don't really know how people go about that particluar side of laundering so maybe not
theres a bunch of gangs in canada who trade briefcases of 1000 dollar bills back and forth it's so wack they can never actually cash the bills in, no one accepts 1000 dollar bills anymore technically you could go to the treasury and get the face value but how sus is that
i love lappland
my point in the end here is just that cryptos and nfts are still too new to be putting all this faith in especially when the majority of people and the majority of money is bad faith
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
yea that's fair it's new and undeveloped and you gotta know a bit to avoid gettin hacked privacy needs to be developed but hey im here to get in early and help out it's exciting

security in general is never going to be perfect never has been in human history
god take a look into the world of locks and physical security it's actually deperessing as fuck
there was a thief in austin caught recently who was just opening up whatever storage units he wanted he said something like "you aren't going to want to hear this but most of the locks at every storage place are basically useless"
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
yeah locks are pretty bad security is always at odds with convenience no such thing as perfect security for sure
elliptic curve crypto do be pretty sweet tho no one's breakin that shit ever unless someone builds a 2000 qubit quantum computer or something
the rich always get in somehow can't block em without blockin everyone else
proof of stake is actually superior in this regard, it's entirely equitable everyone rich or poor gets the exact same % return
i love lappland
god imagine if we create this immense amount of crypto wealth and then two generations later, the new generation looks back a couple generations with disgust at our propensity for fucking them over financially like father like son
i mean if you have to be an early adopter now imagine how fucked they'll be two hops down the baby train but who knows what the world will even look like then
yeah but inflationary currency is better for newer generations intrinsically i think deflationary currency is really bad for newcomers unless i missed something really stupid and important
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
no youre right more value is created in the world as new people come in and they gotta get in somehow the value created in the world would ideally match the value represented in the financial system deflationary currencies dont match that... unless your population is shrinking uh oh
>>1027368 Man what nerds Although I did hear that Christopher Tolkien also didn't approve of the movies and how they tweaked things about his dad's books to make it more acceptable for Hollywood Which, sure, I'm not going to argue didn't happen But not every time you adjust things to make it more palatable for a wider audience does it end up bad or even necessarily worse
>>1027370 Cover did put out a news bulletin on Twitter mentioning it, and Kanata did post a tweet in both Japanese and English about it So you probably did read it

Ohayou! I slipped on ice and fell while walking to the bus.
my landlord sent me a survey and said i could do it for a chance to win $500 off my rent next month or whatever and i opened it and basically theyre trying to trick me into /// trying to get me to write them positive reviews online. its not actually a survey
There's gotta be some type of rule against tricking your tenants into leaving a review for you, right? It's one thing if you say you'd like them to review, but when you say it's a survey, you're just lying to them
It's all pretty stupid. Idgi but I'm not writing them a good review considering their policy is to raise rent 10% every year and the property manager has discretion as to who gets the reductions. She keeps me at 3-4% increase every year because we have a special relationship but even that increase is too much.
If you were on your way out you could just leave it like "They tried to trick me into writing this review, telling me it's a survey, so this is definitely one landlord to avoid cause they're scumbags."
The goal is to price people out. There's a limit to how much you can increase rent per year. But if someone can't afford the new rent and leaves because of it, they then have an empty property and can set the new price wherever they want. It also means they'll have empty properties every year because of the prices, and they can claim those empty properties for tax breaks and things like that.
S C
oh cause they can't just yeet you outright easily?
